I like this cafe but unfortunately the extra charge for non dairy milk is a massive turn off for me and as such I won’t be returning for coffee. Coffee shop 1 min away that doesn’t charge more.

Nice little cafe, conveniently located opposite crofton park train station for those wanting a quick pit stop before a journey. A cute little garden, good customer service and they do a very nice iced latte. The bagels are kind of underwhelming and overpriced at £6.50 a pop, but other than that it's a decent cafe.

Walked in for breakfast - there were two girls behind the counter, I said “good morning” and got completely ignored, they didn’t even look at me. I sat down to have a look at the menu (which I had to go and grab) but then decided that such rude treatment from the staff doesn’t deserve my money so I got up and left. No one bothered to say bye or ask me why I was leaving without having anything to eat or drink. Simply appalling.

Rude and dismissive service. Took ages to make my coffee, then made the wrong one and I nearly missed my train which I had to run for, so I paid £3.80 for the pleasure of getting no coffee. Won’t be going back.

Good coffee and food but the staff can be quite surly. Asked for a tiny bit more milk in my oat milk latte as it looked super strong (already the most expensive coffee in the area at £3.80 - they charge extra for non-dairy milks and don't give a discount for bringing your own cup) and they reluctantly did so and told me 'we'll charge you accordingly next time'...that put me in my place!

Great place, with a tamed, yet comforting interior. I went there for brunch and had a delicious granola bowl whilst getting some work done. They play music, but it's at just the right volume that you can enjoy it if you like, but it won't disrupt any conversations. Their menu was a delight, simple and efficient. I didn't need a PhD to find what I wanted and the staff were friendly and welcoming. My server made short, but polite conversation when bringing my food and left just as quickly which didn't interrupt my work. Smiles all around! I would have tipped if they didn't take card only. I'll definitely be returning in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Couple of weeks ago, I had a lovely breakfast at Fred's in Brockley. I went in because I was in a hurry and needed a quick bite. I have to say it was a delightful experience and I was very impressed with the bread they served. It was what I call, proper and decent bread! well done.

Went to Fred’s to have a Sunday morning breakfast. We have been on previous occasions but quite some time ago. There were four of us and two of us had poached eggs - my husband specifically asked for them to be soft. They arrived (after a long wait) very very hard, all of them! They then served a couple sitting behind us and I heard the lady complain about her poached eggs also, saying they were hard boiled! Unfortunately we will not be going back, which is a shame as it used to be much better

Found the girl who served me to be quite rude. Asking customers to stand outside and wait for a coffee when the cafe is totally empty is so unnecessary, especially when the weather is bad/cold. Waiting inside the empty cafe wouldn’t have effected her at all. The barista was lovely but coffee was not good at all. Odd place.

I have gone to Fred’s ever since it first opened. It’s one of my local cafes and used to be pretty good. But no more. Not only has it turned into some kind of overpriced vegan virtue signalling outfit, their attitude towards people who are exempt from masks absolute stinks. I’m exempt. I used to get a coffee from Fred’s approximately once a week. It’s a small place so it’s not like they don’t recognise me. Yet every single time we go through the same charade. I ask for a coffee. They ask for my mask. I tell them that I’m exempt. Same as last week, the week before that and the 10 weeks before that. They tut at me and grudgingly say okay. Then they literally turf me out and make me wait outside while they make my takeaway coffee. Not only do they need to go on the government website and review the law on masks, they might look up anti-discrimination legislation while they’re at it. If you expect to be treated like a customer - not a leper - when patronising a hospitality business I suggest you spend your money elsewhere. I certainly will.

I've been twice now and it's been nice each time. I've only had a small sandwich, tea, coffee or fresh juice, but they've all been delicious and promptly made / bought over. There is a decent amount of space in here, especially in the back section and good place to work from for a couple of hours. My only bugbear is the scraping metal chairs, but I can be quite sensitive to noise. There was a rather loose power point here, which is a bit of a H&S concern with kids being bought in. I'm sure heavy handed people charging stuff doesn't help.

SLOW SERVICE FOR COFFEE TAKEAWAYS I used to come here quite a bit for brunch when it first opened and liked the food and the friendly service. But l’ve been a few times recently for takeaway coffee where I’ve given my order and asked if it’s ok that I wait outside (with a double buggy). My order has then taken a while to arrive and people who ordered after me get their coffees before me. I’ve then had to remind them of my order and I’ve had an apology each time but the fact this has happened the last few times I’ve been makes me think that I should go elsewhere for a quick takeaway coffee! Not sure if they have staffing issues or if it’s just my bad luck...

Disappointing experience after a good start. Really badly handled issue with some unwashed salad leaves (lumps of mud!). I made a very low key complaint and wasn't looking to make a fuss but they didn't even apologise or confirm that it wasn't some kind of dressing as I'd originally hoped. At least I saw that they were re-washing all the salad leaves as I left so presumably a one off...

Came in for a quick coffee on a walk and stayed for a while! We ordered some flat whites and a latte to enjoy on the back patio deck, and they were absolutely amazing! While sitting, we saw other patrons being served their brunch and had to ask the server for a menu, as the food all looked outstanding as well. The server was extremely informative and friendly, answering questions about the food as well as the history of Fred’s. The sandwiches tasted as good as they looked. I would highly recommend coming to Fred’s for the coffee, the food, the service, or all three at any time!!

Funkily decorated, friendly staff but food was just above better than average. Allpress Coffee was decidedly ordinary unfortunately (milk overheated, coffee a little bitter). Had a lovely space outside with a huge bear to greet you if you like that sort of thing!! It is a great environment to sit in for a little while and many were relaxing or working on their laptops. I was impressed they were vegetarian friendly on toasting sandwiches - unfortunately isn't a given! Perhaps they would well to switch beans suppliers to locals such as dark liquid or volcano or even standard square mile.

This Pub is under new ownership, and it’s certainly improved 10 fold! The service is brilliant, loads of lovely, friendly staff who couldn’t help you more! The best transformation has been the food…! The Sunday Roast is delicious, definitely the best in the local area (Forest Hill/honor oak/East Dulwich!) the only downside is there are so many TVs that if you’re not a sports fan you cannot escape it… my dad is hard of hearing so it was difficult for him to hear over all of the TV noise. But apart from that, honestly this place is great and so happy for the new owners 🙌
