Nido Cafe

Nido is a friendly neighbourhood coffee spot on Melbourne Grove in East Dulwich, a short stroll from the station, built around the idea of a little nook for everyone. It serves coffee from Assembly, the Brixton roaster, in everything from silky flat whites to batch brew, in a cosy room made for catching up with friends or settling in with a book.

Beyond the bar, Nido works as a small local hub, with shelves of handmade mugs, candles and produce from nearby makers, and occasional showcases from local artists. Each week the Melbourne Grovers run club sets off from the door, with no pressure and no pace, and finishes back over coffee. It closes at two, so this is a morning and early afternoon place.
