[[Kake]] and [[Sarah]] visited on a Monday evening in November 2011 (note however that as of early 2012 they no longer open in the evening except on Thursdays). When we arrived shortly after 5pm there were already several people in, a fair few of them with laptops. The upstairs was mostly full but there was still some room in the basement. The [http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattward/5622829430/ resident pug] was wandering around during our visit, which made Sarah rather happy. Music was playing, not too loud.

Small cafe/coffee bar opposite Brockley Station. It opened in late 2009 on the site formerly occupied by Dandelion Blue.

The ground floor is small and crammed with seating, with even a sofa at the far end. The basement is a little less cramped, housing just three booths with low tables, each with room for 5-6 people to sit around.

Kake and Sarah visited on a Monday evening in November 2011 (note that as of late November they no longer open on Monday evenings). When we arrived shortly after 5pm there were already several people in, a fair few of them with laptops. The upstairs was mostly full but there was still some room in the basement. The resident pug was wandering around during our visit, which made Sarah rather happy. Music was playing, not too loud.

During the day, the place functions mostly as a coffee shop, with cakes and things on offer, but when they're open in the evening they also have wine and savoury food available; on our visit the food switchover happened around 6pm.

We had a few glasses of wine (served in water glasses) as well as a bread/cheese/meat platter photo and a couple of extra-large sausage rolls photo. It was all good quality, the cheese was a very generous portion, and they were happy to give us a refill on the bread. They told us that they source their cheese from a place in Peckham and their bread from Tottenham, and they make their own butter (it was indeed good butter).

Accessibility: Can't remember if there's a step to get in, but in any case it's pretty cramped on the ground floor. The toilet, along with some of the seating, is in the basement down a flight of stairs with a handrail that only goes partway down.
