I recently had brunch at this charming restaurant and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The food was exceptional - the smoothie with mango, spinach, and kale was a refreshing and healthy start to the meal. The pancakes and French toast were cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was another highlight. The space was beautifully decorated with bookshelves, giving it a cozy and inviting feel. It was the perfect setting for a leisurely brunch with friends or family. Overall, I would highly recommend this brunch spot to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a lovely setting. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu.

A delightful, buzzy cafe with good service and delicious food. This is a regular haunt. The staff are friendly and helpful. The place is often busy, but they handle it well. Lots of delicious breakfast, brunch and lunch options. With veggie and a few vegan options. Food is tasty and portions are generous. This tofu scramble is tasty.

Amazing little place, great food, great ambiance (Latin music played in the background when I was there - my favourite), very nice staff and reasonable prices, which is rare these days!! I had the mushroom dish in the pictures, which was absolutely delicious. I will return for sure!

My server was super, he was quick, cheerful and energetic. Loved the green omelette which is rich and balances well with the avocado on toast that is also part of the dish. Very popular place, so there could be a wait Great for families, groups, to solo. Indoors and outdoor seating.

*Edit* This little cafe just gets better and better. The staff who work there are just incredibly nice people who go above and beyond. Is my Saturday treat every week 😍 Fabulous little family run cafe, the food is lovely and very reasonably priced. There can sometimes be a little bit of a wait due to its size and popularity, but it never bothers me.

Cute neighborhood coffee shop! We ordered flat whites, banana cake, and a babyccino, all were delicious. The flat whites were well made and the banana perfectly moist. The cafe was bright with lots of sunlight. The staff were friendly and quick with their service. The café is very kid-friendly, we brought our 2yr old niece. Would highly recommend Jaunty Coffee!

Had a really good and strong iced Americano and bf had a flat white. The guy serving was really chatty and friendly and gave us lots of walking tips as we were about to do a long walk from Walthamstow on the Victoria line. If around there again I'll definitely come back.

A real gem full of fantastic coffee! This was my first time trying a Cortado and it was excellent, really smooth and rich! This place is well worth a visit, it's very cozy and it has a great local feel and the proprietor supports local refugees by displaying their art and giving them training. Fantastic guy 👍

Alice is a pillar of the Wood Street community! She looks after all of us, and it’s a bonus that she happens to make the best coffee in London. There’s always a treat available for the dog, and I daren’t visit my mum without one or two delicious gluten-free treats from Rebel Coffee.

The pancakes are incredibly fluffy and absolutely delicious – a real treat. The atmosphere is cosy, and the staff are super friendly, making you feel welcomed. The pancakes took around 20 minutes to prepare, but trust me, it was worth the wait because they’re made fresh. It’s hands down one of the best places to visit in the area. I can’t wait to try the full menu. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delighted with my recent visit to Fluffy Fluffy in Walthamstow! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, friendly smile that set the tone for a wonderful experience. The staff were nothing short of excellent—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made me feel right at home from start to finish. I ordered a vanilla iced latte and a strawberry pancake, and both were absolutely sensational. The iced latte was the perfect balance of smooth, rich coffee and creamy vanilla sweetness. It was beautifully brewed and refreshingly chilled—just the thing to brighten up a cold winter's day. The strawberry pancake was a true standout. Thick, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth soft, it was topped with fresh, juicy strawberries that were the perfect burst of flavor. The creamy finish made it an indulgent treat I didn’t want to end. Every bite was a little moment of heaven. The entire space was spotless—clean, cozy, and inviting, making it an even more pleasant experience. You can tell they take great pride in both their food and their environment. I can't recommend Fluffy Fluffy enough—exceptional food, impeccable service, and a spotlessly clean setting. It’s a must-visit, and I’ll definitely be back for more of their mouthwatering creations!

Best pancakes I've ever had and my children agree. My favourite was the strawberry pancake with lashings of cream and strawberry coulis. Huge portions,.melt in the mouth and they tasted scruptious. To add, students get a 10% discount and 1 portion can be shared with 2/3 people.

We traveled from Romford to Fluffy Fluffy in Walthamstow, and it was absolutely worth it! The pancakes were incredibly soft and airy, paired perfectly with indulgent flavors. The Tiramisu was rich and creamy, the Pistachio offered a delightful nutty twist, and the Oreo was pure decadence. Beautifully presented and delicious in every bite, this place is a must-visit for pancake lovers!

A lovely dog cafe. My dog loves coming to Indulgence . He is spoilt here. Having said that,so am I! The venue is super clean. The decor adds to the relaxing feel, of the place. The food is well presented as well as delicious, especially the cakes. The teas have alot of health benefits, so definitely a must in the Winter months. Service is very friendly. The Cafe seems to draw alot of friendly people. The court yard is great for the dogs and market stalls. Also the workshops are varied & interesting.

Love the food, its fresh each day, the cakes are out of this world. It's a great place to take the family and its dog friendly which is a bonus too. It's got a nice outside area for dogs and water is provided for them. Farrah is a warm and friendly person makes you feel at home when you walk in. All the staff are very friendly too. Farrah has a lovely little dog very friendly too. He meets and greets you too... With a wagg of his tail. 🐩. .. The coffee has a lovely flavour too. They do all different milks which is fantastic when you cant have dairy. Lots a vegetarian snack and meat eaters too. So pop in and see for yourself.... Tina

Came across this little gem whilst out on a walk. I'm not familiar with the area so we didn't know where to get a coffee. The venue was clean, and inviting. The staff were really lovely too. The cakes were lively and it was nice to know they are made by local bakers and not commercially sourced. I had the pistachio and rose cake. Huge piece of cake and tasted divine. Not too sweet, nicely flavoured and a bargain price. The lovely lady at the counter mentioned vegan cinnamon buns. She said next time we come to call up to check if we have any. Definitely plan on going back

Been to Indulgence a few times. Really chilled and friendly place to stop for brunch. I've had a chicken pesto panini that was delicious, scrambled egg on sourdough toast which was divine. The coffees and herbal teas always made the way I like them, and the owner is always willing to go the extra mile to customise them a little when requested. The cakes!!! Apart from making me put on the pounds (lbs) lol, amazing selection and the one's I've had so far taste just as beautiful as the next. Look forward to trying other things on the menu.

I had a delightful experience at Querky Cafe! I opted for the butter chicken kathi roll, masala chai, and cheesy chips, and all three were absolutely delicious. The masala chai, in particular, is a popular choice, and I can see why—it's perfectly spiced and comforting. The cafe is spotless, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and kind, making the experience even more enjoyable. I have no doubt that this will become a popular spot in no time. Highly recommended!

I recently moved to the area and visited a few coffee spots, and I can confirm this place has the best coffee! Not only that but they do the most delicious almond and pistachio croissant.

As an American who just recently moved to Walthamstow and was in search of a traditional cup of black coffee, this place satisfies that need. I will not have to keep drinking Americanos because I will get my morning cup of coffee from here. Excellent coffee!
