   Nordic Calm & Local Charm at Ramble Cafe – Forest Gate Tucked under the railway arches near Wanstead Flats, Ramble Cafe E7 offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of East London. With its minimalist décor, soft lighting, and friendly staff, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down — whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in with a book and a cinnamon bun. The menu leans into Scandinavian comfort food: smoked salmon sandwiches, flaky croissants, waffles, and those now-famous cinnamon rolls — sweet, spiced, and perfectly sticky. Coffee is a highlight here, consistently praised for its quality and depth of flavour. Vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful, and the café caters well to different dietary needs without compromising on taste. Service is warm and attentive, with staff who genuinely care about the experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and inclusive, ideal for solo visits, casual meetups, or quiet weekend brunches. There’s also outdoor seating, takeaway options, and a loyal local following that gives the space its welcoming energy. Prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently high — making it one of Forest Gate’s most beloved cafés.

   Stop by to pick up coffee and something sweet before heading to Wanstead Park. Everything look delicious, lots of mummies with their kids in the room.

   Tucked away under the arches just by Wanstead Flats, this café really is a hidden gem. The space has an unpretentious charm, with exposed brick and a relaxed, welcoming feel that makes it perfect for a quiet coffee or a catch-up with friends. The coffee itself is fantastic — rich, smooth, and clearly made with care by someone who knows their craft. What truly stood out though was the Basque cheesecake: creamy, delicately caramelised, and tasting exactly as it does in Spain, a little slice of the Basque Country right here in East London. The staff are warm and genuine, the atmosphere easygoing, and the whole experience feels authentic without trying too hard. If you’re near Wanstead Flats and in search of something special, this place is well worth discovering

   Came around at 11:30am. Soup was piping hot as they came freshly cooked. Cream of parsnips soup was balanced and had a lovely touch with the parsnip crisps. Butter was hard, which was due to the cold weather. Lychee and coconut drizzle was with a sweet glaze, the cake was moist. Would come here again.

   Such a welcoming café with warm & friendly staff, it's very child friendly too. Exceptional flat white (the best coffee in Forest Gate) and fantastic food across the board. My partner had the butter beans on sourdough and I had a delicious beef stew with pearl barley. Even the butter was amazing. I bought a slice of Orange polenta cake to take home, which was also excellent. Well worth making the journey here for lunch/brunch or even just a coffee.
