Luca's Kitchen and Bakery

Best breakfast in Dulwich. Couldn't finish the hangover plate but it was delicious.
Cute and fast service.
Great prices.
Best affogatto and ice cream in town.

So saaaaad it's closing 😔

After my usual place for a Sunday full English closed and everywhere else only offering veggie food to find this hidden gem was a godsend! Staff are friendly, premises clean and bright any my fry up was amazing, probably the best sausage I have ever had! My OH did have the veggie option with fresh OJ and was equally impressed. Well done to all at Luca's 👍😁

The best brie cranberry and bacon toasted sandwich I've ever had. £5.50 well spent!! My terrible food photography doesn't do the sandwich justice...

This was unexpected visit found whilst searching for the nearby menswear shop 'Meet Bernard' and certainly not disappointed. I ordered the special 'Lumberjack' sourdough waffle based brunch with bacon and fried duck egg which was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Really hard to fault to be honest and just shame I couldn't order two breakfasts. Looking forward to a return in the new year. Also worth mentioning that service was efficient and food cam super quick.

Had lunch here today with my friends who are local and have eaten here quite a few times. I was really impressed by everything. Service fast and friendly. Really great choice for vegans like me. Really great food. Plenty of it, really tasty, hot and very good value. We sat outside but from what I could see it looked lovely inside too. 5 stars well earnt! 😊

Great cafe with brilliant food and very friendly service.

With its Italian background, you can get some delicious pasta here as a decent lunch, or have a toasted sandwich – the brie, bacon, and cranberry is my favourite.

A few seats outside, and gets very busy at the weekends with the brunch crowd. Great for takeaway too if you want to get a coffee and a bite to eat on the go.

Love this place a lot. A great menu with some great options & flavour combinations. A bit different to standard brunch menus & that’s what makes it unique & tasty. I wanted to eat the whole menu! Coffee & tea selection is superb too. Cakes yummy. I had soup & it was delicious. Definitely recommended. Really great space too. Friendly staff & just really welcoming inside. Great vegan & vegetarian options which makes me happy.

One of the best local cafes in London - whether it's for the 'Hangover' breakfast, waffles, apple cake, gelato or a smoothie. The sourdough bread is so good that even though we recently moved from the area, we come back regularly to pick some up. Run by wonderful people, making wonderful food - it's that simple.

A hidden gem and excellent addition to the East Dulwich cafe fleet. I had become so accustomed to the previous places hits and misses that it took me a while to come around to Luca's. It's better in every way. Their breads are fantastic and probably why we we love their BLTs and breakfasts so much. Their cakes are amazing. Staff are super friendly and it has a real neighbourhood feel to it now. Very much looking forward to exploring this one more.

Best veggie sausage sandwich, delicious fruit based frozen granitas (recommend lemon and raspberry combo) and moist tasty banana and peanut butter vegan cake. Also meat options so caters for everyone. Surprised by the outstanding quality of everything we ordered! Will definitely be going back soon!

Popped in for lunch on a Saturday. Great menu options - brunch or lunch (light / heavy). Wonderful tea options. Really enjoyed the fact that it isn't as crammed as other places in East Dulwich so tables aren't squashed up with one another. Had a lovely pasta dish so no room for desert through options looked lovely. Will return. Glad to find somewhere in East Dulwich neither uncomfortably busy nor full of people on laptops

Luca's is one of my favourite cafes in East Dulwich. They bake the most incredible sourdough bread on site, which makes even toast and jam feel like a special treat. Their pastel de nata (Portuguese custard tarts) and gelati, both also made on site, are delicious.

It's not a huge cafe, but there are quite a few small tables inside, as well as a handful outside at the front. The ceiling is quite low, but the light is lovely and they often have displays of work by local artists (currently Fran Giffard). Staff are very friendly and good at what they do.

Access: Completely level access from the street through a wide (but not heavy) front door, and all one level inside. Staff are happy to move chairs to accommodate a wheelchair and there's enough space to move around comfortably between tables inside, even in a fairly large electric wheelchair.

One of my favourite local places. I first visited when flat-hunting with my partner and immediately knew it would be somewhere we would go often when we found a place in the neighbourhood. From the bread to the gelato, cakes, smoothies and lunch dishes: everything I've ordered from Luca's has been delicious and the staff are incredibly warm and friendly.

This is a really lovely place to spend time with friends or just nip in by yourself. Unlike some cafes, they do not make single diners feel like they are taking up space and are dog friendly. The owners are always welcoming and say hello! And the food hits the spot every time. Thanks guys!

Genuinly a great place for brunch!
The ingredients are so fresh, from the olive oil to the bread, this latter freshly baked every day!
The black hummus definitely my favourite!
There is love in their food!

Amazing little independent cafe, perfect addition to Dulwich, just what we needed here! Loooove the smell of fresh artisan bread and they even have a vegan breakfast. The owners are lovely too, really take pride in what they are doing, we should have more places like this in London.

Great local cafe, very good coffee, cake and other foods, italian ice cream and even Kimchii, interesting menu reflecting SE London's diversity but also excellent breakfasts !

Really great vegan options. I thought the prices were really good considering the portions/cakes are a really generous size. A great local spot if you live in East Dulwich.

Luca brilliantly took on the task of creating a cake for my Mum (Jean)'s 90th birthday that would have to be both vegan and gluten free - other bakers said they couldn't do it but Luca made a fantastic, tasty and beautiful cake for us. And Luca was really helpful and friendly too, we thank him very much indeed!

Very good range of cafe style dishes, well cooked and with friendly serving staff. Healthy and veggie options. Prepared on site, including baking.
