"This is a beautifully located cafe at the top of Hilly Fields in Brockley, with a great view.I know other reviewers disagree but I 've always found the staff helpful and friendly, even at busy times. The choice of food is good, with hot sandwiches, soups, coffee, ice cream and more. The venue occasionally hosts concerts/other events and is genuinely a wonderful community hub for Brockley. You can see that the owners and staff work hard to make it a friendly, welcoming place.Two downsides:1. Maybe it 's just me, but I always find the prices here rather high, particularly for baked goods/pastries. Today, for example, a brownie square (about 1cm x 1cm x 2cm) was for sale at £1.60. Croissants etc are £3 plus. Coffee and a small toasted sandwich £6.50. 2. Child friendly is an understatement. Perhaps because of the area 's demographics, the ratio of babies:dogs:adults is usually very skewed in favour of the former. That means that if you are one/two adults looking for a place to chat, this cafe may not deliver. There is literally non stop screaming, crying, Tarquin, put down that hummus! etc. Families may be the cafe 's main customer base (and more power to them), but if you 're looking for somewhere quiet to read the paper, work, chat or anything else this (unfortunately) is probably not the best place to do it."
