The Waiting Room - London

This is definitely my favourite cafe in the world. It's handily located just over the road from Deptford train station and within easy walking from Deptford High Street bus stop and a little further from Deptford Bridge DLR and bus stop. Originally opened in 2011, it moved to a dew doors down and is refurbed in Nivember 2018. It has an idiosyncratic style, largely influenced by it's strong links with the tattoo parlour a couple of doors down Kids Love Ink It's a focal point for artists and musicians as well as those in need of a cup of the best coffee in Deptford on a break from bargain hunting in the market. Service is always friendly and courteous. They totally get the concept of vegan (many items can be veganised upon request). Their standard blend coffee is Union Revelation and they are soon to introduce guest coffees and filter coffees. It gets busy at breakfast and lunch times particularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays (market days). The loyalty card gives holders every 7th and 14th hot drink free. Get on down there!!!

The waiting room has been on my radar for years, I was stolen to finally try it! what impressed me most was the variety of people there, it seemed to be a lot of masters who knew the personal well and laughed with a laugh. the atmosphere is great, I love how it is decorated and the choice in the music was top notch. I had the chicken ultra, I really enjoyed it! the brot was beautiful, the fake huh is delicious. I also tried a little Philly cheese steak, which was not so beautiful, but still good. I also have a heel flat white and a peanut butter brownie to go the coffee is great there. I go back to try the rest of the menu! really recommend!

You literally can't go wrong with this place brick lane bagels, amazing hot dogs, trashy sammies it's all incredible. It's also super fairly priced and the coffee is the best in the area (made with Oatly, of course). I've taken loads of omni pals here who always love it, too. A total winner.

We went to the waiting room earlier when it was just a cafe and loved the coffee and bagels. but now it also has an evening taco menu! we had margaritas, chili nachos and several tacos, including the special. they were really good! the margaritas were cheap and too tasty perhaps stronger than they seemed! they sit outside in the garden when they can.

Always a friendly reception and a great service from the personal. delicious vegan eating and great coffee. the perfect combi!
