An independent, family-run café by New Cross Gate station — coffee, cakes and hearty South Asian dishes, at prices people talk about.
An espresso bar and a full South Asian kitchen under one roof — chickpea curry with rice alongside a flat white.
Reviewers keep coming back for the prices on cakes, curries and cooked breakfasts.

Our story
New X Coffee is an independent, family-run café at 259 New Cross Road, right next to New Cross Gate station in south-east London — a busy, student-heavy stretch with Goldsmiths just up the road.
The menu is broader than most cafés: coffee, milkshakes, cakes and breakfasts sit alongside paninis and hot Pakistani/South Asian dishes like chickpea curry with rice — the kind of good-value combination reviewers keep mentioning.
