First time here. The choclate sauce they had was easily the best iv had in a long time and best in green street. The stand out for me was the cheese cake with the choclate sauce its a must try. Decor is really nice but not much seating. Easily one of the better dessert places in the area

I recently indulged in the Classic Mango Shake at Coco Green St and was thoroughly impressed. The shake was a delightful blend of sweet and tangy mango flavors, perfectly balanced and refreshing. The texture was smooth and creamy, making it a perfect treat on a hot day. Salman was incredibly friendly and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. He ensured my order was prepared quickly and accurately, and his positive attitude added to the overall ambiance.

I am very impressed with the quality and standards of food and service. Very clean and tidy shop, and very pink! I would highly recommend this place after my pleasant experience. Gentleman behind the counter did a 10/10 job making my lovely donuts. He also asked for my honest review. Well, here it is, it was fantastic and delicious! Keep up the good work. We will visit again soon!

This is a really cute and pretty cafe on the corner of the road in Green Street. Aesthetics on point, makes for a nice pit stop for a sweet treat. What caught my eye about this spot compared to other dessert cafes is that it is completely boycott friendly. The owner was super friendly and informative, gave us great customer service and served us up real quick too. We asked for the best seller which was their mini donuts, now in my personal opinion, the donut itself was perfectly light and fluffy but the batter itself wasn't sweet enough for me as it tasted bland without the chocolate. However, the kinder milkshake was amazing. Top notch attention to detail and care. I'll definitely pop in again to try some of their items.

Following a satisfying lunch at the neighboring SMASH restaurant, I proceeded to the adjacent dessert establishment. I found the ambiance, beverages, and desserts to be quite impressive. The Sweet Dream Crepes were exceptional, and I would also recommend their drink selection. The pricing was reasonable.

First time we went here for brunch and had the sweetest time. My husband ordered the buttermilk chicken burger, I ordered eggs on toast and we both tried the Biscoff banana French toast. All of it was delicious, well-prepared, and a very good portion sizes. The French toast probably was the best we’ve had in London yet (and we’ve lived here all our lives!). The staff are attentive and the place is really clean. A truly hidden gem. Can’t wait to be back to try the desi breakfast - I saw someone ordered it and it looked dreamy!

I would like to say that I had a really good experience today at Kaffiend. We ordered the American breakfast, Kaffiend breakfast, buttermilk wrap and the beef burger. The presentation was amazing and all the food tasted exceptionally good. The flavours were perfect and the pistachio french toast was really fluffy and had the right amount of sweetness. The flavours were on point. Me and my family had a really good experience and the staff were really friendly. I would definitely come again.

Had just latte so my comment is only on their latte. Not bad at all, we like it a lot and reasonably priced. Has the strength and appropriately warm/hot. Great location just beside Upton Park Station. Friendly and helpful member of staffs.

What an excellent find. This halal eatery definitely trumped my expectations on all fronts:food, service and ambience. Mouth watering delights consumed: Full English, Eggs Royale & The Maple Syrup & Mixed Berries. All dishes aesthetically pleasing on the eye and supremely tasty which left my taste buds yearning for more. High on my list for a revisit. A must visit for everyone.

The staff are so thoughtful and friendly, we’re so lucky to have the Can Club on our doorstep! Food is always great, both my kids and myself love the meals/snacks. And if you’re looking for something to do on a Friday after school the family disco is such a brilliant way to end the week!

The Can Club recently hosted my son’s 1st birthday party and it was amazing!! We had around 30 adults and 10 children between the ages of 0 and 4 and it was the perfect celebration! Laura was so attentive and helpful during planning, we had the most wonderful food spread for adults (we got lots of comments about how delicious the food was!) and a kids pasta bar which was perfect for the age range. They set up a number of activities for the babies / children including a ball pit, sensory area, art corner and carnival games, and a mini ‘disco’ to close the party which was so much fun for all ages! The party was winter wonderland themed and Laura and Laura really helped us achieve this was all of their little details and they were brilliant with facilitating all my requests. I honestly can’t recommend the Can Club enough - a huge huge thank you for our dream party!

We just had our son’s birthday party here and it was amazing. They were super helpful with sorting arrangements in the run up to the day, finding out our son’s interests so they could make sure they had the best toys out for him and his friends, as well as giving us options on what they could provide. For the actual party they could not have done more - friendly, helpful, so entertaining with the children and engaging them in fun games, adapting to the typical British weather making outside harder to use. Thanks so much to Laura and Laura for an excellent party!! Looking forward to popping in for a Friday disco soon.

We celebrated our son’s 6th birthday party at the Can Club and what a great event that was! Kids and adults had the best time, the kids pasta was delicious and I couldn’t get over the little touches for my TFL-obsessed boy. Everyone loved the disco and Laura & Laura were incredible throughout with entertaining the kids and ensuring everything ran smoothly, while the parents enjoyed wine and coffees in (relative) peace. I really recommend the Can Club if you want to have the most amazing party or enjoy a wonderful lunch while your little people play and explore.

I’ve been to Tamping Grounds a few times now, and it’s already my favorite coffee spot. They’ve got everything I love in a cafe - amazing coffee (both regular and decaf), super friendly baristas who are always welcoming, and a really cozy atmosphere. My long black is always perfect, and my wife’s flat white is spot on every single time. They’ve never let us down! I also love that they sell high-quality whole beans to take home - it’s a coffee lover’s dream. The place is always buzzing with families and has such a nice vibe. One of my favorite things to do is take a walk around Wanstead Flats and then pop in here for a treat. It’s the perfect way to spend the morning. I haven’t tried their toasties or pastries yet, but they look amazing, so that’s next on my list. For somewhere that’s only been open since last year, they’re absolutely smashing it. I can’t wait to keep coming back! Definitely recommend checking it out!!!

I Went with my daughter to grab hot drink and snacks. Saw the price board its not expensive same as other cafes. Service was great the guy was friendly. I tried their pink kashmir chai was little strong for me and my daughter. Would go again. They provide varieties of snack but since we went in the evening they were most out of it. Love the deco.

I went here to grab a muffin because I was FAMISHED after shopping in eastham as one is . And I got a muffin for 1.00 it was a triple chocolate chip one as big as my head. AND OMG. In this economy?!? It was amazing so soft so filled. And sooo squidgy. Then the sister gave me a school cake too. It was perfectly priced. BECAUSE IT MELTED IN MY MOUTH. I never school cake could taste like that .?!? Because it didn’t in my school. It was so moist, thicc layer of icing and just bombastic. 😅♥️ No but In all honesty. The vibes were so peaceful. It’s the perfect place to chill with friends over coffee or do uni work etc

It's been over a year since I've been at this place. However, the food is still good. The price is increasing slightly, but you can still get a roast dinner with a new realm of £20, so I bought one and my friend one. Great venue. I'm sure they have a lot going on during the week, and, of course, I'm always happy to come back again.

Possibly the best Sunday roast in London. Absolutely delicious feast, everything was perfect. Having been there before the non-Sunday roast food is fantastic as well. Great craft beer menu, kid friendly (there’s a little train for them to ride!), adult friendly (there’s a ‘no kids’ area), dog friendly… they cater for all!

Came around at 11:30am. Soup was piping hot as they came freshly cooked. Cream of parsnips soup was balanced and had a lovely touch with the parsnip crisps. Butter was hard, which was due to the cold weather. Lychee and coconut drizzle was with a sweet glaze, the cake was moist. Would come here again.

Lovely little cafe run by such kind and helpful people who seem super invested in their customers and wider community. I worked remotely here for a whole afternoon — great vibes, playlist, coffee, and the toastie, panzanella salad and kombucha were all top notch, too. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!

After months of trying to find a nice little coffee spot in the area, this place was finally revealed to me, and I’m very glad to have found it. A nice place, tucked quietly out the way, offering outside seating, as a perfect sun trap for the afternoon. The coffee was delicious and the cinnamon bun went down very nicely with it. Looking forward to coming back and sampling the rest of the menu!

We used Wild Goose Bakery for a chocolate 30th birthday cake and our vegan wedding cupcakes. We can't recommend them enough! Both times they were a pleasure to deal with a simple ordering system and great communication throughout. Both cakes looked incredible and so SO tasty. We were so happy and our vegan guests at the wedding said they are the best vegan cakes they have tasted. Wild goose even catered for our gluten intolerance guests using gluten free flour for a batch of cupcakes which folks were so happy about. Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Wild Goose for cake orders again. - We are also obsessed with getting coffee, cakes and bread (at both sights) it's always brilliant and worth the trip!

An amazing place! Great vibe- fabulous food and coffee. This child friendly, dog friendly, vegan friendly, family-run bakery caters well for the community; it is a spacious and inviting environment to relax and have a chat with others. The shop has a selection of goodies and locally made produce to buy. Don't expect a large menu- this is a small business, with delicious, natural, and wholesome food to tempt your tastebuds! Here, you will find the best sourdough bread in the area, made by the very talented chefs. But for me, the highlight is the Wildgoose cakes... unbeatable!

Hidden gem independent bakery shop around Forest Gate area. Really great quiet place if you want some nice coffee and some lovely snacks to go with. They do some lovely hot dishes too but would think some of their pastries are freshly made. You can always grab some lovely homemade bread here too. The kitchen is just next to the main store. Definitely good place to come for lovely brekkie!

Great little gem not too far from forest gate station. Wildgoose has a ton... A TON of bakery options (you'll be spoilt for choice). And they taste great! I'd highly recommend the almond croissant here as well as some of the cake slices. The service is great. The coffee is good and reasonably priced at about £3 per coffee. The only downfall is "sitting in" means you're sitting outside which is great in the summer but during winter days... I avoid it. They have a great option for frozen bakery to make at home. I haven't really tried the food beyond quiches and sandwiches (which are great). But they have a kitchen serving breakfast/brunch too Definitely worth checking it out if you're local or in the area.

**A Special Thanks to Mahdi for His Impeccable Service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️** This review reflects my recent visit to the lounge. 🚗 **Parking:** Parking is typically free after 6pm and all day on Sundays. 💨 **Shisha:** Paan x PMS 🎼 **Music:** It felt like they had my personal playlist! The volume was perfect for having conversations. 🍔🥃 **Food/Drinks:** One specialty soft drink. 🧧 **Bill:** £35.50 🎎 **Service:** The service is generally great, but it’s exceptional when Mahdi is around. 🧐 **Final Thoughts:** Would I come here again? Absolutely. I’d definitely return for the delicious food, pleasant ambiance, and top-notch shisha. I've been here several times when I'm in the area, and it consistently meets my standards.

The guys here are on point with their service, but let’s begin with their lamb sheesh with the hint of that naga spice. Perfectly cooked on some rice with a little bit of salad to keep things healthy. Followed up with a strawberry crepe with that fresh ice cream on the side. 10/10. Not many places I’ve been that know their dark leaf Shisha mixes, I asked for a mix made by the in-house Shisha connoisseur, the guys know their stuff SERIOUSLY! Amazing experience and certainly worth the visit for all Shisha smokers

This is from Saudi Eats in London, with 60k+ followers across social platforms. Instagram & Tiktok: saudieats.ksa This beautiful dessert & shisha spot is definitely a hidden gem. Top Notch cafe to visit with your partner or friends 💕✨ We got to try out their best sellers💥 - The waffles in this place is out of the world (Whiteberry is amazing 🤩), definitely the best I we have had in East London. - Cookie dough was crunchy and chocolaty all at the same time, left us wanting for more. 🤤 - The purple smurf sheesha was amazing for it’s price and they also got several cool flavors to choose from. P.S you can add a jelly ice pipe if you’d like 🥶 Overall, The vibe of this dessert cafe was serene. The dimly lights added to a relaxing & cozy atmosphere. ✨ The desserts were absolute on point which wrapped up the experience perfectly. Would love to come again with as many people as possible! 🥰🔥
