Thingy Cafe 1 Trowbridge Road, London E9 5LD

"We booked this cafe / space for a party for my dad's birthday and it was perfect! We were able to come in earlier on the day to decorate and sweet up some games for the kids in the garden which was lovely! They were really accommodating with regards to music and food etc. Chloe was working and she was very attentive and friendly all evening!! We all had loads of fun!!!"

"Butterscotch French Toast was DELICIOUS but service wasn't the best (reason for 1 star deducted). Our food was forgotten so we waited about 20 minutes for it while everyone else received their orders and left, even people that arrived after us. My husband reminded the employee around this time and we were finally served about 5 minutes later. I also wish the dine-in lattes were served in larger cups for the price, it was like a baby cup. Starbucks matcha latte tastes better than this one in my opinion. This one tasted more like milk than matcha (reason for 2nd star deducted)."

"Simple brunch menu in a community garden. The low prices and moreish shakshuka almost made up for the poor ingredients in the granola and the slow service."

"A hidden gem, I was really happy to find a cafe like this. Food was delicious and very responsibly priced. We had hummus and veg focaccia, pancakes and French toast and they all were good. There coffee is really good as well, we had flat white and hot chocolate and we liked both. Staff were nice as well. The food waiting time was a bit long but as we enjoyed the place the waiting time really didn’t bother us."
