Lo Bella in Epping Forest

We did the afternoon tea with Cinderella. The service, food, atmosphere and certainly Cinderella, could not be faulted. The children's afternoon tea is the best we've ever been too. They really understood what the children would and could manage. The adult afternoon tea was huge! Thankfully they gave us goodie bags to take home. We don't live local, but the trip is certainly worth it! Look forward to visiting again.

Booked Lo Bella for a 50th birthday - staff were excellent, helpful, friendly, place was immaculate. Highly recommend

First visit. Very disappointed that the staff couldn't raise a smile. No one else there so being pleasant should be priority.

What a little gem. Love the decor. Especially the flamingo wallpaper a-la Linda Carter (Eastenders!) The sandwiches, cakes and tea were very good. The Bombay Duck cups and saucers I wanted to take home! Grandchildren enjoyed the jam sarnies, scones and unicorn milkshakes. Thoroughly enjoyable visit.

I visited here today with some friends and unfortunately had such a horrible experience. When we got there the staff just looked at us in disgrace and everytime we said, are we ok to come in? one lady would say yes and another girl in the background would mutter, no, we don't have space, don't come in! We are all up for supporting small businesses so we decided to still give it a chance. The tea cups had bubbles in it twice clearly from washing up liquid and both times the staff were not happy about changing the cup. The lady was adamant that the cups were clean. Not impressed! All cakes tasted nice but very stale! I would definitely not recommend this place and I'm so glad I didn't book afternoon tea. This place needs to work on welcoming their staff, stuck up ladies!! Good luck

Lovely little cafe with really friendly staff. Amazing cakes and good selection of hot drinks. I will be coming back soon.

The service at Lobella is amazing, friendly staff, perfect for children and families The lucky charm latte is lush! Best toastie I’ve ever had, love the flower wall Highly recommend I will be back for red velvet cake

We were visiting friends in Essex when we stumbled across Lo Bella, a cute and elegant tea room based in Loughton. Upon entering, we immediately received a very warm welcome, were shown to a lovely table and we were looked after really well by Jane. The food was delicious and the Lobella unicorn milkshake was to die for! We will definitely come back when in Essex again. Enjoyed the food, the service and the lovely warm atmosphere.

I had my small birthday/charity function here today. It is a pretty little venue with friendly attentive staff. The food was lovely and fresh. Anything that was not eaten was boxed up by the staff and given to the guests. Everyone got a slice of birthday cake which was carefully put into individual paper bags for guests to take home. The music selected by staff was appropriate for the setting. Overall a delightful time and highly recommend it for a small group function!!!

Went here today for a friends birthday, as the only male in our group and not a cake eater I wasn’t really looking forward to it. However the tea kept flowing and the sandwiches were very fresh and tasted lovely. I was even supplied with...

Don’t rush, very expensive! Badly organised & can’t accomodate more than 2 people! Shame but can’t see it lasting long! Billy Faiers must have a lot of patience if she gets the same service! Wouldn’t recommend & wouldn’t use again!

Cute place but terrible coffee and stale cupcakes, imagine they’ve been sitting there for quite a while. Not cheap either.

Cute little independent tea room (much needed) which serves teas, coffee, cakes, sandwiches and afternoon teas. Very cosy and picturesque surroundings but a little pricey £4.60 for a ham sandwich !!!!
