Isn't this basically the same as Louisa's position on burgers?


Krispy Kreme being the equivalent of Burger King or whatever.

I walk past all the time. Bought a coffee on their opening day, attempted to make conversation (at that point they didn't have the fruit and veg, so I was asking about it) but got nothing back other than abrupt one word answers.


Went in again for a juice, was made using nice ingredients, but nothing in it was chilled, so it was a bit unpleasant as it was a hot day and the juice was warm.


Not deterred, I went in again a month or so ago for a smoothie. Tasteless and disappointing, and expensive. Once again, pretty unfriendly service.


It's a shame, the location is great for grabbing a drink on the way to/from the park, but a combination of high prices and an unwelcoming vibe have put me off.

I have to say I really disagree with the above post - I love this shop. Really lovely veg (if a little ripe) and good quality sauces, bottled goods - better price than same things on lordship lane. I don't know who Pickle has spoken to - I've always had great service.

I have found they've always been friendly and I wanted to support this shop too, but I found the veg to be not that impressive and the coffee to be.. not good. I would really get behind them if they could manage a good coffee. Aren't there barista specialists who you can hire to come in and figure out the coffee for you? I also bought the bread and haven't been in lately so didn't know they had stopped. Also it's very dark at the back of the shop, maybe some better lighting back there and the produce needs to be fresh and different/original for me to pay those prices. Hopefully they can get it off the ground!
It needs to be more appealing. I walk by nearly everyday but don't really know what they sell (except smoothies). It's a really big space & could be lovely. There's a lot of foot traffic around that area - better signage/decor & advertising might help.

I agree - if I was setting up a new business (or actually running an existing one), this is the sort of feedback I'd welcome. Once I'd poured myself a stiff drink...! ;)

Well I popped in earlier and had a 'Piermont Green' juice (apple/spinach/cucumber) which was freshly made and very tasty, albeit not exactly cheap. Had a good chat with the guy working there who is new I believe. Some Bach was playing which gave it a classy vibe, but as a classical musician I might be biased! Fruit & veg all looked really good to me. It seems to be a work in progress. I had some time to kill but there was nowhere to sit. Definitely scope and space for a couple of tables and chairs which they are considering I think. Part greengrocer, part deli, part juice & coffee bar. Maybe it has an identity problem at the moment but there are good ideas being tried out and it's a great spot so I wish them all the best.

    • Latest news from the sunlit uplands, on the same day the UK economy 'unexpectedly' shrank 0.1%... As an aside, the cognitive dissonance shown by large parts of the UK electorate over Brexit is quite a thing to behold. I don't think it's controversial to say that Brexit is now considered by a large % of the population to have failed, with the % who see it as a success in single figures. Yet, initial polling for the upcoming Runcorn by-election shows Reform winning what is a relatively safe Labour seat. Now I get protest votes and all that, but Reform were literally the Brexit Party before the rebrand. If there's such a large consensus that Brexit failed, why would so many even consider voting for a party that actively helped deliver Brexit and all the known economic damage it would cause? And that's before you even get to the fantasy economics it presented at the last General Election. Labour haven't helped themselves either, by pursuing a nonsensical 'We can make Brexit work' approach, they have in effect made themselves impotent when it comes to attacking Reform and what they stand for...
    • Recommend Dosa n Chutney in Tooting and Rikshaw in Gypsy Hill for dosas.  The latter a few mins away by train from East Dulwich station.  Karnataka has great food but rather a long way to go plus all those carbon air miles.  Reminds me of some American students in London who would take it in turn to fly back to Chicago or somewhere like that to bring pizzas back.   https://dosanchutney.uk/ https://rikshawrestaurant.com/ My word, free reviews without having to sign up and pay for my food blog.  Crispy Dosa is the chain, not that local though.
    • Maybe they would just leave them turned. In a world gone suddenly mad, it makes many individuals feel better to think they have made some protest, however small, even if they know that it makes no difference at all in the great scheme of things. Surely that's better than just blind (sorry I can't think of a better word) acceptance  of  whatever dreadful things are going on, or turning a blind (sorry again) eye. History shows us where that has led in the past. And in the case of the Tesla sellers and non purchasers, it has actually significantly affected things, albeit not the political things which matter.
