David Mc Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I haven't been recently, but the Blue Brick Cafe on junction of Shawbury/Fellbrigg roads always used to do it for me!

Quaywe Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Isn't this thread going on in some other post at present?Anyway tried The Uplands cafe on Saturday - HUGE fry up for only ?4, all cooked to perfection and the service was the friendliest I've seen in ED (the floor staff actually spoke english for a start!). Good all round really. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/80-how-about-a-best-greasy-spoon-poll/#findComment-641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Best greasy spoon is the one on Bellenden Road next to Lucius and Richards, a little bit cheaper than ?4 and not swimming in oil like most caffs!

Huguenot Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Uplands Cafe is on Uplands Road just along from the Uplands Pub...What else have we got - there's that one a couple of doors down from The Green on the north side of East Dulwich Road, and one 50 yards further east on the south side of the road. There's the one almost next door to Sea Cow, and the one next to Apollo video. What about the one sort of opposite the station?They should give them names...? ;-)Does Blue Mountain count if this is about a fry up - I like their Full Monty?

Ant Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 re uplands cafe - that's me told. will pay more attention in the future :)As for more greasy spoons (and again I'm failing with names) there's one on the corner of Lordship Lane and Crystal Palace Rd that looks good, though I've never been in. And one futher down Crystal Palace Rd, just beyond the crossroads with Goodrich.

Quaywe Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Mikhail, I've got nothing against non-english people....I AM one! I just don't like when people come to an english speaking country & they can't speak english! When in Rome...! Not to move away from the original subject though; I like Blue Mountain as a cafe, but for breakfast I don't. The reason being that the only eggs they do are scrambled. I'm only a fan of scrambled eggs on the odd occasion and would like to have the choice. Furthermore I don't think I've ever eaten at any cafe/restaurant that serves scrambled eggs that aren't overcooked. Blue Mountain is included.

jbob Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi - i'm new to the forumI went to the Blue Brick Cafe at the top of Shawbury road the other day and thought it was absolutely excellent, satisfyingly greasy and really tasty. The Blue Mountain annoys me that it only does scabbled eggs and all the other places i've tried down Lordship Lane always have really runny beans. Bubble and Sqeak up near the green rates high on friendlyness and surrealism.

boomerang Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Parkside Cafe on Forest Hill Rd - Best fry up by far, lots on the plate and always fresh... the guys are real gents too.... not keen on any of the others in ED and I have tried most of them too - and no Im not fat and round - but getting close!

Joe likes dinner Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 The one on the corner of Lordship Lane and Crystal Palace Road, is definitely worth a try - taking a walk in Dulwich Park or taking a trip to the Library are both geographically apt excuses for a sly visit!It is incredibly popular during the 'builders breakfast hour', 6-7 am, so if you are after a sneaky bacon sarnie before you head to work, you'll need to be leaving the home at least 10 minutes earlier.

Keef Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think I have to go for Blue Brick.Used to be The Uplands before it was called the Uplands (it was that bit more greasy spoonish).Also quite like the ED Cafe (next to Apollo Video).
