Eltham Park South Cafe in Greenwich

Very convenient location for a break on our walk from Oxleas Woods to Sidcup station. Attractively situated too - green space, kids' play area, plenty of trees of all ages, plenty of inside and outside seating. Only stopped for hot drinks or ice cream - but the menu looked amazing. Love these independent park cafes!

I gave up waiting on Bank Holiday Monday. Just one man ahead of me in the queue but his order of two icecream tubs and a cone took over 10 mins to produce from the back kitchen. Multiple checking of order and no idea what was going on in the back. It was a lovely afternoon and should have been a great trading day. Second member of staff did not seem interested in the customers and the growing queue.

Nice small cafe in the middle of the park with some on the go food looks very nice

Great people great food great location

Great place to take kids and a dog!

Great place for coffee , when you've had a long day in the park with the grandkids.

Every time I come it's always do nice. Being a regular they remember your order and the dogs muffin. Great every time

Best pizza I’ve ever had in England. Honestly 10/10 a true hidden gem.

£4.50 for a can of diet coke and a lemon lime drink. Overpriced. He also didn't tell me the price until the very end, knowing how overpriced it is.

Delicious sausage rolls at the cafe this morning, the rolls were slightly crispy but not hard and the sausages well cooked. The latte was quite strong, not too milky like some places.

Best coffee shop in the area, fresh air while enjoying it. 😎

We were very impressed with the service and the quality of food when we stopped here while out for a bike ride. The kids were very impressed with the chunky chips. I really enjoyed the oat milk cappuccino. The two guys working inside were patient and happy to advise on the best options. Thank you.

Has this changed hands? Didn’t seem to match with previous reviews. Arrived at the end of the queue at 3pm on a Saturday to find the only food on offer seemed to be an unappetising croissant or an ice cream. Might be ok for a tea or coffee but we left.

Very nice and this cafe is not too busy

Pick up the litter! Prices you charge you’d expect a clear seating area

Dingy and dark inside, couldn't see person behind glass barrier. Didn't have anything I ordered, ther £3.50 fruit juices are a joke.... took forever to order and get what we ordered on a weekdag. I'd say unless you just want tea, don't bother. A shame as it COULD be good.

Expensive ice lollys. £2.50 for a callipo that normally sells for £1.20 in most corner shops.

Fantastic little cafe price is good and the staff are brilliant always look forward to having a cappuccino there on Monday and Tuesdays afternoons

Best Latte in the area. Staff are always friendly.

We Had a cheese burger,well cooked and very tasty .

Great place to end our cycle ride

First flare of summer and hardly any ice lollies available...I guess we should expect it really .what with unpredictable weather and all the other problems ...

Excellent service and top notch food for a good price, all socially distanced and sanitised too

Good cafe nice drinks but could offer vegetarian options.

Fantastic Cafe with friendly staff. Had a couple of bacon sandwiches with a tea. Great quality at a very reasonable price. Drop by as I couldn’t recommend more 👍🏻

A lovely cafe with a fab owner! Great selection of ice creams for the kids. Fantastic all year round with a selection of food and drinks that you would expect from a local park cafe, some previous reviews seems a bit harsh to me as this is not a 5 star restaurant, yes can get busy at peak times and in summer but this should be expected and any concerns staff are always happy to accommodate. The indoor section of this cafe is a great touch when the weather gets cold so definitely worth a visit :)

A nice cup of tea and a lovely jam scone sitting in the Park on a beautiful autumn afternoon. Nice friendly people served us and the bill was a lot less than expected. A good choice.

Lovely park. Ideal for picnics, kids and popular with dog walkers.

I love this Cafe the people are so friendly and helpful coffee/food is lovely. its brilliant where you can go for early morning coffee and pastry 8 am before work. Well done !

Good service. Good team. Good food.

Basic food, not a pleasure to eat at all, although the setting is lovely. Staff also despondent and obviously not got their heart in it. If possible bring your own food to the park, the drinks are fine though. Table tops are gross with drink and food, there's no knowing if they are cleaned daily or accrue animal visits for leftovers during the night.

Nice cafe. Sometimes it can take a while to queue up but good coffee is worth the wait.

Really nice place, nice and clean

Not the greatest place to eat. Such a long time to wait with incorrect or incomplete orders. My advice is just order tea and get out, very hard for people to mess up pouring boiling water on a teabag.

This is just ridiculous. Please give this place to someone with an idea how to run the cafe. They are taking orders one at the time and preparing food and drinks for each customer. How about ask people in the q if they will have drinks, kids going mental for ice creams etc… could be sorted easily. Plus, once you order you wait ridiculously long for portion of chips, they getting orders wrong and people really frustrated complaining about waiting 30-40 min - it’s just silly. Amazing potential and beautiful place though, great for dog lovers. Such a shame.

Great service and staff are very friendly, will definitely be purchasing from there again, the negative reviews are just from angry Karen's lol

Visited the local park with my daughter and ended up going to this lovely Café. Really good food and the staff are lovely. Definitely recommend and will be returning.

Great service from the team at Eltham Park Cafe. Also very good value for money and would highly recommend this place for anyone who’s in the area.

Bad service and bad food the drinks

Great cafe. Friendly polite staff Good selection of food. Nice coffee Pet friendly. Lovely “doggy cakes” Would not hesitate to recommend this cafe

Amazing food!! Very good customer service and would definitely recommend !!👏🏼

Eltham park is lovely and spacious thr little coffee shop is very good and priced well cater for all including your pets with doggy doughnuts or sausages, staff polite and helpful. 🥰.

Such a shame as this used to be a great little cafe in a great spot. Not sure if it's under new management? expectation Vs reality on this Salted Caramel Frappe. I think it speaks for itself. *Edit in response* Glad it's still in the same hands and I have also felt the driver shortage at work. But you can't use that to excuse shoddy service. I ordered, paid, was asked if I wanted cream? Then this comes out and the guy says "sorry we are out of the ingredients". If he said that at the start, I wouldn't have ordered it and this review wouldn't be here. As a regular to EPS if I do come back, I'll make a point not to pay till my order is in hand.

Very nice coffee for a quick catch up break whilst my neice used the swings

Lovely little cafe, very clean and staff are so friendly, great service.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! I bought 3 of those twirly ice creams for my crew as it was a blinking hot day! Nice little Cafe but seemed to be only 3 sun umberellas up for what looked like around 8 to 10 picnic tables 🤔 if you ask me thats not nearly enough, do punters have to book/hire a sun brolly on a blazing hot day??

Always a great place to stop for refreshments.Today a very tasty burger and a coffee fortified me to continue my walk through the park and woods.

Nice choice of food and drinks at reasonable prices

Eltham park south is an amazing café with with beautiful surroundings has a wide selection of food . Staff are very helpful and friendly.best coffee around would highly recommend taking a visit!

Very good food, excellent coffee and friendly staff. Definitely a good place to spend time with family and friends. Highly recommend it

Fabulous spot for an ice cream or coffee in the park. I had a sausage and bacon baguette which was the best I've had in years.

This has become a great place for refreshment. Decent food, hot and cold drinks. Sit out on the benches, or a nice indoor space. A good stop off for the many dog walkers. Or a nice waiting location while you wait for the tennis lessons to finish

The greatest southern park in eltham

More tables and chairs now available.

First time I have visited this park today also went to the cafe was greeted with friendly service and the food was lovleh will definitely be going back

Great café with a wide selection of food and beverages. Staff are always helpful and friendly. And overall a nice café to visit with good coffee too!

Our Crafty Wizards love our local park cafe. We currently have an Easter Number hunt for children and families. We are going away 350 Cadburys Creme Eggs at Eltham Park South Cafe. The cafe has a range of drinks, ice cremes, sandwiches and more. Enjoy Eltham Park South field, tennis courts, table tennis and children's play park.

We just had drinks but a nice flavoured hot chocolate was just what we needed as it was cold today.

It's nice small cafe in the middle of the park. As it's the only option, you don't have much choice and have to chose from their menu. The quality of coffee and hot chocolate wasn't as great but not too bad too.

Cafe was great on a beautiful day and who doesn't relish a well prepared bacon sandwich? Custom was brisk and service well organised given covid restrictions.qà

Just what the doctor ordered walk in the park . Cafe in the park bought a coffee and a sausage for my dog . Friendly service also they all healthy shakes and cooked foods would recommend

Bought a croissant this morning for my little boy, it was burnt on the top so I asked for a different one which was met with some resistance by the lady on the till. She agreed and came back with the same Croissant but has picked off the top layer. I never wrote reviews but was quite shocked by this. Surely it’s no skin off her nose just to replace with a pastry that isn’t burnt.

The best bacon sandwich ever, on decent bread too. Plus a wonderful cup of tea to go with it, at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend

It's hard for the woman at the counter, taking orders and preparing everything. Because they're understaffed the queue is very slow.

Nice friend ly staff and good dog sausages. Could do with more veggie/vegan options but I did enjoy my vegan Magnum.

My son enjoyed the burger & chips. Coffee is good too.

Great coffee, friendly staff and the my canine friend is addicted to the dog muffins.

Great cafe very friendly do a lovely dog muffin, my dog loves them🐕👍

best bacon roll /sandwiches around !!! friendly service good coffee

Do a dance class in there plenty of room to move about

Muddy but great dog get together!

Great for a coffee while walking the dog

Lovely little cafe with lots of outdoor seating. Swing park, tennis courts and public toilets close by.

Fantastic chips yet again sadly no cheese to put on them today

Needs better management. Staff is not friendly, toilets are always disgusting, opening hours is a bit ridiculous for summer time. It has nice coffee though (reason why is not 1 star).

Friendly people and dogs and a very nice cafe serving good food.

Nice park cafe, could do with some sheltered space

Great food and drinks lovely staff . Been feeding us while we work next door

Café encantador Buena comida y buen personal  En una excelente ubicación atrae a familias, paseadores de perros, paseantes, corredores y niños. Bueno, bien de precio y saludable.

After spending sometime in the play park my granddaughter suggested an ice cream. Service was slow and the lollies were rather expensive. We sat at the tables but there were too many unleashed dogs wandering around for my liking.

Nice Open area some bits wooded. Dog walking. Used by schools and clubs for football training and sports day. Has cafe and tables for snacks and drinks dog friendly. Also fenced off tennis courts with nets. Free car park. Also street parking restriced times 11.00am to 12.30pm. Nice childrens swing park.

Quite slow service whilst there is a selection items I bought lollies for the grand children that were nice but expensive.

Little take away cafe in the park. Snacks and drinks.

Always happy staff and a lovely little café

We took our dog for walk on Sunday and stopped for a bacon and sausage roll...10 out of 10! That's rare

I come to this park which isn't local to me to walk my dog because of the cafe . Good coffee, great food great service .

We go here three or four times a week when walking the dog and it's a great place - decent coffee, great sausage sandwich and even bacon sandwiches that aren't barely cooked (like most cafes seem to serve up!) Would definitely recommend and the prices are good, too. It's not a destination place or somewhere to go for a meal out, but it's perfect if you're in the park or passing by

I really like this cafe and do use it when we go to the park to walk our dog. The prices are about the right level but they don't have any snacks which is a bit strange given its a small cafe. No chocolate bars? It has been like this for weeks and weeks now. Last time just a small packet of 2 biscuits but this time nothing! There is crisps if you want them. The most annoying thing is the horrible sound of the really horrible music that is far too loud and just sounds so awful. Please turn it off as I will not use the cafe again if its on as it is inappropriate.

Friendly service from Des and his staff, with a good menu choice at reasonable prices. A vibrant and friendly atmosphere frequented by families, walkers and dog walkers alike.

Good food, great coffee and the staff really care - it shows it's a family-owned cafe. Ideal for dog walkers and no rip-off prices!

A great location in the park. Seems overpriced and the young person serving lacked manners. No thank you and when he dropped my change on floor no apologies. Just left me to pick it up.

Called in for morning Brunch Sausage egg bacon hash browns and a latte . Absolute winner good size portions and cooked to perfection by Colin and Des . I would have taken a photo but it didn't hang around long 😁

Reasonable prices. Great snacks and drinks Good polite staff. Well done. They have really improved on the service being provided by the previous owners.

Great little cafe situated in the park. I am so pleased to see a cafe still here. Please use or we Will lose it. Tea, coffee a bite to eat? Very good.

Love the lattes here and a very friendly welcoming service! Very reasonably priced too! Will definitely be back!

Lovely park and lovely cafe. Des who runs the cafe is friendly, helpful and provides good food and drinks. Worth a visit

Regularmente visitamos este café con nuestros perros. El personal es muy amable y el servicio es fantástico. La comida es de buena calidad y el café es delicioso. Nos encanta visitar este parque y lo que lo hace tan especial es la cafetería encantadora. Podemos sentar con perros y disfrutar de una bebida caliente y un snack bar. Incluso venden sobrado magdalenas

A great cafe but with a limited variety of choice. Good for coffee but you feel uncomfortable if you do not like dogs, they roam where you sit.
