For starters the new layout is terrible because if you're sitting in a certain place in the cafe you barely get asked for more drinks Secondly the food takes a very long time to come and so do drinks even though it's mainly water or coke for me And lastly the staff are very flirtatious, one of the staff members began flirting with me and preceded to whisper in my ear disgraceful..

Chain coffee houses or cafes with very little thought put into atmosphere to making it a place you want to hang out in. Zippola has really raised the bar for cafes in Enfield and cafe owners are going to have to work very hard to keep up with their creativity, coffee skills and interior design. The cafe itself is a fantastically put together space with vintage furniture and cosy lighting. I particularly like the water bar as a vintage bar with whiskey decanters. I'm sure I could spend all day in there. Food is great and coffee is really great. Keep it up zippola!

If…read moreyour place is limited in space to entertain or have get togethers, Zippola can accommodate. You have living room space with comfortable sofas, and dining room with antique furnishings that adds character /warmth. For breakfast we ordered cappuccino/americano coffees, scrambled eggs/bacon/toast, and eggs benedict. Service is friendly. Music is not too loud, folks can have their own private conversations without a need to yell. This will definitely be a place for us when we visit relatives in Enfield. Note: free wifi

It's a Portuguese establishment so I think you can order some Portuguese specialties. All together it's the best and only nice cafe up this end of Enfield. Update; ive decided to change my review because the truth is I never go to this cafe anymore. I think its because although the staff are really nice and there really isn't that pressure to leave, the actual atmosphere doesn't really entice me back. What me and OH are really looking for in this area is one of those cafes with reclaimed furniture, rather than PU leather dining chairs. Pictures from local artists (of which there are loads!) and fresh flowers. Home made food rather then just deli sandwiches. I'm thinking soups, stews, baked eggs, cakes, biscuits etc. That would entice me and really put Enfield on the map. Maybe open in the evening or for the early morning commuters? Keep the coffee though. The coffee is great.

My mum wanted to try this place and we went there for a quick lunch. My first impression was that…read morethe place wasn't very clean, second the cakes didn't look very fresh. We decided to order the soup of the day which was tomato soup. We sat down inside the cafe. We were very surprised when the guy started opening two tins of heinz tomato soup. We were shocked but didn't say anything. What he did was he just poured the soup into plastic plates and put them into the microwave and then the "soup of the day" was ready. We paid £6.00 for two soups. They need to learn the term soup of the day which means freshly prepared soup ready to be served. I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends.

Plus the coffee is much better than the free stuff they give you at Waitrose. I'd much rather pay the £1.80 for a drink than get a crappy free drink. So yay for them! They also do breakfast and lunch, and I keep thinking we should try the breakfast out sometime, but we've never been in. But it always looks nice, and on the weekends there are always several people in there eating. The staff is always really friendly and welcoming when I come in as well.

This restaurant/cafe is a real hidden gem. It's tucked away at the back of In-Ex garden centre…read more More often than not you will find that most of the customers of In-Ex are just there for Chelsea Garden Cafe. Each day the have a selection of special. There standard menu consists of breakfasts, sandwiches, paninis mad salads. This place has tripled in size over the years. Even so, this place can still be full at lunch time on any day of the week. They have great filter coffee and a selection of milk shakes. During the warmer months they have plenty of outdoor seating. This is especially pleasant as your in a garden centre with lots of plants and water features. In my opinion the menu is very reasonable. On a side note, there is an excellent hand car wash service in the car park. Some customers choose to get their car cleaned whilst having lunch or have lunch whilst getting their cars cleaned, whichever you prefer.

The farm's tea shop does the best breakfast I've had in the area…read more I went for poached eggs on toast with a couple of 'Speldhurst' sausages on the side. The breakfast menu is simple but the quality of the core produce is way better than anything I've tasted nearby - to date. I've also experienced a number of poached egg disasters at restaurants recently, but these guys nailed it. Hallelujah for the soft warm yolky loveliness... The service was great too - young and friendly staff who were happy to serve and help. I didn't get to see the lunch menu so can't comment on this, but I was also intrigued to learn that Masterchef finalist Chris Georgiou uses this place for a gourmet burger night which takes place from Wednesday - Saturday called Gastronomical. I'll be giving that a try for sure.

This is a great place to hang out with friends, or go to to get a little bit of work done. They also have iPads that customers can use to catch up on news etc. definitely worth checking out.
