The Oak Cafe London in Lewisham

What a find! Don’t judge a book by its cover - the most delicious food! Plus genius portions. My Mum said it was the best veggie soup she’s ever had. Highly recommend

Consistently the most popular business on this parade for the last 25 years for a reason. Workmen in the know use the free parking and grab a breakfast to go or join locals for a well priced sit down great selection of meals. If you like liver, it's good here with bacon and onions, mash and gravy.

My local cafe. The food is great. Not greasy at all and you can create whatever you like. I visit frequently and I would definitely recommend this cafe. They do chicken sausages for those who do not eat pork too which is handy.

Great Cafe', great whole hearted food with generous portions, cooked by a great Italian Chef all served by lovely staff. I been coming here since mid 1990's when visiting family. Great stuff . . . Regards Rik 😊

Can b a arm 🙋& leg but good & what needed. 🍄 Mushroom 🍄 omelette & chips 🍟 & salad 🥗 & S.Pellegrino sparkling 💦 water.

One of my favourite coffee places! I’ve been coming here for a while as they have the best customer service, amazing food and the best oat chai latte! Thank you

I’ve been to this cafe several times and it’s great. The staff are fantastic, the food is lovely and good sized portions. Generally never disappointed and the price is fair. Top tip if you live near the area and fancy and cheap alternative coffee than the one at Hobart oak station. You’re best off buying it here

One of the best breakfasts in South East London. Really great food serviced by some really nice people. Definitely the best option in the area. Not as old worldly as the Electric Cafe, Mary's, Andrews, Pelici or Regency (which are all great). But a genuine top quality London cafe.

Can I tell you two things: - the steak pie is the BEST pie in London and, over the years, I've done the rounds of the pubs and cafes everywhere. The quality and taste of the pastry and the filling is exquisite. And the portions are large and speedily served. - the staff remember you and retain just what you like. And, talk about being warm and friendly? These ladies bubble with it. Kind, warm, and attentive, certainly. I can't always get there as often as I'd like to (my loss), but I suggest to you ALL in this area: THIS is the go-to place where to turn up, and you'll be well-satisfied and attended to. Always. Most certainly. Thanks Guys - including Mr Master Chef as well, with his smiling face! Noël

I had a very pleasant experience with them, friendly and helpful would recommend. Thank you JD

Good breakfast and very strong black coffee. I recommend it if you want to get sober

Lovely friendly local cafe, fantastic food. Great staff

This place is great. Lovely people, hearty good food and no pretentiousness at all. Lots of things to choose from and always tastes great. I’m a big fan.

Delicious food, lovely coffee & Milkshakes. Free street parking for up to 30 mins.

Regular- Great staff, great food. Taking away or enjoy the smells of foods while eating are both great experiences.

Be careful i gave the woman £20 an she gave me change of £10then argued with me i wouldn't bother they will try rip you off

Brilliant customer service thank you 😊

Literally one of the best breakfasts ive had on a long time, Been to a few cafes in my time and quite honestly I'd rate this one of the best, not from round the area, had been to the cemetery, but contemplating coming back once a month just for the breakfast and for the price defo 10 out of 10 from me literally one of the cheapest around, all in all good quality, big portion and brilliant prices Recommend

I’ve been visiting this cafe on and off for twenty years and have always been served first class food. Great chicken curry and excellent liver and bacon dinners

Favourite café in the area. Locally run. The food is tasty and reasonably priced and the service is good and quick. Best greasy spoon in the araa

Great cafe lovely food portions very generous staff really friendly

Never had a poor meal in this place.

Does what it says on the tin. Great cafe food and reasonably priced

Very affordable and has friendly staff. They also make the cheapest and best cappuccino in the area in my opinion.

One of the best local cafe. Freshly made food and smoothies. Helpful staff😊

Food was ok asked for well done bacon, it was burned and hard,

Worst Cafe in the area by a long shot! We ordered a simple scrambled egg on toast and were served obviously microwaved eggs. It takes 2 minutes to cook eggs on a pan but they preferred to cut corners and served us eggs that were still partially in the shape of the container they were heated in. Not good enough and expensive for what it was. I don’t care if its a local cafe, you still need to cook properly.

Always good food and friendly staff 👍

Always nice to go in a nice cafe been going there for years. Foods on point as always

Great service.lovely food. Best cafe in the area

Always good food and very friendly staff

Great local establishments with good food and friendly vibes

Not the best cafe in the area reheat lots of the food and abit pricey

One of the best Cafes I've been in and I've been in a lot of Cafes maybe the best use it every time over s.e.London

Paid nearly 10 pounds for a burger,chips and milkshake. (Baring in mind its a cafe standard burger) The milkshake was runny with bits in it and loads of syrup! It was £2.90 I sent it back straight away and told the lady I didn't like it. I had an ice tea instead and got no money back!! Rude staff and really overpriced. I will not be going back. They have a lot of regulars so the good reviews are obviously left by them. The lady did not even apologise. Chips where oily and burger was cold.

Friendly and reasonably priced service. With sufficient space for eating in. Food was prepared exactly as asked for.

The best pie dinner in the world

Great good! Do try the chicken curry

Great service fantastic home cooked food staff and owner very friendly you must try there food we use them all the time Brockway rise mot

Immediate and good service right from we entered the establishment. Polite service throughout our stay. The Cafe is recommended.

Very generous with their lovely egg rolls!!

Lovely food and a great taste not badly priced either.

My regular for breakfast, great service n excellent food

Family have been coming here for many years and it is always delicious!

Had a lovely breakfast today friendly staff

Never had any complaints about this cafe it's a really good one

Lovely and friendly cafe loads of different foods all healthy and good for vegans

Delivers everytime. Good ol' faashied greasy spoon cafe with a wide menu covering all the favourites and some lunch options. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Does get busy on the weekends but definitely worth a visit.

Always open when you need them!

Perfect for a lunch break fry-up. No fuss food and decent prices still. Friendly staff too.

Just what I like: good traditional English fry-up good portions reasonably priced, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Welcoming staff who sent this traveller on his way with a solid breakfast sandwich and flat white coffee. Quick service, good food at a good price; hits all the marks.

Simply I wouldn’t recommend this Cafe . I am disappointed the way they serve and also breakfast wasn’t testy.

Nice egg and bacon sandwich here

Had a lovely breakfast. We got a full english breakfast with tea and toast and a egg, sausage and bacon baguette. I really loved the baguette as it was toasted and buttered to perfection. I don't think I've ever had such an amazing breakfast sandwich! Cost: 3.5£. full english breakfast with toast and tea 5.9£ and latte was also good 1.9£. lovely staff who put up with me being indecisive for 20 minutes.

Lovely cafe, friendly, great menu. Will go again.

Fantastic breakfast. Just what you need after a night out.

Really nice food and perfect experience with staff! They even gave me something for free to try just because I had never had it before. Reccomended

All the best in this area 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Food was lovely best I've had in a long time, clean and welcoming staff

Very good food!!! Highly recomend

Brilliant delicious food great prices. If you want to make your own breakfast you can choose what you want. Brilliant lunch food from wraps to baguettes. Lovely friendly staff and Mem is a wizard in the kitchen.

Excellent service and food Staff were pleasant , helpful and welcoming to children

What a gem! Amazing food, reasonable prices, run by some lovely people. We'll be back!

very nice people and lifts my mornings when i'm there.

Very Bad experience... Aggresive owner...

Absolutely amazing place, epic food/portions and service. Never judge a book by its cover. Love it in here.

Tasty toasts, coffee is not the best but is not bad at all, really polite staff..

i go hear every day to get my food very nice just wished i had time to eat it in there

Great coffee and a bargain. This place was packed with locals. A proper cafe

I have a breakfast here regularly, also polite and quick. I love my mocha, fresh orange juice and marmite on toast. Nice local greasy spoon without the grease!

This place has quickly become our go-to café for Full English fry-ups. Instant hangover cure.

Always polite and fast service. Food is hearty and filling. Great menu with lots of choice and an amazing cup of tea. So good breakfast!

Best believe this place e makes top quality food and breakfast!🙌😢💯🤗

As greasy spoons go it's ok. it seems to has changed since my last visit you to get less chips than before. Eggs nicely cooked though.

I travel 8 miles just to come and have the best chicken curry any cafe can do.

Eat here every week great food every time!

My family have been a regular at this cafe for years. My mum and i come in when im off work. Food is always good for a cafe. Staff really friendly. The type of customers are pleasent no issues. The occasional idiot that tries to be cheap and bring their own drink or food in (like on what planet do you think thats acceptable?) All in all a pleasant little cafe in a pleasant area. Thank you for your service.

The halloumi and hummus were incredibly tasty. Liked it there

I am an advocate for asylum seekers and have used this cafe in the past to meet my clients. Today I met 2 clients, I bought drinks for all of us and started my session. I had a half eaten sandwich in my bag. As outreach workers we don't get breaks or lunch times, we eat when we can. After each bite I put the sandwich back in my bag. I probably had 3 bites over half an hour when the manager came over and told us to get out for not buying the food from the cafe. He said we shouldn't have even been given drinks without buying food. It's a greasy spoon cafe that's normally filled with construction workers. We got up and left after me telling them how ridiculous this was. The manager was horrible and he made us feel very uncomfortable in front of other customers. I am mixed race and both my clients were black. I have a very strong suspicion that this was race related. There really is no other explanation. You should be aware of the manner of which he conducted himself and how he runs his business

The main man kept my scarf in a safe place until my eventual return 6 months later - at which point he returned said treasure and proceeded to provide me with a delicious breakfast! Nothing more can ever be asked of such an establishment
