Mouse Tail Coffee

A small bakery and coffee shop right outside Deptford station, Mouse Tail Coffee serves the kind of tempting, freshly baked pastries that’ll have you demolishing a cinnamon roll in five short, doughy-cinnamon-filled minutes. You’ll find it hard to pick one thing from the display of bakes, which ranges from sourdough loaves, to ham and emmental cheese sandwiches, and coconut pain au chocolats. The excellent pastries make us wish it was our local bakery and we're very jealous of anyone who happens to live within walking distance. It’s the perfect spot to pop in for a casual one-on-one coffee and croissant catch-up, where you can peek into the kitchen and see them shaping loaves and pulling blueberry muffins out of the oven, or for a 3pm banana bread pick-me-up. It’s open until 6pm so bringing your laptop and getting work done is very much an option. Although it can get a little busy so we wouldn’t recommend jumping on a Zoom call.
