  “The coffee here was fantastic. I got a flat white, americano and banana bread. Flat white was made to perfection. However, the best part was the service. Alice was very friendly and we had a nice chat about coffee. The place felt very welcoming and everything was served at the highest standard despite coming 10 minutes before closing.”

  “Super weird experience here. The staff got very hostile when we checked what type of milk was used for a coffee as there was an allergy. They got extremely confrontational and tried to argue with us after redoing the drink. I've visited quite a few times since the coffee is super good, but each time the staff have always been off putting and this time kinda sealed the deal. Friends have had similar negative experiences and now avoid this place too. Owner seems like a nice guy so it's a shame this doesn't get translated through the staff. Mistakes happen and it's completely fine when handled properly...hopefully they'll learn how to be kinder to customers in the future.”

  “If you’re anywhere near Deptford station, you need to seek out Elsewhere Coffee Roastery and Brew Bar. Tucked just a few steps away from the platform, this place is an absolute dream for coffee lovers. What instantly sets Elsewhere apart is the atmosphere. From the second I walked in, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It doesn't feel like just another transactional cafe; it feels like a neighborhood hub where the team makes you feel like an old friend, whether they are chatting about their on-site roasting process or just checking in on your day. As for the drink,their cold brew is pure perfection. It is exceptionally smooth, beautifully balanced, and completely clear of any bitterness. Served beautifully over ice, it’s exactly what a premium cold brew should be. Sitting outside on a sunny day with a view of their cool, industrial space while sipping an expertly crafted drink is the perfect South East London morning. Incredible hospitality paired with top-tier specialty coffee. 10/10 recommended!”

  “1/2 Day Home Brewing Course: Elsewhere Coffee has brought joy to my mornings this past year so I was delighted to be gifted their half day 'home brewing course' by a friend. In an intimate group setting, we were shown the ins and outs of grinder calibration, 'dialling-in' and extraction and given plenty of opportunity to practise this on their _amazing_ equipment. There was also an in-depth 'cupping' (blind coffee tasting) which left us all feeling enlightened...and buzzed! Would really recommend this to any coffee aficionados.”

  “Fantastic coffee with great notes, nice seating areas inside as well. I would avoid sitting outside, too close to the bins”

  “Ordered a Flat white and I think the beans called daydreamer. Very tasty with a lovely foam. It's behind the high street, actively roasting inside the site. You can also buy coffee beans there.”

  “Amazing coffee, great baristas and a wonderful atmosphere inside. There’s a lot of choice and the brews taste amazing. Personal recommendation: Shimmy Shimmy (Filter) or a Flat White. If you’re in Deptford, check this place out!!”

  “Take this from someone who’s on her 6th Loyalty Card. Their Mocha ( hot or cold) is beyond Amazing - it really does take you Elsewhere. Their staff is AMAZING. Especially, Tom. He brings in a curated experience at Elsewhere- he is very detailed at everything from the way he makes my coffee to the choice of music that creates very chill but warm atmosphere. It’s very rare to see customer service like that- you can easily see that he’s very passionate for coffee and art. AND THAT IS VERY INSPIRING!!!! I love the roasting machine in the background - it makes me feel like I’m part of the process.”

  “I really like Elsewhere, and I buy their coffee beans exclusively. I also drop by occasionally. That said, the interior feels more like a storage or workspace than a café. The industrial vibe is great, but a touch of warmth or comfort would make it feel much more inviting for guests. At the moment it’s tipping too far towards a roasting/office/education space, where guests can feel more in the way than welcomed. It’s also quite cold inside, which only adds to that sense. A bit more guest-focused design could really elevate the experience, and make it more welcoming for the winter months.”

  “5.0 | this is the best coffee shop and coffee in South. such a gem of a spot with some amazing staff and really attentive to customers and take their craft very seriously. honestly in moving to London three months ago, this spot has become a staple. I go multiple times a week, and have never had a bad cup. Elsewhere is also carried at some other great coffee spots in the area so it’s obvious they are also respected and trusted within the coffee world. it’s a dream spot. go!”
