Rise & Bloom - East Dulwich in Southwark

The best place in East Dulwich for coffee and treats and has the friendliest staff. Well worth the 90 second walk from Peckham Rye if you're out walking. Make sure you try the mocha's too - they're pretty epic.

The best coffee in Dulwich bar none! We are regulars here and the quality of service, food and drink is what makes us come back every time. It's great for dog walkers in the area too because it's close to Peckham Rye so you can get yourself a treat after the walk.

Two stars as it looked like a nice place and nicely decorated. We stopped off on the way to the park to get sandwiches, but there was only 1 ready-made tuna sandwich and a few pastries!! So we didn't eat or takeaway. I had asked online if they could do sandwiches for a park picnic, and the reply was yes, of course. But there were no sandwiches available, this was at about 12.40pm. Was I supposed to order in advance?? I did ask the lady about sandwiches, but she said it was just what's there. Anyway we had a lovely lunch at the cafe in the park instead.

Great minimalist local cafe providing easily the best coffee for miles. People travel to pick up precision-made americanos, espressos and iced lattes you name it. I love the sparkling water served in chilled glasses (really professional touch) and fresh pastries. They do artisan bread and a short range of delicious sandwiches (which go fast, so hurry). Brilliant place that does everything with care.

Just popped in to waste some time, and the coffee was delicious. It was an early Sunday afternoon and empty due to the time but looked like a good spot. Staff were friendly and helpful, so for me, that's a win. They had chocolate brownies that looked delicious, which i didn't try, so I'll have to go back on my random travels to Peckham.

Visited, really decent coffee but how much??? Maybe brexit made the beans a lot to import

Great little spot for coffee break. Atmosphere was really nice and chilled! Service with a smile, goes a long way. First but def won’t be the last time I visit.

We found this place while visiting from Estonia. What a gem! Friendly service and delicious cakes. Great prices, too.

Very few times in my life I have posted reviews of the places I went to, but this cafe is brilliant! From the cool vibe you feel from the moment you walk in the door, the kindness of the waiters to the quality coffee. I swear I've never had a better cappuccino than here! 5 stars from me and keep it up!♥️

Jay had amazing customer service, the atmosphere was so comforting. They also make really good coffees. Definitely recommend 🙌

Rise & Bloom Café is a hidden gem! Their coffee is exceptional, and the ambiance is cozy yet modern. The baristas are skilled, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for any coffee lover!

Let me continue my turn of playing the game of color self-disclosure. I’m not white, and I didn’t feel welcome at the store at all. I didn’t know the reason, as I never took my background seriously until I saw other comments saying the owner is unwelcoming to certain people.

Hi people, I’m a proud Black British local member of the community. I have to show a lot of love and respect to the owners of this coffee shop. I’ve seen their journey from the inception of their hard earned business. I’m a great coffee lover and get my daily caffeine fix from Rise & Bloom every single day. All their staff are always on point with their customers service very welcoming, warm & efficient. I speak to the owners regularly and can personally say that they are extremely hardworking, have great morals & integrity. The energy that they put out is inspiring to me & anyone chasing their dreams. I spoken with the owners many time when they were setting up their 2nd shop. As you can imagine they faced many challenges but one thing they reiterated to me was they would not compromise on their customer service, “Rise & Blooms product is our great customer service, service..service ..service” Your going to get some people that want to tear you down and you may never know the reason why. I love your coffee & the service I receive daily. Keep up your amazing service & your positive energy. 👊🏾

I absolutly love this place! The coffee is amazing and the staff are super friendly. Ignore previous troll!

I really don't know what a previous reviewer is referring to. I'm not white and have always felt incredibly welcome at R&B. Easily the most friendly and efficient service and best coffee in East Dulwich.

Can’t put in words how special this place is. Super friendly staff. Outstanding coffee. Great atmosphere and energy. I’ve been coming here since they open. Best coffee in town. Highly recommended.

Best sausage rolls in the world

Lovely staff and venue, coffee was great too!

Amazing place to come after morning workout, thr coffee is done fabouliusly, and carefully crafted just as I wanted with a very warm and encouraging atmosphere to sit and enjoy my well deserve sunshine.

Best place in East Dulwich and Peckham Rye for coffee, especially mocha's and pastries. Don't accidently visit anywhere else.

Found this little gorgeous coffee shop in East Dulwich. The coffee was 11 out of 10 and a cheeky little pastry also 😋 I recommend and will defo return!! ❤️

Absolutely love Rise & Bloom. Coffee is excellent, staff are lovely, pastries and cakey bits are a triumph (kimchi croissants sound weird but oh baby they're good!). Thoroughly recommend. And the flat whites are absolutely bang on.

Best coffee in london! Such a great atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful coffee and snacks.

It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. The place is really cute! My go to coffee is flat white and obviously I had to try it here too. As I was waiting for my coffee to be made, I started to talk about the pastries with the lady that works there and she recommended me the almond croissant and the cinnamon buns. I got one of each and when I tried them I was so shocked at how great they are. The cinnamon buns reminded me of the ones my grandma used to make. Anyway, overall it was an amazing experience, the coffee and food were great and I will totally come back again. If I could, I would rate it more than 5 stars.

Such a lovely place with friendly, smiling and respectful people. Great service, lovely atmosphere and amazing coffee. A big plus for the veggie milk options, especially for the oatmeal one which is my absolute fav. I would love to drink my coffee here every morning. Keep up the amazing job that you're making, guys 🤩

lovely staff and surely there are loads of regulars but unfortunately the coffee is overpriced given its bewildering quality. I ordered a flat white and the foam was too bubbly to drink. The flavour was overly bitter and far from bold and strong. This is the worst flat white I’ve ever had.

Very Disappointing service!!! I went in to order coffee and tend to get my coffee from small business, unfortunately I was appalled in the service I received, I was served by a lady whom has taken her time rightful so to serve two customers who were together. I was next in line with no customers behind at the time, I placed my order and the lady had asked me to tap my card and step to one side as she started to serve the next customer behind who just entered. she then went back to attempt to prepare my order in which another customer then entered and stopped to serve that customer. I was in total shock I left the un made coffee and told her to forget it which i paid for when all she does is stare at me. Total disgust without making an judgement I fully understood why.. clearly I am not welcomed in certain communities. سكرن

Got a wholemeal bloomer from here which was nice. The pastries looked delicious

A nice little coffee shop hidden on a quiet street close to Peckham Rye Park and Common. The coffee was excellent. Also the music selection was lovely!

Great local coffee shop. Always nice and friendly service

Just want to say the guy that's running this by himself is doing a sterling job, such a happy chappy despite being a human octopus! Seriously 😁 impressed.

Cute cafe. Comfy chairs. Nice coffee and pastries. Lovely little seating area out front. It’s a good’n x

Beautiful and peaceful coffee shop! Thanks

Found the owner incredibly rude and standoffish

Great coffee and great staff. 👍 thank you for your hospitality

Amazing atmosphere, Great Staff and even better coffee, Sausage rolls are to die for 🔥

Great coffee but unfortunately we recently received appalling customer service at this cafe. One of the owners was incredibly rude twice on one visit which has sadly tainted our view after visiting repeatedly.

Very friendly staff, good coffee

Nice little cafe. Had a coffee and a sausage roll for a quick lunch, both very good.

Excellent and friendly service. 👍🏾

The very best coffee, pastries and bread in East Dulwich. Also, superb wine selection and wonderful staff.

A great place for morning coffee and the wine selection to take home is amazing.

Great coffee shop! Excellent coffee, oat milk option. The sweetest serving staff. Small seating area inside and also out the front. We will back back for more! Cakes looked amazing but i managed to resist. All the bread on offer is from Paul Rhodes and looks delicious too.

lovely atmosphere, coffee is spot on and the food is to die forrr you wont regret it

Perfect place for first coffee of the day. I love one of the best 'CHAI LATTE', it is amazing. Also good customer service.

The best coffee in East Dulwich, served by helpful friendly baristas and run by the charming and professional Jay and Gosia, with a little help from Leo and Amber! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Great coffee, food and very friendly owners!

Possibly the best coffee in South East London. Lovely people, nice fresh sandwiches and delicious cakes.

Nice and quiet place to have a drink. The pork and sage sausage rolls are yummy especially with mustard 😋.

Nice coffee and cakes. East Dulwich prices of course, but worth it as a weekend treat. Young barrista was very kind and accommodating

Best coffee and sourdough in South London. Family run business with friendly service and great food.

Our fave local coffee shop. Friendly service and the blondies they sell are the best ❤️

Amazing coffee. Great cakes & pastries. Friendly welcome. New favourite place!

We get our bread there every week and the occasional pain au chocolat. We also recently got ground coffee and it’s really good. All of the products are fresh and super tasty

Nice local coffee shop that also produces excellent fresh bread and pastries.

Best coffee, bread, pastry and wine in E.D. by a country mile!

Sausage rolls are disgusting feel ill don't not buy overpriced rubbish

Great coffee and food, best in the area

In my view the tastiest coffee in Peckham/Dulwich. And lively service and nice bread and pastries. Complete ;-)

Good outside seating area, I liked the coffee and the selection of sausage rolls. I ate the pork and marmalade, very good. Next time will try the sage and pork. They sell home made bread too!

Coffee is good, no queue, vegan cake every time. Bingo!

Always delicious bread and treats with friendly service. Oh, and great coffee too.

Lovely staff and even better pastries. Their sausage rolls are some of the best you'll have!

Dropped in here not long before Christmas, picked up a killer sage focaccia bread thing. Really friendly people and they're now stocking some cracking wines too! I went in for bread and walked out with a delicious Californian chardonnay and a hearty Italian red. Saved me a trip to another shop and really pleased. Great for wine, coffee, lunch and pastries!

Great coffee, plenty of pastries and cake options, and friendly staff. Also a good range of lunch options – delicious sandwiches, and sausage rolls too keep you going through the day. They roast their own coffee – they have a roasted as you come in and it’s always delicious. They’ve recently started offering a fantastic selection of wines for takeaway too. Great local business that I always enjoy visiting for a morning caffeine fix.

Nice little coffee shop. Unfortunately one of the baristas made a mistake with our cortados (too much milk)...said she'd re-make it but actually just poured out half the cup. It's ok to make a mistake but not ok to play customers for fools. Note to owner - thanks for the reply. It was the same size cup as a flat white as our friends had ordered flat whites before us. Perhaps you had run out of your smaller cups that day. No business is perfect.

Came here for a family celebration, was very impressed with the quality of pastries, excellent coffee too. Staff very friendly and the place was spotlessly clean. Definitely would recommend a visit.

Had a small get together with family to celebrate a family occasion. The overall experience was excellent, the food was delicious, the drinks fab. I would highly recommend Rise & Bloom to anyone looking for a class venue to hold small/medium gatherings who enjoy top notch food and drink.

Gorgeous little place, the food was fantastic and the staff couldn't of been more helpful. We will definately be back !! Thank you

We had an amazing time at Rise and Bloom. The food and coffee were outstanding ( especially the cakes! ) . Helpful and friendly staff made the experience memorable.

An amazing little place - polite and efficient staff, delicious food and a great selection of drinks - including their legendary coffee which is roasted, ground and brewed on site. A lovely relaxed atmosphere and deservedly popular with locals and visitors alike. My favourite was a doorstep sandwich - made with sourdough bread naturally! I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in or around East Dulwich.

What a gem of a shop in East Dulwich. Decaf roast coffee lovely and smooth. Bakery and cakes so fresh and tasty, my favourite pastel de Nata delicious. The staff are so friendly and always very helpful. Decor is fresh and very clean. Will be back soon.

The owners & all of the staff are always friendly. The coffee is amazing (they carefully select the beans & roast in house). They also serve a delicious range of bread, cakes & pastries.

Absolute rude and passive aggressive staff. Will never come back

Really tasty coffee! A great little spot and maybe the best pasta del nata I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend popping in.

Went in for a filter, purely based on being local for the day. Glad I did, certainly worth a return visit one day. Always heartening to find another good coffee shop.

Very rude staff. I was shocked.

Fantastic little place, very clean and well presented with good selection of baked goods and drinks.

Cute space, comfortable chairs, great coffee

Cutest coffee shop, super friendly staff and pastries to die for. They roast their own coffee in house that you can buy and enjoy at home too!

Little gem in the area, just pop in and grab a delicious coffee to start your day! Beautiful setting, friendly personnel, they are offering a few pastries as well. Highly recommended!

Incredible coffee....best ever- literally! Wonderful service and my favorite coffee shop in East Dulwich. So glad you are here!

Really nice place to come for morning coffee and fresh bakery.

The only café i’ve ever found in South London with its own roastery for the coffee beans. Always top quality service with impeccable manners and v clean everywhere. A world class cafe.....

Nice staff and great local cafe. Good selection of baked goods but could improve the coffee

Heart warming service and nice coffee!

GOOD FOR YOUR MORNING MOTIVATION

Amazing funky local cafe offering delicious coffee and pastries. Attentative staff make sure you are looked after and feel comfortable. Thank you Gosia for making us feel so welcomed. If your ever in the Dulwich pop in for coffee, Highly recommend.

Excellent coffee and great bread . Friendly and helpful always . Hidden gem on Barry Road

Really nice place with excellent pastries, lovely staff. However, beware the takeaway cups! They don't seal properly around the lid - so basically every time you try to drink or indeed move the cup, you will inevitably end up pouring scalding hot coffee all over your hand. All credit to the person who designed these lethal cups - it really does incentivise getting a keepcup.

Fab coffee and lovely staff. Easily my favourite coffee shop in East Dulwich.

Great service the pastry are to die for, and the coffee fresh roasted every day. Really reasonable prices. I love it Great place Rise&Bloom

Great little place, with friendly staff, serious coffee and tasty bakes. The ham & cheese croissants and pastrami sandwiches are particularly delish. Extremely dangerous having this within a minutes walk...

Excellent coffee and pastries served by a lovely group of people. Perfect neighbourhood café.

Great selection of coffee and baked goods, but sadly overpriced

Exceptional service with freshly made sandwiches and great iced coffee.

Brand new, great selection of baked goods.
