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)

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
