Relaxed cafes in Ilford

“I highly recommend this place. Breakfast is excellent. Omelette is number 1. I recommend it. Everything is fresh and tasty. Everything is number 1 in London.”

“Great little cafe. Quality is good, friendly service, good hygiene and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent homemade dishes. Overall much much better since owners have changed. Happily recommend.”

“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”

“Great place for Indian breakfasts and Sweets. Got chance to try Idly, Dosa and Handmade soda. Sweets made of Desi Ghee made my day Must try and recommend for people carving for Indian/ Asian taste”

“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”

“I've been going here for my espresso fix and pastry, coffee is worth going for, it's strong, dark roast with a nice well rounded flavour, it's been a place I get my caffeine fix from”

“Our go to breakfast spot! Me and my partner love coming here. Food is absolutely delicious, people are so kind and always present our food with a smile. (Btw they're breakfast sausage are the best I've ever had, and bonus is everything is halal!!!) Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.”

“Great old style park cafe. The cafe has a wide selection of food and drinks. The prices are cheap. I had the chilli with cheese and the chip was £5.90. It was tasty and had a large portion.”

“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”

“Friendly, good service good food. Always visit when I'm in the area.”

“I'm from Brazil and I met this place today, a cosy and warm CAFE , excellent service, polite, kind and attentive employees, breakfast has incredible varieties and flavours, thank you guys , I will be back !”

“Hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Every single individual item was cooked to perfection. I had the moral mega which consisted of like 8 different types of items and then added nuggets on top - every single item left you wanting more. My wife got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and I tried it - it was damn good! The atmosphere was very nice, they had a high chair for my infant child, servers were all very polite & well mannered and their toilets were also nice & clean. Already looking to go back!”

“This charming cafe, nestled within the park, offers a delightful halal breakfast. I have had the pleasure of visiting on several occasions and have consistently been impressed. The staff are highly attentive and unfailingly provide excellent service. It is quickly becoming my preferred spot for breakfast.”

“Very impressed with the food, price and service. If you are pressed for time as I was, and you can't take on their breakfast challenge I recommend the 'All in breakfast sandwich '.Bacon, egg, hash brown and sausage, bloody loveleh!”

“The best coffee ☕ around this area”

“Great food and great service. The new decor is amazing and inviting. The mixed sheesh grill platter was cooked to perfection. And would also suggest the calamari. Will definitely recommend.”

“Lovely cafe on Green lane serving Halal breakfasts open really early nice and clean I had the medium breakfast come to a fiver with a cup of coffee fresh and hot if your in the area highly recommend”

“I wish that I knew about this place a lot sooner. It must be one of the best if not the best cafe that I have been to. The place is very clean and bright. The staff are friendly and the full breakfast meal tasted really nice. I will go there whenever I want a cooked breakfast”

“I am really disappointed to see thar some reviews people have said this is a 2 star hotel. There are crazy ilford travelodge is the best hotel in east london for me its 5 star. The service we get every time is the best. We always come to this hotel and without a blink we get everything' we asks for . The location is the best 5 mins away from the station shops near by. Rooms are always clean. And the staff especially these guys are what hotels are made off. Starting with lira running the place with a special mention to sabrina,tammy, emannuela, amit, shadab, adriano, alina, ashif. Giffty. Thank You so much and more if i cant remember all the names but thank you all for you guys who make this travelling enjoyable. You all have made this the best hotel in east london. Nasir mirza”

“Lovely bright and spacious cafe. Food is delicious. Staff very helpful and polite. Recomend going there for a meal or snack for all age groups. Well done Tesco Cafe.”

“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!”

“It’s a nice place. After a week came back for breakfast with daughter. The food is freshly made and delicious. To top it off, the atmosphere is also cozy! Love it. Staff/owner are very nice, friendly and well behaved. Highly recommended to enjoy their freshly made English breakfast, Desi breakfast and dessert. Many Thanks”

“I was working in this area for a few days not many places to sit and eat unless you want to takeaway. I came across Sky Coffee Lounge it's in between a coffee shop and restaurant. There is a sandwich menu and hot food menu, serving a variety of cold and hot beverages. On the day I visited it was quiet and I was talking to the owner. If you live near here give it a try you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere is wonderful, if you're alone bring a book or newspaper, relax so some reading, meet some friends for lunch or if you have a casual date organise to visit this place.”
