Perhaps I should.. Not much of a coffee drinker either but a nice pot of decent tea sounds more up by street.


Will report back.

Went there this morning.. Delightful little place...


Had a Pot of Tea 2.00 and one of those spirally current things (Pain aux raisins) ? 2.25


Tea was fresh in a proper china tea-pot with little milk jug.

Pain aux raisins was very fresh.


Lovely atmosphere with pleasant low level background music so you can talk without shouting.

Loved the simplicity of the d?cor and the little cushions. Not at all ostentatious.


Very attentive and pleasant staff..


Hope not too many people find out about it. I want it all to my self .. :)


No. Well worth a visit..


Could not resist the rustic sugar cubes Brown and White. not good for my B.G. levels..

But then I discovered they have gone to the trouble of providing Sweetners.

Dear French Cafe,


Please see that all but the OP on here loves your cafe. I myself have been for many years and never had a bad experience. I like too that it feels so friendly and local. I often see the same faces (both customers and staff) so that says something about your service. Loyal return custom always does. Think nothing of the OP. You and the staff have always gone out of your way to make room as best as possible for me, any guests I've been with and my LO. The food and coffee are always great. The OP must have been somewhere else ;)

I was amused to see a blackboard in Lordship Lane today advertising the Brick House and including the words "Average Looking Staff!" :)) :)) :))


ETA: Yas seems to have done wonders in getting this cafe known and loved by new customers. All good!

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
