Try Petitou in Peckham Rye, 63 Choumert Road. Great coffee and fab pastries, cakes etc.....yum I think unfortunately coffee is a 'new' thing in the UK, having lived here for 8 years, its definately got better, but there is still a long way to go. I can never understand how people can get it so wrong - there are only 3 ingrediants! Often it tastes crap because the milk or the coffee are burnt, or there isnt enough coffee in the drip bit (sorry pregnant brain cant remember what its called)

It tends to depend on which member of staff is on coffee duty, how busy/awake they are and how clean the machines happen to be that hour.


The place you are talking about is probably Green and Blue, and I have had great coffee there. I have also had very bad coffee there. The same could be said for any of the places on the Lane - from the EDT to the Horniman. That said, I never had worse than a mediocre cup in Liquorish, the Chandelier, Blue Mountian or the Thai cafe opposite the Horniman.

Overall cafe experience and value for money I would say Cafe 2050.


In terms of Coffee, I think Blue Mountain does a rather good job, I normally drink espresso macchiato so have not tried that many lattes/cappuccinos in ED.


Although this week I tried a ?flat white? from the retro silver van on North Cross Road mentioned above and it was really good. (tu) Having said that, I do not think that it is very environmentally friendly to use a petrol/diesel fuelled generator to power the coffee machine. (td)

I could murder a coffee right now. I feel like shit. I have a hangover from hell and I haven't slept in two days and I've had to come into work this morning after a night of serious debauchery and no sleep. Having said that I take Asset's approach to coffee making and the best is made at home. Always works best for me, though I'd quite like to go to Jamaica like EDOdie to have one, just as long as someone else is paying, I'll buy the coffee and someone else can pay the plane fare.

Naples! Once you've tried the coffee there anything outside the city limits tastes unacceptable.

However, if anyone can tell me of a source of drinkable espresso in E. Dulwich or Camberwell I'd be very grateful.

I recently had the worst cappucino I've had in a long time at Green and Blue, so no, not 'the best coffee on Lordship Lane' as claimed.


For me, bizarrely, the best cappucino in the local area can be had in the Palmerston,its always a good flavoursome strength, though keep meaning to find what brand it is, quality of foam is variable depending upon who makes it.

    • That recycling bin isn't there any more unless I have missed it? That one is for good condition items. I just discovered that Runners Need and Cotswold Outdoor have a shoe recycling scheme. Haven't dropped mine in yet but next time I am near one will check it out.
    • Would have thought Oru/ Trinco would be noisy… certainly is at mid afternoon. Do let us know when you have been what is was like and where you finally settled on.sure we are all interested  as your requirements are quite specific and good to know or have reviews on places, especially from you with different needs and requirements. Actually, given the numbers involved and as you say a special occasion, assuming £20/30  head, you really should have a chat with Suzanne. Maybe your kids could chip in a bit more as they are working.. You could always provide a cake yourself for after. Her food is special and well cooked.. know what you are getting..!    Italian place is also good as well and would cater for your needs except of  course the toilet aspect which is a steep climb down stairs… even I struggle. Yes, , know you are not a fan of Vietnamese place after tea incident… Owner now does all the cooking and so nice and accommodating but you won’t go there.. Wish she got more support… had a bereavement recently…       
    • Depends on your definition of idiot.  I use the term to describe someone of low intellectual capacity.  But understand that this is now not used as seen to be offensive. In that respect he makes decisions that are good for him, and his close followers.  Whether they are in the interests of the US that is open to debate (in the same way that history will debate all major leaders eg was Thatcher/Reagan good for the UK/US). On line definitions: An idiot is most commonly a term for a stupid, foolish, or senseless person, often used as an insult or to express frustration with someone's silly behavior, but historically it was a clinical term for profound intellectual disability, which is now considered offensive and obsolete. The word comes from Greek roots meaning a "private person" or layman, evolving to signify ignorance and lack of skill before becoming a derogatory label for low mental capacity.  Modern Usage Self-deprecation: Used to describe one's own silly mistakes ("I felt like an idiot when I tripped").  Insult/Exclamation: A very foolish person or someone acting stupidly ("Don't be such an idiot!").  Historical/Obsolete Meaning Medical Classification: Once a technical term for someone with extreme intellectual disability (IQ below 25), a usage now rejected as offensive.  Origin Greek (idiōtēs😞 A private citizen, layman, or someone lacking professional knowledge. Latin (idiota😞 An uneducated or ignorant person.  The notable recent  'idiot' was Johnson who of course played the fool (lovable rogue) but that served him well So ultimately not a good word as it can be used in many ways. Ignorant is another good example - can be stupid, unaware, or simply rude.
