Cobe

You'll find Cobe tucked into South Street, that stretch where Romford's finally getting some decent independent places. It's the kind of café where they've clearly thought about their coffee — the sort of place that makes you realise what you've been missing if you've only ever grabbed a chain coffee. The crowd's a mix of laptop workers, locals popping in for their regular, and people who've actually made the trip specifically for decent beans. It's not precious about it though; walk in and you're treated like a regular whether it's your first or fiftieth visit.
