Had the Shepherd's pie (is it meant to have lamb in?) and wasn't all that impressed.


Girlfriend had the quiche which was bland. My friend had the bacon sandwich for which the bread was too thick and tough.


GF had the latte which wasn't, it's all to do with no froth I'm told, served in their dinky dual layer glasses which are remarkably cost efficient (ok I mean profit enhancing) as well as thermally so. To add insult to injury she was provided with a long handled teaspoon (aka a sundae spoon) just to emphasise how much less for more you get here than at the coffee chains down the road. He had a tea which was fine and I had a hot chocolate that was a tad thin on richness.


What can I say I am less than enthused by this pretentious place. A huge missed opportunity to win back the ground lost to Costa Nerostar and give us greast cuppas at a good price.


By the way I forgot to ask if teas can be topped up with hor water for free. Any one tried asking?

Just to balance things out I feel I should comment that the one time we went there we really enjoyed the whole experience.


Got a nice seat out the back where had space to park the pram without getting in the way. I had the kedgeree (fantastic) and my wife had the bacon sarnie. I of course tried some of hers also as she was raving about the bacon (comes from William Rose I believe) and was suitably impressed. Didn't notice tough bread as described. Also they sell those old style lemonades which I'm a big fan of.


Of course, it is pricey, hence why we don't go often, but good for a treat.

we had a waitress who didnt know the difference between bakewell tart and eccles cake. so we got the wrong one. for a raisin hater this was a problem, of course we got the right one in the end, but if you are going to be a posh cake shop then you should know your posh cakes!

Not that I know your drinking habits, Madworld74, but that's some claim. I'm not one to blow my own trumpet but I make a pretty damn decent cocktail myself, at half the price. You name it, i'll wipe the floor with the competition.>:D<


What did you have? I'm really interested in this place now. If they really are that good then I may have to check it out.

    • Eats Dulwich has just reviewed Arapina, including its hot chocolate!  I assume they read the original first and  very long post on this thread before almost all of it was removed. Interesting to have another opinion!
    • I see you have just reviewed Arapina's  hot chocolate 🤣
    • HA! If only . . . The other night I took the 37 from Herne Hill to Goose Green, only it was diverted via Denmark Hill. That would have been ok, except when the driver reached the junction for Denmark Hill she wasn't allowed to turn right as there were road works on Dog Kennel Hill starting at 8pm and all buses were being diverted via Camberwell Church St and Rye Lane.  I got off there at Kings College Hospital, as I figured it was closer to home than Peckham . . .  Still good for my step count I suppose.
