The decor is quirky and retro without being unnecessarily hipster, and they do cream teas and all sorts of yummies. Quick service, friendly staff, and a really cute (but small and easy to miss) spot for afternoon tea or brunch.

But, in my defense, whilst I knew this place was here, I thought it was the cafe at the bottom of the park - which is always packed to the rafters. This place is right at the back of the park near the Blackheath entrance. Usually I don't walk this way. But I'm so pleased i did! Why? Well they do the yummiest ice cream. Jersey cream ice cream. All tasty and lovely and perfect. The queue wasn't a mile long, the service was friendly, and they hadn't run out of strawberry. They're my new favourite people. A double scoop is £3, but then you get to stroll through the park to the deer enclosure eating ice cream, so it's £3 well spent. There's outside seating as well, but why would you want to sit there when you can get some grass between your toes in the sunshine?! Great find. I'll be walking to the park the back way from now on.

On March 1, 2025, I went in and ordered two coffees--an Americano and a Mocha. The so-called "black…read moreAmericano" wasn't actually coffee; instead, we were given the leftover dregs from the previous brew. The so-called coffee was practically transparent--it couldn't even be called coffee. I'm sure the Mocha was made the same way. When we asked why the coffee looked so bad, we were told it had "a lot of water," but in reality, it was just old leftovers from another coffee. Another employee--a young man--remade the coffee, and this time it actually tasted like coffee. However, they didn't replace the Mocha. The person who originally made our coffee had a rude and arrogant attitude, insisting that the coffee was fine in her opinion. From the very beginning, the service was terrible. I live in this area, but I will never step foot in this place again. Avoid this cafe, you'll be extremely disappointed!

And my first visit to Piggy's Cafe made the trip even more enjoyable and rewarding. After perusing through the wonders of the fish market, stopping off in Piggy's Cafe seemed like the right thing to do.We'd compared, we'd (tried to) haggle, and now we just fancied a sit down before heading home and going back to bed again - we'd left the house at 4:30am. We both knew what we wanted, and seeing as we were surrounded by thousands of fresh fish goods, we were certainly going to order fish in here. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Creamcheese bagel (£3.00) and Joe ordered the Scallop and Bacon Bagel (£3.50). We could have ordered a lovely cuppa, but didn't want any caffeine effecting our sleep we knew we would be having in a few hours. You order at the kitchen, and then wait for your food at the table you've chosen to sit at. The buzz and the atmosphere in this place is mesmerising; I found myself looking at every detail of this cafe and loving it all! The customers, the staff, the food, the drink, the noises - it was great! It was amusing to see 2 Weetabix in milk being served to an elderly fish seller, especially after being in the microwave. Just how my mum used to make it for me! There was also a gentleman eating sliced banana on toast! I've never seen that outside of a home, and would never expect it to be served in a cafe. Piggy's, you continue to impress me! Our food came quick enough, and boy was it tasty! My smoked salmon did taste fresh, and it was fishy too, in a good way obviously! I knew the bagel wouldn't be as delicious as those from Brick Lane, but it was surprisingly firm and doughy either way. Joe's Scallop and Bacon Bagel was greasy but good! Salty but good too! Check out my pictures. Other things on the menu, that we glanced at, were the Haddock Breakfast, your classic Smoked Salmon & Scrambled Eggs, and then the Scallop Melt. I think I saw someone with this Scallop Melt, and it involved cheese and scallops, and maybe some scrambled eggs and bacon mixed in there too, yum! Overall, Piggy's Cafe is a number one joint to visit. I'm sure their fry ups are delicious, and I would love to go back to try something else on their menu. I'd dip, sip and tip at this fishy (in a good way!) joint! Menu not available online, but their telephone number is: 0207 987 1068
