"I visited this cafe with my family in may during lockdown as they were offering a takeaway service. I’ve seen the owner buy stock from the local co-op which I don’t have a problem with. I do find issue with being charged £5 for a...bacon or sausage sandwich and in the instance for extras in sandwiches ranging from £1.80 to £1.00 so for example a bacon and egg sandwich would produce a charge of £6.00. Regardless of any personal wealth, that is terrible value. Only if the bread or other components were made with some form of endangered ingredient procured from the black market would I understand such a mark up. Also I appreciate the cost is in line with ‘sit in’ customers but for takeaway it’s ludicrous. As a self employed worker I appreciate the structures of expenses and overheads but the whole experience left me perplexed and I can safely say I won’t be a returning customer."

This was such a gorgeous cafe, such friendly staff and gorgeous food. I had a pastrami bagel and it was delicious. Really reasonably priced and just such a lovely atmosphere. I wasn’t able to take lots of photos but I did get one of my...bagel . I will definitely be returning soon. The venue is bigger than the pictures show, it’s really cosy and really nicely decorated.

Excellent selection of food (whatever your needs) polite and friendly staff. Lovely decor and very clean. Situated...right next to Waltham Abbey church with it’s lovely gardens. Would highly recommend. Even though we are from Brentwood, we shall definitely return!!
