Dada Cafe in Epping Forest

A friendly little cafe .a little expensive things onthe menu .

Service is friendly and treated like a local. Coffee is decent. Outdoor seating on street also.

An absolute delight to visit on a sunny Sunday morning.

Dada is a friendly cafe, with staff who are passionate about giving you beautiful food and considerate service. A great place to meet people, in a lovely community environment.

Such a charming little cafe with quaint tea cups and china. The yummiest, hearty bowl of porridge on a chilly day and delicious latte. Love all the touches and attention to detail.

Lovely small coffee place. Great coffee, good selection of loose leaf tea and tasty cakes

The food was really good, friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

We popped in recently for a quick lunch whilst doing some Christmas shopping. It's a relatively small cafe inside with a number of tables & chairs. We were warmly greeted and found a table straight away. We ordered to mozzarella sourdough sandwich and the beetroot/ goats cheese sandwich, together with coffees. Both sandwiches were freshly prepared ( which took a little longer than having a prepared lunch) and both were super tasty and filling. The coffees were prompt and hot, with the cappuccino having a sprinkling of dried raspberries on top. A bit pricey but that's typical for the local area. We would definitely recommend and will return. Thank you.

Delicious scrambled egg and bacon on toasted sour dough. Lovely cafe! Thanks!

Good strong coffee. Nice cake. Friendly service. True Dada,

It is not a place that you can have breakfast. Everything is ready meal even pancakes from Costco. We looked it up on Google best pancake cafe in Epping and Dada cafe came on top and disappointingly we have served ready made pancake from Costco.

Cezara made the best dirty chai latte I’ve ever had, even tho it is not on the menu. Highly recommend ordering one!

Very cozy cafe Nice and welcoming staff, good food (especially porridge), clean and cozy environment (even toilet looks new) Thank you ❤️

Food was lovely a big pot of tea and staff very attentive. It was a little noisy scrummy grannies cooing and billing but nothing we couldn't handle. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely food, I've been to a few breakfast places in Epping and this is honestly one of the best. All freshly made, which is awesome.

I only stopped for a pot of tea. Only one thing I'd like to comment is they don't stock lactose milk so I had wasted my pot of tea! The lady was very nice.

I am a customer of this café in South Woodford. I found out about the cafe during the lockdown through some friends and I have been a regular ever since. This is a busy cafe which serves the locals really well and it’s children friendly. Staff are great, dedicated and always smiling. I either pop in for a take away coffee or for breakfast or brunch daily. I’ll definitely recommend this place. Wale

Unique friendly atmosphere and lovely pastries

The menu reduced the portions smaller prices increased. Tasted nice

Nice, relaxed cafe. Good coffee.

Loved it, wonderful coffee and great tasting food. Had a lovely lunch there.

Just discovered this lovely little Cafe. Fantastic menu full of our favourite food. I had bacon, avocado & bacon on toasted sourdough. Lovely

My wife and I ordered two cappuccinos which were really nice and very cleverly decorated. Really tasty and we were given a glass of water each too. £6 for two which is not a bad price and the service was very good. Very friendly staff.

Lady who worked there or owned it was very nice. Toast was good. Not very keen in the decaf tea. It was very weak and not that good.

Such a cosy, cute, and feel good little breakfast/brunch spot in Chingford. Outdoor and indoor seating are available and it also looks like a dog friendly cafe. They offer a good selection of breakfast/brunch food that are reasonably priced. The food was fresh, and tasted home made. Pictured: large cappuccino with dried raspberries, open face avocado, egg and bacon on sourdough, and Turkish eggs. Definitely recommend checking them out if you’re around the area!

We popped in for a coffee. I had a cappuccino which was fine but topped with something red which I thought was 'ruby' chocolate. Unfortunately it was dried raspberry. I do like dried raspberry and I love coffee but they really do not go together!

Thank you girls for the amazing service and friendly attitude with which you have received me. It is definitely a come-back visit for my delicious Mocha and steaming Oatmeal Cappuccino. Best coffee I had!

Lovely coffee, good food, great service & Staff..!!

A beautiful little place with friendly staff and a cosy feeling. Love it!

Amazing coffee, friendly environment :)

A nice little cafe descent food and a proper pot of tea

We came all the way from Caledonian Road to have breakfast here and have a walk in the forest. It was an amazing weekend outing. I would say breakfast was better than expected. Turkish eggs is a must try.

Lovely atmosphere. The hot chocolate and cake were really good

Excellent small cafe, friendly staff and great food - I go whenever I’m nearby with work!

like it sooo much. i can reccomend this cafe to everyone who wants to eat delicious food. ı can reccomend

Excellent coffee. The best in Epping.

Great coffee and really friendly staff.

Really welcoming cafe offering a selection of delicious homemade cakes and lunch menu. The presentation is always of great quality. The staff are absolutely lovely.

The coffee is good, and the food quality is good, however the portion sizes are too small. Extremely thin sourdough (one of) with two eggs and avocado, another slice would have been alot better. Also not a huge range of veggie options

Nice cortardo and hot chocolate l, didn't eat there though.

Very nice takeaways after walking in the forest. I am enjoying this kind of small but high quality services

One of the best coffees in Epping, without question. Staff are all really friendly and the cakes are delicious!

Great food and coffee with excellent service

Fantastic food and excellent service. What more could you ask for!

Delicious food with excellent service.

Good food and drinks served in style!

Closest to decent coffee you'll get at High Beach. Plus they do hot food, even omletes if not too busy.

Very nice cafe, good atmosphere and lovely decorated drinks. The effort is reflected in the price, and is on the high side of London coffee shops.

The welcome was as expected, warm and very friendly. I ordered lemon and ginger tea that arrived quickly in a glass teapot. The ginger had been peeled and sliced. There were lots of lemon slices and she had added a sprig of mint into the mix. The result was absolutely delicious. Five stars sometimes are not enough.

A cute quiet code shop with good coffee and tasty cakes. Service is very friendly. Recommended stop if you are in the area

This is the best place in Epping if you fancy a coffee and a cake. I have been coming here since it opened and enjoy it just as much with every visit.

Good coffee, good service. Chairs could be more comfortable, cakes should be covered.

Great coffees and light menu foods. Well worth a visit.

This coffee shop although part of a small chain is top-notch. The staff are all super friendly, the atmosphere is warm and the feeling when seated, is of supreme coziness. On top of that, the coffee is terrific too.

Great place. Friendly service. Cappuccino comes recommended!

Good to see it’s been spruced up and takes card payments again. Food not so great unfortunately. Daily paper a nice touch!

Coffee is LOVELY. Service is excellent. Food great. A little gem of a place!

What a lovely start to the day warm cosy friendly staff calm .... everything is cooked fresh and the tea is all tealeaves which I love large variety of teas and the best coffee around 💖

The welcome was warm and friendly, our coffee was full flavoured and delivered in good time. The almond cake tasted great and the whole experience was very relaxed.

Wonderful little place and great service. Lovely coffee. Tea served in nice china, and a delicious almond cake. Hoping it will stay familiar and cozy as it is. Ah, and the music was good too!

Fabulous breckie of smashed avocado blue cheese pear and pecan. Husband had scramble with parma. Delic! Thank you 😋

Me and my mom went their in the afternoon & I had mangu with salami & the fried cheese & eggs. The mangu tasted like a smash green banana with no flavor I left it what a wasted of $8 on that meal! & My mom order white rice with red beans & chicken chunks when we get home to eat we take a bite and the rice needed salt the beans weren’t made well & the chicken was so hard! I will never eat dinner there again! They have great bagels & coffee but for dinner I rather go to another restaurant!

Lovely staff, lovely setting! Lovely food and drink! Perfect. Really couldn’t fault it. Will deffo be my regular now

LOVE Dada at South Woodford but the Epping branch needs some investment, it feels really shabby & unloved inside. Also the last few months it’s been cash only, very annoying. Give Epping a revamp!

I visited the branch in Chingford. (I can't find it on here). The staff were very friendly and it was very nice to receive a glass of water, without requesting it. The chai latte came well displayed and it was yummy. The chocolate cake was also delicious too. I recommend this place and would definitely come here again. Thank you very much to the staff at the Chingford branch for a lovely service!

Great coffee and food. Small but good atmosphere.

After a brisk walk in the forest and Butlers Retreat full to bursting stopped off on the way home for a coffee and green tea at the newly opened cafe, wow! Best tasting cappuccino ever bar none, it had little raspberry bits floating on top which aided to the smoothness and taste of this delightful coffee. My wife’s green tea was equally tasteful, no soppy tea bag, it was presented in a glass teapot with real green tea leafs majestically infusing with the hot water. Having drank a cuppa here I’m sorry however I won’t be going elsewhere for a coffee. A tad more expensive but worth every penny.

Lovely independent café with great food and excellent coffee

Fantastic coffee and food served by extremely friendly staff. Seating is very limited, but it is well worth waiting for a space.

I always pop in this tiny cafe as they have great food and a friendly welcome and are an independent.

Although it is supposed to be summer we were pleased to find Dada's warm plus the staff are always so friendly.

All round great experience, attentive staff,great food,good prices.

Cosy modern cafe. Great breakfast options. Just wish there was more space.

Love this place and the coffee here, could come here everyday. Breakfast brunch is stunning too with variety of hot options..

Lovely coffee and kind smiling staff, just held back a little by feeling slightly cramped and claustrophobic. Someone was eating what looked like a lovely breakfast, but I could not see a menu.

Had a really nice beet and goats cheese salad. Nice service. Nice chilled vibe. Reasonable priced. Would recommend

Very comfortable cafe with great food. Quite small inside but well worth the visit. Coffee great Food fresh and delicious. A piece of cake is a must with coffee. Very pleasant young ladies serving. Definitely recommend to everyone

Honestly my favourite place to have coffee, the trouble is nowhere else has Dada Cafe coffee !!! So this leads to much disappointment when having to drink at the more common brands of coffee shop 😞

The coffee is really good , the place itself is nice and clean and the staff is really friendly!

Had a lovely breakfast, avocado and really good scrambled eggs on sour toast. Good coffee. The cakes looked amazing. Service good.

Lovely, friendly owners and good service. The cafe is small but not overcrowded and we were comfortable. There are a few tables outside for when the weather is nice.

We use this cafe for our coffee fix. At the weekends it is usually full of lunch time diners so we have to do with the take-away service. Superb coffee with a little twist and all the food is home cooked and delicious.

Have visited Dada several times. The staff are friendly, helpful and pleasant and the place is clean with a nice atmosphere. The food is delicious and the coffee is great. What more could you want?

We had a lovely lunch here one Saturday and the people were nice .so we will be back soon!

Really good flat white,fresh beans. Nicely presented easy food. Small cosy cafe style. Friendly staff. Food from pancakes and bacon to porridge...to scrambled eggs on sourchdough with Parma ham to quinoa salad.

Easy peazy pop in for a coffee just off Epping high Street.coffee is their own brand and very tasty too. Staff are really on the money with their service if a little lacking in charisma

The welcome was warm and very friendly and the coffee was full of flavour. I would say amongst the very best. The chocolate cake was fresh and not overly sweet. The tables were clean and tidy.

Friendly atmosphere and great staff. Coffee and food excellent,always freshly prepared. Usually busy due popularity and value. Highly recommended by a frequent user

Dada is one of those truly unique, charismatic, little non-chain coffee houses that are so hard to find now a days.

Staff friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Tea for two and scones and cake. Tea piping hot. Nice premise easy for my walker. Toilets good an clean.

The best coffee around. Staff are very personable and efficient. My Grandchildren also consider it to be the best cafe ever. They make a great chocolate drink !!!

I go to dada almost every day to relax by myself most times , meeting friends at times or I just make new friends and at times just end up chatting with other regulars . It’s just beautiful and relaxing best little place in Epping and surrounding areas ! Coffees cake , the porridge and the zakitos saladas are amazing ! Just love it ..

It’s ok,... that’s it. Ok. Not great food, just another average food establishment that English people put up with.

Nice cafe... Would recommend if you are in the area..

Delicious homemade cakes. Quality coffee beans. Very cozy

We nipped in for a quick sandwich and a coffee, I'm a massive fan of these coffee shops, staff are lovely, food is great with a real home baked appearance, the coffee is lovely, I'm a fan of Costa Rican Coffee after visiting the country, but I believe the coffee I drank was Ethiopian, which was really tasty. Go here, stay away from the big chains, it's a much better service here! Thanks guys.

visited with a friend for lunch/brunch today, were great dealing with my allergies & intolerances! food was great and really reasonably priced.

We have enjoyed the coffee and cake many times at Dada's and the service we received today was as good as always. The atmosphere was warm, very relaxed and calm, the tables spotless, and today's sponge cake was excellent.

I don’t know of too many village coffee shops in London that serve loose leaf teas and exceptional coffee to the same standard as Dada.

Nice atmosphere and lovely food
