The 30 Best Cafe store in Ilford

“Very good service from Sadia. She is very hardworking and helpful., despite the shop being very busy, she has been very calm and very professional. Keep up the good work. Relaxing atmosphere to eat and drink. I am not too happy that she is working on her own and the shop has been very busy, hence waited a bit to be served and get my food. Extra support is needed in the shop for health & safety reasons etc”

“Fabulous live music at the Gardener's cottage on Sunday 12pm - 4pm in summer. Why I'm I just hearing about this? Lovely music by Redbridge Music Lounge, great acts worth seeing”

“Been going to cafe for at least the last 10 years. It's best around. Great food. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. They always try and find you a seat even when they are crazy busy. It's not your average greasy spoon It's way better than that. And a 100% veggie and vegan friendly”

“HIDDEN GEM HELLOOO?!? The photo truly speaks for itself. It was so delicious and really tasted like it was made out of love! We came here once before and were given some sweet goodies as a kind gesture, it really stuck with us so obviously we had to make sure to come back. This time we were treated with the same warm welcome and kindness. The man who works at the till is such a sweetheart, always so attentive to the customers and never fails to put a smile on our face before we leave, he really makes up for most of our experience. Love love love! 100% recommend this place ❤️”

“Lovely customer service from Ashik and great coffee helpful worker I dropped my coffee and he offered to make me a new one”

“Staying a few doors down at a VRBO, and we've come here every morning of our stay for coffee. The specialty coffees are delicious, and the baristas are so nice! They also offer a variety of breakfast pastries that our kids loved. We haven't tried their actual breakfast items as we aren't morning eaters, but they also look delicious! Thank you Artful Blend for making our stay a little brighter!”

“Excellent service and good by Haleem Will come again From Kumail who came on Friday”

“Great food, nice atmosphere. Real quality shisha and the staff were very nice. Food portins are good,filling, and large. Had the nachos, chilli cheese fries and a pizza which ended up being too much in terms of our expectations of portion size but it was tasty and we got to go boxes. The shisha was very well presented and high quality. Tasted great and went down nicely with the drinks. £95 for 2 shisha, 4 cocktails, Chill Cheese fries, cheese nachos and a 15" pizza split in 2 was the spend. Will return.”

“We had my sons 18th party here, have to say was the best night, couldn't fault the staff, customer service was 100% and the management staff, Saiorse and Tracy went above and beyond to make sure everything went well, notting was to much trouble and I can't thank them enough for making it a special time for my son. Would 100% recommend this place for events. The staff and management are amazing. Thank you so much guys. Looking forward to going again.”

“Food was excellent and service was great too. The pancakes were so good!! And the savoury options are excellent. We popped in for a coffee and stayed for brunch. It’s a great option in a very busy area with great interior.”

“As soon as I entered with my wife and kids, we were warmly welcomed by the girl at the counter and the guy near the coffee area. My mocha tasted amazing, and my kids really enjoyed their berry slush. Thank you, Rakhshan! The place was clean, and the aroma of fresh coffee was just incredible. Visited on Sunday, 1st June 2025 at 5:30 PM. I even bought some chocolate as a small gesture to appreciate the excellent service.”

“I had a fantastic experience at Starbucks thanks to Greta. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a genuine smile and positive energy that immediately made my day better. She was incredibly attentive, remembered my complicated order without hesitation, and prepared it perfectly. Greta truly went above and beyond—not just efficient, but friendly and welcoming in a way that made the entire atmosphere feel more personal. It’s clear she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about the customer experience. I’ll definitely be coming back because of her excellent service. She’s a real asset to the team!”

“It is my favourite Costa coffee shop. I really like the friendly atmosphere there. Food is always fresh. Drinks are made with ♥️. The store manager is really friendly and want to bring the smile on his customers face. The staff there is as well always friendly, smiling. Store is clean. So there is nothing to complain about.”

“Absolutely loved the food at Paratha Junction! The mooli paratha and aloo paratha were incredibly flavorful, perfectly spiced, and served piping hot with butter on top. The real standout for me was the desi saag—rich, authentic, and just like home-cooked Punjabi food. Everything tasted fresh and was made with love. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving genuine North Indian comfort food. Will definitely be back!”
