Local Love & Laid-Back Vibes – Arlo & Moe, 340 Brockley Road, SE4 Tucked into the heart of Brockley, Arlo & Moe HG (short for Hilly Fields’ “Hare & Giraffe” location) is a neighbourhood café that’s earned a loyal following for its friendly service, comforting food, and relaxed atmosphere.
The vibe is bright and cheerful, with mismatched furniture, local art, and a lived-in charm that makes it feel like a second living room. It’s the kind of place where kids are welcome, dogs are adored, and regulars are greeted by name.
The menu is simple but satisfying, with a focus on breakfast, brunch, and light lunch:
French toast, often praised as a standout
Poached eggs, sourdough toast, and bacon butties
Homemade cakes, banana bread, and pastries
Great coffee, plus teas, juices, and hot chocolate
