New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[fishbiscuits]

We seem to have two new veggie (sorry, "plant based") restaurants almost next door to each other in Peckham Rye. "Omni" at the old "2 girls" site, and "En Root" at the old "One and All" site.

And on the same stretch, at the old Pedlar site, "Good Neighbour". Which seems kind of similar to its predecessor.

Does anyone know what happened to Fabulous Ice Fires? Has it completely closed down now (sorry if this happened ages ago)? I used to go after visiting the leisure centre, but with covid that whole routine changed....

It was open last week. What makes you think it's closed?

Some of the best ice cream around. In fact, I can't think of anywhere better.

It's still there - we bought ice creams there last weekend - I had wild cherry and limoncello sorbets.

[Peckhampam]

Still there and still as good ice cream as you can get in this country

[cordsm]

Oh that's great news - I'll wander down that way for a visit. I drove past it several times in the middle of the day & it was always closed, which is why I thought it might have shut down.

Opens from midday - something I discovered when I popped down to Evans Cycles on a hot day last week and thinking that an ice cream on the green would be lovely while I was out and about. Sadly, it was only 10.30am...

The former CoOp (then something else) chemist's on L Lane, near to A J Farmer's, is to be a painter/decorator merchant, according to the poster in the window. Good to see a big retail space being made use of again.

Thats good news re the old chemists - will be great to have something that generates footfall in that section otherwise its a bit empty or estate agents.

They're good.

The new greengrocer's near to Franklin's had lots of produce on show outside yesterday, but not sure if it is yet open.

[Siduhe]

It?s open now. Just walked past. Looks like a great selection. No idea on prices.

[mancity68]

Highly recommend the cocktails in the evening at Melange. High end bar quality liquor and flavours at very reasonable prices.

That?s good, it?s been closed for a while now - glad to see it coming back to life

Couple of places near East Dulwich station that opened quite recently. They need our support :)

- Ciao at grove cafe: opened a few months ago as an Italian cafe/restaurant. The place doesn?t look very different to previous cafe but it?s changed hands recently. The food is excellent and they?ve started doing evening meals too. Fresh pasta, homemade pizza, great produce, lovely owners. Fabio and Lewis are brilliant people.

- Marvellous Greens and Beans: excellent produce, also lovely owners and they deliver fruit/veg boxes too.

Redemption Coffee has opened at 29 Dulwich Village. It looks very clean and nice, with two big benches and tables outside. I haven't been in to actually drink the coffee or eat the pastries yet!

[Sally Eva]

Someone asked about El Vermut. It opened just before the pandemic closed everything. The people are lovely, they seem to have kept going ongood cheese , bread and wine.I would encourage anyone to drop in and see for themselves.

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

It's not a shop and it's not Dulwich or Peckham but...the kids playpark in Brockwell Park now has a little kiosk in it. It's serving coffees, teas, juice etc and the food is thankfully of the snack bar variety (bacon rolls, egg and chips etc for ?3-6) rather the Colicci Dulwich Park offering (hummus and guacamole skewer, ?13.50).

[Earl Aelfheah]

There?s also a new cafe by the entrance to Belair Park

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

Yes, that's right! It's on the South Circular next to the tennis courts, at the foot of the rail bridge. It actually looks like a really nice space- they've done wonders with the setting.
