Café in [[Locale Sydenham|Sydenham]]. The café has a slight Jamaican theme. It used to be the Blue Mountain Cafe, according to a small painting inside and Google Street View from April 2018, but perhaps the owners felt it should echo the name of the immediate area, which is [https://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18863 known locally as Cobb's Corner] after the now-closed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Cobb_(department_store) Cobbs department store]. Possibly it's associated with the [[Blue Mountain Cafe, SE22 9EU]]. It seats maybe 30, mostly at wooden tables and chairs inside. They have a very small, covered back garden with decking and a few tables. Not clear whether it is intended as a smoking area. There is also seating, at several tables, out the front. Shelves along one side have a variety of groceries for sale: olive oil, fruit, coffee, wine, bread etc. [[Rowley Birkin QC]] visited late morning/lunchtime on a Friday in April 2019: three staff members were present. There were three or four other customers at first, growing to 10-12. I had an Americano, eggs royale (£8)<small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/171162378@N08/49894093897/ photo]</small>, and Earl Grey tea, all good. The music was mostly reggae, not too loud. The staff were pleasant, attentive, and efficient. There is WiFi, but it's quite weak (and a staff member did volunteer this upfront). In fact, it's so weak that if you want an Internet connection for your laptop it would be better to tether. Child-friendliness: Some high chairs (stored in the back garden). Accessibility: Step up to get in, and a step down into the small back garden. Bit of a squeeze to get into the toilet.
