Breakfast & Brunch

**DD's Café** is a friendly café in Coulsdon that serves a good selection of all-day breakfasts, lunches, sandwiches and daily specials. It's earned [very good reviews](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tqszkx3YyaKuHbPN9) online! It's easy to get to from central Croydon (only a few steps from a 166 bus stop) and will bring us most of the way towards Banstead Woods where - weather permitting - we can go for a walk afterwards. Hopefully the bluebells will still be out, but if not it's still a lovely place to walk off a fry-up! \-\-\- The Croydon Brunch Club is held on the 2nd weekend of every month. It's an opportunity to meet others from in and around Croydon over a relaxed coffee or brunch, dished up by the great chef. All are welcome to this informal and relaxed monthly gathering of the great and good of Croydon. This is a social networking event and is not the place to pitch your business, dish out fliers or sign people up to services. Please contact organiser Ben if you would like to collaborate on something you feel is relevant to the group.
