I often like to go out and get a 'proper' coffee during the day. Having tried all the coffee shops I could find in Greenwich and being disappointed with most of them, I'd resigned myself to having to go to Starbucks to get anything half decent.

Now I'm glad to have found an independent coffee shop that serves one of the best lattes I've ever tasted. The service is always friendly, the music is great and the double chocolate Byron Bay cookies are far too addictive.

Give it a go you wont be disappointed, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced and ooh that coffee, well worth it just for that.I often like to go out and get a 'proper' coffee during the day.

What can you say about a wooden hut at the side of the road, well quire a lot actually, this place has been there for years, offering the usual bacon butty and a cup of tea by the side of the road. There are no thrills with this place, not even a toilet, it is perfectly situated opposite Greenwich park on the very busy blackheath hill. Everyone from cabbies, motorcyclists, to lorry drivers stop here, its nothing fancy, standard food, hot and cold drinks, fairly reasonable prices. I personally like this place, it is what it is, no pretense, if your passing and you fancy a cup of tea or a bacon butty pull over and give it a go.What can you say about a wooden hut at the side of the road, well quire a lot actually, this place has been there for years, offering the usual bacon butty and a cup of tea by the side of the road.

I'm a big fan of deli food i could quite easily spend my life eating nothing else, i try not to judge places too easily so i visited this place twice. It is a charming, comfortable place, offering a large selection of delicacy's the coffee was ok but seemed to be lacking something, i expected better from a place like this, the food however was absolutely delicious,but rather on the expensive side, as for the staff, well i think the girl serving me must have been having 2 off days, i say 2 because she was the same on both occasions, she always looked and acted like she was getting ready to serve the next person coming in rather than giving me all her attention while serving me. sorry to say i wont be going back, but the food is nice.I'm a big fan of deli food i could quite easily spend my life eating nothing else, i try not to judge places too easily so i visited this place twice.

This place has been going as long as iv'e lived in London, Im sure when Maggie goes it will have a blue plaque erected ( or at least it should) Fantastic breakfasts and hearty meat and two veg main meals, just like your mother used to make. Definitely the place to go if you have a hangover you want curing, its so hard to find anywhere nowadays that will give you more than you pay for, but Maggies is the exception with the never ending cup of tea. Not a big place, not a posh place, but good honest home cooking, this place is at the top of my greasy spoon list.

Park Cafe Greenwich - sheer heaven by gard3n3r

Review by gard3n3r

Rating: 4.00Is there really anywhere quite like Greenwich park, especially on a hot sunny day. The cafe in Greenwich Park, is situated at the top of the hill close to the observatory. It offers a decent standard of fare although at the usual tourist trap prices, it is clean and has good seating both inside and out, but i have to say, short of a cup of tea, i wouldnt really pay their prices, if i were coming to Greenwich park, i would pack myself a nice picnic and sit on the acres of grass available, save your money, until the kids pester you for an ice-cream. Worth it for a cup of tea though.Is there really anywhere quite like Greenwich park, especially on a hot sunny day.

Tried this for cake and tea on a sunny sunday afo. The walnut and coffee cake was great, pot of tea not bad (although no hot water to top it up) and a nice atmosphere.

... then definitely check out Pistachios. This gay-friendly cafe is located near the Cutty Sark (or what's sadly left of it!) and has a lovely courtyard out back to enjoy what's left of summer. Great breakfast, great service, great prices!... then definitely check out Pistachios.
