Pot of tea and toasted sour doe cheese Sandwich was very 👌 nice

Nice place, people and pantry to relax, collect thoughts and chat with locals; Helen is a legend xx

This place is an absolute Gem!! Helens food is unreal!! She is very accommodating with you needs / wants!! I honestly can't get enough of her delicious food!!!

very distracted staff, they are not patient at all with customers Я більше ніколи сюди не повернуся👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽💪🏽

Great place to eat or just have a coffee. Service is very friendly and helpful. Lovely family atmosphere.

Dette sted er super. Både mad og service er i top.

Lovely food always served with a smile!! I love the Go Greek Ciabatta as a taste of my culture in my local area!!! Highly recommend

Early morning coffee and breakfast; all good and exactly what I needed this morning.

Lovely local place to eat with a great vibe. Food is always fresh and tasty. What's not to love?

Helen's what a gem!! The staff are super friendly and happy to help. Good selection of food and Hot/Cold drinks available including fresh baked goods. If you do have time to pop in for some breakfast, give one of the Greek breakfasts a try. I had a Greek twist on the full English breakfast.

Cute little local coffee shop. Decent prices, cozy atmosphere!

Helen’s is our go to in North Chingford - food is great (the takeaway salads have been a life saver over the years) as is the coffee. Food is really fresh and great options. Helen is also really sweet and lovely. She remembers who you are and makes an effort to get to know you - makes you feel like a part of a community! Best cafe in North Chingford!

Love this cafè! Me and my husbands favourite place to have lunch. Food is always amazing, fresh and tasty. Coffee is the best coffee i've ever tasted. Service is outstanding. Helen and her team are so friendly and always make you feel welcome. Extra bonus dog friendly. Would highly recommend!!

I've always had a great experience here. Top notch.

Lovely local cafe that serves tasty breakfasts and Greek mezze.

Excellent service from owner and staff, very friendly and professional, quality food and great coffee selection at very good prices,clean and very relaxing place to pop into, recommended if you like to relax and good food.

Lovely staff, nice coffee and cozy atmosphere in this sweet cafe

Nice place for a coffee in Chingford.

Delicious food and great staff. So friendly and accommodating. This weekend we enjoyed a tasty Greek breakfast and take away hot cross buns. I inquired about afternoon tea and can’t wait to book in a treat!

Great food. Great coffee and excellent people.

A charming place! Friendly and helpful staff. I sat by the window and watched the world go by. It seems very popular with locals and was busy and thriving at lunch time (when l was there). A lovely place to pass the time with friends. Recommended.

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast bagel this morning Thanks Helen 😊

Had a wonderful Afternoon Tea, the cakes, sandwiches, scone absolutely delicious. We had a lovely time!

Great local cafe...like the different menu with fusion of Greek ingredients..very friendly service.

Friendly people food was good but no much options if you have a wheat an nut allergy but

Such a great coffee shop. Helen has made this into Chingfords go-to place. Friendly, welcoming and with a great menu!

Lovely breakfast at a reasonable price & friendly staff

Very nice sandwiches and service unfortunately we were the only people there

Lovely little cafe. Went there for lunch. Quick and very friendly service and nice food. Thanks.

I love Helen's cafe, it's my favourite cafe in Chingford. Helen always gives the most welcoming and friendliest service, she takes pride in her good food and good coffee! Would highly recommend if you're passing by. The Mega Go Greek Ciabatta is my favourite!

Very kind and friendly staff which helped us parse out the menu and checked in on us while we waited a few minutes for our order- lovely folks. The food was fine, definitely homemade and of ok quality (we had two sandwiches on sourdough and a croissant)- it just lacked cohesion and overall flavour, I wasn’t inspired to write home about it. The baked goods are not made in house but were also fine. The coffee started out pretty good but quickly became bitter as we walked- not sure what that was about. Oh, and we came for the advertised cake but there was no cake… Overall a nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Nice independent coffee shop, good cake too

Greek food was nice. Cooked breakfasts definitely not cooked fresh. Bacon and sausage where walmed up. Coffee nice. Worst tea bag ever tasted. Friendly service

Friendly staff, delicious food and good menu options

Best coffee and food! You won’t get the type of food Helen serves anywhere else ❤️

Perfect breakfast and cappuccino.

Nice staff, nice food and they cater well for the people with allergies.

Always a warm welcome. Outside space is noisy but inevitable

We stopped at Helen’s for a hot drinks and cakes 🍰 it was lovely 😊

Great food, great atmosphere, great people, great value for money. Love it!

A clean , bright & welcoming independent cafe. The food focus is all about quality and flavour , I’ve eaten here several times and have enjoyed everything I’ve ordered , the “Full Gringlish “ breakfast is particularly flavorsome and plenty of it too, the coffee is equally outstanding. As for the service ; 5 stars from me , warm welcome , attentive , quick and efficient . Great value for money

Chosen this cafe because of the very inviting front. The food and experience turned out to be even more pleasant. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I just didn’t want to leave ☺️

Always friendly and lovely food.

Best coffee and food at chingford.

Extremely poor quality food and coffee I had a double espresso which was watery and had no flavour or strength I bought a ciabatta sandwich with Lounza, lounika and halloumi The lounza tasted like gammon and the loukanika was extremely salty and undercooked. I paid almost £ 10 ie £ 9.70 for the worst sandwich and coffee I've eaten. Extremely poor quality food and heavily overpriced

Very friendly. I had a nice all day breakfast and americano coffee.

Helen's possibly the best local cafe in the Chingford area.

Excellent Service, nice Staff, Lovely Food, Good Atmosphere 👍

First time at "Helen's Coffee on the Green". Great cappuccino & good service with a Smile..!!

Took my mother there friendly staff and my mother said cosy

A Christmas shopping evening, which was thoroughly enjoyable, with the usual warm welcome. Arts and crafts on display, local entrepeneurs given the chance to display their talents. A really big thank you to Helens on the Green.

Had afternoon tea with my wife and it was lovely, service was great, food was great, highly recommended.

Lovely food, so welcoming. Cosy.

Decent local cafe with ok coffee and uncomplicated food and drink.

tasty food and even better coffee!

Great service and very tasty food. I'll be coming back again.

Great service with a smile and freshly prepared meals - I can spend enough time here, lucky to have a really authentic café on our doorstep. I Can't get enough of the Greek Dolmades and would highly recommend them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this little gem in Chingford! Well worth a visit! Brilliant food, great service & lovely lovely people

Everything and everyone are excellent

Very nice local cafe shop, we bought some hot chocolate and sweet treats, they look amazing, can't wait to eat them!

Really good food - something a little different to your usual cafe - and very helpful staff.

Food and service is always great!

Great coffee, great food. Perfect.

We had delicious flatbreads in this lovely, friendly cafe. Good for vegetarians to eat here, but not much choice for vegans.

Good cosy Café with safe covid protocols.

Nice cosy Café with a conscientious covid policy.

Great food,lovely service, adhere to the rules.

Excellent food and service Great social distancing procedures

Best cafe in town by a long shot, staff are friendly, food is incredible, such good value for money. I moved to Portsmouth, but every time I come and visit, always make a trip. Can't fault it, and the hot cineman cake is top draw

Afternoon Tea Platter and a Savoury Platter with two bottles of wine for my Socially Distanced Picnic with my buddies.

Delicious Greek breakfast. Friendly service. A new favourite.

Always a great place to eat with everything from english breakfast to greek flatbreads. Fantastic!

I love going to this cafe, is near to my place and I feel very cozy. The only thing is going there during the week around 3ish... the cafe can be full - mommies waiting for their kiddos, and later is full of children, not a good moment to feel relaxed and quiet. Paninis are great and the owner is really friendly.

Lovely cafe with good food and coffee. Cakes are really great too. Have been a few times and tried a couple of different things and all have been very good.

Friendly atmosphere, lovely food and comfortable surroundings. The cinnamon cake is the best I've tasted!

Excellent food and service. Everyone very friendly

Always fabulous coffee and delicious fresh food. Helen's is my go to happy place.

Friendly, cosy, great coffee and food. Lovely independent eatery.

Loved the food and great setvice

Just lovely! Want there today for lunch with my boyfriend. I had the tuna melt with tea and a slice of the chocolate marble cake, the food was delicious (and cheap too!) the place is nice and the staff is friendly. This is the kind of place where you have to go several times to try everything on the menu. i should have been taking pictures but i was too busy eating :). Highly recommend especially if you're local like me.

Amazing food great service and really friendly staff and owner love coming here

At Helen’s coffee, you’ll find many more things apart from tea and coffee. Such as a variety of flatbreads, pizzas, smoothies, milkshakes, toast, cakes and soft drinks. Helen’s got a little play area for kids as well. I came across some beautiful handmade greeting cards and tot bags for sale, there is a little notice board where other little businesses display their promotions and services too. I really enjoyed having my smoothie and cake overlooking the Green this sunny summer morning.

Lovely friendly and amazing food all my children love it. Have recommended to family and friends. Never disappointed xxx

It’s a good place out for a nice breakfast and it’s close to me which is perfect for me

Enjoyed the coffee and the breakfast. Thank you

Great coffee, friendly atmosphere

A lovely coffee shop/ cafe in an area with too much choice! Excellent coffee and food with a friendly vibe. Recommended.

Lovely cafe with a really friendly and helpful staff. The meze was nice and useful alternative for a gluten free vegetarian. Shame they had run out of gf bread. Quite small portions.

Lovely place, great service and food 10 stars
