Caffe Della Continental

You're walking through Mercury Shopping Centre on Mercury Gardens and suddenly the smell of fresh coffee and butter hits different. Caffe Della Continental does that continental breakfast thing properly — none of the half-hearted attempts you get elsewhere in Romford. It's the kind of place where your cappuccino arrives in an actual cup, the pastries are still warm, and the staff actually care about whether you're happy. The Mercury Centre location means it's dead convenient whether you're shopping or just passing through town.
