Wake Cup - Chingford in Wealden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Originally just went in for a cuppa but the enormous cake selection was just too good to resist! Indeed there was a huge selection of all sorts of food. Friendly and helpful staff, busy and happy ambience.

Chanced upon this lovely cafe whilst walking through North Chingford. It looked fairly busy so thought we'd give it a go and so glad we did. I had eggs benedict which was very tasty and a generous portion whilst my vegan friend had a vegan sausage panini. This wasn't on the menu and the staff kindly made especially for her. We then shared a delicious apple pie and ice cream (vegan). The staff were very helpful, food excellent and the background music superb. All in all, an excellent local eaterie. Will certainly return. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

It's hard to understand how a restaurant with so many dishes offered having poached eggs cannot seem to recruit chefs who know how to make them. Both dishes we had came with poached egges with yolks that did not run, clearly overcooked. The Eggs Royale came with a cold Hollandaise sauce that tasted horrible (good thing I had it on the side), and the brioche bun resembled a cheap hamburger bun. Coffee was no better than mediocre.

Ended up here while on the search for a gluten free brunch. Sooooo glad we did! The staff were great and had good knowledge of gluten free products. They were happy to substitute items on the breakfast that weren’t gf (sausages & bread). Service throughout was really good and the food was great. Will definitely be returning!! They also had some very yummy looking cakes and staff were happy to point out which were gf too. Thank you Wake Cup :)

Excellent contemporary cafe. The food is always of the highest quality and presentation. The service is also excellent. Lots of seating but needs to be as it is busy.
