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.

    • We like Radha Krishna Bavan, a South Indian restaurant near Tooting Broadway station, but sadly they don't deliver. They have really good lunch deals and the food has been excellent without fail so far, plus too much to eat (doggy bags willingly provided by the lovely staff!) Probably wouldn't make a special journey to go there, but go there quite often for lunch when visiting my niece, who lives in Tooting. Can't remember if they do dosas, though 
    • Yep,  the EU would definitely want cast-iron certainties that there was no chance of Brexit 2.0 before allowing the UK to rejoin. Best we can hope for in the short to medium term  is the UK rejoins the single market. That would at least make Brexit work *better* than it currently does.  But we live in a very volatile world and a lot can happen quickly, who'd thought we be rationally talking about the possibility of  a European Army outside the context of Brexit and its associated hysterics...
    • What I couldn't understand was on the day H&B  opened (or at least the Saturday after it) they had two people standing outside with trays of something round their necks, as if they were selling ice cream at the interval in a 1950s cinema. These things appeared to be free samples of something (can't remember what. Magnesium tablets? From the labels on the little jars?)  There was nothing to say they were free, nothing to say what they might be useful for, and no apparent attempt to engage passers by, or even to hand them out to passers by.  What was the point?! It had the opposite effect on me, as they looked so bored and fed up  We did have a wander round the shop, but the only thing they had which I might have bought ( a particular kind of milled seed which Health Matters don't stock)   I can get cheaper in Waitrose !!! ETA: I only buy their nuts when they are on offer (and freeze them) 🤣
    • If you are referring to me you don't have to pay to read my reviews and I'm not even sure if you have to sign up. If that feels too sinister you can just click on the links as far as I know, but the difference is if you sign up you receive the - free - reviews by email whenever they appear. Quite a useful - free - service I think. I'm not going to spam the EDF every time I run a review, but here's a link to the site as I've run a few new reviews in the last few weeks. https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/
