Phone: 07512 617431
“Gorgeous little café/restaurant with a great selection of dishes for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I’ve walked past Bake with Monia several times and kept meaning to pop in - and I’m glad I did. I liked everything about this place - the decor, the food, and the staff. I was made to feel very welcome, and I enjoyed listening to the conversations between staff and their regular customers. This is obviously a well loved establishment, and returning customers are always a good sign. I will definitely be returning to try more of their offerings.”

“Came across this wonderful gem while passing through Peckham. Had a lamb kofta wrap and a falafel wrap, both were full of flavour, generous portions and just tasted outright delicious. I can't not mention the bread for the wrap which was made fresh and completed everything. The dips and sauces were the cherry on top. All round amazing!”

Well & Fed
115 Queen's Rd, London SE15 2EZ, UK
Phone: Not available
“I really like this place—it’s a great addition and very much in line with most independent cafes, which is both a positive and an opportunity for improvement. While the overall vibe is inviting, perhaps the café could explore more innovative ways to entice people to visit, making it stand out even more. The food is beautifully presented and tastes as good as it looks, and the coffee is excellent—though it feels like it’s gone in just two sips! Larger cup sizes or alternative portions could really enhance the experience. The staff are warm and friendly, and the atmosphere inside feels cozy and welcoming, making it a nice spot to relax or catch up with friends. The one downside for me is the early closing time of 3 PM. Extending the hours would open up more opportunities to draw in customers during the later afternoon, and it’s the main reason I’ve deducted a star. Overall, a lovely café with lots of potential to grow and become a must-visit spot!”

Nola Coffee
224 Rye Ln, London SE15 4NL, UK
Phone: Not available
“I’ve heard a lot about Nola, so I had to visit and see for myself. The café boasts a lovely aesthetic with a modern and inviting design. However, the vibe could be improved—the music was far too loud and not the type that suits a relaxed café atmosphere. As for the coffee, I had high expectations, especially after hearing about their impressive coffee machine. Unfortunately, the espresso I tried was a bit too acidic for my taste. Perhaps it would have been better with milk or as an Americano. On the other hand, the hot chocolate was exceptional. It’s clear they use high-quality cocoa flakes rather than powder, making it one of the best hot chocolates I’ve had in a while. I also tried the grilled panini, which I had heard good things about. While they used at least two different types of flavorful cheese, there wasn’t enough to balance the thick sourdough bread, which ended up overpowering the sandwich. I opted not to add extras like kimchi, thinking the panini would be sufficient on its own, but in hindsight, more ingredients might have made it more enjoyable. Overall, I wouldn’t classify it as a great cheese panini, and I don’t think I’d order it again. It’s worth noting that there’s no WiFi available, which I suppose aligns with their policy of making space for non-laptop users. This is an interesting model for a café, and I appreciate the concept. The prices are moderate, which is reasonable given the location in Peckham. The staff are quick and lovely, with some baristas even crafting beautiful latte art. The presentation of the drinks is consistently excellent. A lot of people seem to love the cinnamon bun so if you’re unsure what to order, perhaps it will be a good choice.”
