Tasty Cafe is your go-to spot for a proper, no-nonsense breakfast or lunch in Romford. It’s a family-run joint with that classic East End charm—think bus drivers, regulars, and a menu that hits all the classics without any pretense. The Full English is solid, the coffee is perfectly made, and the staff are genuinely friendly. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly the kind of place you want when you just need good food and a warm welcome.
A proper local breakfast spot
Tasty Cafe feels like a slice of old-school London tucked away in Romford. It’s the kind of place where the staff know your order by heart and the coffee is brewed with care. The menu is straightforward—Full English, omelettes, burgers, and light salads—but everything is done well. You’ll spot bus drivers, locals, and anyone looking for a solid meal without the fuss. It’s unpretentious, clean, and consistently good.
What sets it apart is the warmth of the service and the freshness of the food. The breakfasts are hearty and well-portioned, and the coffee is just right—not too bitter, not too weak. It’s not a destination for a fancy brunch, but it’s perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or a relaxed catch-up with friends. If you’re looking for a neighborhood spot that feels like home, this is it.
