Adorable little coffee shop. My friend and I were lucky enough to pop in on the day they were…read morereopening (they had been burgled a fortnight previously, but luckily community spirit and a good crowdfunding campaign put them right back on track) and we ended up getting our drinks for free because of this, but I would happily have paid their prices, so I left a few coins in the charity pot and will definitely be going again. 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.

Took the grandchildren here on a visit to London. Although it was cheap the food was not very…read moregood. It was not freshly cooked but came from the microwave. Only good meal was Jacket Potato. They love their desserts but unfortunately the pancakes had mould on them and the chocolate cake was dry and state. Also there was a leak in the ceiling the date we visited. Will not be visiting again.

Love the interior of this place. Has a real feel of 1960s London-Italian coffee shop about it…read more Lovely staff. Including the man that seems to have been there for decades who I think, no exaggeration, is in his late 80s. Nice cup of coffee, selection of traditional cafe food (jacket potato, bacon roll, scones etc) and friendly regulars.

Always a warm welcome with a smile. Great varied menu for breakfast and lunch…read more Some outside seating on traffic free street just off Eltham high street

Stopped by for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Ordered a prawn and avocado baguette and…read morefound it to be very tasty, lovely fresh bread, decent amount of prawns and avocado. Good value and charming staff. Don't let the front put you off - it looks a bit tired but it's worth a visit. Nice tub chairs too at the front tables.

You don't bring me flowers. You don't sing me love songs. You hardly talk to me anymore when you…read morecome through the door at the end of the day.... What a genius idea it was to name this flower shop after the classic 70s broken-hearted ballad! I doubt there is any better way to guilt people in to a shop than letting the words of Neil Diamond float around their heads for a while. If you don't bring your loved one flowers then 1) shame on you and 2) maybe you should visit this shop. It's not just flowers in here but a whole range of gifts and cakes. There is a small cafe at the back of the shop too where you can reward yourself after buying your loved one a nice present. Tea is served in beautiful china pots and their cakes are delicious. The flowers themselves are range from the very exotic to the more well known varieties and are all wrapped beautifully. Maybe it would be worth suggesting to my boyfriend that we move to Lewisham for him to get the hint and buy me something from here!

Thank heavens for You Don't Bring Me Flowers…read more It's true that no one brings me flowers but frankly I wouldn't want anyone to deprive me of the privilege, when a visit to this little florist come coffee shop come pretty-things emporium is such an incredible delight. Prettily miniature in size, 'Flowers consists of a little window for sitting and gossiping, a marvellous display of beautiful blooms, a counter laden with cakey goodness, some divine little tables towards the back and an upstairs room, complete with tiny terrace. Every single little corner is a dream and a masterpiece no more can be described, a visit is due. Sample the best-in-a-very-very-large-radius coffee, nibble the cakes, grab a croissant if you're an early bird, have a sandwich, sip some soup heck stay there all day if you have to, I am yet to find something I don't like about this place. Sigh.

The arty decor with the decadent red couches and the vinyl records creates a very relaxing atmosphere and the beverages complete the cosy feeling that gets created.

Pleasantly surprised by the Eltham branch of Costa Coffee. Behind the normal shop front, Costa…read morestretches back to include some comfy sofas and tables where you can spread out and relax. Staff very friendly and helpful, and the coffee (and the chocolate brownie thing I ate) was good too. "Do you have a Costa Coffee Card?" I was asked. No. "Would you like one?" But when the lady looked by the till to give me one, there were none left. Cue much scurrying into the back office before a profuse apology that they had run out - Eltham-ites must be keen on the Costa loyalty card, I think!

The Good: The food was pretty good. It wasn't what I was expecting, but sometimes having your…read moreexpectations challenged can work in your favor. I had the Salmon & Eggs which was delicious. I wasn't sure it would be enough to fill me up, so I got the Halloumi/Sausage/Avocado Toast, too. Everything was great, especially, the tea! The Bad: The service wasn't very inviting nor was it attentive or even kind. I'm not sure of why our server/host was so abrasive, but he was. I didn't feel at all like I was in a cafe, but rather more like I was in the home of a host who was not expecting my arrival...in New York. Overall, this was a good change of pace and good tea. While I will applaud the food and tea, I can't suggest coming here without having rather low expectations regarding service and host attitude. Maybe it was just a bad day, and having one unpopular experience isn't fair to this location. As of today, I give the food/tea a "4" but the service gets a poor "2."

The former was like a millionaire slice, but with soft, gooey caramel. I loved the Bakewell. The frangipane and jam perfectly complemented each other. As we ate these in a nearby park, we appreciated that the pastry was sturdy and tasty, so we had no trouble eating with our hands. Based on this experience, I'd happily visit another Paul Rhodes location.
