Central Park Cafe in Newham

wholesome vibes, such a great community space and the cakes are banging !

Friendly atmosphere lovely staff even lady who comes for crafting on tuesdays

Very rude staff. Miserable lady should quit if she isn't happy in her job.

Average and massively overpriced. A poor substitute for the previous management who had interesting food that people wanted. Often completely empty even on hot summer days. Staff smoking behind the counter and visibly poor hygiene. Ice cream incredibly expensive compared to major brands. You should avoid it. Better to buy from nearby ice cream van. Pity I can't give it zero stars. Worst park cafe I have ever visited. Visited it again today july 24 . Still expensive. Soup and. Bread £6.80. No better then when I went last time. Coffee bland

Love this place, it's been my lifeline whilst on maternity. In fact my Monzo app told me it's where I spent the most money last year😂 the cakes are amazing, they always have a vegan and gf option the staff are super friendly and it's very relaxed in there.

Brilliant place and truly delicious food. All handmade and fresh. We had soup of the day with sour bread. Very tasty. Plenty of seating inside and out. Loads of open space around to go for a walk if you need some quiet time, or a day out with family and friends.

I used to love that place, but something changed and not for the good.

There aren’t a lot of options when I came by and also didn’t seem like a typical cafe. They served a few basic dishes which tasted ok. The coffee was ok too. Nothing special but I would say very kid friendly / accessible. Feels like a pop up kitchen rather than an established cafe which may be what it is, but I was expecting a little more. Staff friendly enough, lots of high chairs and spacious. Just didn’t have a warm feel to it when I came by.

I went to the Supper Club hosted by the chefs collection and Acid foodunism. It was amazing. The Vegan scallops and Kimchi summer rolls were totally delicious. It's very good value. I would definitely go again

Had a delicious meal at the pop up restaurant on Friday night. All vegan 😊

The must-have visit this place. It's absolutely Oasis of the Centre Park. The food, the coffee, and the friendly people were fantastic. We recommend all people to try their 🍞

After purchasing two herbal teas I asked if there was a customer toilet to which the lady (wearing a headscarf- I only mention as I do not know her name) said yeah out back, I said so I have to go outside and around to which she rolled her eyes and said NO if I wanted you to go outside I would tell you, it's at the back of the shop. I didn't make a point of correcting the blunder she had made by saying "OUT BACK" just took my teas. Shes rude and needs to be restrained!

The opening times are perfectly attuned to my circadian rhythms. The food and coffee are also excellent.

The best cafe in and around Central Park, and further. It's a lovely, relaxed place with friendly staff. I haven't tried the sweet stuff but the soups are very good. If you eat in you'll get a generous bowl with some chunky slices of their own yummy sourdough bread.

I like coming here when I can, but the opening hours are prohibitive. The service is good and friendly, the food is nice, the hot drinks can be hit or miss depending what you order but overall it's a very good cafe with a great community vibe. If it was open in the mornings from 8am that would be ideal for people that work from home or in the area and want to grab a coffee and breakfast before work. 5 stars if it was open earlier.

Such a nice atmosphere - friendly staff, comfortable and cosy seating, and great coffee and cakes.

Lovely food made on the premises. Porridge for breakfast while my kitchen is being refurbished is a joy. The flapjacks, toasties and soup are also very good.

Came here late 2022 just before Christmas and loved the entire atmosphere. The entire park was cold and snowy and I loved drinking a warm coffee and having a brownie here. :) Very good place for baked treats/breakfast, but they do a variety of other options such as soup which you can get if you aren't feeling breakfast. Definitely plan on returning if the weather gets as cold as last year - very quaint and humble place which I love. Not too outlandish, just right for a cafe. One thing I'd improve though is the pricing - not very accessible for those who enjoy this place on a regular basis. I'd definitely be a regular if they had a low cost tea/coffee option.

The best cafe in the area by some margin - five stars for the quality of the products and the location - their signature brioche with custard is excellent and unique, everyone going there should try it. Dog friendly, too.

If I'm in the area I'll pop in four hours parking next to park great breakfast 🥣 lovely jubbly

Beautiful, cosy place like home

A lovely independent cafe in the park with homemade food and a wide range of cakes.

GREAT chilled atmosphere.. tasty coffee delicious brownies and a nice crispy bread loaf.

I find this place so hit and miss. The staff seem lovely but they really need training on the coffee machine, and the portion sizes go from famine to feast, and when it's the former and you're hungry, it's a little frustrating, as we my experience with a very small bird of frittata today. I'd recommend asking to be shown what portion size you'll get of a given item on the lunch menu if you want to be sure of something other than a small snack

Lovely gem in Newham, such amazing baked goods, baristas are soo lovely and kind, chai latte is great too. But it does upset me that the prices are inflated for Newham and it probably isn’t accessible to the average person living here. There should be cheaper tea available for sure and at least ranges of cheaper things and higher prices. — coffee isn’t the best tasting and dog owners in the cafe have been quite rude when I’ve been sat inside. I’d love it if baristas enforced dogs on leads inside the cafe!! :)

Toasty are always burnt even after reporting this to the staff. This is the second time I’ve ordered this and has turned out the same. Never used to be like this.

Not a great experience. I used to come here regularly and have the kimchi and cheese toastie so thought I'd grab one today after not having been for a while, what a disappointment. £6, was much smaller than it used to be, cheese tasted completely nondescript - just "yellow", service took forever and the server kept touching her hair. The pricing is way off these days as well - £7.80 for a vege soup and slice of toast? I recommend Applecart in Plashet park - they're not the fastest either but food is yum, better value for money, homely atmosphere and the staff are lovely.

This is a really nice cafe fresh cakes and bread cooked onsite the smell is amazing and the staff are really nice

As a long term resident of East Ham, it is pleasure to see this cafe opened again after being closed for a long time. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I had a proper cup of coffee and a freshly baked chocolate brownie. Oh, I also bought a sourdough loaf for later.

It’s very lovely place to to have snacks and chitchat with your friends

Great coffee and incredible homemade bakes. A winner.

We sat out side and had iced coffee

Ciche, spokojne miejsce dla spacerowiczów z dziećmi

The sausage rolls are delicious 😋

One of the most beautiful and tasteful sourdough loaves you can buy in London. Coffee was really good and food nice too The staff and ambience were good

Friendly family sort of place, nice food and the capuchino was delightful

Favourite cafe in the area. Quiet, incredible coffee, great food in the middle of a lovely park. Best place to spend any morning.

Lovely food, great service and an amazing coffee from the young man with the long hair! 😊

Such a lovely cafe in the middle of the park! Great friendly staff and the sweet treats are a delight ❤️

Enjoy your coffee with super test like no other here atmosphere is good

This place has made east hame come alive and is the center of everything good in the area. Great coffee, cake and savory snacks too!

We know this place for a long time, food is amazing, but place is dirty and tables also need to clean more.

Excellent coffee, delicious food and everyday you are greeted with new, unexpected goods from the bakery, one of the shining highlights of living in East Ham.

Reasonable prices. convenient location. I liked everything very much!

Amazing cheesecake, really good. Long wait but hey ho it's a park on the weekend and only one person serving.

Cosy, clean, friendly service but ridiculously overpriced. I had a latte and pastry takeaway there this morning. latte came in a tiny cup and was half filled with froth and the few sips of coffee was not hot or great tasting. The pastry was good but too sweet for me. That set me back £6.20 :( I would expect to pay that in Central London not in East Ham 🤣

An excellent cafe with great choice of food

Visited again today. Still incredibly overpriced. £6.80 for soup and a slice of bread. £5+ for a toasted sandwich. Coffee very expensive, cheaper in Costa. £3.80 for a children's toasted sandwich. Overpriced crisps. Nothing to recommend it. AVOID

I come here nearly every morning. Lovely coffee and bakery treats. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.. well done Sophie❤️

We had a walk here with our son, was amazed at what is on offer, home cooked food we had their home made sour dough bacon sarny's and home made cakes together with great teas and coffees. Very retro, children's exchange clothes for sale which is a great idea as we are all watching the penny's and other items too. Mothers meeting friends with their young ones, some people working so hot desking, hope of activity and cultures. If I had one small comment it would be not enough outside seating, so we had tecame free.o stalk and pounce when a table became free, however inside seating is great with large tables. It helped us all unwind from what is a troubling time for us personally at the momen and get awtay from the rat race...

If only I could give more stars. Lovely food and a great cup of tea. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Ally. I made an awful mess, spilling hot tea everywhere. Embarrassing for an adult to make such a mess, so I was expecting at least an eye roll from the staff, but Ally was so polite and helpful. I can't praise them enough.

Great service and the coffee Great! worth a visit 👍🏽☕

Lovely bread and a great space for families and kids

Lovely spot for something to eat. I especially love how all the staff interacted with each customer and every customer, and you can certainly see why they have loads of regulars. Lovely coffee and they have retail bags of Caravan if you’re a home brewer like me xx

Delcious, homemade food and friendly service. Great for children as has books plus a play area just outside. Rustic decor. Accomodates dogs

Nice park cafe with a great kids playground adjacent. Serves healthy options...very nice but quite expensive for the area which generally limits the clientele to the more affluent residents of Newham. Would not be out of place in Hackney or Islington.

Good, healthy food, good service.

Great coffee and the bread pudding is so good

Really good soup with sourdough, freshly baked goods and hot drinks. Really good cafe to have in the park! Could be cosier, toilets are a bit dingey but overall a nice experience!

Cosy, family friendly place with delicious cakes and tasty savoury treats like toasties/soups/fritata etc

What a gem!Perfect for a coffee catchup with friends with the bonus of purchasing some freshly baked bread....especially in this "Indian summer" weather

Friendly staff, Delicious coffee and a hot chocolate. Yummy bakery ❤️ Will visit again soon

Great cafe with wonderful home made food at great prices. Excellent coffee and facilities.

Atendimento exelente. Excelent reception.

Was bit too crowd. But like the choise of food and beverage

Great place for a coffee - nice bakery foods - lovely little cafe

We had lunch at this cafe today, excellent vegetarian food and good cake. Prompt, friendly service and located in a very pleasant park.

Small, clean very well, quick services, excellent communication highly recommend

Wonderful little café, with some amazing daily baked cakes and pastries, would highly recommend stopping by.

I love this cafe! The staff are always lovely and it is very family friendly. The food is delicious and it has the best coffee in town.

Lovely place with great staff. The coffee can be a bit hit and miss- scalding hot or cold milk and not always the most expert barristas but they make up for it with lots of charm and great homemade goodies. Wonderful location which has transformed this part of East Ham.

Exceptionally friendly staff with a very personable approach to the customers. I am, much to the detriment of my bank account, a regular coffee drinker and I absolutely love coming to this park side cafe. The coffee is lovely and on the odd occasion, when I have eaten, the hot food is delicious. I do however favour the sweet delights and these are quite honestly the best locally sourced and freshly prepared treats that anyone could ask for. With seating both inside and out, the choice of staying and doing some work is very relaxing as you can watch the world go by on a summers day outside or you can comfortably cosy up inside and transport to a world of your own while you work. Highly recommend giving this place a try! Keep on Supporting local businesses

Called in to my local park,. Coffee and cake and friendly service.would recommend.

Good range of food in the cafe, though my sourdough toastie was very overdone. Staff were friendly and thank god there's a toilet.

Coffee depends of weekdays, but taste way better than anywhere around.

Great food with an ever expanding menu of bites to eat. Always friendly staff with a real interest in baking fresh cakes, treats and surprises. Highly recommend dropping in on your next lap of the central park for a coffee to meet the super friendly team. A proper hidden gem!

Great vibe, friendly staff, good service , a wonderful place for local families

Awesome food, great bread, lovely staff, a great place in the Newham Central Park

Best bread in London and always a smile 😃

I love this local, independent café. The chocolate brownies are amazing as is the sour dough bread and sausage rolls. As you can tell I've tried a few things of the menu. I highly recommend this café. Enjoy!

Very pleasant place with kindly staff😊

Loved it nive and friendly community

The cakes are amazing and all hand baked by the staff. A chilled out, relaxed atmosphere.

Great for families. Awesome staff, and good food

Are they offering work experience to year 10. if anyone is going can you ask?

Home made bread etc. Friendly staff in a almost hidden park with a fascinating history

This is a excellent park to visit it's got to 3 tennis courts, it as a bowling green, two table tennis tables and it as very excellent play area for the kids to play , and it as a very good Cafe that does excellent food .

Great food, especially the bread Sophie makes daily. Big, airy space where to have lunch, friendly service.

Nice little cafe middle of park, but very overpriced...

Great place for mums with their little ones

Great place to relax and let the world go by

Really like this cute little cafe, in the middle of a lovely park, with a kiddies swing park right outside the cafe. Lovely coffee & homemade cakes. Toilets clean & fantastic baby change facilities.

Lovely cafe, great food, reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Best chocolate brownie you'll ever have (rich but with a hint of salt), gorgeous coffee in charming mismatched crockery, fresh bread, soup, savoury food, lots of different cakes and buns. Kids' play area too, judging by the families it's very kid friendly - but lovely for a solo coffee and cake too.

Warm welcome from the new team that have just taken over. Delicious almond milk flat white and a flapjack in, and a loaf of their freshly baked bread to take away, were excellent. Decent choice of juices in the fridge for kids and a world class playground adjoining make this a seriously parent friendly spot for East Hammers.

Proper coffee and great food, friendly welcome! Nice little gem.

Brilliant place now it is under new management!!

New managements with a great focus on high quality food .there is artisanal bread , homemade cakes, and the coffee is local roasted. Good space for kids if you have one . Impressed by how it changed.

Най - красивият парк в източен Лондон !!!

Best coffee in East ham. Try the peanut butter blondie
