Cafe Delice in Waltham Forest

Always pop in for lunch from time to time - and there is always something imaginative on the menu and tasty.. The staff are also very helpful and friendly. Thank you Delice.

He estado en varias ocasiones y en múltiples ocasiones me he encontrado con personal grosero y poca higiene, un miembro del personal estornudó y luego sin manos comenzó a reorganizar los pasteles con sus propias manos. Esto no es aceptable, no lo recomendaría.

Buena variedad de comida con deliciosos pasteles. El personal es amable y acogedor. La cafetería está muy limpia con desinfectante de manos. Las mesas están espaciadas para que las personas puedan distanciarse socialmente.

Visité aquí para tomar el té y el servicio fue excelente. Me atendieron oportunamente un personal muy agradable y amable. Definitivamente regresaremos. Experiencia muy grata.

Pedí un rollo de tocino con tomates fritos. Me dijeron que no ofrecen tomates fritos. Le pregunté si tienen tomates. Sí, y dije que bien, ¿puedes probarlos junto a mi tocino? La niña dijo que le preguntaría al gerente. Quien estaba sentado en su teléfono. ¿Quién dijo que no hacemos tomates fritos? Dije que no hago un mal servicio al cliente y fui a un café al lado para comer un rollo de tocino y tomates fritos. Fue delicioso y amable. Nunca volveré a visitar este café de nuevo.

I ordered a salad nicoise which was described as being made with green beans and potatoes. Salad nicoise can be made with a variety of ingredients, but when it states green beans on the menu I expected more than 2!! The lettuce was yellow and I had one small new potato cut into 4. Also on the plate were 3 thin slices of tomato and half the contents of a tin of tuna dumped in the middle. The menu stated this came with bread. When this didn’t arrive I asked for bread and the waitress got very defensive and said ‘most people don’t want bread’. I wasn’t even asked. My friend’s chicken and pepper baguette was bearly edible, made with sliced chicken and rotting salad. I would avoid this place.

I visited Cafe Delice for a light lunch today. The food was 'okay' but nothing special. The price was a little high for what was actually served/bought. I think this place definitely needs a revamp. It has been the same for the last 5 years or or so. I have the feeling the owner does not really know what the customer wants, ie service with a smile, good food etc. A real shame as this cafe has such a dominant place in Station Road, Chingford, that it should be doing so much better. Sadly, at the moment, I would not recommend.

This place looks inviting when walking past, with the option of outside seating or inside which is surprisingly spacious. Where it is let down is the staff, we arrived not knowing if there was table service or whether you ordered at the counter – it’s the former. It took a while for the staff to come round with the menus, and then time again before they took the order – one warm baguette and two drinks – the delays then really kicked in, they were not busy and even allowing for them freshly preparing the food it took too long to serve up a mediocre offering not inspiring at all.

Stopped off for a coffee and cookie ordered paid and waited. And waited finally when the only other people in the cafe, who arrived after us, received their order coffee, tea and a cake we knew we had been “forgotten”, we look questioningly at the waitress and she said “would you like to order”, the till receipt said we had waited 20 minutes. Could understand if the cafe was full , it wasn’t. As we were waiting for someone from the station we left as we couldn’t wait another twenty minutes. Weird!

If your looking for basic breakfast/lunch food then you won't be disappointed. Don't like the fact that the baguettes are served in a long wicker basket, looks nice but I think they are full of germs as it is impossible to clean them. Although they lay the baguette on a napkin the food still touches the basket. Also I found it strange that I have visited this place many times for a quick coffee whilst walking my well behaved dog and they only allow dogs in the small seated area at the front of the cafe yet they have a lovely courtyard out the back which is quite small but people rarely sit there but they don't allow dogs there. This did annoy me when I visited without my dog and sat inside the cafe with my friend, whilst we were eating breakfast a lady on the next table decided to lay her baby on the floor and change the baby's dirty nappy while I was eating my breakfast. Yuck !

This is a nice quiet place to have a catch up with a friend over a tea/coffee and a cake or as in the case this week for lunch. I also buy baguettes there to eat at home from time to time and the occasional cake too.

Used to come here a fair bit, and I'll still come if I'm looking for somewhere quiet. It seems to have been left in the hands of a few teenagers who don't really care, and that's fatal for any eatery - good customer service is ESSENTIAL. The well-off customers have fled either to the Belgique further down the high street, or up the hill to Butlers' Retreat. If the Café Delice wants to survive, it needs a good manager to lick the staff into shape, it needs to do a decent brunch menu and it needs dragging into this century please!

We went in to have coffee and a baguette as my parents come here once a month. I had a chicken baguette that was off and when I queried this I got told that I don’t like chicken the attitude of the person was horrendous. I know that I will never eat in there again and my parents will no longer eat in there. I will also be writing a letter of complaint

The staff are really lovely quite pricey for a cafe but most cafes are these days. they welcome families so great if you have children and it is always busy. I love their bagels!

This is a lovely café that serves good coffee and the best croissants for miles around (they also do baguettes and other snacks and cakes). On a warm day you can sit out at the front or in the rear patio area, or if it's cold you can sit in the conservatory area or in the main part of the café. Staff are always friendly. Free newspapers available

During the summer the garden area at the back or at the front is lovely and ideal for a drink and snack. However on most visits there is a delay in being served and very often we have to go back to the counter to...

A café that sells 'Le Monde' but non parley vouz Francais? Hhhhmmm. Pleasantly pretentious if that's Your thing, culture is available at other nearby venues. 80(

We stopped here for coffee and panini after a walk in Epping Forest and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere, the efficient service and quality of the food and coffee. There is an extensive menu of sandwiches, panini, patisserie, etc. and plenty of seating...

1st time at Café Delice on a Thursday in March 2017 - Nice small cosy small place that is bigger .... its seating continues behind the original shop line where afternoon sun streams in - loved the interior especially the warm orange Italian floor leading...
