Reviews of Old Spike

J. P.

Outstanding coffee and outstanding staff! Best in the area for sure! I started coming here more regularly while working from home and it's certainly been one of the biggest positives of lockdown. Andrés has certainly made lockdown more cheerful and I always really look forward to his coffee and energy. It feels like a treat everytime!

Old Spike is a great little place with friendly service and quality coffee. I'm looking forward to coming back for a refill of coffee beans using my own container, as they provide five different types of beans and a scale to measure. I'm only giving 4 stars because the portion size of the coffee is a bit small and that is only one option, in addition to the cinnamon roll I got there. Maybe I'm not used to this different style but it was pretty dry and almost sour, somehow. I was also disappointed in their mocha, which is just the additional of cocoa powder. I know this is how some cafés make them but it's still tasteless to me.

Great coffee for a good cause. Plus very friendly hospitality ❤️ This place is always my go-to coffee shop in Peckham.

O. M.

Brilliant little place. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff/owner and even tiny roaster in the cafe. V small but pack with decent stuff -even crosstown doughnuts! Def worth a visit

M. C.

I have been going to Old Spike Roastery for almost a year now since I moved to Peckham. I have been to a lot of coffee shops in the Peckham Rye area, this is by far my favourite. The coffee is excellent and Andres and the rest of the staff are always friendly and helpful. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Z. E.

Amazingly well roasted and brewed coffee and social enterprise too - whilst being cheaper than quite a few similar places. How do they do it?!

J. P.

Very friendly and always get a fantastic coffee. Never disappointed, thank you

N. S.

Amazing coffee shop in Peckham! Awesome values and the coffee is so good. Bought some beans too, they kindly ground the coffee and it's packaged beautifully! Great gift for a coffee lover.

M. B.

Visited this coffee shop yesterday and it was honestly the best latte i've had for a very long time! If you haven't been here, you should definitely go! On a separate but related note - I had actually forgotten my wallet and didn't relailse until it was time to pay. The man working, very kindly offered me the coffee on the house (if I promised that I would return). I can most definitely say that I will be back and will repay the kind gesture. Thanks again!

s. s.

Best coffee in south london and they support a very good cause.

l. a.

A smashing cup of coffee & awesome staff. In these Covid-19 times my local coffee shop has taken on a new significance (as have other local shops) and coming here for a delicious coffee and having a lovely chat with Andrés or Kat really makes my day!! There’s a great genuine friendliness to Old Spike and they do know their coffee. Love the cinnamon buns too.

J. M.

Best coffe in the area!!! Exce customer service... only one coffe machine

P. T.

Small, coffee focused shop. No food available here but the coffee speaks for itself. Their filter is delicious.

T. C.

Old Spike is amazing. We've been going here for 4/5 years now and have never been dissapointed. The coffee is second to none and the staff are all absolutely lovely.

e. t.

The coffee is great and served quickly. The staff is very friendly. Place is small and cozy, narrow shaped; there are a few sittings inside and a bench for 3 outside. You can buy fresh coffee beans and there are some croissants and donuts to have.

M. H.

Best coffee in Peckham. Great service, staff are always friendly and they do great things with their profits. Good community place.

C. Y.

Love the coffee, employees are way too slow serving. Two days in a row I've stood around waiting only to leave empty handed, today in the rain while the male employee flirts with the young lady he serving. He then proceeds to sit and folds his arms and continues talking with her while staring at me. Having poured coffee for a living in the past I find his attitude towards me appalling, was it because I'm dressed like a builder and not up to his standards I believe so. Now I have to go with no coffee, but I'm left questioning if I'll go back or drink inferior coffee from somewhere else.

A. S.

Loved the filter coffee and my friend liked his flat white. Will definitely visit again if in the area even though they have competition from Nola now.

P. E.

I was keen to try this place... Its a cool little cafe at the more picturesque end of Peckham. It wasn't busy when I visited but I can imagine is a cool little hang out. It is open plan with seating around the edge of the cafe. The girl who served me was very friendly and definitely into her coffee. I enjoyed my Flat White. A relaxed vibe and worth a visit. Side note: the cafe just a bit up the road uses Old Spike coffee... :)

D. C.

I have visited this place a few times now and love the coffee, no bitterness or burnt flavours and also really rate the hot chocolate. I love the fact that my drinking coffee here is supporting homeless people to have a job/ training and a career. Lastly, I think the staff are great especially Lucy who is one of the nicest people ever! Thank you, you are doing an amazing job.

Z. S.

Had a great flat white. Great coffee shop. Socially conscious as well. They train up homeless people to work in the coffee shop so they can gain skills and jobs 😃😃😃

S. D.

Nice staff, super coffee ☕ 👌

M. F.

Brilliant social enterprise, offering the finest coffee on town with all profits reinvested into the social mission of helping homeless people back into employment. Check out the roasters in the corner, amazing but of kit. They roast all their coffee on site. Brilliant staff and they offer subscription service to their coffee. Love it.

J. P.

Delicious coffee, full rounded flavour and made properly! The person serving was also lovely. Will definitely return when I'm back in the area

D. L.

Nice, small coffee shop just off Peckham Rye. They don't do pastries etc, but if you're after a quick coffee, this is a very good place to go. Would recommend. I believe they also support homeless people on ways back in to work, which makes it all the more worthwhile.

N. F.

Cute little coffee shop that's 100% not-for-profit (all money goes to local homeless people). Excellent coffee - they know what they're doing and roast on-site, and you can have filter or espresso based drinks. Great brownies too - salted caramel or Oreo?!?! It's small though, with seating space for about 8 people... - Nina | Have You Heard Of It? HYHOI | London food & fitness recommendations

A. E.

Fantastic service - we order their coffee for our office and they are super efficient and so helpful, as well as providing us with delicious coffee beans that everyone loves! Can't recommend them highly enough.

D. (.

Great service. I love dropping in here for a chat with Jonnie. They do great coffee and support homeless people with a return to work through their coffee cart service in the City. Well worth supporting. Lucie on Saturdays makes super coffee and the cinnamon scrolls are a once a week treat.

N. H.

Ordered mocha and espresso, espresso tasted great and had a nice nutty aftertaste. Mocha was done with oat milk, it was nice and I could taste the coffee but the chocolate was a bit underwhelming and I suspect it wasn't using actual milk/dark chocolate but rather cocoa powder or similar.

v. r.

Lovely staff. Great outreach programs for the homeless. Very cheap for what you get i would highly recommend for anyone in the area, to be honest i would recommend to any coffee lovers who come to London.

I. Y.

Brief Saturday afternoon coffee tour of Peckham kicked off at old spike Kind of wished it was the end, no where else in the area bested the flat white here (I had to have a second). A sound ethic too to the business model. No real home comforts here, but you'll be going for the coffee won't you? In which case there will be no disappointments.

M. M.

Near the Peckham Rye, where William Blake had his vision of paradise, lie coffee roasters of experience. Thomas, a friendly ninja, both light of footstep and deft of hand with V60, made me a nice brew and insisted upon it being done the proper way. It tasted good. Best cup in peckham. Maybe London, even. They roast their own beans and sell them and give homeless people jobs. Do I need to go on? Probably not. Do you need to go there? Definitely, yes.

I. P.

The best coffee on the Rye! Customer service is excellent and the manager is always super friendly! Thank you

M. W.

A splendid cup of coffee, made with care and passion by the friendly and knowledgable team at Old Spike. The coffee, atmosphere and service is the best around and is a key spot to pop by for a chat, get work done and wile away the hours.

T. J.

Best coffee in Peckham, they put back a lot into the community so we'll worth supporting

Y. L.

Great coffee and friendly good vibes on top of being a social enterprise (unlike some of the pretentious overpriced cafes in the hood ahem)

C. B.

Excellent coffee. Friendly people. Enjoy your coffee in peace or get involved in a chat - it's your choice. It's now my go-to place to buy beans to grind at home

H. M.

Best coffee in Peckham hands down, and for a good cause too! Super friendly staff.

P. D.

Very good coffee. Agonisingly slow service due to lack of staff.

C. S.

Best coffee in Peckham - and with a good ethos too. A great social enterprise that has quickly become my go-to. Staff are very welcoming & friendly.

N. L.

To me it's a toss up between the Spike, Soho Grind and AllPress for some of the consistently best coffee in London. If you like your coffee with a nutty flavour then go try it and take a bag or two home with you.

J. K.

What can I say other than wow! Finally an amazing coffee shop in Peckham that offers great coffee with an amazing service. Tom knows his coffee and is always a pleasure to buy from.

M. R.

Always fantastic coffee, and wonderful friendly service. Great place and ethically sourced too.

R. D.

GREAT COFFEE DOING GOOD. Obviously coffee focused retail unit, minimal in offer, so don't expect it to be like your normal cafe environment. Went for a coffee stayed for the chat. 😉

H. G.

Great coffee served by lovely people. End of

M. H.

The best possible place to get perfectly roasted coffee and a superb cappuccino! Friendly staff, delicious doughnuts and freshly baked bread. Wifi available. Great bonus of helping the community...

J. J. W.

Best coffee in Peckham. They also do a coffee subscription so we get it delivered to our house (ground or whole bean). Friendly staff as well.

A. “. H.
