I have only ever been to Rowans for breakfast. As you walk in there are a few sofas for you to get comfy on, other than that there are about 15 tables and chairs. It is always pretty busy with locals especially on a Saturday morning. Rowans is a posh cafe, clean and friendly service.
Breakfast is good, but compared to a normal cafe it is a bit expensive. Their menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. This is the only cafe at this end of Barkingside so if you find yourself coming out of the library feeling a bit hungry you might as well pop in :) -

Rowans is another one of those new coffee shops. You know the kind, browny comfortable interiors, small portions and subtle over-pricing. Yet for some reason, they get away with it. Myself and most people I know really like it - and I have often met with friends here for lunch. What I like about it is how no nonsense it is. The menus are simple yet options are plentiful. And whether you want a pancake, a smoothie or a panini - those Polish waitresses sure are quick and their chefs even quicker.
This is a place where the old ladies are comfortable, yet at the same time you get school kids hanging out here after school - along with the fashionable twenty-somethings sipping their little coffees.
They do a BBQ chicken melt in Panini; which is completely awesome. Why it's different from anywhere else I don't really know but when they melt that thing together it is true magic. Other than that, it's just a nice place to head to with a friend for a coffee - and there's not many places in the high street you can say that about. -

This is a really nice coffee shop located on the Barkingside High street in the same line as other shops. The interior of the place is quite nice with table and chairs and also settees. It is an informal setting coffee place with good ambience. They serve breakfast, coffees, teas, cakes, sandwiches and so on. The food is good and the service is excellent. The staff are really friendly and helpful (especially if you have children). It is an ideal place to go, sit and relax for a while. There are several coffeeshops in the area and this one is one of my favourites!
