Crespidia in Bromley

Came after parkrun because of the reviews and wasn't disappointed. What a charming little cafe. Excellent bacon & poached eggs on sourdough and flat white was just what I needed.

I so much wanted this to be a positive review after a good experience but I'm afraid this isn't it. Came here with a friend after reading so many positive reviews, but we were both really disappointed. The coffee wasn't at all pleasant. Weak, milky and had nothing going for it. We had cake and pastry and neither were tasty. Both were dry, almost stale and didn't come close to what we would have expected. Maybe my standards are too high, but after having experienced cafe culture across Europe this was a real let down. I was hoping this would be my go to place for the future, but that isn't going to happen.

One of my better decisions - came here Saturday lunchtime while my son was playing hockey at the nearby Crystal Palace sports centre. Had a lovely French toast and coffee, enjoying the calm and friendly service. Looking forward to more nearby hockey fixtures - plan to sample everything on the menu!

Crystal Palace gem. Amazing cake made for a family birthday. Fabulous coffee, cakes, sandwiches, breakfast, and cool background music!

I’m so happy this is one of my local coffee shops - the coffee and pastries are fabulous. I highly recommend visiting!

My best kept secret that I must share!! Beautiful décor & atmosphere, chic and welcoming, unconventional and original in thought, I always feel at home here, the food & drink is beautifully made & presented. Highly recommended

I love this little place near the station. Best coffee on the hill. Recently opened their sister shop further down Anerley road. Rustic and kitch interiors. Always friendly with a range of quality coffee and delicious food and beautiful home made cakes. Highly recommended!

We came back for a SECOND breakfast at this lovely, friendly cafe! Just as good the second time - good coffee, freshly squeezed juice and beautiful, delicious and healthy dishes.

What a wonderful little find, just across the park from the caravan park where we’ve parked our camper for the night. I’m always going to love a cafe that has its own dog welcomer! Gluten free coconut yoghurt bowl, freshly squeezed orange juice and a lovely coffee - perfect breakfast. We’ll be back.

Lovely atmosphere, great coffee and matcha. Delicious cakes, and equally delicious sandwiches. Dog friendly. My fave spot in Crystal Palace. x

£6.80 for a hot chocolate and cake. It’s not a competitive price against other Crystal Palace coffee shops and some of them are on the high side. You can only charge this price if hot chocolate is actually melted chocolate as part of the recipe somehow otherwise not of value. Good ambience, layout of the place

Wonderful, inventive bakery and relaxed coffee space on Anerley Road. I’ve been here I don’t know how many times, just to get away from it all for an hour. They do very good coffee, great salads and light lunches, but the main draw for me are the incredible cakes and pastries they make fresh. There is always something different on display, with some firm favourites on repeat - like chocolate tarts and caneles - that go down so well with a macchiato or just a cup of tea. Also, their resident boxer dog is an absolute sweetheart who will trudge up to you for a stroke before going back to her bed and observing the customers. Will be coming back many, many times

I thought this spot was absolutely charming. Excellent menu - lovely eggs benedict! Delicious cakes too. It's directly opposite Crystal Palace railway station and on several bus routes. Bravo!

It took us a while to check out this place but since we did a few months ago, we have become regulars. The interior is very welcoming and if you enjoy feasting your eyes on lots of little curiosities like plants, artwork, vintage cups and saucers then you'll enjoy this place. There's some gorgeous vintage clothing as well, reasonably priced too. It has a lovely atmosphere which is created by the owners who are welcoming and engaging. There are many homemade cakes and pastries for me to have but those I have tried I enjoy and keep going back for. If you appreciate a good sausage roll you'll find this to be the best in the area! Do I spend too much of my money in this cafe? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Besides, you can always walk off a few pounds across the road in the park, when you eventually get around to leaving.

This is the best cafe in the area. Great food and coffee including wonderful home made cakes! Nice selection of high quality plants and flowers too. The service is extremely friendly but also clean, organised and efficient. The atmosphere is always calm and relaxing with a pleasant artistic vibe. It’s so good!

Pretty french vintage styled cafe. Fantastic coffee (best in Crystal Palace) and amazing gluten free cakes. Perfect for catching up with friends or working from for a few hours. Best brunches too! Only 1 minute walk from the station and wonderful friendly owners.

A wonderful independent, full of delicious coffee, decadent sweet treats (the Rose Lemon and Raspberry cake is incredible) and pretty vintage surroundings, what more could you ask for?

One of the best Coffee shop in London and the best one in area. Perfect service and amazing food and drinks.recomind to everyone who leaving or going to Crystal Palace station

A wonderful coffee shop on Anerley Hill serving excellent pastries, cakes and hot drinks. It also sells some lovely plants and gifts too. Wonderful and friendly owners.

As a non-coffee drinker, absolutely loved the huge tea selection. The cakes were delicious, very generous portions! Really relaxing interior, cosy on a rainy day

This is a great new addition to Anerley, it may not actually be that new as I've been away for a while, but I was delighted to find this coffee shop. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and includes a few different businesses under the...

It’s local, has character and is a quality place. Service good and friendly. Coffee very good and loved the cakes. What’s the problem? None - it deserves to compete alongside the other independents in the Crystal Palace triangle in terms of location.
