  “I've just had an absolutely delicious apple cake and apple carrot ginger drink. The food is fantastic, prices are reasonable and the people are lovely. This combination made my day!”

  “Lovely café in a beautiful park but the prices are a bit wild. I was honestly surprised to see a chocolate ice lolly sold for £3.80, when the same kind of product is £2.20 round the corner at Planet Organic and costs to the shops £1.40. For something mainly aimed at kids, that feels hard to justify. Pricing could do with coming back down to earth a little.”

  “The staff are really rude. I was standing in the queue, pregnant, very hot and trying to get a bottle of water and the staff member served the person behind me. When I asked her why I wasnt served first she was very rude and didn't apologise. I ended up waiting another few minutes for the person in front of me to be finished. Then when I told the girl at the till in the front what happened, she just ignored me, no apology or anything. Really awful customer service.”

  “Always a lovely experience at this cafe, it does get busy at the weekend but the staff work hard and the queue goes down quick enough. The coffee is delicious, especially nice to find good decaf coffee, and there's always a great selection of homemade food. Its so nice to see thriving local businesses and would be such a shame to see anything about this cafe change!”

  “Shame, shame, shame. We attended Christmas Concert on 6/12 outside the cafe. Concert finished around 3:45 so we decided to grab mulled wine and a treat from the cafe. At the till I got drinks, mulled wine, cakes, ice creams. I asked if they are still serving food but there was a short answer ‘no’. Fair enough, they are closing soon and there is a massive queue still. I moved to the table area and the same man who served me shouted straight away: excuse me, no sitting down, we are closing in 5 min. I said: well you haven’t said that when I was just buying a bunch of food and drinks and I was asking about hot food! Now either I need to wait until I eat at least half of it or I can refund it cause clearly I cannot carry it. He didn’t say anything, carried on serving on the till but nearly immediately another worker (Asian woman) came to tell me they are closing in 5min so I cannot sit down and eat. Honestly- disgraceful. You had a Christmas concert, you would benefit a lot from being open for another 30min. You should inform customers before they purchase food that they cannot eat it inside. All you wanted was to cash the money and kick people out as soon as they leave the till- not a great example of customer service. I ended up eating my cake in a rush, standing up and telling my child to hurry up. By the way would be a great gesture for the choir members to at least treat them with a coffee- they brought you customers. But they were told to leave too!”

  “The toilets were closed at 3:30pn on Saturday, the 15th of November 2025. I asked the kitchen staff as he was visible at the side of the toilet area,could he open the toilet as I have a medical condition and need to use the toilet. The cafeteria staff member was so rude he said he worked in the kitchen and it’s nothing to do with him and to ask the park staff. if the park Café is open till 430pm they should be access to the toilet when having a café that serves food and drinks. The staff should be more enabling to be helping get the toilet open when it is attached to the building of the cafeteria. This café is not cheap, and if you can’t even use the toilet when you’re having a drink, I would say this is a issue that needs to be addressed.”

  “So nice to have an amazing local cafe like this!! Can’t believe the negative reviews! The coffee is one of my favourites in London (& I am picky!!) and the food is great, really love the toasties and the falafel wrap (such good value for money too). Lovely staff too, always super friendly! They do great vegan croissants and pain au chocolat too ❤️”

  “I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. THE COFFEE IS AMAZING! Nutty, delicious, perfect. Very rare to come by in general, let alone in a park cafe. I tried a mushroom and emmenthal toasty, decent, not greasy, got the job done. The place has hipster, east London vibes, nothing fancy. Lots of Middle Eastern food options on the boards, which I’m looking forward to trying.”

  “Such an amazing location, and actually quite like the food. But it’s a 25*c day and the doors are locked because “the kids will all run through”. Honestly most ridiculous exclude from the till person I’ve heard for not opening doors to get a breeze on a hot day. Staff not open to feedback, should be better”
