Lovely friendly little cafe, with mosaics 5th December 2007

This is a great little cafe with fantastically friendly staff and really excellent food. They do everything from your posh fare with your unusual ingredients to your basic fried breakfasts. It's all good, and it all tastes fairly healthy. Plus they don't look at you funny if you order a bottle of wine with your breakfast.

There is also room to sit out the front and out the back, and both the front porch and back yard are covered in some really excellent mosaics.

It also has one of the friendliest and most upbeat waitresses I've ever encountered. She's one of those people who can't help adding at least one term of endearment to every single sentence, so you get practically assaulted with beautifuls and darlings and lovelies and loves. It would drive you mad if you lived with her, but for a one-off cafe experience, it is very endearing.

One star knocked off because a) I once received a vegetarian sausage instead of a meat one, and b) it's a tiny bit pricey (but it's worth it).

Oh, it's also on a great road with a fish van and knick-knacks market and a woman selling fudge. Good old East Dulwich.
