Picking up on an old thread, I'm sure others will remember back in 2007 - when house prices were going through the roof, and the roof on the swimming pool was coming down - and somebody had the idea of opening a coffee shop in Forest Hill.
Despite concerns about too much coffee being made available, the opening of the Lemon Grove (now The Butchery) was followed by Toureg (now the Teapot), From the Forest, St Davids, Canvas and Creme, Aga's Little Deli, Two Brothers/The Gym, the new cafe at the pool, and the seasonal cafe in the Horniman Triangle (as well as the one in the museum, and On the Hoof which were already established in 2007).
And now Baggydave's prediction of a coffee shop on the other side of the station (next to Finches) looks like it is not far away. Whether it will serve Dutch coffee is not clear at this time.
