You don't bring me flowers. You don't sing me love songs. You hardly talk to me anymore when you…read morecome through the door at the end of the day.... What a genius idea it was to name this flower shop after the classic 70s broken-hearted ballad! I doubt there is any better way to guilt people in to a shop than letting the words of Neil Diamond float around their heads for a while. If you don't bring your loved one flowers then 1) shame on you and 2) maybe you should visit this shop. It's not just flowers in here but a whole range of gifts and cakes. There is a small cafe at the back of the shop too where you can reward yourself after buying your loved one a nice present. Tea is served in beautiful china pots and their cakes are delicious. The flowers themselves are range from the very exotic to the more well known varieties and are all wrapped beautifully. Maybe it would be worth suggesting to my boyfriend that we move to Lewisham for him to get the hint and buy me something from here!

Just your general cafe, I stopped here for a spot of lunch in between work. As most cafe's do there…read morewas a vast range of meals to choose from but I opted for a good ole fry up. The staff here were friendly and attentive. The tea wasn't the best but I usually expect this from general cafe's.

The menu is extensive for such a small place and prices are very reasonable though not cheap. You need to be tolerant of loud baby screams.

It is definitely the best cup of coffee I had in London!!! If you happen to see their stand somewhere do not hesitate and try their coffee, it is a must!!!

Stumbled upon this coffee stall few weeks ago, and was astonished to see somewhere selling coffee…read morein Lewisham. And what a cup of coffee it was, using Monmouth beans on the espresso, and offering single origins on the drip coffee, it was brilliant, very silky sweet milk and a beautiful flower on the top. Have told all my friends and I frequent each saturday as a standard now. The buddha on the stall is a nice touch, and the two people running it are evidently passionate, informative, friendly and can make brilliant coffee. A must go :)

Most people will come because it has a fairly good spot near to the heath, which made me wonder why…read moreI didn't just get something to take away and sit on the heath, rather than enjoy the sliver of view that this cafe has of it. My friend had a salmon bagel which was fine by all accounts. The service was not great, the coffee was fine, the jacket potato was MICROWAVED, the cheddar on it wasn't melted. If I wanted a mediocre potato I would have microwaved it at home myself.

Jenny's is a nice place to go for a coffee or for some burger and chips. I brought my niece and…read morenephew here, as a treat for them that would also be something a bit different from the usual McDonalds fare. We were given very good helpings of chips and the burgers were a good size. Last time I was there, I had some apple pie which was simply gorgeous! You can go to Jenny's to eat in or to takeaway food. If you decide to eat in the environment is simple and clean. It is a family-run business and it has a really nice and welcoming atmosphere. Jenny's have been in business for years, so they clearly know what they are doing to satisfy customers.

Sweets and savories in the window beg one to come in for a visit…read more However, once inside, it's not too clear, initially, what or how one orders. If you're behind a crowd, then just follow their lead and all will become right. After months of wanting to snag an outside table, the bf and I were fortunate enough to do so on a Sunday afternoon. This was our first foray into HMF. I went in to order cakes and lattes, pay and then return to my perch on the pavement. The place, fortunately, wasn't so busy, so the goodies arrived in fairly short order. The carrot cake, moist and not overly spiced, was a treat to eat. The Victoria sponge cake, looking so good in the window, was not tasting so good in the mouth. The decorative strawberry that had been on the slice that eventually made it to our table (indentation where berry bit had been, slightly reddish stain on the whipped cream) was absent upon arrival. More importantly, the sponge cake itself was quite dry and the whipped cream layer was meager with nary a strawberry to be seen there either. Word to the wise: it's a great-looking cake, but not so great to eat. Well, at least not the one that was out when we came strolling in. The lattes, though not of 'third wave' coffee caliber, were good, and, more importantly, neither too hot, nor too cold. I'd be keen on trying breakfast there as the eggs, sausages, and tomatoes being consumed by those sitting near us looked scrumptious. Well, let's hope that they taste as good as they look!

Probably the best part of my last visit to London in 2009. Heck, Europe! this little jewel was…read moreamazing. I ordered a bacon sandwich and an earl grey tea latte...
