The Sunflower Café & Crêperie in Waltham Forest

A cozy spot with a warm ambiance, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The Mocha was rich and smooth, and the homemade crisps was delicious. Friendly staff and quick service made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a chill hangout! HMC verified As well. ✅️

I asked for a salmon quiche and they sent me leek one , my moneys gone down the drain again

I travelled from south west London to have brunch with my daughter who lives locally in the area. What a lovely restaurant, fabulous service and a friendly environment. We were even offered a free coffee on our departure. How lovely. I would definitely visit again and have already recommended this lovely place to my friends and family. Well deserved 5 stars

Very nice restaurant to enjoy breakfasts with families. I will rate 5star. Price are reasonable.

Great ice cream and drinks . The only reason why I dont go anymore is because it is overcrowded and tight very narrow .

I happen to visit the cafe during hi team time. It is perfect place to relax with outdoor terrace seating in a warm and sunny day. The interiors are bright and inviting as well. The food is fresh with all European flavours to savory crepes . The cafe offers a wide choice of tea & coffee selection along with pastry & Ice cream to offer. The service was prompt and warmly anticipated.

coffee professionals and with excellent crepes we highly recommend it!!

This place has been our cafe of choice for many years now. Love their sweet and savoury crepes, quiches and salad. Friendly staff and comfortable and chic interior.👍👍

Lovely cafe with a wide range of options to choose from. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the chicken tikka panini & peri peri chicken panini too.

Paid for extras I didn't receive, panini was not good and waffle was dry.

Sunflower is a place with unique interior design and the costumer service is outstanding, staff is very friendly. Coffee is perfect! The best flat white I have ever had! :) I highly recommend trying peri peri chicken panini - it's so fresh and tasty.

I remember going here a couple of years ago and we visited again earlier today. The place seemed dirty and the staff were quite rude. Definitely gone down hill. We left and went to another place. Leyronstone certainly has changed Not sure I’ll visit again sunflower cafe again.

Great restaurant with the best coffee!

The best crepe and panini ever. Strongly recommend this place

Great place with Belgian waffles and bright pleasant sunflowery decor. Pleasant staff.

It's always hard to find a nice place when eating alone, but it was ideal here. A friendly welcome without being overly chatty, getting a table arranged quickly with a menu on the table immediately. Coffee was lovely in a very nice cup and saucer, along with a great breakfast. They had a good range of options for breakfast with a create your own option too. Very happy and would recommend.

Gelato pancakes cakes iced coffee good food as well. Always have a nice chat. It is also a great place to meet up. It still doesn't disappoint. I had a lovely chicken lasagne with a beetroot salad and an iced coffee😋 Pecan pie with iced coffee. Oh boy, do we love the iced coffee😋

Great Algerian restaurant breakfast

Absolutely love this place, was a family favourite for many years. the staff are super lovely and the food is amazing

First time here, the interior caught my eye and I was hungry so why not? The staff was very polite Coffee was nice and tasty , same like the food I enjoyed 🧆☕️ Nice, bright decor so I enjoyed taking lots and lots of pictures.

Very delicious food. Very clean and spacious with friendly staff.

From the people behind the counter to the food and the atmosphere everything was great. A family atmosphere

Strongly recommend the coffee- I ordered cappuccinos, the lasagna was excellent, all the portion sizes were generous and I enjoyed my experience

amazing service. cheap and fast service

Kids love it - friendly service and food food. - I’ve come here a number of times.

Have been visiting here for years. Food and service is consistently good. Coffee is also good, none of your instant stuff or cheap beans, tastes good.

Decided to visit this cafe and creperie to satisfy my need for lunch. Lovely interior with good customer service. Opted for chicken and rice which came with a chick pea condiment. At £9.99 it was over priced for a lack lustre, mediocre meal. The chicken was very dry and the rice lacked salt and overall the pazance which I was seeking was missing. Apologies, to all those faithful customers but this wasn’t for me.

Beautiful place, been here a few times, owner and servers are so kind and wonderful, the food looks gorgeous and the place is so tidy and unique. Love it.

I like to sit there while I study. It’s a nice and cosy atmosphere, quiet, clean and customers service is great. Food is delicious and portions are of generous size. I would definitely recommend this place. Best place in Leytonstone ❤️

This cafe is an absolute gem in Leytonstone. The coffee is amazing, and it was my first time trying Flan and it was so delicious! The staff are lovely and really passionate about their food. The atmosphere is lovely; it’s a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Been around for 10+ years and always serving the same level of good quality food

Lovely staff. Lovely food. Relaxing decor, prices got higher just like everywhere I suppose.

This is always a favorite with my grandchildren, great selection of sweet treats and a lovely family atmosphere with great service.

Good decor & atmosphere, but the food is epic. You can tell this place is passionate about their craft. From the coffee to the sandwiches, the pastry and salads, it's all perfectly executed. Good work guys keep it up. If you are having a business meeting, a date or you want to take the family out, this place will tick all boxes.

My go-to place for paninis, etc. It is slightly pricey, but quality and taste is worth every penny.

Visited on 07/10/23 with two friends. Ordered a Chai Latte. My friend ordered a Latte and a slice of chocolate cake. Everything was very tasty and well presented. Good atmosphere and a variety of different snacks and food available. Would recommend this place if you are in the area or passing by. Café was HMC approved.

Très bon accueil, personnels très sympathiques, repas délicieux.

Très bon restaurant,menus délicieux ❤️ personnel très sympas et souriant 👌

Usually my favourite go to place to have lunch here when I’m visiting my grandaughter in Leytonstone for a Nanna day. Always child friendly and really delicious food. 🥰

Best coffee ever. Great love to go and relax and have freshly made food. Jazakallah

We attend this place on our one day a week office day. They prepare delicious fresh food everyday and are clean. The staff are friendly. Overall a pleasant place for lunch.

Went here for brunch and would say who was reasonably good

Okay sevice and atmosphere, food is nice but I personally don't like chicken tikka panini and I think they added pesto so it was my fault on the order. Next time will order something else.

Had great time with the spaghetti bolognese. But dont microwave it next time the cheese becomes chewy. I love the signature drink and the crepe is lovely! Coming back next time..

Great café friendly safe Good coffee ☕

Great staff working the day I went, nice place to sit and have a coffee

Visited for a meeting on Saturday morning with 6 other Church friends. Great service clean restaurant and good Coffee

I like the cafe just to sit and chill with savouries or desserts.

Very clean cafe, child friendly! Food (panini’s & jacket potato) is super tasty. Serve selection of fresh juices too. Would highly recommend. See you soon :)

My little one was craving crêpe so we came here for dessert. I love the sunflower 🌻 décor and the crêpe and hot chocolate we ordered were on point. Toilet was clean but the sink was too high for my 3 year old. Service was great, but a little slow for the little one who couldn't wait to get his treat!

Love the smell of greasy old Chinese women and really increased my appetite also great work from the 9 year old cook.

Nice and cozy. Seats need replacing. But a decent enough place.

Nice place. Clean. Prices were average, not high or low. Nice interior. The crepes were half price because we went between 5 - 7pm

I’ve been coming here for few years now always get the same panini and latte or the creamer (a it summer drink) however there’s been a recent change with management/ownership tho the food quality and taste has stayed the same not so much the coffee. The coffee tastes burnt/bitter not sure if the new people don’t know how to make it or the coffee beans have been changed as the taste has been consistent for the last few times I have been. It’s been a downer since Illy coffee is my favourite.

This place was our favourite since we moved in Leytonstone 10 yrs ago and always recommend to everyone but not until today! Today we went there with our 1 yr old and she was playing happily and screams from time to time. The one staff,an old man behind the bar was so rude and shush us in front of everyone bec of our little one. He told us everyone doesnt like a noise in the cafe when he served the waffles to us. I sarcasticly said sorry to him saying we couldnt stop a happy baby to scream but of course he didnt get the message. The other family sitting next to us was lovely and even spoke to us abt it. If u have happy babies dont come to this place because the old miserable man behind the bar will just ruin ur day!It's such a shame we loved coming to this place,management should choose their staff!This old man should be in the library not in your a cafe!

Very cute very comfortable halal cafe, lots of different food options . Crepes sweet or savoury. Pastries..lasagne .. definitely recommend their signature coffee drink . They need to change the straws though the drink is quite thick and the overly thin paper straws are useless.

Needed refreshment after a lot of walking and came across this place. a gem! Very attractive food displayed, great attention to detail,staff friendly and the most attentive I've come across in a while ,clearing plates etc after the customer has left the place and it's spotless.Great menu from savoury to sweet.I had a falafel and hummus wrap,had many times in different places,came with some green salad,and potato crisps on an attractive plate and was cooked properly right through and thats a first.Wish I had something as good as this in my part of SW London/Surrey!

Always a really nice place for lunch with children. Comfy seating, wide menu choice, friendly people.

Food is ok and with old food that is warmed in a microwave. BUT portions are very small compared to the price charged. The prices have gone up double - i understand inflation has gripped the market BUT not 120% increase. Just spent £50 and still hungry for 2x adults. There are plenty of other places to eat that do NOT give microwaved food for that price and not be hungry afterwards

Walked in and and had to find seating ourselves. Which was dirty. We asked a staff member if she can wipe table and she literally gave us a dirty look and walked away. Pretty appalled. Personally i would have walked out and gone elsewhere but i had someone with me. We then just changed tables once we found a clean table. Didnt rate the food much tbh. And much nicer cafes nearby. Disappointed first experience and wont be returning.

Amazing customer service, and amazing food as always. Would 10/10 recommend

Amazing food, amazing service and very friendly people. This is the go to place!

Great service, friendly staff.

I absolutely love this cafe. Lovely people, tasty frappe and delicious cappuccinos served here.

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere, delicious food and desserts. Very large choice of food and snacks. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Friendly staff. I came in after I bought some groceries from Sainsbury's and noticed one of the sauces I bought exploded all over my hands. The guy was really nice and gave me some tissues to clean myself up with. Nice toasted panini's. I had the chicken and sweet corn filling which was lovely and came with some home made crisps. Will definitely come back again.

Fair selection of food and drinks. We tried peri peri panini sandwich and crepe, and couple of macchiatos.

I used to bring my kids here every week for lunch and dessert. They loved it and we even used to order from Deliveroo in lockdown or when we were sick. Spent a lot of money here, it was our go-to place for YEARS. I recently had such an awful experience I have told my kids we will never go there again. The manager received a call for the wrong number, he shouted 'you're wasting my time' and hung up, very bad vibes but assumed he was having a bad day, he was then flirting with a new waitress, i heard him say (from my table), about her birthday 'when did your mum push you out her pussy?' I was horrified at the language in front of my kids. It then became apparent he wasn't enjoying my kids being there as they were playing with the sugar sachets (usually a good way to keep them entertained, let them take them out the pot and put them back in), any parent with young children will understand a simple game like this can keep them entertained at lunch, but the manager came over, and took them all away from them...looking very angry. The kids were confused and upset and were literally doing no harm - it's not as if they were opening them and wasting any! Such a shame, thankfully there are lots of other cafes in the area, i just have to keep telling my kids they can't go there when they ask me now...

May late coffees and also good treats for the kids here, though the only thing they lack is a good portion of chips on the menu to add onto any of their meals! Would go down a treat 😉 Also Halal

A wonderful cafe with geat food. The sweet and savoury crepes are very nice as is the oreo ice cream. Paninis are pretty god too. Love the deco!

I asked for bananalicious take away and I have paid £27ish and when I've got home instead of banana I've got strawberry there on my crepes. Be careful if you take away make sure is what you asked for. I think they should be more professional because I have paid for that..... I hate strawberry on crepes and imagine I was allergic ? What would happen then ? Spent money and didn't like...

Friendly staff and great food, plus it's handy that they're open late - here made a surprisingly good place to get some work done. The food and drinks range is huge and affordable too!

Amazing. I am a fan of this! Can’t wait to go again!

I love it here! With a young baby and just the best food to choose from! The service is fantastic everyone is really friendly and welcoming! Little Chocolate almonds with your coffee at the toffee latte at the minute is to die for! Such a good place and the lasagne is by far my favourite!

The desserts were all on point and we received a 50% discount on them. The Croque monsieur was fantastic. I had the one with mushrooms and my brother in law ordered the one with ham. Both were 10/10. Kids loved it and we had a great evening there. Nice layout and decor and nice staff. Well done to the Sunflower Café Team

Great family place. Price is decent with simple food

Awesome cafe run by very nice staff. The food is excellent here the shop is very clean and spacious

A late lunch option near our family butcher that we've wanted to try for a while. I had a margherita crepe and mocha, and my wife had a lemon+sugar crepe and hot chocolate.

Ordered from Uber eats, food came ice cold and the quality was terrible. Bland and flavourless. Complete waste of money

Plenty of variety and superb settings. Food was nice but for the money just tasted a little on the bland side. Well worth a visit of you are in the area!

Food lovely, service great. Worth a visit!

My previous review was very positive, but it seems since then the ownership has changed and the food quality has dropped, very disappointed won't be visiting again.

The peanutella crepe was delicious!

Had brunch here with the family at the weekend, there were 8 adults and 3 children. The team easily slotted us in so we could sit together. The food was lovely, there is a small menu but all the food is well presented and very tasty for the price. The meat is halal, and there are plenty of options for everyone including fussy kids. Definitely come back, the whole team are really polite and accomodating and we even took some food to take away with us.

Good cafe, clean and bright inside. Had the spaghetti bolognese which was good, served quickly. Would recommend.

Excellent all type of breakfast tea coffee with highly respected environment

The best coffee shop and friendly staff

I love this small and very friendly cafe. Very calm with interesting yellow-black interior design. Delicious savory and sweet crepes. Perfect coffee and freshly made juice. I am very often customer with my colleagues and friends to have a freshly made breakfast or lunch. Thank you 😊

Nice service, good quality food, nice coffee.

Friendly staff and really nice pancakes.

Good service, nice little shop.

Service excellent Waffles beyond excellence

Cute little cafe, yummy food and great service, all at very decent prices. We recently moved to the area and happy to find it here.

Very very bad experience I had last evening, very slow service, food quality was lower then standard, racists environment, not recommended.

Very very bad experience, not recommended, bad service, bad food, quality and quantity both was bad. Low rated environment.

Lovely atmosphere, a great variety of food options to choose from and really good portion size. The food was fresh and tasted amazing. Great value for money with the complimentary handmade crisps and salad.

Had a nice spinach and cheese crepe. Tasty, plugged a whole! Reasonable price £5.80

I'm a regular, the food is always good and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Nice plase to come with friends and family.
