Fabulous little independent café on Queens Road offering a nice selection of drinks, sandwiches, and cakes. The interior is cosy, but not claustrophobic. They also sell a variety of products from local suppliers - which make for lovely gifts. I had a latte, which was very good, and the Pear, Chocolate & Cardamom Cake which was divine! Service was excellent - I was made to feel very welcome, and I love that the café is dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Well & Fed has excellent coffee from Mission Coffee Works! They also have a cute La Marzocco Espresso Machine that I haven’t seen before. Overall, they pull an excellent flat white around Peckham and is a great place to hang out. I personally haven’t tried beans from Mission Coffee Works before but it was very delicious!

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!

Super friendly staff, I had an amazing flat white, rich in flavour and creamy. They have a good selection of delicious treats, and the atmosphere inside the shop is warm and welcoming. Very happy to have this place as my local coffee shop. You're doing amazing guys 🫶🏻

I stopped here for a coffee. The vibe here is nice, and the staff are friendly. I initially wanted food as well, but they only sell deli things which I wasn't in the mood for. There is indoor and outdoor seating and wellness food to purchase. The coffee was good, I had an iced latte. I'll revisit for that.

Also they offered me alternative milk without me having to ask. There was lovely looking sourghdough bread and cakes!! Next time. Very clean modern with a homely feel!

Beautifully made Italian place, offering fantastic food (all made in their kitchen) and plenty of goods from Italy (for those who know or miss it. I love coming here, to feast my taste buds and my eyes... The ambient is so warm and natural here.

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!

Honestly the best wrap in London hands down! Come and get your wraps now and you won’t be disappointed. I would highly recommend the chicken and halloumi mixed and the best part is that it only cost £8. With fresh bread as well, great value for money. Shoutout to the staff, amazing costumer service, never fails to make a delicious wrap.

The food is amazing!! We got a falafel wrap and a kofta wrap and a) they were both sooo delicious with lots of flavour b) the portions were big and fulfilling and c) the bread was freshly made! Really amazing place honestly and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend grabbing something from here and we will be going back to try something else from their menu.

Possibly the best falafel or halloumi wraps in London. I always ask them to decide which sauces to apply and they may be different each time but they are always delicious!!

Small but makes an impact, felt very cosy and taken care of. Had the croissant with beans and cheese which was UNREAL, seriously recommend. Coffee was decent but wouldn’t specifically go for their coffee. Just a lovely place with great people.

A lovely little coffee shop that’s easy to miss if you're just walking by. Tucked inside Holdrons Arcade, the shop offers limited seating but has a warm and cozy atmosphere. The music was good, and the owner was very welcoming. They offer a variety of pastries and breakfast items, all of which looked fresh and delicious. I ordered an oat latte—it was smooth, with just the right balance of coffee, making for a great-tasting drink. The only downside was the price, for Peckham it shouldn't be £4 for a latte! If you're local and in need of a caffeine fix or some tasty vegan options, this place is worth a visit.

Staff is incredibly welcoming and kind. The atmosphere is very aesthetic and, although there is not much seating, it was quick to get a seat. I wasn’t expecting it to be vegan but I really enjoyed the breakfast muffin. The coffee was good.

Great little cosy place for a takeaway coffee or to sit down and relax a bit. Coffee was really good and,for once, not burnt! They have a food selection as well but did not try this time around. Nice music selection and cool vibe. Prices are in my opinion too high though. I understand the hipster vibe and the small place, but a black coffee to drink in should not be above 2.5£.. especially in Peckham. Aside from that it was a lovely experience.. might come back

I love this place. It's exactly what this part of Peckham needed. Fantastic coffee, delicious pastries and sandwiches, and the cooked lunches (lasagna, meatballs etc) are fantastic. Lovely owners who are also using the space for community events. Get yourself down there you won't be disappointed.

It's been quite a few years since my last visit. I ordered two bacon and egg rolls then paid for them. I sat at a table reading a newspaper but within what seemed a few mins my order was given to me in a brown paper bag. I said thank you and made my way home. I took a roll out of the bag which was nicely wrapped then my jaw hit the ground as the roll was massive. I wasn't sure if I'd manage two. Strangely enough I did manage both and they were delicious.

And they also serve kids coffee so if you have a kid you can get kids coffee for them if they want it but also what I want to say the food is absolutely amazing. Like amazing. Like why would you not want? It is so good there is nothing bad about this place. I actually really love it. Like what the heck is people say no.I don't like it actually the best.And I actually made friends with one of the staff members.So yeah, the stars.Yeah, they're the best.I hidden diamond lie just found crossroads roads calf ♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️ Best place i've ever been to

Really wanted to try out a different cafe instead of our usual one. So glad we did! I ordered on deliveroo Chicken Escalope sandwich and was hoping for the best! In the photo it only shows one half of the sandwich. So glad I did as it was fresh and delicious!! Will be ordering from Crossroads again for sure. My husband ordered a Sausage roll with 3 hash browns which he enjoyed. Cravings satisfied.

It’s places like Crossroads that make me feel hope for the world. This place is perfect. Generous portions, great value for money. If anyone has a flat going in Peckham, let me know because I would relocate to be close to Crossroads.

Lovely stylish cafe, friendly staff, good food. We had a simple coffee party after my daughter's wedding. There were 16 of us. We combined 2 large tables to form a big one. We enjoyed cakes, sandwiches, coffee drinks. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Gayle's.

A very special cafe with an even more special owner. A very recently opened independent Cafe with lots of seating options, big windows which allows plenty of sunlight, and a large selection of homemade food and drink options. Also the best chai latte I've ever had, made by the lovely volunteer batista Levi. The owner makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in, and is always on hand to help or have a good chat. Feels like being at your mum's house. Please please please visit 🙏

There is a barista here who made me the best coffee I ever had. Queer vibes, stripy jumper and shorts. We went back specifically for the coffee but it wasn't as good when someone else made it. Went back a third time to the OG barista and it was just excellent again. I don't understand the science of it but I wish only they would make me coffee. Also I had this cream cheese cinnamon bun and it was fresh and delish. I sat on a stool and the music was nice. Gets very very busy at the weekend, in and out job, no space to chill.

The food is amazing here especially for vegetarian and vegan dishes. I particularly loved the meze platter with ghormeh sabzi hummus and also the honey and sesame halloumi was unbelievable. I really recommend getting the feast which was 6 courses and a drink for £30 each! The owners of the restaurant/shop are also lovely. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area.

Really great food. Lots of vegan options. Recommend the set menu, called the "feat". Six courses, all vegan, including deep fried pitta and harissa, which was the best dish. Especially good for groups with vegans. BYOB, no corkage fee.

A true gem ❤️ The menu is interesting and delicious. The last time I had visited, the rooftop terrace was still being built. Even in the winter, it's such a pretty and relaxing addition. If you're vegan, there's plenty for you to choose and after (or before eating) the shop is great for picking up ingredients to take home.
