Mouse Tail Coffee Deptford

Right by Deptford station, Mousetail sits in one of the railway arches along the little stretch that’s gradually filled up with newer cafés, bistros, and creative spots. It has that easy, slightly industrial feel, long communal tables, good natural light, and a steady flow of people coming in for takeaway or settling in with laptops. The coffee is very good here. Properly made, not over-roasted, and with enough options for those who care about how their flat white is done. There’s also a small selection of cakes and pastries, all of which looked fresh. If the weather allows, there’s outside seating, which works nicely with the trains rolling past overhead. It’s a straightforward, genuinely pleasant independent café. No fuss, no pretension, just well-made coffee and a relaxed place to sit. Given the choice between this and yet another chain, this is absolutely the one to support.

I use to really love mouse tail, they had delicious pastries and sourdough bread. They’ve now stopped making the bread which is sad and the quality of pastries has significantly declined to the point we stopped going. If you just want a coffee it’s fine and staff are lovely.

Love the choice and quality of coffee. We had cortado and Batch(daily brew). A little pricey with cappuccino at £4.20 outside central London. Sourdough from £5.50 more reasonable. Cakes look great. Very tempting. 👍

My favourite local coffee spot. Warm atmosphere, delicious bake and top notch mission coffee. I often drop by for a a hour of reading or laptop time in the sun

I love coffee and I don't really like going out to get it, so this place is perfect. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. Add to that the great coffee and tea selection and it's a perfect place to relax. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good cup of coffee or tea. Plus they have a wide selection of yummy looking pastries too.

Best coffee spot in Deptford. It’s been 2 year that I have been a regular and the team there is solid. They know what is up, always given a awesome experience and pour delicious cup of coffee. Don’t mess with them as they make my days better!

Absolutely an amazing place. I tried their bread many times. The best one and my favorite is the one with sundried tomatoes and oregano, delicious. I like to come here on a Saturday morning, grab a coffee to go to and explore Deptfort markets and shops.

After my morning walk, I found this shop. They have delicious fresh pastries, though they are a bit pricey. It's a small and tidy shop with good coffee, but it's too acidic for my preference. I also wish they used dine-in dinnerware instead of disposables.
