Excellent place to go in not so lovely Walthamstow. Best coffee around with the real kick to it and it's only £1.00 to go in a rather large cup. Lovely decor, great place to relax and grab a lunch, cake or lovely cup of coffee plus they are selling wine and beer ,too. In my opinion defenitly one of the nicest coffee shops in walthamstow.

Awful! 27th September 2009

0 found this helpful

We used to frequent this cafe quite a lot, my baby son and I. It has gone downhill in the last few months. The staff are rude and unhelpful. Coffee was awful, and de-caff is instant, yeuch.The staff were rude and unhelpful when my husband tried to return the coffee.
It is heavily frequented by mothers and babies but yet there is no baby changing area, although it has toys for the little ones. The floors need a good clean and the seating also.
I will not be frequenting this place again as it was such a negative experience, has put me off for life. The village cafe is soo much better!

Delightful range of baguettes, paninis and ciabattas; very good coffee, pleasant and delightful service. It is just what the area needed.

A modern take on the sandwich bar. 26th August 2007

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.
