EAST DULWICH PICTUREHOUSE

The East Dulwich Picturehouse is the kind of cafe that makes you feel like you're not just out for a snack; you're part of a hipster film festival. You can grab a coffee and some mochi ice cream, and suddenly, your Saturday is looking a lot more Instagrammable. The staff seem to be actual angels, turning a simple coffee run into an experience with their friendly vibe. The garden area is a nice touch, giving you a chance to pretend you’re having a date with nature instead of your phone.

But let’s not sugarcoat everything. If you’re after groundbreaking cinema-quality screens, you may want to lower your expectations. Stale popcorn isn’t exactly a five-star meal, but hey, it’s good for a casual film outing. Overall, Picturehouse nails the local charm, but you might want to keep your popcorn game strong. Just don’t expect to be dazzled by the screen quality.
