Food is tasty. But they have the weirdest booking system where you need to confirm their confirmation email. We thought we had a table but turned out no. We then sat at a small table and the service was very rushed as they wanted to free up the table asap. They forgot one of our sides and then brought it when we finished. They need more staff to cope with the busy times.

Belgique Café and Patisserie in Epping is a delightful spot that brings a European café vibe to the heart of Essex. Known for its stylish interiors and a welcoming ambiance, it’s a great place to enjoy a coffee or treat after a walk or day out. The patisserie selection is visually stunning, with vibrant colors and meticulous presentation that makes every dessert a feast for the eyes. However, despite the impressive display, there’s one noticeable drawback: the sweetness level. While the pastries look amazing, some of them are overwhelmingly sweet, to the point that it becomes a bit much, especially if you’re not a fan of sugary treats. This high sugar content can feel a bit indulgent, almost too much so. It would be fantastic if Belgique offered a range of semi-sweet or less sugary options to cater to those who prefer a more balanced taste. A reduction in sugar could elevate the flavors of the ingredients, allowing the natural tastes to shine through without overpowering them. The café offers an extensive drink menu, from lattes to fresh juices, which pairs well with the patisserie. The staff are friendly and attentive, and service is generally prompt. Belgique is popular among locals, and it can get busy, especially on weekends, so it might be worth planning ahead if you prefer a quieter setting. In summary, Belgique Café and Patisserie is a wonderful place for a sweet treat and coffee, but a touch more variety in sugar levels would make the experience even better for those who like their desserts less sweet.

I am rather glad that this gem has not blown up on Tiktok and therefore the atmosphere is delightful! I visited to celebrate a friend's birthday, table for two and the staff was sweet, friendly and most importantly attentive. They even served us with a slice of cake at the end! A pleasant surprise. Please do not ruin this place for me by raving about it on Tiktok!!!

We had wanted to visit here for some time as they have large signs up with what appear to be excellent deals, however once we asked about them we were told that they no longer have these offers (even though they put up the signs daily to entice you in). The food was mediocre and not worth half what we paid, It’s rare that I ever regret eating out but today was one of those days. We had multiple starters and mains, the starter chicken tikka was nice but the chicken tikka with the main was chewy and totally different. The chicken in the byriani was foul and I couldn’t eat it. I ordered chicken pakoras and at first I thought they were raw but there was something odd about them, a strange slimy yet chewy texture and they smelt and tasted awful, this was the first time in my life I’ve ever returned any food. The service was good and the chap was very friendly and attentive but right now I feel very sick just a few hours after eating. Chips and chapattis were nice. Naan and bhajis were doughy and undercooked. Next time we will stick to cafe passion, for the same price the food is many many times superior to this. My assumption is that this place’s bread and butter is from drunks after a night out, just like meenas was for me and my mates back in the late 90s

Called in here with our grandson for lunch before he went home. I was told there was a wait on food so expected the wait to a certain extent. We both ordered all day breakfasts and the little one had chicken nuggets. When they eventually arrived he did eat most of his because he was hungry but ours wasn’t good at all. The sausage was greasy and tasted like the cheap frozen ones, the eggs were hard, the tomato and toast were burnt to the extent it just snapped apart. The only thing I eat was the bacon. I hadn’t got the energy to complain especially after listening to the table next to us having to complain about their meal. It’s been quite a while since we visited for more or less the same reason, we definitely won’t go back again.
