Cafe Mosaic in Epping Forest

Staff friendly. Enjoyed our bacon sandwich and early bird breakfast.

You know what, it might not be the greatest food place in the most glamorous area, but I really like it.

By far the Best cafe in Loughton!

Great place to have something for breakfast. Foods are fresh and cheap.

The ownership has changed I would this café now rude stuff 😒 not very welcoming 😑

Over priced food cold ice cold shop

Very good value, good pitstop. £8 for breakfast including coffee. Good service.

I always get the Chicken kebab been going every week for the past 2 months it has always been 10/10.

Been a lot of cafes hands down this is the best one I’ve been!

They do the best burgers, I go out of my way to have them from here! They're in a flour bun with the most delicious onions, no one does it like this place. I've had the breakfasts too, amazing, and all the portions are fantastic, highly recommended.

Great food as always and amazing service :)

Nice service with a smile ,food was great ,i put 3 stars for atmosphere as it was only 8 15 am

Good cafe with friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfast with bread and tea included.

Popped in for an afternoon bite to eat and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. Natalie was welcoming and so accommodating, which made for a lovely dining experience. I recommend Café Mosaic and would say it is worth popping in to sample their wares.

Food was great and staff quick to serve us lovely atmosphere xxx

One of the few classic diners remaining in Loughton. Good food, good price and good service!

This cafe is such a nice cafe, food is top quality and the staff always make you feel welcome

Had a lovely tasty breakfast Thursday morning. Staff really welcoming. Little gem of a place.

Popped in here with 3 of my pals, amazing food would be an understatement and the service was quick and efficient. Absolute bargain

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

A very less than average place for both food, ambionce and drinks.

Nice place nice people great food

Not as good, eggs always undercooked even though ask for white on top to be cooked, bacon overcooked inedible, bubble undercooked just microwaved, used to love this place, toast is always good, but disappointed, tried it again to give another chance but same issues, need to get their act together, 1 Star for toast

Good food. Friendly staff. Nice and tidy place.

Cracking cafe...Best in Loughton

Just moved in tried 3 places before here and this was spot on ! Great value for your money!

very over priced breakfast ££ toast extra ££ coffee extra ££ il not be going back

Great family run business, amazing food alongside good pricing. Highly recommend

Delicious food and good portions

We used to love Mosaic cafe amazing breakfast good prices however since this lovely family business has changed hands and redeveloped the menu so sorry to say it’s for the worse. The prices have increased astronomically and when looking at the menu it actually does not make any sense… mushrooms and hash browns costing the same price… very odd. The all day breakfasts are far cheaper than the set breakfasts even for the same ingredients… logically it does not make sense and needs a serious review. Even though you can still have a tea/coffee with the set breakfast they have taken away the toast and removed both from the all day breakfast which was always so nice! The food is still really nice but after all the changes I cannot in good conscious give my money to an establishment that has ruined its own integrity, very sadden wish they had the old staff back too!

Friendly staff good service nice food 👍

Staff, Service and food was excellent.

Almost Perfect service, I had to ask for a knife and fork. Delightful pre match breakfast.. Will be my café of choice when I am back in the locality.

Excellent cafe, good food portions and very friendly staff with outside seating in the warmer months.

Food was OK New staff was very friendly.

Nice people in this cafe. It is clean and the food is very good too.

Lovely food, good service, good prices.... a must try!

Good aNd nice place round the corner. Prices are ok. Good service... Stop for a coffee or breakfast.

Great place great service. Been going there for many many years.

Best breakfast for miles. Good value for money and lovely staff.

Great local cafe.Food is always good.

Really good breakfast, full English really well cooked and not at all greasy, You get a really large breakfast a 2 thick slices of toast. Really good and friendly service.

Great local cafe Wonderful people

Good food and very friendly service

The food was great and we have been coming for years ! however the waitress did not clean any tables before anyone sat too eat Lent over you too get things off our table,she also had no protection on. During the time covid 19 I really do not think this is acceptable I will not be returning

Clean, intimate and value for money

Had breakfast here this morning while waiting for the garage next door to open Busy little place , quick service , good prices , good food on massive plates , polite friendly staff , one to try folks 👍🏻

Outstanding, cleanliness,furnishings, welcoming, and the food, highly recommended

no need to test the waters with a bacon roll in this one go straight for the h&c omlette chips and beans or 1/2lb burger .Hygiene 10/10 and a bit free parking out side the news agents opposite, be careful parking on the single yellow line opposite. The parking wardens are like KGB agents around there.

Great food great service friendly atmosphere

One of the best breakfasts around. Huge plates that never disappoint.

Love the place, good value and friendly staff

Always great service, generous portions and lovely fresh salads

Busy cafe, good food at good prices, very nice staff

Best cafe in Loughton, amazing food always served with smile!

Nice lunch. Quick service and almost baby-minding! Friendly staff

Nice little cafe, good food and coffee, never waited long for the food here either!

Buen servicio, buena comida. No hay mucha espera y las porciones son abundantes.

Got to be the best cafe in Loughton been going in here for years they do a great fry up this place is highly recommend

Best breakfast in loughton and such lovely owners always make you feel welcome

We were met with a warm friendly smile that matched the service perfectly. The Americano coffees were well flavoured and came with hot milk. The table was clean and the floor was swept. Other customers were all enjoying their meals and chatting to several of them they were all very pleased with what they had ordered.

Lovely little cafe, friendly staff, quick service and massive portions what more could you want, food was lovely.

One of the best Cafe's to eat or drink. Fast friendly service and very popular. Visited many times and never dissapoints.

As cafés go this is a very friendly place with good food

Great value lovely people. Quality breakfast even for giant vegans

little gem of a cafe, good portions. The waitress Fay after our 2nd visit said she will remember we both don't eat coleslaw; personal service. And the best coffee.

nice friendly service ,super clean kitchen

Lovely food staff are friendly and courteous would recommend there breakfast options or there specials

Great cafe and good staff. I always pop in when I'm in the area.

Our family of four stopped here for lunch and though there are a few issues (its cash only, there’s little seating, the food is ok but not great), the service was spot on.

Amazing food, good price, lovely staff

This is our 'boys lunch' venue. Two or three of us meet up here regularly to catch up and enjoy the grub. It's greasy spoon with class! The fry-ups are amazing but they also do a mean jacket potato and salad. It's not a big place but we have always managed to find one table left to sit at. There are also a few tables outside for the strong and the brave! We are never hurried, the prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly and efficient. What more could you want?

The best cafe in the area, very good food, excellent service.

Best greasey spoon this side of loughton!

Dropped in here after driving over 100 miles before breakfast. Was such a lovely atmosphere, everyone seemed to know each other - in a good way! We had the most delicious breakfasts with smoothies & fantastic coffee. Left with groaning stomachs & a warm glow. We're never likely to be in Loughton again, sadly. But if we ever were, we'd make a point of going back!

Fast, friendly, fantabulas - done.

Had lunch here today, home made lasagna and salad, the salad was crisp and fresh and the lasagna was excellent good filling, good sauce and soft fresh pasta. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

My favourite cafe in Loughton friendly service and tasty food for 2 full English 2 coffees and an orange was around £16

Breakfast is great as per previous reviews, however this is where the greatness ends. I wasn't keen on the environment (I felt like I was sitting IN the kitchen). I had a jacket potato that was a unevenly reheated sad potato and not so great coffee.

The previous reviews say it all. Consistently high ratings. You will not be disappointed. Also has Free WiFi 👍

Good Food .....but the the waitress has to be the rudest person I've ever come across ....maybe take her from the front of house Such a shame

Love this place always grab a breakfast from here when I'm in the area

Food was great, had a salad and they did it exactly as i asked as im very fussy. My friend had a fry up and really enjoyed it

Small cafe, but food does the talking in here! The owner and staff are all lovely people always welcoming and no-one can touch their food for miles and I'm a fussy eater!

Food quality is okay, usually very busy. The staff are superb very welcoming and friendly. Although they are rushed off their feet they still take the time to have a conversation with you.

Lovely little place with great food 10/10! Service was kind and made lovely conversation while waiting for my food because it was a takeaway. Considering I got there 10 mins before closing time they was still very kind and food not rushed and made just to my liking.

Used to go here weekly but not been for a few months. Went there Saturday 25th March with partner and a friend and the food has terrible. Used to be so nice but going by what they served up on Saturday we will not be going back. Staff are nice and it's always lovely and clean but the food has definately deteriorated.

Great food good staff always busy

Always welcomed great staff great food and good value breakfast and lunch options to suit everyone no matter what your tastes are

Great and friendly place with good quality food, would recommend this cafe to anyone

We love this cafe. Friendly staff and food is always more than we expect!!

Great food and really nice staff who always give good service

Place does a wicked breakfast, decent coffee and all with friendly service and a comfortable (if sometimes tight!) seating plan. Always packed on Saturday morning, so get there early or phone and order a take away. Cash only.

Having dropped someone off in Chigwell we were desperate for a coffee and happened to spot Cafe Mosaic. What a happy chance! This is an unpretentious family run cafe and we could do with more like this rather than boring chains. They serve great value tasty food a good value prices, definitely worth a visit.

Nice enough place, prices are good but food quality is OK. Wifi is available

This is great cafe for first rate, no frills food served promptly and with a friendly smile. Look out for the specials and the wraps. Portions are also large so you'd better be hungry. Prices are very fair. If it's sunny you can sit outside and watch the world go by - or at least the cars anyway!

I frequently stop here for the fry ups & the set breakfasts, which are very tasty and great portion sizes. I also go here for sandwiches to go which are equally as tasty and very convenience to order. I would really recommend as all the staff are friendly, food is great and great value for the money.

A lot of these types of ham, egg and chip cafes are pretty run down and stodgy but this one is clean and well fitted. My girlfriend and I both got the bacon cheese burger with chips. So many chips and a tasty cooked burger to go with it. Good stuff

Looking for somewhere to eat on the way home from a family outing we came across this cafe. Finding somewhere to satisfy two fussy vegetarians, a ravenous teenager and two seniors who "know what they like" isn't easy at any time. This place delivers in spades!It is unpretentious and obviously popular with locals. The menu is outstanding with everything from full breakfasts, sandwiches, pies, jackets to omelettes and tortillas with masses in between! We all enjoyed our food and the omelette got a special mention.The service was fast and friendly, the prices very reasonable and our only problem is that it's quite a distance from where we live!If you are in the area do try this little gem.

I just have two things to say............- Why have I only just found this place after living here for years?!- Why does this little gem only have five (now 6 reviews!)?Love this place, great value, lovely food and an appropriate amount of witty banter thrown in by the staff.Keep up the good work, I will definitely be back for those 'hangover' Halloumi breakfasts!!P.S Only downside is that its not open every day.
