This place is a hidden gem of Woolwich. It’s nice and clean, many good options for food on the menu, and the prices are very affordable! The cafe offers freshly squeezed orange juice which is really good! I have to say that the owner is a remarkable person, he made an act of kindness towards me which was much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure it's possible to do a greasy spoon wrong, but this cafe gets it absolutely right. A good long menu with all the options. Or food came out quick and hot. The service was friendly, the place was spotless. All in all a good one

Really good. The owner? is very nice, though always rushed(he's the only one out front). Had breakfast here twice, it's great, filling and inexpensive. Recommend!

Decent tasty food at reasonable price with good service. One note tables suitable for singles and small groups, we were 3 so it was great but if we came, in full force of 10 might be an issue.

What a great place for a breakfast! We travel down from west Scotland this time every year to see family, staying in the Woolwich Arsenal area. Last year, a friend recommended the café and he was spot on, and we've been back this week. Simple fare done excellently (particularly the bacon!) with lovely staff and a friendly atmosphere. We'll be back next year and hopefully try some lunchtime meals. UPDATE - had lunch instead of breakfast on our final day. Just as delish! Dave and Samantha xx

Good prices, tasty food, nice coffee. Cozy private seating. The mocha was nice and chocolatey and not too sweet. The chicken tikka panini was a good size and delicious. The red cake was nice and fruity. The staff are friendly and I hung out here for a bit on a late night layover

I was hesitant upon entering this cafe but oh my gosh, I finally come to the realisation that you should never judge a book by its cover. Upon entering the cafe, I was greeted right away. Then and there, I thought this service is better than novikov and sexyfish combined. Adding to that, I got myself a coffee. Tasted like sweet clouds oozing down my oesophageas and settling in the unseen gaps of my belly. All jokes aside, coffee was amazing, service was amazing, and price was perfect, would defo recommend!

The building's atmosphere and furnishings are very cool. I have been here several times with my family, and it was almost always full in the evenings, but we found a place anyway. The food is delicious, most of the time - as I'm not English - we eat the traditional fish and chips. (In June, I ate tomato soup, which was more of a sauce, but the other dishes were still fair.) I think, the service fee is very high, there are usually five of us. Next time I will be traveling to Woolwich in October, it is likely that I will be their guest again. Worth a try!!!

Absolutely loved my first British Pub experience at Dial Arch in Woolwich. We came in late after trying a couple other places without success and we came in and they still had roast 🥰 And y'all - it was delicious. We had the pork and the chicken roasts and they were 10/10. The gravy. The Yorkshire pudding! The deliciousness of the falling off the bone roasted meats. And shout out to Claudia for recommending we slather everything in the garlic mayo. It. Was. So. Good. And we finished up with the sticky toffee pudding. Highly recommend you come here, kick back with delicious food, throw down some pints and relax. It'll be worth your time and money!

Sat down and ordered from the app, the place was busy but feel like they needed more staff or just a bit more attentive as most of the tables were dirty (covered in salt) and sticky / not cleared. Food was tasty but drinks took 25mins to arrive from app, food took 40mins. Lovely vibe but needs more staff probably.

The food was beautiful. The roast beef was so succulent. The banoffee mess didn't look like I expected, but outweighed all taste expectations. The only note I would add is that a DISCRETIONARY tip of 12.5% was added, and asked for by the waitress when we chose to still tip, but tip less than the 12.5%.

I'm genuinely pleased with both the food and the service here. Beers, chicken and fish & chips were all spot on. The service is kind and welcoming. What a retreat after a long day! This place definitely deserves a solid 4.5 and I'm happy to give 5!

My friend live in this area and always wanted to try , they have amazing bakery and very tight space! The tables are first come first serve so might have to wait a bit for tables. Overall the experience was really good! I love the fresh bakeries and cakes and they have a range of breakfast and pancake and egg Benedict. I went for a full English and my friend went for a egg royal which was really nice. I love the custom sauces that they have. If i had more time would stay longer and chat but it was so busy but overall great experience and pet friendly

I visited today for a late breakfast, and I was not disappointed. I had the full breakfast and an oat latte. I chose poached eggs for mine, and this was one of the most delightful full breakfast platters I’ve had in a long time. The coffee is delicious, too. I’m vision impaired, and the staff were quick to ensure I had all the help I needed, and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy with my meal. Thank you!

A very lovely corner cafe, bakery, breakfast, lunch place all mixed into one :) it hosts a wide range of wonderfully made dishes and small sweet treats that accompanies the wonderful cup of coffee you can get for both takeaway and dine in. I can see its laptop friendly however it doesn’t host as many chargers which is fair given that it’s a smaller space and would benefit more from having shorter than long visits from those wishing to stay long and study there. Overall the place has a medium price range but the quality is absolutely above and beyond with the staff being super friendly and always amazing. It’s always a pleasure to visit this spot from time to time :)

I had a wonderful experience at this charming independent shop. The ambiance is peaceful and inviting. I would rate the coffee a perfect 10/10—it’s truly exceptional! The food and sweets are delightful, and there’s a great selection of snacks. I enjoyed the chicken panini, which was quite tasty. The coffee is particularly impressive, with the perfect temperature and frothing. I highly recommend this place!

It is a very bright atmosphere cafe, freshly baked pastries and sandwiches , pizzas. Coffee is also great quality. Seatings are very comfortable 😌 I wish the service was more inviting from the older fellow working there , smile more !!!! It brought my mood down when I approached with a smile to him and just got a downward facial expression , and just an awkward silence after saying hi to each other . Apart from that all the staff is very friendly girls ☺️

Lovely family owned restaurant so nice and polite and attentive. Plus didn’t even charge for my drink. My go-to for lunch and will definitely bring cash to tip.

We had lunch at the cafe during our visit to the Oxleas Woods. Cafe is a minutes walk from the car park- so it is easily accessible. Fairly priced menu. It seems to be very popular- and has loads of seating indoors and outdoors. Long waiting queue to order food- but it was delivered quickly at our table- the meal was simple yet delicious. We had ordered Mexican burger, and toasted ciabatta. Both served hot and fresh. Dogs are allowed within the outer premises of the cafe- but not indoors. The staff were kind and polite.

We stopped by this coffee spot while walking in Oxleas Woods for a takeaway coffee and were pleasantly surprised! The place has an amazing view if you choose to sit outside, and while the inside was busy (it was lunchtime), we were able to order our coffee quickly. The flavor was great, and the price was quite reasonable compared to most London coffee spots. Definitely worth a stop!

Good service and reasonably priced menu for the location. The premises are undergoing refurbishment and they are working alongside that issue. Lots of parking when I was there. Good menu choices and a truly excellent double espresso. A really great location with lovely views and great place to walk the dog or family.

Contemporary minimalism well suited for this location in one of the numerous heritage buildings in former historical armament research and development site. A menu offering limited brunch, pastry/cake and “small plates” choices still manages to touch base across the dietary spectrum. Alcohol served. Staff, industry adept, efficient and effective. Pleasant.

The location is Amazing and dog friendly also. Staff is as nice :) We went for breakfast 🍳 Even though it looked nice the food for me I couldn’t even finish as didn’t enjoy it at all. I should of picked something else. I had the sourdough bread with avocado and poached egg. The bread I could hardly cut through, the Egg was so small and hardly anything to it and the avocado had so much lemon in it I just couldn’t eat it all. The Iced coffee was nice though. All the other breakfasts that were coming out looked nice so maybe give them a go.

A beautifully renovated historic place to while away a few hours in a roomy space with light music, away from the elements. The brownie was melt-in-your-mouth excellent — recommend — but the Bakewell cake too grainy with coconut flakes for my taste. The yellow canaries on the wall are a nod to the women who worked here making artillery.

On my 1st visit the food was great we went on a weekend had the breakfast with scrambled eggs was good quality produce which was why was happy to pay extra for quality. 2nd visit they took our order to the wrong table and was sat waiting and had to ask where our breakfast with scrambled eggs was. They was quick to rectify and offered a free cake as a sorry for the mixup which was a great quality banana bread. 3rd visit I think the chef has changed we ordered the breakfast with scrambled egg and it arrived looking white and yellow unappealing not mixed and looked like been microwaved so sent back and then arrived perfect. Well today we went during the week and asked for scrambled egg we sent it back 3 times and gave up asking for a refund. How hard is it to mix eggs instead of delivering unappealing white scrambled egg with touches of yellow. Sorry the quality has really gone down hill £6.70 all they had to do was mix the eggs. Even a cheap cafe mix the eggs. The waitress knew what we wanted but the chef just did not. No apology when got refund. So not the usual service was great when they 1st opened. Not sure I would go back to eat again unfortunately.

Great atmosphere, respectful quiet vibe for people who want to work and not be disturbed. Nice rnb jams playing in the background at a decent level. Haven’t had much food other than the lemon courgette pistachio and carrot cake. Which were to die for 😍😍😍 10/10 Young black man who served me was very friendly and attentive. Have recommended to my partner as they like to go to coffee shops to study/work. This seems like a great fit.
