I grabbed a seat outside while I waited for my order, and the staff couldn't have been more courteous. The lovely team told me they'd let me know as soon as a table opened up; and they did! One of the kind baristas even helped carry my drink and dishes over to the new spot. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made me feel genuinely welcomed. The latte I ordered was beautifully made; smooth, rich, and exactly what a great latte should taste like. These baristas clearly know their way around an espresso machine. I only just discovered Café O Roaster & Bakery today after recently moving to the Woolwich area, but even with how busy it gets, the atmosphere and amazing staff have already made it my new go-to work-from-home spot when I'm not in the office.

I politely asked if she wouldn't mind doing this down further because the hard stamping was made it difficult for me to hear the conversation I was having with my guest. The server told the next server who returned and purposely stamped even louder. Before I left I again politely explained this was very loud. She responded saying that I need not come back and she has a business to run. Will not be returning.

My partner and I visited the café while staying at a nearby BnB, and it turned out to be such a…read morepleasant surprise. Crushed Almond Bakery Café offers a Turkish-focused menu with a wide variety of homemade baked goods. We were quite hungry, so we ordered the breakfast set -- the Kahvaltı (which seemed to be the most popular item in the café) -- along with a feta pogaça and a cheese-onion-potato açma. While the meal was on the pricier side (about 50 for both of us), you can genuinely taste the quality of the ingredients. We absolutely loved the pogaça and açma: warm, toasty, generously filled with cheese, and incredibly satisfying. The breakfast set was also excellent, especially the biber salçası, which was phenomenal paired with the yogurt dip and spread over the bread. We could not get enough of it. I also adored the honey-tahini combination, both the strawberry and grape jams, and even the balsamic vinegar with olive oil. I usually resent vinegar, but this made me realize I've just rarely had high-quality balsamic -- every dip in the Kahvaltı was exceptional. I strongly recommend trying it. (I only wish they offered a menemen or shakshuka as part of the breakfast options!) On the other hand, the coffee didn't stand out as much. My baklava cold brew was a bit watery -- likely too much ice -- and my partner found the Turkish coffee just okay, though it did come with a delicious cube of Turkish delight. The interior of the café is gorgeous, and I'd love to return to try more of their baked goods (that beautiful baklava cheesecake!), as well as their Turkish delights.
