For the record you don't get preached at in any way whatsoever at the "Bread of Life" cafe. It is cheap and cheerful, spacious and accessible: sells coffee in cafetieres and excellent, basic hot meals. It does not open at weekends though IIRC

Rare for ED, Bread of Life cafe also have cards on the tables asking parents with children to be responsible for their offspring's behaviour creating a conducive atmosphere for ALL. And this is in a place where they have high-chairs, toys and a breast-feeding cafe. Goes to show - it IS possible to be child friendly without having rug rats run riot messing up everyone else's day!

Love the premise of this comment. A little too out the way from what, exactly?


How is that location out the way? There's plenty of people using Dulwich Library and the park all the time, plus loads of people to and fro-ing from Barry Road to Dulwich Village. It's quite bustling and, as other people have said, there's hardly any competition.


I live just around the corner and go quite often for a coffee before I head to work at the library. I hope they continue to do well.


We deserve better shops on both sides of the road along this strip - I just wish they'd finish the units along where the car parts place used to be. Looks such a mess, on both the main road and around the corner at the site entrance at the top end of Landells - and it's taking sooo long.

Was in there this morning for coffee on the way to work, asked to pay by card but as there was a min of ?5 and the bank

machine next door wasn't working the kind lady just told me to pay the next time I was in.


Don't think you'd get that in Starbucks!


Rock on the indie traders..

I did a spot of Paulie-from-Sopranos-drinking-coffee-outside-the-caf? last week and confirm the staff are lovely, the coffee is spot on and the croissant I had was best I've had anywhere for a long time


Unexpected rear garden as well - tiny, but better than nowt

ciabatta, coffee, canolli. All top notch. Feeling remarkably like I should now be off to see tony-the-blade (marco's boy, works with paulie) or similar


(although the yummy having a soy latte and 3 kids eating pom-bears didn't feature quite as prominently in Goodfellas)

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
