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.

    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
