Garden Community Cafe in Newham

Bowl of magic was the most delicious thing ever 🥰 This cafeteria was nice and cozy. Latte was great too, and the staff was very kind making my breakfast gluten free. Thank you!

Walked 15 minutes from the Travelodge London Excel to this place for a great £6 breakfast. Nice to see the local priest in there, administering to homeless people. Spend your money here and help the local community. You will get a good welcome.

Si quieres el mejor desayuno, ven aquí, el ambiente es increíble, la comida es increíble y el personal es muy amable y atento.

Almorzamos aqui Es agradable y tranquilo tener una buena charla por la tarde. La comida también es buena. Se trata de 6 para Full English y vienen con una bebida caliente.

Apoyó a los estudiantes de NEE durante su experiencia laboral. La comida es de buena calidad y es tradicional frituras de la variedad de comida de caf, etc. Trataron a nuestros estudiantes con dignidad y respeto en todo momento y se tomaron el tiempo para que se sintieran cómodos.

We went for breakfast, expecting basic offerings and found so much more. The Garden Community Café was a down to Earth, homely, casual place with huge portions of tasty breakfast and family values all rolled into one. My breakfast sandwich was a feast of home made hash browns and egg, laced with bacon, sausage and all things tasty. My pal’s bakes Tattie (potato for locals) with cheese and mayo was also epic, with home-made mayo and TLC on the side. Great food, EPIC value and family values. Absolutely recommend, if only for the kids’ piano playing and superb marmalade (Tiger bread) toast.

Jevnt sig av gjester. Gratis og god wifi. God og rimelig mat i store porsjoner. Har spill, lesestoff og sofagruppe.

Spent 3 nights at the Premier Inn nearby to visit family and friends in London. Found the Garden Community Cafe on-line as a great value breakfast venue. We met a few of the friendly staff, all of whom seemed to be volunteers. It is clear that there is great work going on here supporting the local community. Food was excellent...we had the bacon roll and the Magic Granola bowl...kept us going until tea time! Nice to chat to you about Norfolk Simon!

May Day bank holiday. What a find on a very busy day. Great choice of inexpensive foods. Great mug of tea and the staff were very friendly. Beats the big commercial chains. We will return

A great find if you want to escape the rubbish at Excel. Food is good and the coffees are varied and tasty. Staff are helpful and friendly. There are community activities and you can play board games if you want to. It is a safe haven for all. It has some fun decorations. It is also informal. Lots of healthy options too. It is a nice place to bring some informal friends.

I've visited this cafe a few times over the past few years, it has always been a welcoming & vibrant place. New management has changed this cafe a little bit but it still remains one of the hidden gems of this area. Community activities & regular workshops make this place an important venue within the community, you may be lucky enough to pop in when a number of their many nteresting events is taking place there. The food is freshly prepared with lovely ingredients, reasonably priced - the money goes back into facilitating their projects. I sat on a cosy sofa & played Connect4 whilst drinking a cappuccino & enjoying a breakfast bun (& bowl of magic). Also, the opening hours means that it is not now full of school students from the nearby school. Sad, it is not open on weekends...

Great atmosphere and great staff, friendly and helpful. Great food and well worth the money. Had a full English breakfast, this is how you imagine a “real” breakfast.

So much better than the generic rubbish they serve at the Excel. Short walk from Prince Regent station and a great way to relax before getting back to the hustle and bustle of a large conference.

Needed breakfast before going the Excel, what a find. Excellent service from friendly staff. Food was great value for money, fresh and coked to order, nothing was too much trouble for Andy and Chris. Will be definitely going back. Thanks for a great breakfast.

A gem of a cafe. Had vegetable curry and carrot cake both delicious and the prices have to be the best in London.

We were going to the Excel but wanted breakfast in a real place with real people , I found the the Garden Community Cafe on trip advisor and was impressed by the community project ; we all had one of the best breakfasts ever, produced...

The Garden Cafe is an oasis of welcome, kindness and joy, in the heart of the East End. The staff and volunteers are incredibly friendly (the manager Hannah is an absolute gem). The menu is extensive and food delicious. The variety of outwards-looking community events...

I couldn't tell you about any other cafe in that area that really is a hub for the community. The cafe has run a number of summer schemes, art classes for locals, guitar lessons, Easter schemes and runs purely on donations and volunteers. I tried...

I really like The Garden Cafe, it's a lovely place to recharge after a long day or sit and have some healthy food. I have recommended it numerous times to friends if they're ever in the area. All the staff are really friendly and happy...

We were going to Brick Lane Music Hall and wanted to grab a sandwich before we arrived there. I looked on the internet and found the Garden Community Cafe. The website was very friendly and when I telephoned to enquire if we needed to book...

Was looking for a breakkie place near excel...and stumbled upon this gem on tripadvisor. It was a walk through a small park and some residential estate. Shop was simple and cosy... your typical corner shop except it is not very typical. We came to found...

Food is always great quality and value. Service is always with a friendly smile, with staff always happy to engage in a friendly chat.

Every year I go to the BETT show in Excel arena but today we discovered the Garden Community Cafe via their website the day before in Cardiff. After flying into London City Airport, We knew we'd be in the area early so needed to eat,...

Place is good and i love is coffee are soo good and food good too, We're love to come to visit a again next time.

Great little place, nicely kept & great service with friendly staff. Just wanted a half decent coffee (not easy in this area) & ended up with a breakfast roll - sausage/egg & bacon on a nice fresh tiger roll. Also offers lunches & cakes etc....

Currently in London visiting some friends and decided to stop off at the Garden for a drink and a catch up. Just as welcoming and warm as I remember from coming several years ago, lovely staff and very nice food, I'd recommend trying their fruit...

While having a few days break in Docklands London we found this community cafe very close to the Prince Regent DLR station. It was so good that we had breakfast there 2 mornings . Great cheap food and very friendly and relaxed. They are also...

A friend and I have been meeting up for lunch every few months and we always use to try different cafes around Newham til we were told about this place. Now it's the only cafe we meet as we like it so much! The staff...

The garden cafe is one of my favourite places in East London. A wonderful, warm and friendly atmosphere with very decently priced food!

I always love visiting the Garden Cafe. When I fancy a hearty fry up, freshly prepared healthy panini or a legendary 'bowl of magic' it never disappoints. Hannah, Sally and the team of volunteers are always extremely welcoming and they provide so much more than...

Not sure where the last couple of reviewers went - can't have been the Garden Cafe I go to! Hannah's amazing - always love the atmosphere, food and vibe at the Garden Cafe. It's a one of a kind place. Especially the open mic nights....

Food and drink is now very expensive! The cafe does not have the same warm and welcoming atmosphere as i remember. I felt that one member of staff was very welcoming, i believe her name was Sally. She feels like the life and soul of...

Food and drink is quite expensive. Manager was in the back and did not even see her. Surely a manger should be front of house to greet customers.

Cheap food, great atmosphere, friendly staff and homely. There are books to read if you wish, as well as free wifi.

Relaxed and friendly cafe. Try the amazing healthy and filling 'Magic' - Home made granola, yoghurt, fruit, nuts and seeds - for breakfast or lunch .

Nice,Lovely,Peaceful and comfortable Local Cafe with taste Latte and live guitar background! Thank You for nice time.

Humanitarian, sharing cafe with an embracing ambience and hand-written, philosophical writings on the walls seduce you to stay awhile and enjoy the good food in this cafe.

I had the good fortune to visit the cafe for a meeting with a colleague, and as I have made a commitment to try and eat healthy when I am out, I begrudgingly skipped on the fry up and elected to have a big bowl...

Amazing friendly place for breakfast. Try their magic bowls which are mega cheap and fantastic. Hidden away but worth seeking out!

At the end of a 5 mile Capital Ring walk we went to the Garden Community Cafe for a sit down and a drink. One of their signature dishes Magic Bowl was being made which looked interesting so two of us had that instead of...

Popped in here while staying near the ExCel London. Lovely little café with wonderfully friendly staff who really made us feel welcome. The food was inexpensive and excellent but there was definitely no scrimping on the portion sizes either. Wish I had a café as...

Spotted this little cafe across from the ExCeL London, and decided to give it a try for breakfast. A warm welcome, great food at a great price. If I was staying longer I would have been there everyday. A must if your in the area.

I could not recommend the Garden Cafe more. Love coming in for my bacon roll and cup of tea- really friendly helpful staff and great homely food. Don't know if I've ever felt more welcome in a cafe ever- staff know my name and always...

A great friendly welcome from the true east end. Food is freshly prepared and healthy. Fantastic atmosphere. You'll love it!

I come in here all the time. Food is fresh cheap and tasty. The fry ups are to die for and it's definitely worth popping in on a Friday for locally made Pie and Mash. The cafe it self is very pretty and colorful with...
