New Deptford Cafe Is Bringing Sunshine To South London

Following a stint spent working in cafes and bars in Australia, Londoner Rachael Dalton-Loveland has returned home and she's brought Deptford's freshest brunching spot with her. Located on the site of the former Deptford High Street Subway, this gorgeous little cafe-bar has certainly upped its sandwich game, offering open-faced salmon, mascarpone and caper varieties, and even a mouth-watering brie, walnut, rosemary and maple syrup. The kitchen also serves up a range of salads and breakfast bowls, alongside an evening menu of tasty sharing platters and locally-sourced cheese and charcuterie.

Bringing a mish-mash of colourful interior details, you'll get a taste of more tropical locales, particularly if you opt for a spot of al fresco dining in the Cuban-inspired courtyard which is no doubt going to be a huge hit this summer.
