I have been in there at least 4 times and find the staff extremely friendly. They have samples on the counter to try. One staff member has been visiting the station to hand out muffin samples. I have tried a ham sandwich there, very delish, spice bar and muffins. They do a deal for ?2.50 for coffee and a muffin. I recommend their rosemary bread.

"Sourdough bread". First, a slightly sour flavour; second, a coarse, elastic texture; third, a greyish hue. Not at all what the Blackbird Bakery are selling under that name. Their version (white, fine crumb; no lactic- / acetic-acid tang) is much closer to a pain de mie. Oh, it's all right; if you want a sourdough bread, however, you'll have to go elsewhere.


Note to Blackbird Bakery: Change your recipe, or change your labelling.

I like their rosemary bread, but that is the only one. I tried a baguette and was surprised to find it was quite sweet. It also had weird little black seeds sprinkled about inside. The texture was quite mealy. I took it back to the shop to query it and was told that it was normal by a member of staff. I really like the Bakery at first, but find their muffins are very hit or miss. Sometimes burnt and dry, other times not. I also bought a very nice piece of tortilla one day and then went back a week later for another. This time was completely different - quite revolting, burnt and dry. I have informed them in writing, but never heard anything back. Not great customer relations.
I've just moved into the area and was looking for somewhere to get a birthday cake for a friend. They were really helpful and even accomodated my request for a vegan cake! I pop in every morning now for my daily coffee and cake fix and couldn't rate it highly enough, the staff are all really friendly and helpful and I am particularly obsessed by the carrot cake!
I popped in the morning when the train I was going to get towards Tulse Hill was cancelled - leaving me with about a 25 minute wait. So I had a really nice hot coffee and lovely big fluffy crossaint and relaxed while sitting at the breakfast bar for about 20 minutes. So much nicer than hanging round the station feeling cross about the train cancellation...grrrrr...!

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
