Quick info
About Palaette South Woodford
Palaette South Woodford serves breakfast and brunch on High Rd, with the halal "shebang" on the menu alongside the cinnamon pancake, the Mediterranean breakfast, and the gemini breakfast. French toast rounds out the food side, and drinks include fresh orange juice, iced lattes, vanilla matcha, and a blueberry smoothie. Portions run large across the menu. The kitchen closes at 17:00, and the room is walk-in only, so a wait for a table is common and guests are asked to stand nearby until one opens up. A 12.5% service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast and brunch plates draw the most praise, with reviewers naming the "shebang" breakfast most often, described as a halal plate with huge portions, from the hashbrown and sausages to the french toast. The gemini breakfast, the Mediterranean breakfast and a cinnamon pancake that one reviewer called soft and flavorful come up close behind. Drinks also get mentions, including iced lattes, vanilla matchas with the perfect sweetness, fresh orange juice and a blueberry smoothie that won over one toddler. Reviewers repeatedly describe friendly, welcoming staff, and several single out the hostess for making them comfortable on repeat visits. Decor and a warm, family feel are praised too, and one reviewer mentions being given wifi to work on laptops. The recurring caveats are small. One reviewer calls the 12.5% service charge extortionate, and another says the place gets quite busy, describing being asked to wait near the bus stop before a table opened. The same reviewer who criticized the service charge still said they would be back, and another noted the food arrived fast.

“Just WOW! Went for a long walk through the local woods, this was our stop to recharge and refill. Even our toddler, who is usually apprehensive of new places, got convinced straight away by the lovely decor and the blueberry smoothie. The service was lovely, the food arrived fast and was delicious. When I asked my husband what did he like most about the walk, he said unequivocally: the breakfast! So definitely expect us to be back soon.”

“I visited Palette Cafe in Woodford one morning and had a really pleasant experience overall. It does get quite busy, so be prepared for a short wait—I was asked to stand near the bus stop area and was called over once a table became available after about 10 minutes. The food was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the cinnamon pancake and the Mediterranean breakfast. The pancake looked amazing when it arrived and tasted just as good—soft, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The Mediterranean breakfast was also satisfying, with a nice variety of fresh and savory elements. I paired it with a fresh orange juice, which was really refreshing and a great complement to the meal. All in all, a great spot for breakfast or brunch. Highly recommended!”
