Breakfast lunch options in Loughton

“Gail's are 5* for all their products. This store has the edge over others because they have 3 lovely sales staff who are so helpful and friendly.”

“Fabio’s is something special. He has the best coffee in the area - hands down. Even Nero doesn’t come close to the quality. Always a joy to see him. The cannoli are incredible. He’s been keeping me sustained for my training sessions for months now and I find myself detouring to his place to get a coffee. You know it’s a damn good coffee when you’ll add time to your daily commute!”

“Lovely desserts and mains. Lovely hosts. It was heaving but we got a seat quickly. Nice place and good quality. Staff and owner were nice.”

“My friend Nela and I visited Hive Cafe for the first time today, we were very pleased with the service and enjoyed delicious Chai Latte's and Falafel Wraps, we Highly Recommended this cute and warm cafe. We'll be back to try their very famous Award winning pizza.”

“Organic corner shop / supermarket / coffee shop. Very friendly staff and quite knowledgeable of eco-friendly affairs. We just stopped for coffee and a pastry, sat outside in the sun. A very nice experience all round. For what it's worth, they also have a great selection of single malt whisky bottles.”

“Took me a while to try this place because I'm usually a believer of Jack of all trades, master of none. But this place is really good at it all. Fried chicken on point. Pizzas better than dominoes. Indian food fresh, hot and plentiful. Deliver fast enough, both times quicker than time given. Can pay cash, card or PayPal with no fees and free delivery. Are fair and have given me more chicken or more wings because they said they were quite small which is awesome. It's my new go to takeaway. Keep it up!”

“I am a regular customer at here. Coffee always good and friendly staff. Thank you for being awesome.”

“Always incredibly friendly service…puts a smile on my face! Amazing food at a reasonable price. Always a go-to breakfast/lunch location”

“I wanted to say what a lovely, welcoming, warm place this is. It's not only a good place for my son, it's a good place for me. It's a great way to meet other mums, and other children to connect and play. It's clean, fun, and the staff are so friendly I will really miss them as I'm moving to another area. I hope I find somewhere that we love and visit as regularly as this place. Cant recommend enough! X”

“My family and I have been coming to Vivaldi for years and we love it. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and always remember our usual orders. The food and drink are always lovely, with a relaxing atmosphere and nice surroundings to sit both inside and outside.”

“As an all day eatery I think they've got this place absolutely spon-on. Please don't change a thing! Very attentive service. Plenty of polite (well-trained) staff, no waiting, taken to the table. Table service impeccable. Hugely impressed. Piping hot food (and coffee) came quickly, fresh and with good quality ingredients, the breakfast was plentiful and was cooked to perfection. Eggs although "fried" on the menu were more like a beautifully steamed - almost poached egg consistency. Gorgeous. Hell, they even open the door for you on the way out. I'll definitely be coming back.”

“Very nice fish and chips. Fresh every time. It is not often that we get a family take away. But when we do this is top of our list. Friendly staff as well. Someone has commented that is cash only. That may have been when they first opened. You can pay by card, no problem. Most of takeaway packaging is paper. Although still some polystyrene for the chips portion. I will mention to the staff next time I order. It would be nice to cut on plastic wherever possible.”

“Fully recommend the wonderful afternoon tea. Beautiful selection of cakes and sandwiches. Lovely attentive staff, all in beautiful surroundings.”

“Food and coffee made with care and attention and friendly professional staff.”
