A modern take on the sandwich bar.
We'd read a few reviews of Daisy's which were very enthusiastic and so decided to check it out for ourselves.
Situated in a small row of smart shops (an organic grocer and a newly-refurbished Chinese restaurant sit next door to it) among Walthamstow's usual mix of shabby and chain stores, Daisy's colourful shopfront certainly stands out.
Inside, it is airy and light, with simple decor heavily reliant on Ikea (right down to the glasses the fruit juice arrived in) and modern (local?) art hanging on the walls - all available to buy, should one be so inclined.
We ordered a couple of baguettes - in the £2.50 - £4 sort of range - but they also do toasted ciabatta and panini. My companion was a little nonplussed by the complete lack of salad in her prawn & marie rose baguette, which, with its bright orange sauce, was a bit too heavy on the ketchup. I had tuna & sweetcorn which was, you know, fine.
I think some reviews of this place perhaps promise too much. It is basically a standard sandwich bar - the sort which usually has a lot of aluminium and white tiles - with some funky modern decor. Of course, the big selling point of a lot of the reviews passed us by: this place has a real reputation for being child (and breast feeding)-friendly. Viewed in that light, Daisy's must be an oasis for new families.
