Another sunny day, and another visit to a gem of a café, this time Blue Brick Café in East Dulwich. Located on Fellbrigg Road which is just off the main road (Lordship Lane), this café is tucked away in a quiet back street with seating both outside in the sunshine and inside. Parking in the surrounding streets is free, and the main road has many different bus routes running through it, as well as East Dulwich station a ten minute walk away.
A quirky, self-styled vegetarian bistro with a commitment to using local produce, this café has a laid-back atmosphere and is pleasantly decorated with vintage tables and chairs. It was an ideal spot for us to spend a couple of hours working in the afternoon, with Wi-Fi and table seats available (but no plugs so remember to charge beforehand!).
Although the food is all vegetarian or vegan, there’s a wide selection of high quality dishes, and so it was easy for us to select something from the menu. It also encouraged us to consider something different from what we would normally choose, which creating a refreshing and unique experience. There was also a good range of teas, coffees, and organic drinks. Prices are reasonable considering the area, but payment is by cash only so make sure you’ve been to the bank!
While not the largest café in the world, it was a quiet afternoon so we could work away with ease without feeling disturbed. However, being on the smaller side, there was a little bit of kitchen noise drifting through, and if the café was full it could become harder to work in that environment.
A lovely example of a small independent café nestled in the back streets of East Dulwich, and well worth a visit for something a little different from the normal coffee chains. Their commitment to organic local produce shines through, and their interesting menu left two self-confessed carnivores perfectly satisfied which was a pleasant surprise.
