Vibrant interior serving pancakes, waffles, hot drinks and desserts

Last weekend my wife and I were looking for a new breakfast spot and after a bit of searching she found @querkycafe
Which happens to be Halal so we decided to give them a go. They have 3 locations so we decided to visit the closest one to us in Forest Gate. 

When we got there I was a little surprised to find such a small cafe.. However they told me to walk down the side which lead us to a lovley secret indoor garden dining area. 

The menu has the Classic English breakfast as well a low carb Keto Breakfast option as well and there's also some brunch options like chicken N waffles. 

We went for a Big Breakfast which was actually enough for the 2 of us, all fresh and well made in particular the hash brown. You can also swap out items, we swapped the turkey rashers for grilled Halloumi.

Been a while since I had chicken N waffles and I enjoyed this dish. I was expecting something premade but the waffle and chicken tasted fresh and homemade. 

Ordering and payment is done via your phone and the system worked well. The staff were genuinely friendly and service was good. 

There's no fruit juices on the menu and no eggs Royale etc style dishes but, they have smoothies and other options. 

I'll definitely be back again. All food halal. No alcohol. I paid for my meal and was not invited. 

📍 180 Forest Ln, London E7 9BB

Querky Cafe

Went here with my husband and 2 kids, they have quite alot of food options and kids menu also. The kids pancake portions is very good, they have two pretty good sized pancakes. The service was great, they gave colouring for the little ones, the cafe looks small from the entrance but they have more seating at the back through a side entrance. Food quality was good and average prices, the only reason why I gave 4* is because my husband asked for a recommendation for a cold drink that the waitress said is very nice, but to be honest it wasn’t, also I had an issue with the taste of one of the items on my meal, but they were very accommodating and changed it for me. Overall I would recommend this cafe.

Came here on a Saturday morning and was spoilt for choices with the breakfast options nearby.

I have another Querky Cafe next to me as well and too eager in checking it out.

I got a big breakfast and an almond croissant with 2 different types of coffees.

I must admit, I was impressed with the quality and service. The staff are very friendly and very welcoming. They got some good staff here.

They offered the garden seating which we weren’t aware of and it’s an amazing space!

Will be definitely coming back here again.

9/10 Will recommend this place!

We ordered two Indian Breakfasts. One veg and the other non veg. Also a full English breakfast.  The chili paneer in the veg breakfast and butter chicken in the non veg breakfast were both very tasty.

The drinks we ordered (both hot and cold) were of high quality.

The food was served within the time range given and all the staff members were friendly, helpful and efficient.

Definitely recommend for both small and big groups.

I recently visited this café, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots. The atmosphere is so welcoming and cozy, perfect for relaxing with a coffee or catching up with a friend. The staff are genuinely friendly and make you feel at home the moment you walk in.

The food is fresh and full of flavor, with plenty of thoughtful options on the menu. I especially loved how everything felt homemade and made with care.

It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy the moment – a real gem in the area. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re nearby! 🌿☕🍰

Waited 90 minutes for my food for it to be the most bland cold food ever. The bacon tasted like plastic the toast was just a slice of bread thrown into the bottom of the box. The sausage was completely mushy inside and There was a hair on top of my hash brown. I’ve never made a negative review on any store so this store has earned thr privilege after ordering out thousands of times to be the worst of the worst
