Crespidia 48 Anerley Hill, London SE19 2AE

"3 of us discovered this hidden gem on Anerly Hill today. At first you're met with a visual array of eclectic vintage items. Dotted around are lots of gifts to buy and as you study the space, this becomes more apparent. It feels like someone's front room and you begin to feel at ease. Then we were met with a fantastic menu of many enticing dishes. We opted for Buttermilk pancakes with natural yoghurt, maple syrup and berries, scrambled egg & crispy bacon on sour dough and homemade brioche French toast with bacon, banana and maple syrup. We had lattes and flat white coffee which. All were devourer and not a complaint was heard from any of us! We then spied the vast selection of home baked goodies and we decided to take home: Flourintine, blonde brownie, orange polenta cake and a huge coconut macaroon. We are discussing what to have the next time we go. Part of me wants to keep Crespidia to myself but it's really too good not to share! Visit, you won't be disappointed."

"First visit to Crespidia on this beautiful Sunday morning and I wasn't disappointed. Beautiful interior design using lots of reclaimed furniture, each table was different. The coffee was perfect, nice and strong. Excellent choice of cakes and pastries. I'm already planning my next visit!"

"Visited today based on good reviews. It's a very quirky place with some wacky decor! Ordered a special BLT sandwich for me and an halloumi wrap for my daughter. Plus a lovely cuppa and freshly squeezed orange juice. All very delicious and I loved the bacon and mustard mayo in my sandwich but it wasn't till later that I realised that it was just a bacon sandwich. No L and no T !!! What happened my lettuce and tomato? Lady dealing with orders was friendly but the gentleman not so much. Overall a good cafe but its quite pricey."

"It took us a while to check out this place but since we did a few months ago, we have become regulars. The interior is very welcoming and if you enjoy feasting your eyes on lots of little curiosities like plants, artwork, vintage cups and saucers then you'll enjoy this place. There's some gorgeous vintage clothing as well, reasonably priced too. It has a lovely atmosphere which is created by the owners who are welcoming and engaging. There are many homemade cakes and pastries for me to have but those I have tried I enjoy and keep going back for. If you appreciate a good sausage roll you'll find this to be the best in the area! Do I spend too much of my money in this cafe? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Besides, you can always walk off a few pounds across the road in the park, when you eventually get around to leaving."
