This is just how my life seems to go, but no sooner had Cafe 2050 opened its minimalist white doors…read morethan I upped and moved from 5 minutes walk to a 20 minute bus ride away. Hmph. My relocation is to blame for my tardiness in making my first visit, but now I've sampled it and been impressed I'm making plans to drag friends along with me next time. Located towards the top end of a scuzzy-looking parade of shops, you'd be forgiven for turning back too soon and missing out on Cafe 2050 altogether. Walk those extra few steps though and you'll be rewarded by a little haven of calm off a busy main road. As you enter, a sideboard packed with pastries beckons, the scent of coffee lingers in the air and subtle dance music plays in the background. A mix of bleached and white wood serves for tables and chairs and pretty canvases adorn the walls. Foodwise, there's a more interesting variety than usual, with French and German breakfast platters as well as smaller snacks like toast, bagels and fruit and yoghurt. The lunch menu includes paninis, croque monsieur, home-made soup and quiche (specials change daily). So far so yummy, but it's the little things about a place that make me want to come back, and at Cafe 2050 one of those little things is the way they serve their jam: in a big jar with a spoon. Another is that the wifi works instantly - it's the sort of place I can imagine spending the whole morning, my hard work fuelled by the wonderful coffee.

So another trendy coffee shop in trendy Croydon Park. How one small area can support so many…read morecoffee shops I have no idea. The shop is small and well laid out to make best use of its limited space. They have a small outdoor area but I've not been in it so can't say more than it exists. They do all the usual coffees with the various types of milks available. They offer vegan dishes along with vegan cakes. They market themselves as somewhere you can sit and work on their free WiFi, which is always good to know. How good the WiFi is I have no idea. I would say they are a little bit on the expensive side as it seems every piece of cake is £5! Or there about. They are friendly and service is genuinely quick and they do a loyalty card which is good given the price of everything!!

These guys do small cups of pure perfection and that comes at a cost. I'm not a coffee snob - I will drink any coffee but I also appreciate great coffee & have no problem paying for it. If you want a large shitty coffee that costs £2.50 go somewhere else. And if you have a sweet tooth their brownies, banana bread and cupcake donuts are all yummy. I recently tried their yoghurt with muesli & apple and loved that too. Lunch options are pretty good too with a changing menu of salads, soups & sandwiches. All the hype is well deserved!

Excellent cafe located opposite Brockley Station, south of New Cross, and wonderfully hidden from…read morethe high street. This cafe boasts excellent coffees and even better cakes. One long table dominates the small room, set against dark shelves and furniture with clean white walls. The facade is un-intimidating and underplayed, plain black with a small, neat chalk board outside. The staff are polite and friendly without being fake. Famous within the area with a strong set of local customers, you can understand why people keep coming back. Definitely worth checking out, regardless if you're in Brockley or not.

I didn't try the food, as we came here for a quick catch-up, so I can't say that this review is for anything other than the coffee. The coffee was, unfortunately, very burnt and just did not taste very nice. My partner said that his flat white was a bit too milky and lacking in taste. One star for our selections, but I've given an extra star for how relaxing it feels to be sitting outside on a relatively quiet street. I could tell that it was quite a bit noisier inside the shop, so I'm not sure whether I would have liked that too much. Anyway, I might be back for some food, but I'm not sure it'll be high on my list.

We sat outside and they've made it pretty cosy and great for people watching. The burger was decent, but sadly let down by a slightly stale brioche bun, which killed it. Otherwise it would've been real tasty. The chicken burger was decent too, again let down by the bun. Both were £8.50. The fries and mac n cheese were both good. The mac being a little pricey at £3.50 for a pretty small portion served in a takeaway coffee cup?!? Probably the best bit - can of Red Stripe for £3. Nice. Worth a look, would've got 4.
