The Fig Leaf is a real find in Romford hidden amongst all the Fast Food and generic chains. I had…read morenever been here before as always thought it was more of a lunch/cafe type place but it was busy on a Friday night so we checked it out. Good choice of Greek/Meditteranean food and prices were great, a starter for £2. My partner had the Iskender, it was delicious and I had Lamb Kofte in a wrap with cheese and rice and sauce on the side. I probably wouldn't go here for a special meal but was a real change teamed with good service and we had fun trying to name all the 7 wonders of the world which lined the walls.

Skinny Cappuccino please :)…read more Hurray a proper coffee shop in Barkingside High Street! This store is cosy, there are a couple of sofas/comfy chairs and outdoor seating, so it accommodates a cold blustery day or a warm sunny day. The staff are really friendly, James is the manager there and he is very welcoming and introduced himself to me as I'm very much a regular, which was very nice. It has been open less than a year and I am a big fan, the only gripe I have is that their internet does go down from time to time which means you can't visit Yelp, but also you can't pay by card =/ and if you are like me and pay by card for everything this can be quite frustrating. Tip: Pay by cash Tip 2: Ask for a Wifi code when you are paying if you need it

With a relaxed, comfy décor and friendly staff to cater to your every sweet- tooth desire, take a trip down to Cakes and Shakes and reward your well-deserving self!
