For the record you don't get preached at in any way whatsoever at the "Bread of Life" cafe. It is cheap and cheerful, spacious and accessible: sells coffee in cafetieres and excellent, basic hot meals. It does not open at weekends though IIRC

Rare for ED, Bread of Life cafe also have cards on the tables asking parents with children to be responsible for their offspring's behaviour creating a conducive atmosphere for ALL. And this is in a place where they have high-chairs, toys and a breast-feeding cafe. Goes to show - it IS possible to be child friendly without having rug rats run riot messing up everyone else's day!

Love the premise of this comment. A little too out the way from what, exactly?


How is that location out the way? There's plenty of people using Dulwich Library and the park all the time, plus loads of people to and fro-ing from Barry Road to Dulwich Village. It's quite bustling and, as other people have said, there's hardly any competition.


I live just around the corner and go quite often for a coffee before I head to work at the library. I hope they continue to do well.


We deserve better shops on both sides of the road along this strip - I just wish they'd finish the units along where the car parts place used to be. Looks such a mess, on both the main road and around the corner at the site entrance at the top end of Landells - and it's taking sooo long.

Was in there this morning for coffee on the way to work, asked to pay by card but as there was a min of ?5 and the bank

machine next door wasn't working the kind lady just told me to pay the next time I was in.


Don't think you'd get that in Starbucks!


Rock on the indie traders..

I did a spot of Paulie-from-Sopranos-drinking-coffee-outside-the-caf? last week and confirm the staff are lovely, the coffee is spot on and the croissant I had was best I've had anywhere for a long time


Unexpected rear garden as well - tiny, but better than nowt

ciabatta, coffee, canolli. All top notch. Feeling remarkably like I should now be off to see tony-the-blade (marco's boy, works with paulie) or similar


(although the yummy having a soy latte and 3 kids eating pom-bears didn't feature quite as prominently in Goodfellas)

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
