Le Parisien Church Lane, London E11 1HE

"Lovely customer service hot chocolate is amazing and the croissant was so soft and beautiful I almost went back to get another and a pan au chocolate. Thank you guys"

"I come here for lunch and I love the food! The staff are super friendly."

"A tiny café, by a tube station, overlooking a bus stand and a little overwhelmed by the local pigeon population, this is an unlikely place to discover a recreation of the Parisian café scene as you could find in a month of Sundays. Nevertheless, the coffee, ambience and selection of eatables are as authentic as you could find outside an episode of 'Allo, Allo' - just be glad that madame doesn't try to emulate Edith's singing - not that she'd be heard above the noise of traffic - both by rail and road. Instead, sit back and enjoy the splendid coffee and pastries - and if they have run out, check out the panini, all made to order and brought to you by an apron-clad servitor. The only thing taking a star away is the chance of getting a neckload of water from the awning - an unfortunate gap means that an ill-directed gust of wind can send a few litres in the wrong place!"

"Nice place, owner very helpful. Good variety of sandwiches . But a lot of pigeons between the tables and a very small interior"

"Nice coffee. Affordable prices. Next to leytonstone tube station. Outside seats. Good for smokers. Sometimes dirty outside. The staff could be very grumpy and moody from time to time. Watch your cup for lipstick mark from previous customer."
