The Pigeon Hole Cafe in Southwark

I would like to say something It's shame to see this lovely cafe close down years ago I bet it was a lovely cafe back it was still open I sure it had lovely food and lovely veiew outside the window I know I never got a chance to try this cafe out sadly because it closed down in a matter of days and years

This was my favorite cafe in Camberwell. So cozy and a nice warm vibe. Not very hipster or industrial like so many other new cafes now. You are missed.

Fui a desayunar esta mañana. Gran paseo desde Salamanca donde nos quedamos. Ambos tomaron un café y un sándwich tostado, tuve champiñones, que era increíble y mi amigo tenía el jamón y el queso, que también era excelente. El servicio fue eficiente y amable ya un precio razonable. Sin duda lo recomendaría y esperamos volver en la próxima visita.

El café y los pasteles son deliciosos, usan café tostado de grandes proveedores (creo que el volcán), que está bien tostado pero no está quemado. He tenido el mejor café expreso de Londres, por suerte de tener este gran café local junto a mi puerta.

Después de una caminata cuesta abajo, la cafetería es un merecido descanso. La gente es amable y eficiente. Café fenomenal y comida super.

Weak milky coffee which I did not expect after reading reviews. Breakfast menu ok but a bit pretentious and trendy. Just don't expect traditional menu items.

Went here with a couple of friends in the summer and sat in the cute garden out the back. Coffee was great, as was the cake. The service was really lovely and homely without being forced or twee.

Friendly and reasonably priced brunch spot on a quiet pedestrianised road. We ate baked spicey beans (which were phenomenal) and baked eggs with tomato sauce and seasonal greens (underbaked but quickly rectified by polite staff). Service was very slow but nice atmosphere, good music and coffee was more than sufficient to pass the time! Would definitely return.

Camberwell could really do with a decent, reasonably priced cafe that doesn't try too hard to be cool and relaxed. This isn't it.

Been a few times with my boyfriend when I lived locally, really great for breakfast or brunch - the smoked salmon is delicious or try the amazing baked eggs!

Its becoming a regular venue for my weekend brunch cravings. The tastiest smokey beans with baked eggs and bacon!!! A delicious selection of cakes and great coffee! Oh and they stock the local beer ORBIT. I don't know what else i would add to improve it!

The baked tomatoes was more of a tomato soup made with passata and topped with an undercooked egg at the cost of £7.50. I politely mentioned it wasn't great and was told it was their 'best seller' and they always get positive feedback about it, I don't think I'll be back to try anything else if that's the case. The standard for food in the area is really high so I hope for their sake it improves. Taking on board customer feedback with a bit more grace would be a good place to start.

Para del Londres buena opción Teniendo en cuenta que es caro comer en cualquier lugar Muy buen café. Recomendable

This cafe is such a cute little place. Came here for brunch. Had the scrambled eggs with salmon-delicious! Very tasty. Staff were all extremely friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere and loved the decor. Prices aren't bad for Camberwell either-though I perhaps would have liked an extra piece of toast! All in all, highly recommend!

The bacon sarnie was to die for, with the nicest of bread and good coffee. Service was friendly, great environment - sat in tiny sunny enclosed court yard ( court yard is an exaggeration but nice anyway) couldn't have asked for more.

Yes the Pigeon Hole may seem a bit vetuste and maybe it is run by a young crowd but I love the place. You sit down on old chairs and tables while a smiling young lady greats you. You watch the lads in the kitchen get their act together and you enjoy the vibes of this laid back cafe. Great Granola.My Eggs with soldiers were delicious and even better when topped with marmite. Excellent coffee. Outside tables compliment the inside. This is NOT your upmarket teahouse but a pigeon hole with very happy pigeons as patrons. Will be back

Its an odd little cafe in an almost easily missed location. But the rustic decor and excellent service are complimented by the consistently delicious entrees and puddings.

Tiny cafe , good food and cakes and nice ambience, tucked down a side street, tables outside in good weather.

Had lunch with my children, and waited for 20 minutes for soups that came sprinkled with a herb picked from a vase outside the kitchen area. She didn't even wash the leaves before placing them on top of the soups! The bread was also buttered...

Been here several times for brunch or coffee. They do a small selection of savoury stuff but all of it is really good, might not serve the fussy so well but I guess they do toast. Everyone likes toast, right? It's a bit of a...

Who would guess this lovely cafe is here tucked away off Camberwell Church St. Had a fab hot chocolate with chocolate sprinkles. An eco friendly place, bright and cheerful with a nice selection of food and drinks and cocktails in the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed a...

...tiny-wee coffee shop just off Camberwell Green, unbelievably trendy but an excellent cup of coffee, jolly, friendly staff, great inexpensive art for sale on the walls and a very funny ethos...I do hope they do well as they deserve too but it is poorly signed...

It's a quiet afternoon, I know a client is going to call me a 2pm, and I'm looking for a spot. I asked if it would be possible for the music to be turned off for while I was on the call. The other customer...

Very friendly place. Simple but excellent breakfast. Suitable for veggies, would always recommend and return. Very friendly staff

Quirky, amusing, happy, delicious, rustic, Very limited menu, helpful/friendly staff. Two ladies manage a growing clientele with healthy, but tasty, meals.

I really ought to go here more often, not only do they have great coffee and cakes, but the atmosphere is delightful. Lovely vintage furniture and friendly staff. Oh and a nice small selection of drinks as well.

The ladies at the pigeon hole need to be commended for their attention to detail with regard to the interior, food and drinks. I recommend. Thank you.

Really friendly little corner of Camberwell. Great coffee and sandwiches and fun stuff after dark too. Best place to get a bit of work done too.

Great coffee and definitely the best cheese toastie I have ever had! As someone else wrote you don't really want to tell everyone as it's small and will become full up but it's great!

We went to the Pigeon Hole for breakfast, We ordered bacon sandwiches and Mexican Eggs. Friendly, attentive service and deliciously different food. The cafe also have Guest Chef nights which we will book for in the future.

The Pigeon Hole is really the best place ...EVER. Its what you dream a local cafe to be like . I don't really want to spread it around because then all those trendy types start to clog it up and then you cant get a...

We popped here for lunch today. Friendly helpful staff. Best bacon and chilli carrot / emmental and pear chutney sandwich ever consumed and great coffee! We will definitely be returning here on a regular basis!! Thankyou!

Tucked round the corner off the main road - a great, peaceful cafe with lovely freshly made food. Great music and books. Go there

My colleague and I stayed in London this last week. After discovering it, we visited "The Pigeon Hole" every day until we left to come back to America. Not only is the atmosphere and decor adorable, but so are the two ladies that run the...

If you're looking for a 'breath of fresh air' amongst the smog, tumbleweave and grime of Camberwell then this really is the place. I had a flat white and bacon sarni. The coffee was perfect (milk not scolded as per the other local cafés I've...

I was in the Camberwell area and stumbled upon this delightful cafe. I had such a lovely time that I have now become a regular feature there. The owners Holly and George were welcoming and warm telling me of their initial vision, which was to...
