i've was recommended to indulge by a friend who was one of their first customers so i popped in and he was right to recommend it so highly . it's one of my favouritelocaleateries, in fact i often just pop there for tea & cakes or lunch and i've even taken friends and had business meetings here. aysepa makes all her own cakes which are always totally delicious and which she can make to order for parties or birthdays etc.i love the panini's as aysepa & her brother make whatever combination i want which depends on "what i fancy" that can be almost anything : chicken, cheese, tomato & pesto or the "breakfast" panini are my current favourites. all produce is freshly prepared and well presented, served with crisps and a garnish so not your usual café fare. i also like that tea is served with a floral cup & saucer and tea pot which just adds to my afternoon tea ritual and the quality of all of the beverages is a high standard whether eat in or takeaway . the inside is always warm and cosy with a lovely calm atmosphere though i favour sitting outside even in the winter.this is a real community venue as all ages seem to enjoy being here. if you're coming to highams park station this is directly opposite the railway tracks, if you're driving you could park in the tesco's car park as there's no parking in this area. open 8am - 6pm 7 days a week you have no excuse for not paying this lovely little gem a visit soon
