Ramble Cafe E7

Ramble Cafe E7 is a Norwegian-inspired independent cafe tucked under the railway arches on Avenue Road in Forest Gate, one of the most beloved and distinctive breakfast and brunch spots in E7. Rated 4.7 stars across 267 Google reviews and described by Londonist as "one of the most beloved breakfast spots in Forest Gate," Ramble -- the new incarnation of the former Tromsø Cafe -- has built a devoted following for its Nordic-inflected menu, exceptional coffee and warm, unhurried atmosphere.
