This is the best place for coffee and cake in Leytonstone…read more The staff are very freindly and helpful. They take your tray to your table if you've not enough hands. The coffee is great and the cakes add inches to your waistline as soon as you walk in the door, so be careful! There is also a great selection of savoury sandwiches, falafel etc.

The mushroom toast was incredibly tasty and probably the best value dish in the place. I also was really impressed with the Parisienne pastry and the brownie (served warm of course!)... Only the black forest cake was a little let down - it looked beautiful but was coated in a waxy chocolate which didn't feel high-quality at all. Overall the boy and I left feeling stuffed. Really lovely staff and I'd come back anytime :)

Okay so this is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in Loughton. In my opinion, Loughton…read morestruggles to open and keep good coffee shops. Organico is therefore my top choice. Organico is primarily a health food store that has some seating for those seeking a coffee. The coffee and pastries are quite good, but it can feel like your sitting in the middle of a grocery store. However, this is probably my only complaint. Organico serves decent coffee at reasonable prices in a semi-comfortable environment. Plus they dont mind the lengthy visits. My mother-in-law and I sat and chatted for a few hours. It was a very nice experience overall.

At this point they had limited items available but that was fine as we had a few tasty pastries and cappuccinos. Just right to sit at an outside table on a nice day and people watch. Decent spot to end our day before jumping on the train back to London. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Plus, they have a clean bathroom here which was a must before heading back to our hotel.

Yes I ate my beans...and my tomato. So bonus points for my sophisticated pallet, although I still can't fathom that phenomenon. Three meats in one meal (I'm counting the eggs) paired nicely with my Americano. It's a nice atmosphere inside, despite the unassuming looks out front. Plenty of space in the second room, although I'm still disconcerted with the mirror in the front room making me think it's another extra room. The service was friendly and fast, and it's worth the walk over to the neighborhood for a visit. I can see this becoming a regular spot.

I love entrepeneurs. And I love good coffee…read more Kalopsia Coffee offers both. The owner, Matt, shared his story with me over a cup of wonderful coffee during my last visit to London. Matt has outfitted an old van and operates as a mobile cart selling what was, IMHO, his coffee was the closest thing to a Seattle latte (where I live) that I came across in Europe. I don't believe that his stand is open all days at the Royal Victoria docks, but if he is there (and you will know he is because he has great on-site marketing), it would certainly be a worthwhile investment to stop by and grab a cuppa joe. Way better than any other options in the area, at least that we were able to discover.

Cook offers delicious home cooked ready meals at a slightly higher price. The ready meals are…read morefortunately not your standard ready meals filled with preservatives from the likes of Sainsbury's and Iceland - Cooks key differentiator is the quality and natural ingredients used that are then frozen. My favourites include the Moroccan Spiced Harissa Chicken (with the chickpeas!) the Chicken Dijon (on the creamy side) and for dessert the Almond Torte with Salted Caramel ice-cream, a perfect gift if you happen to be going to a dinner party around Petts Wood. Annie who manages this particular location is always a pleasure to speak with. Cook also provides a little bit extra than the large supermarkets with some in-store tasting experiences, I have tried chickpeas and various nuts that were delicious. Today though was by far my favourite tasting experience as they had tomato chutney - yum! - with biscuits on offer and it was great. Cook is more expensive that your average ready meal but just remember this is by far and away higher quality and more delicious. Its a growing brand in the UK with about 86 locations - and with a lot of potential to expand further afield - rumour has it San Francisco maybe the first non UK location. You would have to ask Edward Perry - Cooks owner for more info!

Being American, I wanted to have a proper Thanksgiving dinner for my family (who are all British) and my twins who's first Thanksgiving it would be. Cook came in like a champion. I got a brilliant tasting Crown of Turkey with stuffing in it, cranberry sauce, dauphinoise potatoes, pigs in blankets, and a few extras here. The price was quite reasonable and the food was easy to prepare, not to mention delicious. This is definitely somewhere I will continue to come and get meals from.
