The Rookery Cafe

I think this is actually pretty exceptional for a park cafe and wish we had the same in our local parks. The food and presentation is most definitely above and beyond other local parks including big parks like Beckenham Place Park and Crystal Palace. I guess it comes down to personal taste and preferences but I found their breakfast offering exceptional. If you want a decent cooked breakfast that is countryside fresh come here. I think for some the breakfast needs to be larger but for me it was perfectly sized. I do agree that the staff need to be more welcoming. I hope that visitors to the cafe can bare with the cafe in finding its feet and finding good staff.

Lovely cafe with friendly and helpful staff. The coffee is absolutely delicious as are their hot chocolates. They have a great menu with a range of options including plenty of veggie things, and clearly use high quality ingredients. A great place to stop as you wander around the common and Rookery gardens.

The place is very nice , the coffee a little expensive than other places but nice taste and flavour, you need to eat the lemon poppy seeds muffin is amazing. Service is nice but the coffee takes to much time to be ready. Sometimes the barista is chatting or going slowly around the coffee area , waiting time is even 10 min for one simple coffee.
