Just come across this thread and have to disagree with the complaint. This little cafe adds massively to the neighbourhood and charm of East Dulwich. The food is delicious, the staff lovely, the prices are good and we are lucky to have it!


With regards to the concerns of space and getting past - now more than ever it should be the councils responsibility to widen the pavement and give small businesses like this extra space to accommodate their guests and cater to the community. If necessary stop cars from parking in front of the cafe and allocate that space to extra tables!


We are lucky to have the Blue Brick and should all be supporting independent businesses especially now!

"it should be the councils responsibility to widen the pavement..."


Gonna make it difficult for the bin lorries to get around the corner if the pavement around the corner has been widened to fit more tables in. Same result if tables are plonked along the double yellow lines, in fact. Fine by me if some car parking spaces are taken away though

Agree.

Its on a quiet backstreet and with single tables on the pavement with a chair each side against the wall there is plenty of room to pass by.

We have a limited amount of precious streetscape, and much of it is used for storing cars that spend 90% of their existence stationary. We could have plenty of space for pedestrians and street diners if we reduced the amount of parking spaces by just 10%.


But that's "controversial", and it's better to have wheelchair users and cafes bicker over 6" of pavement width.

    • Did you query the tissues and sand?
    • I just tried to "like" a post and I got a message saying I could not add any more reactions today. Is this a new rule, or have I just been more restrained in the past?!  No idea why that last bit is underlined . ..
    • I have swum in it several times since it's reopened.  No problems.  The sand stuff is a bit off-putting but like all pools they'll have to test and log the water quality regularly so I think it's unlikely to be a health issue.  The water is clearer than a pool I use regularly near my work - also with no issues.
    • After looking through a few decorator recommendations on here and getting some quotes, I hired Kam to paint ceiling, walls, door, skirting etc in my hallway and bathroom. Really happy with the results and the experience with Kam. He is professional, friendly and polite: someone I was happy and comfortable to have in my home (I live on my own and this is not always the case) and implicitly trusted to be there when I was away. The price was reasonable, his communication was great and he was patient with some changes I wanted to make and willing to try painting tiled floors with a particular paint I found and worked meticulously to get a great finish with it and all aspects of the job.  He also went above and beyond to tidy up some painting jobs I'd done myself. Thoroughly recommend.   Kam: 07949507412 email: kamthompson1@yahoo.co.uk
