Ramble Cafe E7 — Restaurant in London

Lorna and the team do an incredible job in this little hidden away gem under a train arch between car garages.

The service is always warm and welcoming - they effortlessly remember your name and your order (no matter how obscure your coffee preferences are for different milks, specific drinks containers, lid or no lid?)

The cinnamon buns are the main reason for a visit - you can smell them a mile off and are baked fresh in house every day.

Other items on the menu (which changes to keep things exciting!) are always a hit. I dream of their granola and their salmon on toast.

Some indoor seating for roughly 20-24 people and also covered outdoor seating on picnic benches for those sunny days.

The only possible downside is the fact the car garages are next door making it a little loud, busy and you need to watch out for reversing cars as soon as you step out the front door. Make sure bikes and prams are tucked right in!

However it is a firm favourite in our household and a must visit after school drop off...

Tucked away under the arches just by Wanstead Flats, this café really is a hidden gem. The space has an unpretentious charm, with exposed brick and a relaxed, welcoming feel that makes it perfect for a quiet coffee or a catch-up with friends. The coffee itself is fantastic — rich, smooth, and clearly made with care by someone who knows their craft. What truly stood out though was the Basque cheesecake: creamy, delicately caramelised, and tasting exactly as it does in Spain, a little slice of the Basque Country right here in East London. The staff are warm and genuine, the atmosphere easygoing, and the whole experience feels authentic without trying too hard. If you’re near Wanstead Flats and in search of something special, this place is well...

Is this the same place I've been to? I've now been 3or 4 times all in an attempt to give it the benefit of a doubt. Everytime I've gone their cinnamon buns Have been rock hard, burnt with barely any cinnamon. They last time i went my friend ordered a lunch which ended up being 5 pieces of tender stem broccoli with bbq sauce for £6!! We asked if they would be making anymore buns as it was international bun day and they had run out (at 12 pm). The staff were rude and said they couldn't keep buns in stock yet 20 minutes later they brought out fresh cinnamon buns and pistachio ones as well! If you're craving cinnamon or cardamom buns done right please save yourself the hassle and go to...
