Hornbeam in Waltham Forest

Love this authentic and artisan style place. Clean environment, lovely style ,fast service and friendly people.

Fabulous place. Great food, chilled atmosphere. Nice vegan beer too! I wish they were open a bit later, that would be my only criticism.

Este lugar es un centro comunitario impresionante que funciona como un café. Con las ventanas emergentes habituales (normalmente, ¡si no siempre veganas!) Y el hogar habitual de una comida "paga lo que sientes", este lugar realmente es una joya. La última residencia 'Spice Box' ha sido brillante!

Spicebox test kitchen has taken weekend residency at the Hornbeam cafe for a season. A delightful combination of flavours. Every dish and condiment has been well thought through and a great taste experience. The cashew and coconut korma dish had depth with hints of cloves and bursts of mustard seeds, flavoursome with fresh veggies, more spices and coconut. Sides included dhal and saag aloo, the latter potato wedges panfried with an array of spices and fresh spinach. Condiments of mango chutney, lime pickle and raita, silken tofu blended with mint. Only one white and one red house wine. Our choice was the Leefield Station Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand, could not have asked for a better accompaniment. Meal ended with oat milk masala chai, 24 hours infused with 8 spices. The mango sorbet was sweet and tangy. If this is anything to go by, we will be regulars where ever they are. @eatspicebox @saltandstonelifestyle

Bien descubierto esta pequeña maravilla. Este lugar no parece mucho desde el exterior Quiero decir que lo he pasado por años sin saber si entrar. Ahora soy un habitual. Me encanta que el menú cambie todo el tiempo; Puedo probar una variedad de alimentos cada vez que voy y si el menú es realmente bueno, vuelvo dos veces. . . . . no me juzgues Así que el desayuno es genial, me encanta su tofu revuelto, ya que parezco capaz de llevar el mío a este nivel de perfección por el momento. El asado del domingo (que ahora no está en el menú hasta septiembre) es brillante; esperando ansiosamente su regreso! Jack tirado - tostadas de fruta a mac y queso o tal vez un plato caliente de lentejas al curry y arroz - la variedad y las combinaciones son infinitas y cambian para siempre, pero le garantizamos que encontrará algo para probar. La mezcla de café que usan es suave como la seda y naturalmente dulce: una buena variedad de leches sin lácteos o quizás en este clima cálido, un café con leche moca puede llamarte? Para rematar el día tal vez un pastel o un pastelito para calmar a su goloso? Compré un delicioso cupcake este fin de semana y estuvo delicioso. Por último, pero no menos importante, el personal; Son amistosos sonrientes y complacientes! Honestamente, es una gran cafetería pequeña, fría y un gran espacio. Me conecto al WiFi y trabajo mientras como (es mi nueva oficina)

I love this place. It's one of the oldest places in Walthamstow offering vegan and vegetarian food. Try the Vegan English breakfast and scrambled tofu toast. They are my favourite here. Check out their vegan treats, muffins and Cake. You will not be disappointed. All created with locally sourced products.

We had the sensational vegan Sunday roast and took the pulled BBQ Jackfruit toastie for our dinner - delicious! Lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. Thank you - I hope to return again soon.

The Hornbeam is a small cafe on a busy main road that could be easily missed, but compared to the standard offers of other cafes in the area it is very good so it is worth not missing it. The food is vegan (not my favorite in general), but the quality is pretty good, the coffee is decent, they have nice teas and cakes are surprisingly nice. Informal, relaxed, friendly service, small space with only a few tables, very reasonable prices, perfect for lunch or a coffee break.

Local cafe with smiling, friendly staff and wholesome tasty vegan food. The miss-matched tables and chairs add to the charm. And you can write a witty aphorism on the toilet door... chalks provided. And home-made slabs of cake. What more could you ask for?

Great tasting vegan fayre. Almond cappuccino looked great. Filling meals available. Salad and quiche was delicious, the salad included little flowers and not an iceberg lettuce leaf in sight-yay!

My partner & I visited Hornbeam while we were visiting Walthamstow fabric shopping. We love this cafe from the minute we stepped in we had a great welcome & the food was plentiful & great choice. We had the vegan breakfast with scrambled tofu. Delicious!! Just 5 minute walk from the train. Go there. You won't be disapointed

I loved the cosy, relaxed, friendly feel of the cafe, and the staff were so chatty. The food was absolutely delicious - a lovely little spot for a weekend brunch

On the hunt for breakfast and stumbled across this place. The weekend breakfast menu looks amazing but, it being a Friday, we made do with toast and jams. They must have fun making jams here, all five were interesting but the taste of the cinnamon marmalade will be with me all day. Brilliant.

I came here on a Saturday with my family as I had heard a lot about it. The cafe is quite small but it is so welcoming, cosy and warm. It was busy when we entered but we didn't have to wait for long until a table was free. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. There is a nice family type vibe at this cafe as regular customers were coming in. We ordered two soups and a brunch dish which included tofu scramble, sausages and a chickpea fritter. It was absolutely delicious. The price was also very reasonable :) Everything here is vegan and they have a good variety of cake, raw food and hot food. I would definitely come here again!

This cozy, magical café features vegan and vegetarian fare that is organic, local, and fairly traded. I was here for Sunday brunch and had the delicious and filling Hornbeam brunch special. Coffee is also great. The ambiance is warm and relaxed and the service is top-notch. It just seems like a very familiar place even if you walk in for the first time. Great place for coffee and meal in Walthamstow.

Love this little cafe/community centre - it's like a beacon of hope for organic humanity in an overcrowded soulless corporate market. Sourcing pretty much everything locally, and vegetarian/vegan, makes for a very tasty and filling hot brunch. The coffee and cakes are great too. On...

A very warm and nice place to eat healty and tasteful food in a relaxing environment. The staff is very friendly and they have lots of activities going on - like small marketplace for local flowers and local food.

Plenty of choice, good produce and great value portion sizes. Thoroughly recommend. Had a breakfast option, which was cooked very well, with great flavours and a good coffee too. If you're looking for somewhere to take veggie or vegan friends, this is a sure fire...

The atmosphere was very homely, cosy and welcoming. The food we ordered was very tasty and generous. My kids loved the chocolate brownies for afters. The tea/coffee mugs were humongous. Lovely place, please check out their website for full menu. Great food that is very...

This is a personal favourite place of mine to eat! Great vegan food, soups, salads and always a delicious tart! Home made pickles a plenty. Climpson and sons coffee. The staff are wonderful and always happy to see you!

Unfortunately when I visited here I had already eaten lunch so missed out on trying what looked like a delicious menu. However, I did have space to try the scrumptious carrot and walnut cake with a lovely cup of tea. Amazing! The waitress was very...

The lady serving was very friendly and the food was great, if not a little pricey, but then it's made to a high quality and using good quality ingredients so you are getting what you pay for. Place can get very busy at times, and...

I don't often write reviews but felt i had to tell the world about this awesome little place! Our friend (who's pretty pregnant) has just moved to Walthamstow and we were looking for somewhere close by to host a baby shower! We found the hornbeam...

I have been 4 times recently and all times the staff were super friendly, the food was delicious, healthy, and local, and the service was good. The cafe is bright and welcoming, a pleasant place to meet friends for lunch or catch up on emails...

we love coming here. great healthy and veggie food. nice atmosphere and good to know that the food is organic and responsible sourced.

I've been to Hornbeam twice recently and both times the staff were friendly, the food was delicious, healthy, and local, and the service was good. The cafe is bright and welcoming, a pleasant place to meet friends for lunch or catch up on emails over...

The Hornbeam's laid-back Fork to Fork monthly supper was served later than they would have liked because some couples had made reservations but not turned up. They should consider asking for deposits I reckon. The cold soup could have been more chilled but was excellent...

I've been meaning to go to this cafe for years and finally did. It is a gem of a place. The dishes are home cooked and very tastey and you won't get salad fresher or more sustainably produced than this - most of it is...

Flat hunting for my daughter in the area, we stumbled across the Hornbeam cafe, £3.75 for roasted cauliflower soup with home made bread, and £4.50 for pumpkin tart and salad. Really generous helpings, I thought it was excellent value and superb food. The service was...

My partner is Vegan and I'm veggie as is my two year old. We go to vegan friendly places a lot but hadn't been to Walthamstow before, so when we popped over for an appointment, my partner decided to treat us to a late afternoon...

Very quirky little place. i loved the food and changed my opinion about beetroot. I had a very interesting cocktail with beetrrot and apple with gin... probably not my favourite but was cool to try. the soup was awesome and had just the right spiciness...

Although the menu was small, the food was delicious! It's so exciting to find a vegan restaurant and this little cafe didn't let me down - can't wait to return!

I have never written a review on trip advisor before but must correct the glowing review given by the previous reviewer. Visited the Hornbeam cafe and had the vegetarian lasagne. Absolutely dreadful, in fact almost inedible. It was dried up, presumably heated to its lukewarm...

Hidden away and easily overlooked in a drab and ugly part of London’s E17 area, the Hornbeam Cafe is an oasis of tasty home-cooked vegetarian and vegan food. It is part of the Hornbeam Environment and Community Centre which offers recycling/re-use facilities as well as...
