Lovely spot in Crystal Palace. Coffee is amazing, good selection of baked goods. Bread price is also decent. £4.30 for a huge loaf of bread (while more than Sainsburys) the bread more than compensates in quality, taste and freshness! Highly recommend a visit. Staff very friendly as well.
A wonderful little cafe in Crystal Palace. This was our first time here and definitely will not be our last. The cafe has an old-world charm with delightful little pieces that make up the decor. We ordered the Victoria Sponge, Banana and Dates cake, an Americano, and an iced chocolate. It’s rare that every item is exceptional, but this really was the case. The staff are friendly, polite, and very attentive to diners’ needs and requests. Great in the evenings when the coffee-and-cake yearnings set in.

I visited during a busy lunch rush on May 17th and the team of folk behind the counter were lovely, professional and working great as a team with good humour and charm.
When food prices have gone up across the board at all cafes, pubs etc, this human element is what sets one place apart from the next, so I hope they’re appreciated by head office, and the entitled segment of the ‘Triangle’ clientele who pop up in some of the reviews here.
I don’t know any of the staff there and this is a genuine review. Hospitality industry workers deserve more respect in UK culture. Treat workers with the same courtesy you’d like to be treated with. It’s weird that some adults don’t seem to think that applies when dealing with service staff.
Food offering wise, the cheese toasties here are delicious thanks to the crucial part of any sandwich - the bread - being good at Blackbird bakery outlets. The cakes are fairly pricey but similarly very good. I’d say the pastries (croissants etc) are the weaker part of the product range; whenever I’ve tried a croissant (from different branches) it’s not buttery inside with crisp flaky pastry around the top, but instead a bit dry and sad looking.🤓
