This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best place on a Walthamstow morning to grab a coffee and…read morea fresh croissant - these inevitably sell out by 8.30am, there are plenty who'll second that. Art Café is one of a handful of Muslim-run cafés in the neighbourhood, all of which - to the continued surprise of some bemused locals - fail to serve sausage sarnies and bacon-and-egg breakfasts but provide a great line in non-alcoholic hot drinks and high-quality French patisserie. What's special about Art Café is its delicious Algerian coffee. A cup of this and a freshly-baked croissant will set you back £2 - half what you'd pay halfway along the Victoria Line. For lunch, Panini and baked potatoes, with fairly predictable but generous fillings of spiced/regular tuna, cheese, roasted vegetables etc, cost no more than £3.50. Service is friendly, the café relaxed and comfortable, and it's a stone's throw from Walthamstow Central. Don't wait until you get into town for your morning shot of caffeine!

Waited nearly an hour to get food which was rubbish considering that we were the only people in there. The guy who I assume to be the owner also needs a little bit of help with the customer interface. However the food, when it eventually arrived, was good but for what the portion sizes was over priced. I guess that's why the place was empty?

On the way we discovered a host of cafes and pubs, this being one right at the beginning. I like it. Actually, I love it. But, I like places like this.
