Short walk from Chingford Overground station and on the edge of Epping forest. Good fried breakfast. Toilet for customers only. Limited indoor seating, so could be a wait for a table at busy times.

Dropped into the Holly Trail Cafe on Saturday for a cup of tea. Very nice atmosphere and was served by Adam who was very polite and made us very welcome.

Went in today for a Calipo, but had none, so took a punt on a lovely looking Victoria sponge. You have to try it. Was delicious. Thanks guys. And yes take away cake for a hike in Epping forest works.

I’m a big fan of this cafe, staff are friendly and it’s a great place for a sandwich.
Feels buzzy, always lots of walkers, golfers and cyclists around.
Great pit stop, especially now the outside seating has returned.

Free parking. Blue badge holder parking available. Near to Epping Forest for bike ride or ramble before or after your snack. We had flat white coffee, which was good but felt it was on the small size. Cake was tasty, moist and smelled nice. Cafe area wheelchair accessible. Reasonable amount of covered, outdoor seating. Staff were friendly. Lost a star because young female staff member had her chin covered with a mask, and used her bare hands to lift cake on to show plates.

Relaxed vibe friendly place - we popped in for some brunch and had a good time. Large menu & nice food, with outside eating area for warmer weather. They catered well for our toddler as well. A stones throw from the golf course and next to Chingford plain, it's great for grabbing some food mixed with a bit of nature. Also a short walk from the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge & Connaught Water

I had the cream baked omelette (ham, cheese & mushroom), my girlfriend had the chicken pie. We both really enjoyed them. The kitchen is open to the cafe so you can see it all being freshly made in a very clean kitchen.

Nice little cafe on the edge of the forest, opposite the golf course. Had coffees and hot chocolates with the kids. Not the cheapest, but the drinks were good quality. They do hot food but didn't stay to try. Ideally located before hopping back on the train into the city.
