Dovedales Bakery, in Southwark

Wonderful service. Perfect work atmosphere. The quiet rustle of trains above my head was the wind beneath my wings as I trekked through the working day. Cheeky wine at lunch (don’t tell the boss!) had my buzzing. The friendly staff behind the counter had me feeling welcome and seen - they complimented my wolf cut! Good bit of banter that. Just off a tangent from the high street is a lovely location. Not too busy but enough wandering souls and stories to reinforce the sense of community. Sometimes whenlife quietens down i’m reminded of the lonely nights i endured when my brother ran away with my husband back to Panama. So that’s a bonus! Overall, great time would recommend and will be returning. P.s. tuna melt was a bit dense laid down a brick, would personally give it 3-5 working days.

We had never been to Peckham before and were drawn to the attractive looking café under the railway arches. We stood at the counter in front of the three members of staff who were chatting amongst themselves. The cafe was not busy and we were the only ones at the counter. Despite trying to attract their attention many times, they ignored us completely till we raised our voices. Then reluctantly one member of staff finally made eye contact and served us. I would avoid this place like the plague due to terrible untrained staff and in addition the tea and cakes were seriously over priced. We were left with a bad taste in our mouths and very disturbed by our experience and the level of appalling customer service.

Pleasant time sitting outside. Easy going friendly atmosphere. Food nice. £18 for two cans of hells lager and two croissants. Interesting spot. A row of railway archway premises. East to West in Blenheim Grove - Brick craft brewery taproom, Rye lanes tattooing and then Dovedales, followed by about 8 MOT centres. Also close to a cluster of Afro Hair salons. Vaguely jarring juxtaposition but the overall air is benevolent and calm. Good spot to relax. Don’t forget the wine too.
