Greensmiths in Lambeth

Cute deli + café, good value, focaccia sandwiches ☕️ although no iced coffee, focaccia sandwich was dry, no mayo or butter on the focaccia or ice in the building, for cold drinks. The deli is excellent tho, great range incl Swiss stuff which is hard to find. Café 3*, Deli 5*

Have been coming here for years as I work around the corner. It seems as if the management has recently changed or something because it just isn’t the same place anymore. The quality isn’t as good, there is less selection, and the prices of many items have increased so much over night. For example, I use to order the quiche and salad combo which was £5.50 takeaway and is now £8 and doesn’t taste as good.

One of my favourite places to get lunch on lower marsh! The quiches are really good, and the vegan "SOS roll" is great - it's like a vegan sausage roll, it's really big and only costs £1.80. There is a shop downstairs and a café upstairs, so definitely explore it!Edit (Feb 2022) - the SOS roll isn't around anymore, but the quiches and focaccia sandwiches are great.

This shop is perfect: the selection of products is large and of high quality. Prices of vegetables and fruits are very reasonable, why go to the supermarket when you can get excellent in season items at the same price from greensmiths? The staff is very kind and helpful. They also have a nice selection of beers which i am looking forward to choose from.

I'm a big fan of Greensmiths and have been coming as an occasional customer for years. For a premium grocer, it's actually very good value - I am finding myself cycling there more and more often. I go particularly for the cheese, beer and wine (for my very balanced diet). The beer section is excellent and as cheap as you'll find The Kernel anywhere. A very good mix of craft and European beers. Oh, and the tarts. The almond tart is spectacular and, again, really well priced. I don't miss the Ginger Pig being there - there is now a small, decent meat selection, and more space for veg.

Whilst the produce is of exquisite quality and the butcher and junior members of the team are incredibly friendly and helpful they are hugely let down by two of the older members of staff. Living locally, and as an avid supporter of local businesses I almost resent bringing my custom to Greensmiths.They are unnecessarily rude and this tends to be in the form of snide or sarcastic comments. To expose a few minor incidents:Upon recently entering the store 10 minutes until the scheduled closing time the older grumpy man remarked “You’re cutting it fine” under his breath which made me feel uncomfortable and my custom unwanted.I was also horrified after recently visiting the store with a friend who ordered a baked tart, to which the older woman angrily retorted “Well I cant see what you mean, just choose off the menu!”.This is absolutely not the way to treat valued customers who often spend money here.This is perhaps the first time I have gone out of my way to leave a review online however, I do not have time for mean or rude people, especially coming out of a hard year for everyone, where a degree of humility should be shown.

I'm so happy to have this grocer in my neighbourhood. Great selection of bread, cheese, fruit and veg, and the ability to buy the exact amount of produce that you want instead of having to settle for pre-packaged portions at a chain supermarket. The staff is great and I've built a nice rapport with them.

Fantastic selection and good prices. I'm always surprised by the specialty items I find in the small space. The wine and beer selection is terrific. Produce is great.

What a great shop! Superb selection of produce including seasonal vegetables including a range of winter squash. Great selection of quality wine, dried fruit and cheeses.

We regularly buy meat here, the gentleman at the meat counter is always very efficient and professional. Steaks are really good.Self service using paper bags provided above the vegetables and fruits and weight them. Always fresh and top qulity. I love cooking and using the best vegetables gives my meals superb flavours.Lovely shop you can find a bit of everything, coffee amd cakes are also served here.
