Great for a coffee and good to know that the money paid goes towards charity. The cafe has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the staff allow you to relax in the cafe even after you've finished your drink or food. The menu has a good amount of choice.

This is a really special cafè. I had a delicious muffin with bacon, avocado and fried egg. Great price. Had no idea all of the proceeds go to homeless charity until I went inside. Really nice welcoming and homely atmosphere inside too. Really impressed with the volunteers especially one guy who was doing so well despite English not being his first language. Will deff go back and would encourage others to go too.

A nice place for the community. Coffee shop and eatery downstairs, gym, and workout room upstairs. Well kitted out.

Great cafe for breakfast /lunch... Great food at an unexpected low price. Very spacious with lovely furniture. Pool table and piono (not only decorative )... Someone (who knows his music) was playing piano while we had lunch... Really nice. Very polite staff. And on top of everything is run by a charity.

This is the place to go for a relaxed cuppa with a friend if you want to actually hear what each other says. Not noisy and hectic like other chain cafês. Very (too!) comfortable seats. Also reasonably priced snacks.

I ordered a full English which amazing, absolute quality!! And the fact that profits go to feed the homeless is even more . I would go there before anywhere else in Romford. Lovely people, God bless them
