About Café Crofton Park
Café Crofton Park sits on Brockley Rd as a brunch focused cafe with walls painted in colorful decor and artwork on display. The menu runs from an English breakfast and halloumi paninis to the NYC Platter, chicken and veggie burgers, waffles, and smoked salmon with avocado toast and scrambled eggs, with deep-fried Oreos among the sweeter options. Sides include fried plantain, sweet potato fries and curly fries. Milkshakes come in flavors like pistachio, snickers and Oreo, alongside smoothies such as the passionfruit "pash n shoot," and the hot chocolate arrives with a biscoff biscuit, straw and spoon. Old school R&B and reggae play through the space. Service is walk-in, with no reservations taken. At the entrance, a stopper button at the door gives a reward to anyone who presses it at exactly 03.00.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the NYC Platter and the English breakfast, several praising the "egg cooked to perfection" and portions so filling that some take food home, with the hot chocolate arriving with a biscoff biscuit. Close behind, the milkshakes (Oreo, pistachio, snickers) and smoothies draw repeat mentions, alongside sides like fried plantain and curly fries. Several describe the staff as friendly and the atmosphere as buzzing, with music ranging from reggae to old school rnb. Complaints do surface: one reviewer's smoothie tasted of berries despite ordering passion fruit, suspecting blenders weren't washed fully between flavours, and one detailed visit describes a mixed-up halloumi order, a full English reheated rather than remade after a long wait, and baked beans tasting of washing up liquid, with no staff check-in offered. Against that, another reviewer's overcooked waffle was simply swapped for a fresh one at no extra charge.

“Ordered smoke salmon with avocado toast and scrambled eggs. Nicely presented perfect portions. Fresh orange juice was nice and naturally sweet but too much ice”

“Received amazing service and the food was lovely. They don’t skimp on portions and it’s very clean inside. The only reason it’s not a 5 star, is because I ordered a pash n shoot smoothie and it tasted of berries and I really don’t like berries. This made me think they were reusing the blenders probably rinsing but without washing them fully for different flavours. I couldn’t drink it. Other than that every thing was amazing and I’d come again.”

“By-pass this cafe - and head down to Honor Oak’s Big plate cafe or BB cafe on Forest Hill high street. We were the first customers- the order (halloumi panini for vegetarian friend, halloumi and bacon for another and full english) took time but that’s ok. The panini’s turn up - and the veg halloumi one has tuna in the salad. We think maybe just a prep mistake so don’t say anything. The full English turns up five minutes later (why we were the first customers can’t you manage to cook at the same time?).Toast comes a few minutes later - again why? It should come together?. But now the tepid breakfast is now cold. We ask for it to be redone - and serve together with hot toast. Asked for an additional coffee which was brought out - and the only quick thing to come for all the breakfast was the lady asking for payment. A new plate comes - everything at once - but it was clearly not remade from scratch just everything reheated from original plate. That should have been a warning to me. Because it’s been reheated, most things tough on the plate. And the pot of baked beans tastes of washing up liquid - very badly. Should have asked for a refund but honestly the fact they couldn’t be bothered to come out and check everything was alright after the first issues - shows level of customer service. And reheating when they should have done from scratch… Avoid - go to big plate next to the Chandos or bb’s in Forest Hill for a delicious English breakfast served with a smile.”
