Charming café in London

“I absolutely love this cafe. The cappuccino I had was one of the best I’ve ever tasted creamy, hot, and made with care. The space is inviting, with a mix of modern style and homey charm. The breakfast menu includes lots of delicious dishes. The staff are genuinely friendly, not just polite, and make you feel welcome. It’s clear they care about both the coffee and the customers. I’ll be bringing all my friends here from now on.”

“Fabulous independent coffee shop and one that takes cash (unlike some others in Sevenoaks). Love the heated outside seating where my friend and I were joined by a wonderful pair of Jackdaws) . The hot chocolate was superb and the apple pie to die for. Recommended.”

“The chicken waffle was absolutely amazing, fresh and flavourful. The waffle was so spongy and was very easy to eat and not too filling at all. You can really tell that everything is made freshly on the day. On top of this the staff is so lovely and very attentive. Will definitely be coming back!!”

“Village Deli is a wonderful place to eat! The food is incredibly tasty — everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack, you can always count on a delicious meal. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of place that leaves you smiling and wanting to come back again. Highly recommended!”

“Bon Bon Coffee is such a lovely spot — the coffee is amazing every time, and they have every milk option you could possibly want! The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is really relaxed. A perfect place to grab your morning coffee or sit and unwind.”

“The best coffee place in the area. Convenient location, great speedy service, always wonderful coffee. I place quite a complex order of coffee because of some intolerances and preferences and the baristas always get it right the first time. Even the new ones. Have been going to this cafe Nero with family, friends, or just by myself to study. Has a great study space and vibe, as well as great coffee and service.”

“There are so many different but interesting non-food items on display. There is a lovely lady serving and preparing sandwiches with great care. Card payments and toilets are available. The balcony has small plastic houses for toddlers that they loved. Seating available inside and outside.”

“I ordered a toasted Salami Panini to takeaway. It was warm and absolutely delicious. Thank you All.”

“Great breakfast. Kids had bacon and chips, chicken burger, all good. Lovely coffee too. Friendly staff.”

“Coffee Gardens is a hidden gem in the heart of Leytonstone. My wife and I recently visited this charming cafe for breakfast and we were completely blown away by the experience. I ordered the full English breakfast and let me tell you, it was the best I have ever had. The quality of the ingredients, the taste, and the presentation were all top-notch. Every bite was a delight and I savored every moment of my meal. My wife, who is a vegetarian, opted for the vegetarian breakfast and she was equally impressed. The dish was beautifully prepared and had a perfect balance of flavors. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating these dishes. I also have to give a special mention to our waiter, who provided excellent customer service throughout our meal. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He even recommended some delicious drinks that complimented our meals perfectly. Overall, our experience at Coffee Gardens was nothing short of amazing. The food, the service, and the ambiance all exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast experience. We will definitely be returning soon.”

“I bought this lovely triple tier vanilla wedding cake for my wedding. Great service, delicious cake and I had no issues. Customised myself and they delivered it to my satisfaction. Everyone enjoyed the cake”

“the coffees are a really good price and well made. the staff are so friendly every time I walk in which I find rare in London. a nice little spot for a casual meal or drink.”

“Nice coffee, lovely playlist and well located. The customer service was not great which is an important factor for me. If you just want to grab a coffee and bounce or if you want to read a book and not speak to the barista (lol) I recommend ! Definitely go for the coffee !”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Santa's grotto. We thought Father Christmas was great and really warm and friendly towards our children. This farm has been a go to of ours especially over the last year and we always have a positive experience there. It is such an asset to our community. Thank you to all the team for such lovely days out!”

“Beautiful pub.. We have been there when a live happens and it was really nice experience. Normal prices and really nice customer service.”

“I visit this lovely cafe once a year because it is just down the road from where I get my car serviced and mot’d. They open at 8.30 (ish) and let me sit in until my car is ready - which is very kind of them. They also serve a really nice breakfast baguette and keep the tea coming. They are very friendly and helpful.”

“Had a lovely relaxed lunch here. The cafe is well run, had quick service and the staff were really friendly. There was a good range of sandwiches, hot lunces as well as hot and cold drinks. I had the vegetarian sausage bap, really impressed. Was tasty and hot.”

“Amazing coffee! Food is well presented and soooo delicious. Friendly staff and place is kept well clean. Definitely beats the Costa down the road which has become a no go zone. In fact, love this place that much that I've recommended to friends (and mum groups) and we're in everyday.”

“I hope this cafe never closes and helped to be maintained and be even better. The cafe is so important to families and the local community. Sadly Barking has become an absolute rookery , and barking park once being a landmark is one of the very few things left that gives the town any appeal and would be in despair without it. Keep the cafe, and the warm friendly people who run it and ai hope the local government make it even great again.”

“Pleasant visit for breakfast, great choice of food, prices a little high but not too bad. Food very nice, service friendly and efficient.”

“My family and I have been going here for around 15 years and despite the ownership changing, it feels the same. Typical cafe with great food done quick with a smile. Can’t see me going to any other cafe as long as Rumblin Tumms are in business. Thank you for the great service and food you have given our family over the last 15 or so years❤️”

“I had a coffee at the Ferry Shop yesterday, and it was a lovely experience! The staff were very friendly, and the location by the side canal is just beautiful. It’s a perfect spot to relax, enjoy the view, and have a small cup of coffee with friends. Highly recommended for a peaceful hangout!”

“Have spent few hours this morning, had a Sunday coffee by the pond. Very nice and quiet sitting area, staff is lovely and coffee was lovely. There were few tables inside but we sat outside and have a view of ducks in the pond, Church, park across the road and passing by traffic. I would suggest to visit on the weekend morning and enjoy some quality time there...... P.s. on Sunday the parking was free on the road leading to the meusem and tea room. Coffee”

“Absolutely fantastic little restaurant that offers fantastic food, a friendly, welcoming staff and a great atmosphere. Honestly the best breakfast I've ever had and I find it almost impossible to walk past without giving in to temptation and dropping in any time I'm local. The staff really do make it worthwhile - friendly, smiley, cheerful and make any meal a pleasure. The food is great tasting and incredibly good value for money. Highly, highly recommended. I just hope it doesn't become TOO popular so I can't get in anymore! :D”

“Lovely hot cappuccino there today..The muffins were the best, and my greyhound loved her little pack of birthday treats. Thanks very much :)”

“Love going to the garden centre and then stopping at this cafe after. The scones and tea are to die for. Friends all loved the vegetarian options on the menu too. Stunning location surrounded by greenery. Big car park and clean toilets available.”

“A great place in John Lewis at Bluewater to sit down and enjoy a sandwich (hot or cold), soup, salad and coffee during busy times. Great selection of pastries available as well. Coffee is good as well. Prices may be on the higher side but you get a seat compared to pret or any other cafe at busy times.”

“Nice pub and restaurant nestled in at the top end of the somewhat dire Waltham cross shopping district . The place is very clean and tidy Bar staff very friendly and the food is very good Well worth a visit Will be going again”

“Popped in for some breakfast during my London trip and the food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and attentive and food was served quickly to a high standard.”

“Great service and lovely atmosphere. They have a wide selection to choose from but I chose to get the soup of the day. It was a little pricey however was delicious!”
