Love the place, love the coffee and food. Visited the place twice for the filter coffee, very good quality and at a very good deal. Tried the freshly made pizza, crispy edge and soft inside. When waiting the pizza, there are some visitors collecting their brioche, a tower like size, very attractive. Will try it next time.

I had an incredibly delicious bahn mi brioche here today. It was so nice I felt I had to write a review (which I rarely do) . The rest of my family had pizza which they all thoroughly enjoyed too. We will definitely be returning soon.

We stopped here while exploring the beautiful park. It’s a cool place with excellent food - pizzas, breakfast baps, cakes etc. All good quality. Plenty of picnic tables outside.

Everything at this cafe is amazing - delicious pizzas, lovely bacon & egg brioche, AMAZING cakes (including one of the best brownies I ever had - the raspberry one - sadly they rarely have it these days; but there’s the fabulous carrot cake!) Service always cheerful and friendly. Bit on the pricey side but you’re paying for quality, so I don’t mind.

Nice little spot in the park court yard brilliant for dog walkers and visitors. Nice menu serves stone baked pizzas with a few to choose from. Breakfast buns and a nice selection of drinks. Ice cream counter that also serves special dog ice creams. Very nice staff all the food is fresh and they have a selection of cakes and bakery goods. Well worth a stop

Their pizza special with aubergine, feta and leeks might be some of the best pizza I have ever had! All I can say is I hope they will make it a staple on their menu!

Who would have thought that the best Pizza in London would be in a park in Beckenham?! The doughy is impossibly light, fluffy and yet also crisp - super high quality ingredients and sooo delicious. Their special with the leeks and aubergine and feta is probably the best pizza I’ve ever enjoyed and needs to become a regular on their menu or I don’t know what I’d do! This was the first place I went after having a baby, just superb 10/10. The staff are all super friendly and kind. Also a very good carrot cake!
