Thy sell a wide range of cakes and they have jam doughnuts to die for. Their prices are really cheap and their bread is always so fresh and yummy. They have a lunch time sandwich service and these can be pre ordered. They sell jacket potatos and sausage rolls and many more things including breakfast in a box which is just as yummy as their sandwiches. Always got friendly staff and always very clean inside.

Meh, its Subway, what more do you want?…read more Very standard establishment with lackluster employees and culinary offerings to match... but they get the job done affordably and semi-healthfully compared to the McDonalds down the way. The one redeeming feature I can say about this Subway is that they are open LATE so if you are out for a drink in Romford and need some munch you can trust more so than that dodgy burger stand that smells of feet... SUBWAY TO THE RESCUE!

It was right up my street, and if like me, you love everything Vintage, then this is a dream! The cafe is based on a farm in a fairly rural area. It was a bit tricky to find, so make sure to look out for the signs. You'll find that it serves a very rustic and authentic environment, so if you're bit of a fancy pants, perhaps go to The Hilton for Afternoon tea. Its cute in size and decor. . My compliments certainly extends to the food, with everything homemade! We had The pre-ordered Afternoon tea, so everything was ready for us upon arrival. They were also able to cater for my 4 year old daughter, who had a kids version. The sandwiches were so soft and the cakes absolutely delish. The cherry on top was that the staff were super friendly and made us feel very comfortable. So, all-in-all, big thumbs up!

I have only ever been to Rowans for breakfast. As you walk in there are a few sofas for you to get…read morecomfy on, other than that there are about 15 tables and chairs. It is always pretty busy with locals especially on a Saturday morning. Rowans is a posh cafe, clean and friendly service. Breakfast is good, but compared to a normal cafe it is a bit expensive. Their menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. This is the only cafe at this end of Barkingside so if you find yourself coming out of the library feeling a bit hungry you might as well pop in :)

Rowans is another one of those new coffee shops. You know the kind, browny comfortable interiors,…read moresmall portions and subtle over-pricing. Yet for some reason, they get away with it. Myself and most people I know really like it - and I have often met with friends here for lunch. What I like about it is how no nonsense it is. The menus are simple yet options are plentiful. And whether you want a pancake, a smoothie or a panini - those Polish waitresses sure are quick and their chefs even quicker. This is a place where the old ladies are comfortable, yet at the same time you get school kids hanging out here after school - along with the fashionable twenty-somethings sipping their little coffees. They do a BBQ chicken melt in Panini; which is completely awesome. Why it's different from anywhere else I don't really know but when they melt that thing together it is true magic. Other than that, it's just a nice place to head to with a friend for a coffee - and there's not many places in the high street you can say that about.

On the day I came for a trip to Paris it was the only place in the station open at that time so it had quite the line but the staff was lovely and made it happen getting orders taken and out very quickly. They have plenty of pastries you can choose from and a few hot sandwiches at the early hours. Later in the day they have more substantial options. I found it weird that the morning sandwiches only had one type of filling. So you could have a bacon sandwich or egg sandwich but no bacon and egg sandwich. But I digress. I went with a raisin roll that was very fresh and tasty and a vanilla ice coffee. The iced coffee was sooooo good and tasty but also STRONG. The do serve with paper straws so if that's not your thing make sure to bring your own.
