The cafe will be closing at 1pm today, Wednesday & Thursday due to extreme heat.
We will also keep most of our cooking equipment off all day on these three days.
Wednesday and Thursday will have a nice selection of salads in place of our regular cooked to order menu.
We have lots of lollies, iced coffee and all that good stuff so pop in if you need a refresher!
Thanks for your support!

What people say
The Slade Cafe, located on Plumstead Common Road in London, is a hidden gem that offers much more than just your average coffee shop. This community cafe and event space has been beautifully refurbished from a public toilet and now serves as a cozy tea room and breakfast & brunch restaurant. The head chef Sarah's ability to make everything taste delicious is evident in the Mushroom Pho, which is one of their current specials. This Vietnamese-style dish is crafted with mushroom and vegetable stock, making it light and flavorsome. It's also vegan-friendly!
Their menu features other unique dishes such as West African Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew (veg) and Melanzana Polpette (aubergine) served with homemade tomato ragu & bread. The Cevapi with homemade Ajvar and fluffy pitta is another must-try special that will leave you wanting more.
Apart from their delicious food offerings, The Slade Cafe also boasts of having the best coffee equipment in town. They are currently looking for an experienced Barista to join their friendly team, offering good pay and sociable hours.
The cafe's ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying some alone time while sipping on a cup of coffee or tea. The Slade Cafe truly stands out as a unique destination for anyone looking for great food, excellent coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere in London.
