Nola Coffee: A Specialty Coffee Haven in Peckham

Nestled on bustling Rye Lane in Peckham, Nola Coffee has established itself as one of South East London's most beloved coffee destinations. Founded by local couple Anthony and Josephine (who previously toured with their band Oh Wonder), this welcoming café was inspired by their global travels and the comfort they found in neighborhood coffee shops around the world.

Exceptional Coffee & Thoughtful Menu

Nola takes its coffee seriously, using ethically sourced beans from Lucid Coffee Roasters and brewing on their rare Mavam Mach 2 Espresso Machine—one of the few in the UK. Their rotating filter coffee selection showcases different roasters every fortnight, ensuring there's always something new to discover.

The food menu perfectly complements their coffee offerings. Start your day with the signature Nola Plate—featuring sourdough, cultured butter, Cracklebean eggs, avocado, and salsa macha. For lunch, try their popular grilled cheese sandwiches (with optional kimchi for the adventurous) or the curried chickpea challah roll packed with fresh vegetables.

Irresistible Baked Goods

No visit to Nola is complete without sampling their famous cinnamon buns—sticky, sweet, and perfectly layered. Their display counter also tempts with an array of pastries including salted caramel brownies, banana bread, and pistachio-courgette cake. On warmer days, cool down with their Oatly soft serve featuring Colombian espresso and chocolate sauce.

Minimalist Design & Welcoming Atmosphere

The café's interior reflects a thoughtful minimalist aesthetic with light wood, accent lighting, and carefully selected greenery creating a calm, inviting space. Large windows flood the space with natural light, making it an ideal spot to relax with a coffee and watch the world go by on Rye Lane.

Nola has quickly become a community hub in Peckham, known for its friendly service and warm atmosphere. Whether you're stopping by for a quick takeaway coffee or settling in for a leisurely brunch, this neighborhood gem delivers quality and care in everything they serve.
