Best Cafés in Dagenham

Great staff, great food, great venue!!! 10 out of 10

Had an excellent brunch at The Grind on the weekend. While the food was delicious, it was the service and high energy of the waiters that really blew us away. Sometimes a little goes really far and when your waiter has a sense of humour and really attentive (we were a table of 11) it makes all the difference. Great ambience too in the conservatory, proper vibes-ey. Definitely coming back.

Fabulous local café bistro, open in the evenings at weekends. Lovely, balanced menu and good choice of wine, beers and cocktails. Service is excellent with the friendliest, efficient staff. A very welcome addition to our neighbourhood.!

The best French toast I ever had! Good coffee Nice spot for a brunch with family & friends

Our family group arrived at different times but all were warmly greeted. The small courtyard where we were seated was secluded and nicely shaded. Unfortunately, despite all arriving in time for when our table was booked, we had to wait a very long time to be served any food or drinks. This was the main downside of the afternoon. Some customers who came in after us were served before us, despite our afternoon tea having been pre-ordered. Also, the table was not big enough to hold all of the food and drinks that were brought out as they were brought all together. We ended up keeping some on the bench beside us until we were ready to eat it! There was a free table next to us so it would have made sense to place that at the end of ours to make it more comfortable. The food itself was absolutely delicious and plentiful. Between us, we had several allergies and these were all catered for really well - I was impressed. The staff were pleasant and friendly at all times, if a little slow at serving us. I would definitely eat there again but I would try to find a way of ensuring we would be served more quickly.
