Lovely place to come eat and relax very friendly staff a must place to come eat in waltham abbey (best coleslaw and best sun-dried tomato pesto and spinach panini in the abbey yum yum )
Lovely quaint little cafe in a picturesque location in the town centre. I had afternoon tea with my daughter there today. Food was plentiful, delicious and freshly baked. Quiche was to die for. Lovely & friendly staff. My daughter even commented how the bathroom was even pretty! Found a gem here. It beats a chain cafe any day of the week. Highly recommend and will definitely go back. A must to stop off at next time you are at The Abbey 😊
Excellent venue for lunch. We were travelling home after a weekend reliving 1066. We decided to stop at Waltham Abbey to see Harolds grave and skipping lunch we stumbled on the gatehouse on leaving the Abbey. We were starving by this time and the kind gentleman fed and watered us.....we did see a macdonalds in the area but thought better if it when we found this gem! Quiche and salad yum yum....healthy and filling alternative. As we are both straight back to work today we decided to buy our pack up for the morrow as we wouldn't have time / too exhausted to go to asda. So to say I'm satisfied with the gatehouse is an understatement! ! Couldn't of worked better if we planned it......fabulous an excellent service.
Amazing place had a lovely jacket lunch with the best coleslaw, spot on. So welcoming and friendly, highly recommended x
Gorgeous breakfast this morning in the sunshine, with a stunning view of the Abbey. Delicious food, perfect coffee, beautiful decor and friendly staff... what more do you need!
Very nice quirky coffee shop, lovely customer service, great food.

My third time here - bought a friend and my daughter (birthday treat) for lunch - fabulous service and food
Popped into Waltham Abbey and saw this place. Immaculate with a great location. The breakfast was high quality locally sourced produce, cooked to perfection. Lovely staff too. In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I took home a breakfast for my princess!
Thanks for a lovely valentines meal last night.
Lovely food, lovely friendly owners.
Great location, great service and more importantly great food. Well worth a visit
Just had breakfast here and it was excellent. Staff really friendly and welcoming and food was fresh and really tasty especially the home made coleslaw. Will defo be returning regularly.
Fresh basil on the table smells glorious, dainty mini milk bottles to accompany the tea are so quaint. Lovely friendly service and honest home cooked food.... bread to die for .
Thank you so much Gatehouse Cafe for the complimentary tea you provided us litter pickers today taking part in The Great Plastic Pickup. It was much appreciated.
A lovely spot for a coffee or lunch. Wonderful red velvet cake and chocolate chip shortbread. Egg and bacon sandwich was a meal in itself! Thank you
This is a most delightful little cafe at the back of Waltham abbey cathedral/church.
Well decorated , lovely friendly staff food is excellent . It was hot today , though there is no where ideal they managed to have 3/4 tables outside . They have a clean toilet . And every time I go walking through Lee valley I end up here .
We love coming here for coffee and food... This time we turned up late as they were just closing... Desperate for coffee they kindly accommodated us which they didn't need to do.
Really nice venue and great views of the church
One of the best full english breakfasts I've ever had. Nice atmosphere inside too!
I got served by Lillie today and the service was AMAZING - quick service and the southern wrap was amazing

Sean and the team are just fantastic. Have visited the Café many times and its our go to place for lunch! Great food, great service and stunning location!
Great place for homemade quiche and salad. Friendly family run cafe. Caters well for other diets
Lovely friendly place for a hot drink after a walk around the beautiful Waltham Abbey Gardens. Here's the view from the wall outside the Café. Delicious drinks and snacks safely served through an open window.
Lovely cafe, good food & great service.
Found this cafe on the extra mile site. What a find! We had breakfast sandwiches and tea and took a big lump of bread pudding for the journey. Very nice food and a fair price. Nice location, went for a short stroll through the Abbey gardens. They obviously have lots of regular customers, always a good sign. Very friendly staff. Would most definitely recommend.
Lovely place, nice food and kids friendly visit here second time really love the soup and gnocchi. Will come back for more~
The home from home. My husband and I have visited regularly over the past few years. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming and cosy. I have a ‘fussy taste’ and there are vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend a visit.
Very welcoming and accomodating to us especially as we arrived early for our lunch booking and were a party of 4 adults and 2 children. Nothing was too much trouble. Great food too. Thank you
Bacon sandwich, good coffee, sitting outside with a good view in the sunshine. What's not to like?
What a great to place!We had homemade soup, bread and butter pudding for a lunch stop. Really friendly, buzzing atmosphere, warm welcome and great food! Thank you. Totally recommend.
It was very busy when we visited and as a result, service was slow. However, when the food did arrive, it was very nice and I would recommend The Gatehouse Cafe if you are in the area. Nice location next to Waltham Abbey church and gardens.
This is a wonderful venue and a really friendly little cafe - so worth a visit!
