Wanted to visit this cafe for some time and finally got round to it this week. You instantly feel welcome. We had a pram, they accomodated us moving chairs, so as we could feel comfortable. It is family run and such a lovely bunch of people😊Warm, chatty and actually took the time to show interest in us too. The coffee was great and the white chocolate traybake was amazing!! Really wish them well..they deserve it so much. We will definitely be back Thank you😊

Newly-opened upmarket cafe/coffee shop in Wanstead. Decor is very nice and bright with comfy seats, ideal for brunch/lunch. Staff were exceptionally friendly. We enjoyed the designer all-day breakfast with a glass of delicious freshly-squeezed orange juice. Expensive but worth it. Toilets available. No parking. Recommended as a solid addition to the Wanstead luncheon portfolio. Prefer to Bare Brew.

Fantastic service - courteous and incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did they arrive within 1 hour to central London but demonstrated their vast experience and found the fault straight away. Fixed things quickly, cleanly and calmly. Explained the process professionally throughout, and was lovely and friendly. Pricing clearly stated and honest. 10/10 would 100% recommend.

Aziz arrived an hour after I called and from start to finish he was courteous, diligent, professional and knowledgeable. He explained every step and answered all of my questions with great patience. His rates are exceedingly reasonable and I would not hesitate to use his services again should I have issues in the future.

Aziz arrived on time and was very helpful and polite. He and his colleague fixed my bathroom light switch and installed 2x sockets just as I wanted and ensured everywhere was left tidy. Highly recommended and I will be using his services again.

I was served by Simone - and it was worth missing several buses over! I discussed my wants with her, and with her expertise and incredible customer service, I finally found a red to my taste! She was so patient and personable, and very knowledgeable in her field. MUST has definitely gained a new customer! I look forward to revisiting!

Just the best place for a chilled evening with a beautiful wine menu, lovely staff and great food snacks and sharing plates. Also a brilliant place to pick up a good bottle of wine for takeaway. We love it here for our date nights!

I chose this venue for a surprise celebration attended by 26 guests. We had a joyous evening with all our family and friends. Your venue is simply beautiful, a great space to host our event. The wine tasting experience included 5 wines and a platter of mezze style nibbles (ham, cheese, nuts, hummus, grapes etc). You could tell the wine was of thee finest quality. I normally wake up in the morning, my head feeling a bit heavy after wine - but not on this occasion!!! The wine selection was incredible and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the choices given to us. Mike and Wade are the perfect hosts - really friendly and incredibly attentive. Must Wine have a great team, who are warm, helpful, graceful, polite and overall just good vibes! We look forward to visiting again soon.

We popped into Must for 1 glass, then stayed for their wonderful Wanstead Fringe Wine Festival flight of sparkling wines & champagne. Fantastic service, Renato was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The selection of bubbles included in the amazingly priced flight (£9:99 for 3 glasses) was wonderful. We'll definitely be back and have already recommended it to several friends.

I highly recommend Oliver from Beales Electrical. He checked out the job, which was to install a wall heater in my bathroom with the appropriate electric supply. He gave me a fair quote via email and a date he would be available to do the job. Oliver arrived on time and did a good tidy job. Also at a later date fixed my kitchen lights. Nice to find a reliable local tradesman.

Rating: 5 / 5

Amazingly fast service, installation done perfectly and with care, I can recommend Oliver 100%. The installation was tricky but he completed it without problem and he left everything tidy afterwards, top electrician. If you need to get something done with your electrics, please look no further.

Ollie rewired our house and was brilliant. In addition to the work being great, he was able to fit us in at short notice, provided really helpful advice before, during and after the work, and was communicative and dependable - would highly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

It’s soo hard to find decent reliable tradesmen so I was lucky to find Oliver. Very pleased with the jobs he did for us. Will be using him again. One of the jobs was tidying up unnecessary cables we inherited when we moved in, before and after pics attached. Highly recommend!

I had an oat late and egg avocado toast. The coffee was delicious I have not drunk such a good coffee for a long time. Perfection. Avocado was nutty and creamy and eggs were fresh and very tasty. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 / 5

Great place to have a breakfast, lunch or just a Fika (coffee and something sweet). Dog friendly.

Rating: 5 / 5

Firstly, the staff are absolutely lovely! The service on coffees was super quick, and the coffee itself was great. Alternative milks (we had oat flat whites) available, and there are vegan / vegetarian options available too. Food was delicious, and crafted beautifully. We’ll definitely be coming back here!

Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The cafe is well decorated and very comfortable. Clean, bright, with outside seating in their cozy enclosed back courtyard. Food here is extremely yummy and very, very reasonably priced - (considering their high level of quality). The menu is small and perfect. Everything is made fresh and extremely well. I love visiting cafes that serve a selection of smaller savoury items as well as larger bigger dishes, so there is always a choice, depending on how hungry you are... (Instead of just loads of sweet cakes) My favourite savoury item is an egg and crispy bacon bap, which always arrives beautifully displayed on gorgeous plates and served with little extras such as crispy onions, a little salad with dressing, yummy 😋 I always have to ask for my coffee to be made in a certain way...(As you know, by all my other reviews, I am very fussy about getting a well made coffee) and they always seem very happy to oblige. My coffee is always extremely good, beautifully strong and smooth. I do wish they would take their orders on paper when serving at the tables. Writing down requests would certainly save on little mistakes and confusion. But apart from that...the place is gorgeous. Highly recommended ✨ I will edit this and write more soon... with photos....as there are so many lovely positives to this place.

Lloyd is probably the most professional, empathetic and thorough tradesman I have ever dealt with. His work and that of his team is consistently first class (I have used the company of a few occasions), his availability is extremely reasonable and he is always available to talk to on the phone. In addition, when my tenants had no power, he was on the phone sending videos and instructions to them at midnight and they were able to fix the problem in 10 minutes. Bravo, what a sensational business you run. I give at least 6 stars for Lloyd Hallowell Electrics!

Rating: 5 / 5

I needed an electrical timer on an immersion heater uograded, and a switch elsewhere replaced. I was on a tight deadline and they went out of their way to help me get it resolved in time. Communication was great from start to finish, Alfred who came to complete the work was very friendly, polite and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and will use them again in future.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lloyd and his team did an absolutely fantastic job at our property. The booking system is extremely easy to use and you have full transparency on who is coming to do the work and how they are getting on with the journey. Communication with Lloyd was excellent throughout. He was very quick with responses at all hours of the day (including weekends) and always went out of his way to provide very detailed explanations of what kind of work needed to be done, why they were recommending it be done a certain way, etc. He gained our trust from the very first interaction and we were never disappointed. In terms of the actual work carried out, we first had an EIRC done which highlighted a lot of remedial work required, as the property we recently bought had been somewhat neglected in that respect. We discussed the results with Lloyd and got a very fair and practical recommendation on which items were important vs nice to have. In the end we decided to take him up on most of the work and that required multiple visits, but all was carried out seamlessly. The finished work is to a very high standard and we are overall very happy and would wholeheartedly recommend Lloyd and his team.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic experience from start to finish - Lloyd was very communicative, patient and helpful in explaining my various options, which I was grateful for. Works (carried out by Nathan) were done to a high standard. Thoroughly recommend, I wouldn't hesitate to use Lloyd Hallowell electrics again!

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic service and very competitive pricing. Jack and all his team have been amazing. Had an EV charger fitted and the guy who did it was excellent. Extremely careful and had unbelievable attention to detail as well as being an expert electrician. Would highly recommend this company.

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent service, yet again. The extraction fan in our bathroom had stopped working then a wall heater did the same thing. Appointment made promptly, electrician turned up on the dot, the price was very reasonable and the job was done to a high standard. The fan was replaced and the heater fault fixed. Frankly it is such a relief to have found this company. Though I’d rather not have anything go wrong with our electrics obviously at least I know that if they do I have a completely trustworthy source for repairs. Highly recommend.

I was so pleased that I went with House Rescue for my solar install. The planning and communication was great and made complete sense, the instal itself was remarkably quick and smooth, Jack hand his team were professional, punctual and very hard working. The handover documents were complete and detailed. Overall an incredibly well organised, efficient and stress free job. I am actually looking forward to having Jack back to install the EV chargers!

Rating: 5 / 5

Cannot recommend highly enough - our experience with House Rescue Electrical was brilliant from consultation to installation. The work required was a full rip and replace of the outdoor and garden lights which the team delivered with stunning results. Communication was excellent and we are thrilled with the smart home compatibility. Thank you Jack and team!

Terry is one of the nicest blokes I've met. Felt comfortable leaving him at the house while I went out. Done the job to a very high standard but at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend and wouldn't have anyone else back at my house to do any future work apart from him.

Rating: 5 / 5

Terry did an amazing job of a new fuse board installation and certification. His communications were great and was professional and timely. Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

Terry put a new fuse box in our old house. When our new house needed an upgrade I didn’t look elsewhere. He has also done some other work for us. Reasonably priced, turns up when he says he will and is tidy. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Terry of East London electrical came and done some good work around my house on a couple of occassions. I needed my extension wired sockets and lights back to my distribution board and a certificate after the work was completed. Can recommend him and a fair price too.

Rating: 5 / 5

I have been using their services for years now from fitting a bathroom extractor fan, new lighting, outdoor pond wiring and most recently home EV charger installation. They are always extremely punctual and tidy, provide competitive prices and I feel at ease that the job has been done professionally.

We use Jiten for our fire safety certificates, electrical safety certificate, and PAT certificate. Always give us good service and very reasonably priced, have been using them for many years and they never raised their prices in this time. If you need any electrical work done would definitely recommend.

Magic & team provided outstanding service at short notice, stepping in to install 5 electrical boxes centrally in 5 classrooms during half-term in time for when the learners return. They were not only efficient but also maintained exceptional cleanliness throughout the job. In addition to the electrical work, they went above and beyond by including RJ45 cabling within heavy-duty conduit, which was a huge bonus for our setup. Highly recommend their expertise and professionalism – a top-notch job from start to finish!

Rating: 5 / 5

I've been using Mr. Magic's services for years now, and he’s been fantastic! He helped me remove the old lighting in my previous house, and a year later, I called him back to install an EV charger and new lights in my new place. He really takes pride in his work, and his attention to detail is top-notch. I'll definitely keep using his services for any future electrical work!

Rating: 5 / 5

Magic did a great job for us installing a couple of TVs, a couple of light fittings, a TV unit and a sound bar. He was quick to respond and was happy to spend the extra time making sure he left us with a professional job. I would recommend him to anyone in need of any home electrical work.

Rating: 5 / 5

I would recommend Mr Magic to everyone he came on time was polite and was reasonably in price
