Quick info
About Crowlands Cafe
Breakfast leads the menu at Crowlands Cafe, a cafe on London Road in Romford, where a Turkish breakfast sits on the board alongside the traditional fry-ups for anyone wanting a different start to the day. Plates are cooked to order and arrive hot, and portions run large. Beyond the breakfast options, the kitchen turns out dishes such as a ham and cheese omelette and grilled chicken. The cafe opens daily during the daytime, and it draws tradesmen and workers from nearby construction sites, often before shifts. Booking ahead is advised. A step-free entrance keeps the room reachable for visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. Outdoor seating gives customers the option of eating in the open air.

Customer Review Summary
The cooked breakfast is what brings people back, described repeatedly as simple, filling and served hot, with several reviewers singling out big plates and generous portions for the money. Close behind is the speed: diners describe food cooked fresh to order and arriving quickly, with the early opening called out as the cafe's main draw by one reviewer who frames the crowd as tradesmen fuelling up before a worksite shift, and another visiting regularly while working on a nearby construction site. A ham and cheese omelette draws particular praise, and one reviewer notes the selection extends to a Turkish breakfast. Friendly staff and a clean, well run room come up across most accounts. The clearest dissent comes from a single diner who found the grilled chicken overcooked and uncomfortably tough. Most others report no complaints at all, and several say plainly that they will be back.

“The grilled chicken is quite overcooked and uncomfortably tough, resembling the texture of something inedible.”
