Harley’s Bistro & Lounge in Epping Forest

Absolutely lovely. Had philly cheese for brunch and absolutely delicious

A big enough salt beef sandwich with curly fries to share. Delicious.

This place really is five stars across the board in terms of food quality, portions, taste, service, hygiene, and overall vibe. I've been to every cafe in Epping and can say this is 100% the best one of them all. Affordable with a large menu, all food comes presented in such a beautiful way, there were flower petals and pomegranate seeds on my plate, they even made a simple coleslaw look like luxury with a slice of orange perfectly twisted on top. The waiters and waitresses are very attentive and polite. I would recommend this cafe to anyone that visits Epping.

Warning: If you eat The Hangover you won't be eating anything for the rest of the day! It's Huge! 🥓🍳

I visited here multiple times and its absolutely fantastic it is a very well managed place and the food never disappoints. The atmosphere is excellent, i would highly recomnend to anyone

Lovely Sunday morning breakfast. Very friendly and polite service, food arrived quickly looking beautiful and tasting delicious. Highly recommend!

Food was lovely the waitress was so helpful

I didn't fancy any of my staff food this afternoon for my lunch so had a chance to visit this place. I selected the peri peri chicken after making a hard choice out of numerous mouth watering options from the menu It turned to be presentable good portion with salad and rice with complimentary freshly squeezed orange juice. I couldn't stop myself finishing the whole batch of scrumptious pancakes. Will definitely visit again and highly recommended 👌

Very good food and friendly staff

The best breakfast/brunch in Epping. Great service and very quick. Go hungry because their portions are big!!

Always good food and service. Possibly the best place to eat in Epping.

Amazing little gem on epping high street. Breakfast is absolutely amazing and they have fresh delicious fruit bowls. They don't have a separate menu for gluten free but they offer amazing gluten options all you have to do is ask. Helpful, happy staff and service is on point. It's definitely my spot for breakfast, brunch.

Ordered the lamb wrap. Looked impressive on plate. The lamb was hard, tough and chewy. Did not taste fresh, more like left overs. The meat is cleverly arranged at the top of the wrap, so three-quarters of it is just packed out with lettuce. I ate fries and tiny side salad. When it came to paying I told the waiter about the lamb who said the dish was their standard size, no response to the taste and toughness. I asked if some money could be taken off, (I had eaten the fries and tiny side salad) I was told he could not as I had not told them before so they could offer me something else. Did not want anything else as by that time I was put off. So I had to pay the full amount.

Menu has a great selection. Food plentiful and always fresh. Have eaten here several times with friends and never been disappointed. Service friendly and efficient.

Lovely family breakfast service was good, food was served in good time tasted delicious. All 3 of us got different things all more than impressed. Coffee was lovely and parked right outside

I recently dined at Harley’s Lounge and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and service. The atmosphere was inviting, with cozy seating and a welcoming ambiance. The menu offered a variety of options, and the dishes we ordered exceeded expectations in both taste and presentation. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend Harley’s Lounge to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.

Nice food, well presented. Nice staff, trendy establishment.

Absolutely love it here, food is always fantastic, portion sizes are perfect. You certainly won't leave hungry.

Absolutely beautiful food - generous portions and such a fast service 😋 staff and manager are fantastic just love this place Will visit again when I'm in the uk for sure 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fantastic bustling place - been here for brunch a few times! The only reason it's not 5 star is because the music is so loud you can't hear yourself sometimes. Realistically more a 4.5 from me =) Portions very good. Also halal.

What an amazing place, Harley’s is, the deco is amazing, the staff are friendly. And the food excellent. I will recommend Harley’s to family & friends. We order two club sandwiches & a Tuna sandwich , teas & coffees.

This is a great place to visit the menu is very varied and everything I have tried so far has been very tasty. The presentation is great too and the staff are very friendly. I’d definitely recommend trying this place for breakfast, brunch or lunch 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A comfortable restaurant with quick ( non pushy) staff. Very clean, relaxing and amazing food. It really was the best tasting fresh food Can’t fault anything

I came here with my wife and five week old baby, we had a really really really good time eating here. The food was really really tasty best chicken I’ve eaten in a very long time. Prepared perfectly and the presentation was amazing. The atmosphere was really cool even though it was just the three of us on the table. The atmosphere in the entire restaurant was really buzzing. Everyone was really happy and the music was spot on. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and help accommodate baby, the staff are really happy and friendly the whole time and we’re really attentive. We will definitely be coming back here regularly.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Harleys and I must say, the experience was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. What truly set this dining experience apart was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction throughout the meal. Overall, I highly recommend Halreys for anyone looking for amazing food paired with great service.

I recently dined at Harleys with my family, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. What truly made the evening special was the outstanding service we received. The staff were attentive, accommodating, and made us feel right at home. It was a delightful dining experience that we won't soon forget. Highly recommend harleys for anyone seeking amazing food paired with great service for a family outing.

Visited here after taking the little ones to Silver Kidz Stay N Play. Really accommodating as we had 2 prams. Food was delicious and choice on menu is great. Something for everyone. Nice seating area outside which I'm sure is great once the warmer weather. Would recommend.

Words couldnt describe the phenomenonal experience and atmosphere offered by the beautiful people in Harleys! Not much to say about the food; I hope the photo speaks for itself 😍

Thank you Ali and the team for making our experience today so nice. The menu, food and service was fantastic and the atmosphere was brilliant. Would def reccomend this restaurant, very fairly priced for the quality of food that's served. Will def be coming back 🤝🏻

Visited here a few times with my twin baby grandchildren etc.Staff always very friendly attentive and accommodating despite us arriving with two prams . Varied menu . Food always tastes good and is nicely presented . The place is nicely decorated etc and clean .

Excellent location, good food and service

Best brunch in Epping and FAB coffee

Unreal the milkshakes are amazing and the food is banging but filling

Everything was presented with such style

Amaizing!!! Food is always cooked to perfection and service is brilliant .One of the best place to eat in Epping.

Food good , very noisy We ordered food and drinks for 4 of us. The mad thing is that they charge 70p extra for Almond Milk!!! Why ? When we spent £70 on breakfast? I know it sounds petty but I feel as if I’ve been conned , We will not be going back.

Great experience for breakfast with friends on Sunday morning. The food and service were great. We went without a reservation, there were a few tables on Sun morning around 9:30am I’ll visit again. There’s parking just a few minutes walking, £2 for the whole day on Sunday.

Visited this restaurant on Tuesday. Lovely bright colours with a funky theme which stands out among the rest of the cafes in Epping high street. Me and my partner were walk ins and got attended to straight away. The music was great and created a theme of excitement. The food prices are incredibly reasonable which is so shocking in this eara. The waiters were friendly and attentive. We were made to feel like nothing was an inconvenience. It would be nice if milkshakes and smoothies were blended in the kitchen as there was a constant blend from the bar you could here. Other then that this was a lovely meal that I will defiantly return to.

Family breakfast for a birthday, the food was great , the customer service was excellent . Obvious that it's a family affair because they take pride in their restaurant and service. Recommend massively .

Love this place and you get what you pay for, food is fantastic, staff so friendly always busy,

This spot is fantastic for all occasions. We went to Harleys for a family birthday brunch and we were not disappointed is the least I could say. The food was presentable and delicious. We had a variety of dishes including lasagne, taste of medi (turkish breakfast was devine), seafood alfredo and harleys in a pan. This was not my first time visiting Harleys and it most certainly won't be my last. The birthday girl was over the moon that she got to show off the beautiful decor on her instagram posts. Last but not least the service in this place is up to standard. Once again Vats (our waiter) was smily and welcoming from the beginning till the end of our experience.

OMG! This is one of the best caffès/bistro that we ever been ! It is fantastic! The food was delicious! Do not wonder where to go for your next breakfast/brunch -just go there !

Was greeted at the door, seated immediately. Service timing was pretty much perfect. High quality ingredients, great execution. Lovely venue.

A thoroughly enjoyable meal - veggie wrap packed with colour and nutrients. Service in the good old fashion sense of hospitality. Not near by but will stop again here when venturing through.

Our first visit here. Two waiters in attendance, one male, one female. Both unfriendly. Our order was taken. One hot meal served to me then four minutes later my wife's hot meal served to her. Bad that they did not come out together as mine was starting to get a bit cold by the time my wife's arrived. The food quality was very poor. Largely tasteless and soggy....except for the taste of grease on the curly fries. Most disappointing that neither the waiter who took our orders or the waitress who served our dishes didn't smile at us, greet us, say "Enjoy your meals" or say goodbye to us at the end. As we left a gentleman at the front door said "Goodbye". I asked him if he worked at Harleys and he said "Yes". I believe he was the Manager. I told him what had just happened in terms of the poor food quality and above all else the non-existent standard of service from his two staff members. His reply to me was "You are the first person who has ever complained". I doubt that is true but I replied to him "It's irrelevant if I'm the first or the hundredth person to complain, don't you train your staff to smile at customers and be polite to them?" His reply.....he just smiled at me and said nothing!! I then repeated to him "Why don't you train your staff properly?" Again, this was met with a sarcastic smile. Harleys clearly do not show the slightest care towards their customers. Folks, they just want your money and don't give a jot whether you enjoy your meal or the experience there. Undoubtedly, in my humble opinion THE worst eatery in the whole of Epping. Avoid at all costs!

Great food & atmosphere... I've been to Harley's a few times now and the food is great, with generous portion sizes - thank you. There's always a nice atmosphere and the restaurant is very clean. The staff are friendly but what lets it down a little is that the service can be slow. It's often hard to attract anyone's attention and drinks always seem to take a long time to arrive or get forgotten, even tap water that has been requested in addition to drinks from the menu. I appreciate that a lot of hard work goes on in restaurants and that is definitely the case at Harley's, maybe a jug of water for the table, would save us asking for a refill... If you're looking for a nice place to eat in Epping, I would recommend Harley's. Breakfast is especially tasty!

Fantastic place, great food, highly recommended. 👌🏻

First time today salmon was amazing and then to top off with the delicious pancakes made my mum so happy we gonna be back next week thank u all ment so much to me to have such. Great day with my mum.

We are glad to have found this lovely place in Epping. Really good place with variety of dishes, nice decor, good customer care. The coffee here is very tasty. We have been few times and will return.

We were passing through Epping and stopped for a quick brunch. What can I say about Harley’s Bistro? Great decor, great food, great service!

Really great food,good portions and reasonable prices . Service was excellent.

Popped in with the mrs earlier on today for some brunch and was quite delighted with everything to be honest. Lovely food, we had the “Taste of ‘Medi” which is a combo of Mediterranean goodies that you can’t wait to devour. Freshly squeezed orange juice which is to die for as well as some French toast smothered in Nutella and choco chips with fresh creme to top it off. All in all a very satisfied customer today and the service was top notch. Warm and cosy environment for families and couples. Will be returning again. Thanks!

An amazing breakfast experience...loved it!

Love eating here food always so good

GAVE ME ATTITUDE SO I CALLED HIM SPECCY AND I GOT THROWN OUT

Excellent bistro - great for breakfast, brunch, lunch. The staff are always really friendly and helpful, and the portions are large. It’s my favourite place to go in Epping.

Brilliant staff, fantastic food, thank you to all the staff 😊

After big fiasco at Mio’s , we continue looking for place to have brunch we pop in and the service and food was amazing can’t recommend enough everyone was smiling what a amazing experience definitely will comeback

walked in on the off chance , had to wait for a table , but 10/15 mins later we got one. food was amazing, staff were amazing , drinks were amazing . seen previous reviews, why people would choose wildwood over this defies all logic . it was top drawer

Excellent quality and taste. One of the best coffee places in Epping. The place is really nice inside, it's modern and very stylish. Good vibe. The food is amazing, the coffee is delicious and the staff are nice and kind, too. It has an extensive menu with lots of tasty choices. I highly recommend and definitely worth the visit!

Very good quality food! The coffee and food are beautifully presented and taste as good or even better than it looks. Definitely try the steak sandwich. I will be going back!

Love this place, very popular, great food, service and very clean. Sometimes you have to book but often you can walk in and grab a table. Great coffee and they know how to poach eggs which is a good test of a decent restaurant.

This place was new to us so thought we would pop in not knowing what to expect The place is really nice inside and we were met at the door and shown to our seats. It has a very extensive menu, lots of choice, however I wasn't massively hungry and fancied a cake which they didn't do... They did have desserts but not quite the same thing... My other half had beans on toast which came with a bowl of side salad, unusual combo. The coffee was delicious and we will be back

My go to place great food and very good helpful staff 👍🏻 Keep up the good work Steve & Emma

Friendly staff, very attentive whether it’s for a meal or just coffee.

Been a few times for a sit down lunch, food has always been good and big portions. End up taking a doggy bag home ! Good service apart from the servers seen vaping in the restaurant. Gets very busy for lunch both mid week and weekend, so can’t always get a table and gets very noisy.

Best vegan breakfast ever 10/10 Can’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu. Staff we also brilliant. Can’t fault this place!!!

Wonderful food and excellent customer service. Always a pleasure to visit!

Went to have lunch, very surly person wanted us to sit at a table we didn't like and said it was that or nothing, place was empty but said the might have a rush, it was 12.30. Never go back

Harleys is a fantastic place for Breakfast. We usually go early (pre 9am) and its never too busy. The food is always amazing with really friendly staff. 100% pur favourite place to go for Breakfast locally.

Beautiful food, great service and really good value.

One of the better ones in Epping. The roast chicken sandwich didn't have any flavour but the lamb wrap and curly fries certainly did. Big portions, lovely chilli sauce and fresh smoothies. It's got a cosy vibe and very good service. Would hands down return.

Can't knock it. Loved the brunch. Pancakes and the sausages were to die for. Chocolate milkshake was a bit bland but other than that would recommend

Banging little gaff good food recommendations

food was lovely although could improve. staff were nice and friendly and helped a lot. maybe return if wildwood don’t have an offer on

The best Eggs Benedict I have every had. Amazing taste and presentation

Food was only 'ok'. I think I was expecting more as what the food lacks in flavour they try and make up for in presentation. But my breakfast was really quite bland unfortunately.

Good food and excellent service.

Lunch and shared pudding. 1pm.... Had to wait 5 minutes so grab a table as the whole place was full.....and this was a Wednesday. We like it so much we would book a table in advance in future. Drinks, Water, 2 bottles of lager for me, large Rose for wife. Both had a mixed shish with rice and salad ..Excellent. Shared one pubbing . 4 pancakes and an array of fresh fruit All nicely placed and presented on the plates.

Delicious food, I need to go back very soon!

The waiters and waitresses were lovely and food why top tier. Not bad prices at all either!! The place is so aesthetically pleasing and such a cute little restaurant! X

Great for Sunday Brunch, or any day if you can! Booked ahead to make sure of a table.

Buzzy place, great service and the best posh ciabbatta I've ever had! Will definitely be returning!.

just had lovely tasty breakfast. Will be going back

What more can I say about this restaurant. The food is top quality The service is amazing The staff are so friendly The place is so clean and tidy The best restaurant in Epping bar none.

First time in Epping in a long time, but happened to find this place whilst looking for somewhere for lunch. Found was delicious (best brunch I’ve had in a long time) presentation and extras on plates were excellent, and really good value for money. Opted for the Land and Sea brunch, which was cooked to perfection. Menu is great and look forward to going back to try some other things. Service was lovely too. Highly recommend.

Excellent food, quick service, chicken skew nice and fresh. Will definitely be going back

Good food and good service, friendly staff

Another great lunch! Lovely staff, fantastic food, maybe a little bit more than I would normally spend but worth it! Enjoy. Really nice atmosphere too

Omg!!!!! I highly recommend this place! The food is soooo delicious and looks amazing ! Thank you 🙏🏻

Very good for a quick snack at lunchtime, very quick turnaround

The best in Epping. Always busy, always good food and service. We're lucky to have them in the town.

Had lunch here recently food was delicious really nice atmosphere and good service. Will definitely be going back. Very reasonably priced as well for the quality of the food.

Great place to sit and unwind, with gorgeous food. And great service.

Excellent menu at reasonable prices

My partner had the hangover breakfast, I had the smashed avocado with crispy bacon and poached eggs and my friend had the vegetarian breakfast. We were all very impressed. Loads of fresh food on our plates :) The place was very busy so I would...

Discovered this Gem a little while ago and have never been disappointed. Always clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and respectful. Great pitstop for breakfast, generous portions and always cooked and served with great presentation. Prices are on point too. I cant recommend Harleys highly enough.
