Lovely little cafe and gift shop on Plaistow Lane. It serves teas and coffees as well as really yummy Treat cupcakes that are worth the trip!
Usually a few other types of pastries and cakes are available as well, but this is completely the best yummy mummy hangout around.
The front part of the cafe is small, with a few tables in the window and the collection of cooking books, Teapigs teas, kids toys and homemade gifty things like cake stands and aprons etc. To the rear there are more tables in a conservatory area that opens onto a lush garden with grass and kids outdoor play toys.
I believe they have free wi-fi as well.On our last visit, my friend and I sat in for coffee and huge almond croissants and then got a bunch of dried lavender and a mixed cardbox box of 4 cupcakes to take home. It's not the cheapest cafe around, but definitely the nicest. They also do lunchtime sandwiches etc and I think are launching a new menu. read more
