My boyfriend and I had a very positive experience here: the young woman who served us was lovely, the tuna melt sandwich was delicious and the gluten-free brownie too. The place has a really nice atmosphere and we were surprise by the bad reviews

Very nice café under the arches of the train tracks. It has a nice terrace in the front and an airy and sizable interior. The prices are a bit high but their iced flat white was quite nice and the pastrami sandwich was excellent (lots of cheese and crunchy gherkins within two loaves of toasted and crunchy sourdough).

Such a cute space. Especially good for getting work / study done in the summer with plenty of outdoor space that is shaded but bright

Almost avoided due to the rating but decided to try anyway, friendly staff and great coffee. Ham and cheese croissant was a bit cold in the middle, but otherwise good. Came back a few times. Would recommend!

Nice teas, coffees and baked goods + you can buy a loaf of sourdough. There’s some seating outside too which is nice when the weather warm enough. This place tends to be busy on weekends when there is a bit of wait for your coffee.

Great little bolt hole next to Peckham Rye station. Serves great coffee, snacks and I am sure food later in the day. Also has music on weekends and very eclectic, relaxed design.

I was DJ here for two lovely ladies' joint birthday party. The staff were friendly and welcoming as ever. The place was cleaned before the venue became a party space and I enjoyed the decor too! I recommend this venue to anyone who wants to experience the arch and who likes minimal, clear spaces with lots of gorgeous plants and flowers. It didnt disappoint. Thanks again to the team and party hosts 😊

You need to try the salted caramel hot chocolate is sooo good. I really liked this place, it’s cozy, and the pastries are tasty.

The food is amazing and they only have two people working so it’s quite fast for that and the atmosphere is brilliant so altogether it’s a five star.

Best cafe in Peckham by far. Lovely sandwiches and spinach rolls - so scrumptious. Lovely outdoor area. Great to sit in when warmer. Coffee generally fine but could be much better. 5 out of 5 nevertheless for vibes.
