Deeney's in Waltham Forest

I remember Deeney’s when it was just a food stall catering for events when I booked them for a clients wedding for late night grazing! Have been a fan ever since! For them to have an actual cafe in Leyton (right on my doorstep) is amazing! It’s a great cafe, reasonably priced and the food is really good! But the FOH staff there really let’s this place down. The last couple of times we’ve been here on the weekend, the staff come across like you’ve inconvenienced them for walking in! Working in hospitality (like myself) means being hospitable. Politeness and a smile in our industry goes a long way!

Very disappointed. Service pleasant but extremely slow. Food poor - poached eggs overdone, no butter. Tattie scone would’ve made a good shoe sole. Coffee was nice enough.

I’ve only ever had takeaway but their toasted sandwiches are fantastic. So good. Really tasty and filling. The 3 cheese blend is so cheesy and tasty. And the cocktails are great. The Bloody Mary was the best I’ve ever had. Really recommend for breakfast and lunch.

Small but full of life, character and great food. Was pleasantly surprised they have the service and care down to pat. This is a lovely wee place. Ai

The vegan full English is my goto sometimes even with a Bloody Mary side order after a night shift ! The bowls they use are great too as they help to retain the heat of the food . Just lush !

One can only think of Haggis when they think of Scots and Burn's Night but if you are craving for some Haggis, you can get your fix at Leyton where they specialize in Haggis cheese toasties and Haggis breakfasts. As well as Haggis, they have it all like the Square sausage (Lorne sausage), potato scones as well as veggie haggis and Scottish Breakfast tea. It was a really difficult choice but I thought I would save breakfast for the next visit and have the haggis cheese toastie and some extra sides. Ended up choosing Macbeth over Hamish Macbeth because I wanted to appreciate the haggis but you can take it to the next level with an extra fried egg with the Hamish Macbeth which has bacon. Also, on the side, I ordered a square sausage, veggie haggis and tattie potato scones with Scottish tea. The haggis cheese toastie was seriously good as expected because the pairing of cheese and haggis is a match made in heaven, the mustard in it was a smart way of making it not so heavy but I didn't like the caramelized onions because I found them a bit sweet for my palate. To finish off, I had Scottish breakfast tea which is somewhat stronger than English Breakfast tea so it was a great way to wash down the toastie. Overall, a great place to have brunch with more seating downstairs and female toilets were thoughtfully equipped for the ladies. Pictures on blog.

Amazing, delicious full breakfast. Great coffee and lovely ambience including charming staff. Really enjoyed my visit here so thoroughly recommend.

This is a lovely Scottish cafe in Leyton. Decor is clean and modern. The space is quite small but there is downstairs seating as well. I always have a vegetarian haggis toastie here (they have a vegan and carnivorous version as well) because it's very tasty but they also have various breakfasts and a small but nice selection of cakes. Great choice for brunch.

Little piece of Scotland in north London! It was very busy on a Sunday afternoon. I opted for the hamish macbeth toastie - haggis, mustard, bacon, cheese. Being Scottish of course I love haggis. The toastie was delicious though, great quality. They do loads of non haggis this so don’t worry if you’re not a fan. Have a feeling all their food would be very good. Price was about what you’d expect to pay for this and the quality. Recommend for something different, great lunch spot.

Absolutely love the Hamish Macbeth toastie. We get it every single time! You do not often find decent square sausage in London either, but Deeny's serves it in a roll.

Scottish breakfasts and a large choice of toasters, pastries, hot drinks and booze if you fancy it. Was really impressed with the food and service.

Very tasty toastie shop. Plenty of options on the menu, but went for the recommended and popular ‘The Macbeth’. Would like to try others aswell.

Came for a last minute hungover brunch on a Sunday - managed to walk in and grab a table easily (but it’s small so not sure if they’d be able to accommodate a proper group). The full fry was delicious - and there’s loads of it. The haggis is wonderful and everything is really good value. Super friendly staff too. Enjoy!

We have got takeaway from here several times during lockdown. Now our favourite takeaway place. Great for vegan options.

EXCELLENT Lady Macbeth. Incredibly savoury mix of veg haggis, cheese, caramelised onions and maybe horseradish. Devoured it so no picture! And at £6.50 for takeaway not badly priced at all!

I’m a regular at Deeneys Cafe and have tried pretty much all their toasties. Just thinking about it makes me salivate, it’s that delicious. My boyfriend ordered your full fry earlier today and almost orgasmed when trying the sausage (not trying to be saucy, just real honesty here). Packaging is great, delivery time always on point, it’s one of my fave spots for a quick and delicious lunch.

We stumbled across this place whilst on one of our September Steps Challenge walks and ravenous. It's a cute modern cafe with a Scottish slant. They do all sorts of fry-ups, burgers and toasted sandwiches, some with haggis. Had an excellent matcha latte and a 'Lady Macbeth' - a toastie with vegetarian haggis, mustard, caramelized onions & cheese. Soooo delicious. Husband liked his as well. I'd give this place 5* if it wasn't for the somewhat morose service (except for the girl with the red hair, who was lovely) and having to wait for ages before someone acknowledged and seated us. That aside, I would definitely come back.

What a great little find. Only popped in for a coffee but would come back if I lived nearby. Nice little menu, loads of craft beers, really friendly staff. Nice vibe.

I will start by saying the food here is very very good. I’ve been here a couple of times for takeaway toasties or coffee. The cheesy leeks toastie being a personal favourite. I visited here last month to eat in for the first time and...

I am salivating just remembering the Hamish Macbeth Toastie I had at Deeneys. It was simply the best toastie I have ever had. I wanted another immediately. They are the crack of toasties. Inappropriate maybe, but true for me.

If you're out in Leyton and you fancy a delicious filling breakfast then this is the place to visit! The veggie breakfast and the toasties are super yummy! Definitely recommend!

If you've not tried the food at Deeney's yet it's a must if you are in the area. I had the full fry which was fantastic and the tea was the best brew I've had. The staff are great and service is always accompanied by...

Just polished off a takeaway Macbeth toastie. Delicious! Will definitely return when passing through Leyton

Nice sandwich screaming kids and 3 Mums breast feeding and people on their lap tops and on their phones, running their businesses in there using their internet. Plus an annoying fly buzzing around us. Four staff chatting and on their devices. Not great service. And..pee...

Tasty funky menu and Nice team working there. Seating downstairs. Left with that happy fuzzy feeling!

Popped in just before the football and the staff made a special effort to turn my order round in double quick time. Had the recommended Macbeth toasted sandwich and I wasn't disappointed.

Nice change to our local high Street. It's good to see have good coffee and alternative social spots in our area. Also they welcome pets.

servers are so friendly and helpful coffee is always served to perfection food is wonderful plenty of seating great aesthetic wifi and plugs everywhere Don't have a bad comment to say about the place. One of my favourite Coffee Houses in London

Great pastries, rich and delicious coffee served by great staff! - love the minimalist layout and style of this place.

Coffee and haggis toasties are superb, fairly priced and the staff are super friendly. Get yourself down there!

If you like Toasties and Coffee then I highly recommend Deeney's. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. I highly recommend the Haggis Toastie.

Leyton has changed in the 60 years since I used to see the Orient play every Saturday I just wish Denny's had existed then. Lunch there would have made standing for 90 minutes, often in the rain, worth it. I have eaten sandwiches in many...

Deeney's has done a great job with a fairly limited space. Only a tiny food preparation area behind the desk but the staff do a great job of staying on top of all the orders, even when the place is packed. A lovely range of...

We came to the broadway market pop up store for The Hagie Toast. The foods were absolutely beautiful. The service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Having visited a few times I've never been disappointed. Really great food and coffee, friendly service and always bustling. The breakfast is so good and it's a perfect spot to stop off while wandering Leyton.

I’ve been to Deeney’s many times over the last 2 years. Normally it’s a good place for coffee but I think it has gone down hill significantly in the last 4 months. They used to make a mean bowl of porridge with coarse/chunky Scottish porridge...

Accidently stumbled into this cafe, never had haggis before and thought I’d give it try. I loved it, the structure was a new experience for me and it tasted great! Would recommend anybody to try out haggis at this place.

One of the pop up stalls in Regent Place outside my work NW1 3DP. Reasonable choice of toasties. I ordered the Hamish Macbeth. Loved the haggis. Bit too much mustard (I'm not a huge fan and will ask for it without next time). Overall tasty....

Coming from a stallholder to a permanentt is a risk, but albeit with about 25 covers in a compact high street place overlooking the olympic stadium, theire maybe leverage especially with the pram crowd Whilst the menu offer a more alternative find aspect its is...

My friend and I stayed at the Lion & Key Hotel just down the road, and Deeney's was recommended for breakfast, and we were happy to accept that recommendation. We had a nice welcome on arrival and the seating and tables were clean, with the...

Friendly, welcoming staff make this such a lovely little cafe to visit. Delicious toasties and other treats satisfy the hungry customers- and it's always busy so you know it's fresh! Large shared tables with quirky knitted plants in pots! Thanks for the fabulous lunch!

In the words of the English, this place is a good shout! Deeney's is a small and cosy little cafe that is big in character. Deeney's has been my (almost daily) local coffee spot for the past few months while living in London. Australians looking...

We wanted to find a cafe that didn't just do a full English and had a little bit healthier food. This hit the spot. The menu is basic but I had their toasty with haggis and it was really delicious. They also have various avo...

A tiny, tiny cafe, with shared tables. Lovely friendly staff, trying to keep all the balls juggling and just about managing it. The coffee was a bit new fangled and modernly acidic for me, but the cake really hit the spot.

Went here today and wasnt disappointed! Food was fresh and lovely. Great atmosphere and staff were excellent. Will definitely return. Amazing find

With all the local traditional cafes closed on a Sunday, I decided (guided by T A) to try Deeneys and was pleasantly surprised! Whilst this establishment is a tad slow with service, what is produced is well worth waiting for. Using sour bread as a...

Very good cafe .. Cant start my day without their perfect flat white 💕.. the staff are very friendly , the place very clear comfy as well

Baby friendly, great food , good cup of tea, cake or coffee . Welcoming staff , smiley and helpful ...

My partner & I recently moved to Leyton and we love Deeney's. Super friendly staff, excellent coffee (All Press), delicious breakfasts (the best porridge in London and very good avocado on sourdough toast with a variety of different toppings) and brilliant toasties (try the Haggis...

One of the best cafes in London, hands down. Mega friendly personnel. Cakes and breads are delicious, but toasties are just on another level. Super recommended

Really friendly staff, helpful and attentive. Small cozy atmosphere. Great meeting place, fab food great place to meet for a cuppa .

Ordered a latte to drink in which took 15 minutes to arrive. In the meantime several people came in after me and got their takeaway coffees before me. When I went up to the counter the staff were quite dismissive and just pointed to a...

Got here just before our flight to Iceland and was in abit of a hurry. The coffee was at the perfect temperature and the avocado sandwich was just bursting with flavor! Reasonably priced too!

Delicious haggis toasties for Sunday breakfast, with a perfect flat white. Fantastic cafe, great atmosphere, scrummy food and excellent service. Lucky Leyton!

Deeley's is a wonderful asset to the High Road; I popped in during a break from work to get a decent cup of coffee. Fantastic coffee, a brilliant flat white. A great range of cakes: strongly recommend the salted caramel brownie! Slightly brisk and disinterested...

Deeney's is an absolute gem of a place -- a lovely little cafe with good quality coffee, smiling, friendly staff and most importantly, delicious haggis toasties. Well worth a visit if you're in Leyton!

Best coffee you can get in Leyton. Friendly baristas, tasty toasts. It is quite busy in the weekends. Expect to see a lot of creative people working and chatting there, as well as parents with toddlers in the weekends. Definitely recommend!

Visited this wonderful little cafe with my sister who had just moved into the area. We both had the haggis toastie and were blown away by the flavours - despite looking quite small it was actually really filling and superb value!!

They were so nice and breakfast was so yummy! The hot chocolate and coffee were so good. I had an avocado toast that was delish!

Love the cosy atmosphere of this little coffee shop - reminds me of back home in Perth. Located on the Leyton High Rd, this place makes top-class toasted sandwiches and excellent coffees. Highly recommend.

Love the ambience of this little place - it's very cosy. Delicious toasted sandwiches and smashed avocado. Service with a smile too! Don't Forget to try one of their tasty cronuts!

Visited Deeneys with my girl...Both really pleased with the service and quality of food and coffees. ..really happy to have just moved not far from such a cozy cafe'

I just love the food here... I'm a sucker for the Macbeth toastie and have a weakness for their sourdough loaves (maybe the best bread I've ever tasted?) The cafe is lovely too, chilled out, warm, friendly, with great food. What more could you want?...

A friend tipped me off about Deeney's. She said I would love the sandwiches. So I popped in, after a long walk. I chose the MacBeth, which is haggis, cheese, caramelised onions, rocket and mustard on sourdough bread. At £5, this is easily one of...
