This is a fabulous place - have eaten in here many times with my 3 daughters - great selection of wonderful food and the staff are super friendly. A big plus for us is they also do gluten free food and are very knowledgable - highly recommend!
We came from Purfleet, Essex for some tea and a spot of lunch. What a gem of a place!! Beautiful food in a great setting. Lovely place. Friendly, passionate owner and staff. We will definitely be returning! Thank you!
Can't rave about this place enough. Friendly staff, lovely food, good coffee and lovely service. Nice atmosphere in this little independent. The biscuits were to die for!!!
UPDATE: I've recently gone gluten-free and find while larger cafes etc don't cater well to gluten-free peeps, Helen does! Gluten free bread so I can have my favourites without worrying! �
I visited Helen’s cafe today for breakfast, the customer service was great and ran by a genuinely friendly family. The food was also great I ordered advocado, scrambled egg, tomato and rocket on toast. The cafe itself is decorated really nicely and has a genuine family feel! I would highly recommend and will be going back to try out something else on the menu � x
Polite good service, food looked excellent and the coffee and cinnamon cake were absolutely delicious. Definitely a place well worth visiting.
Had breakfast this morning, yummy breakfast and friendly helpful staff will definitely be visiting again. The perfect start to my Mother’s Day �
Staff are lovely and very attentive food is delicious,meze is wonderful,beef brisket is to die for, have been a few times and have taken my aunt who is a bit fussy she had a ham and tomato sand but she gave it 10/10 as ham was lovely not that cheap stuff u get in some establishments.

Great food and a great friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend
Had a lovely breakfast this morning. Lovely location and the staff are so friendly! Coconut cake was delicious. Look forward to our next visit! X
We held the reception for our sons Christening here on Sunday. Helen and her daughters were excellent from start to finish, and put on a fantastic spread for us and all our guests.
We all left very happy and full. Whether it's just for coffee, or for a special event, I couldn't recommend Helen's Coffee on the Green any higher!
Had a lovely hot chocolate and delicious biscuits. Food looked great. Fantastic large kids area at the back with toys and room for buggies. Large changing table in toilets. Super friendly owner and staff including helping me out with the buggy. Some nice handmade bits for sale too. Have been back already and will be returning again soon! Thanks Helen!
Lovely café. Lovely staff.. with very nice food and drinks. I was especially impressed with the fact they had dairy free milk (soy or almond) for my coffee! 👍🏼
Lovely place, friendly staff, delicious food and great coffee.
We went here for lunch and had a lovely time. Great food and cake, even a lovely little room for the kids to play. Will be going back very soon.
Went to lunch there last week with my wife and it was excellent. Had a Meze and everything was home made and fresh. Well worth waiting a long time for a table and Helen was very busy without seeming to be stressed. Looks like we'll be regulars there.
Thanks so much for putting up with us all yesterday! We had a lovely time. Fantastic afternoon tea 🍰💗
Helen is an amazing host, her attention to detail is amazing and it shows in her food, Helen has a passion and love for food! If you haven't tried Helens coffee on the green you are really missing out! ❤️

I have visited with friends and my husband, relaxing vibe and great coffee. I have also hired the venue for a lunch gathering, brilliant food and service!
Just had the most yummy lunch. We had today's special - avocado and fried egg on toast. Also sampled the Luxury hot chocolate which was absolutely delicious. Really friendly service in lovely surroundings. Highly recommended. X
I defy you to try the Avocado Crush and not love it. Yummy!!
We just had the best time with super service from Helen and her daughter. The food was home made and when my son said that he loved the Oreo milkshake Made from scratch more than his Sister!! Lol that says it all. This is one hell of a local business, which will be one huge success in my home town of Chingford. Great Prices along with delicious food and a smile x See you all very soon
Helen's what a gem!!
The staff are super friendly and happy to help.
Good selection of food and Hot/Cold drinks available including fresh baked goods.
If you do have time to pop in for some breakfast, give one of the
Greek breakfasts a try. I had a Greek twist on the full English breakfast.
Love this cafè! Me and my husbands favourite place to have lunch. Food is always amazing, fresh and tasty. Coffee is the best coffee i've ever tasted. Service is outstanding. Helen and her team are so friendly and always make you feel welcome. Extra bonus dog friendly. Would highly recommend!!
Helen’s is our go to in North Chingford - food is great (the takeaway salads have been a life saver over the years) as is the coffee. Food is really fresh and great options. Helen is also really sweet and lovely. She remembers who you are and makes an effort to get to know you - makes you feel like a part of a community! Best cafe in North Chingford!
What a delightful hidden gem!! So pleased we found it. My friend and I visited for coffee/cake on a Monday teatime, after reading lots of lovely reviews.
We arrived at 3.30pm, only to discover, they close early on a Monday. However, we were not turned away, but welcomed inside 😍. We had two soya lates and homemade lemon cake. Probably the nicest I've had. All cakes are homemade and look delicious!! Helen was absolutely lovely, so welcoming and warm. Will definitely be returning.
(Seating available outside and is child friendly)
A clean , bright & welcoming independent cafe. The food focus is all about quality and flavour , I’ve eaten here several times and have enjoyed everything I’ve ordered , the “Full Gringlish “ breakfast is particularly flavorsome and plenty of it too, the coffee is equally outstanding.
As for the service ; 5 stars from me , warm welcome , attentive , quick and efficient .
Great value for money
Great place to eat or just have a coffee. Service is very friendly and helpful. Lovely family atmosphere.
This place is an absolute Gem!! Helens food is unreal!! She is very accommodating with you needs / wants!! I honestly can't get enough of her delicious food!!!
Lovely food always served with a smile!! I love the Go Greek Ciabatta as a taste of my culture in my local area!!! Highly recommend
At Helen’s coffee, you’ll find many more things apart from tea and coffee. Such as a variety of flatbreads, pizzas, smoothies, milkshakes, toast, cakes and soft drinks. Helen’s got a little play area for kids as well. I came across some beautiful handmade greeting cards and tot bags for sale, there is a little notice board where other little businesses display their promotions and services too. I really enjoyed having my smoothie and cake overlooking the Green this sunny summer morning.
Delicious food and great staff. So friendly and accommodating. This weekend we enjoyed a tasty Greek breakfast and take away hot cross buns. I inquired about afternoon tea and can’t wait to book in a treat!
