About This Pub
Ah, Cafe Fino – it's one of those places in Romford that just feels like a friendly local haunt, you know? I've got to say, the staff really shine through; they're so attentive and make you feel welcome, whether it's Leanne sorting you out with a smile or Lucy keeping things fun with her hosting. The food's generally spot on for something straightforward, like a tasty omelette or a quick coffee that hits the mark, and the atmosphere buzzes in a nice, unpretentious way. On the flip side, it's not all perfect – some reviews mention meals that didn't quite live up to expectations, like dry veggies or food that doesn't stay fresh long, which could leave you a tad underwhelmed if you're hoping for something more reliable. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together, especially if you're after good value and a warm vibe, but it'd be wise to stick to their stronger dishes to avoid any surprises.

I keep coming back! Food was amazing as usual and Leanne is such a friendly face, nothing is too much for her. A***** Can not recommend highly enough.
Often walk past and the place is usually quite packed. The atmosphere is great. Lady that served me was welcoming and very attentive without being over the top. If you're looking for a cheap breakfast then I suppose this is the place for you. You get what you pay for huh. I personally won't be eating here again. I had cooked breakfast. Sausage is deep fried and poor quality. Portion size is good but I couldn't finish. Bread is cheap and was barely toasted or buttered. Whilst I won't eat here again, I would go back for a coffee which was to my liking. Nice little place- up the quality of breakfast items, increase the price...is my opinion.
Lucy was fantastic, great hostess, friendly, funny and a fantastic choice of music.
Food was also really nice, had an omelette and chips, which sounds simple but was really tasty. Will come again.
Walked in with my friend for a quick coffee and we was welcomed so nicely that this made us feel so comfortable. The waiter Andy and waitress Katrina the have a lovely customer service. Thank you so much
I am putting 2 to comparison of how the food was here few years ago. I had vegi set and it simply was all dry and not presentable, my husband had omlet which was not cooked inside and my son had waffles that got hard as a rock minutes after it was in front of him so he ended up not even eating.
