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)

    • Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.
    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
