Kings & Queens Cafe

The best flapjacks you will ever eat are made by Lorraine, the mum of Roxanne of Kings and Queens cafe. Lorraine's home made cakes are as much of a draw as the home made sandwiches and Kings nurses come in for the hot food- home made lasagna and spag bol. Roxanne is a Camberwell girl through and through. She opened the cafe in March just as lockdown hit and says "I am SO looking forward to serving customers inside!"

She now makes it every Saturday for Camberwellians. Hospital staff drop in for the pho with spiced pork or tofu banh mi -baguettes with pickled carrot, coriander, cucumber and chili.
