Servesmiths

Servesmiths runs independent speciality coffee shops around Catford, and the Doggett Road shop sits just around the corner from Catford Bridge Station, an easy detour on a commute. The house blend changes with the seasons and comes from Assembly, the Brixton roastery, and the team prides itself on working with south London suppliers and makers wherever it can. The mood is cosy and unhurried.

A pantry shelf sells Assembly beans alongside bags from favourite guest roasters, plus locally produced goods and gifts that celebrate south London. The kitchen caters for all dietary needs, with vegan and plant based choices made part of the offer. A second shop on Rushey Green has joined the first, and a third is planned at Nunhead station. Hours start early on weekdays and stretch a little later on Saturday.
