Harris Hoole - Havering

A lovely couple of coffees with some of the friendly service ever. The two ladies serving were a credit to this branch. Gorgeous coffees and lovely food. Only downside? It’s quite expensive. Your get more volume at some of the bigger branded coffee shops but not as nice or this kind of service.

I visited with my mum before we went shopping. She just got a latte and I have a chai tea latte. We both got a sausage roll heated up as well. Mum said her latte was nice. My chai tea tasted just like warm milk and I work in a coffee shop myself so I know what it’s meant to taste like, there was hardly any chai in my drink. The sausage rolls were ok the pastry was lovely but the meat itself was very herby and that’s the only thing that but us off. Other then that we had a nice visit and it’s a cosy little place!

I don't think alot of people that review really understand the concept of harris and hoole. It is a speciality coffee shop serving speciality coffee not commodity crao like Costa and Starbucks. They ask your name to get to know their customers so you have pleasant service. The teams in store don't have control over pricing and seem to want to do their best to serve you amazing quality coffee. Knowledge and a lighten up guys

Coffee ham cheese sandwich cake was lovely BUT SERVICE was poor the table was not cleaned no spoon with coffee no knife to cut sandwich cake

I just spent £8.25 for a large soya latte and a flimsy falafel wrap. Wow, that is ridiculous, and the funniest part of it was that it tasted like I had it from a roadside cafe. I should have walked when I saw the highly inflated prices for Roneo Corner, not Mayfair or Stoke Newington but Romford. It is 2:15 and the place is half empty so I should have turned and left at that point. However I do try and support the cafes when I can. The problem lies when a place thinks it is something better than a cafe because they put some soft armchairs out and have a lot of framed pictures on the walls. The falafel wrap I had £4.70), was a basic, flimsy wrap without flavour, substance or even filling. Out of ten this would get a 2, based on my Gaby's Gaby's Charing cross road) standard for a 10 rating. The coffee is nothing to write home to your mother about unless you are writing to say you spent £3.35 on a coffee PLUS 20p extra for fake milk, the barista's words) and therefore making it a whopping £3.55. None of the major chains would cost that much so who the hell do these people think they are. The coffee was OK, soured by the daylight robbery for the soya milk. Now apparently, never had it in 25 years of having soya milk in my latte's, the milk is fake and he cannot do the nice patterns that cow pus and blood molecules can do yes that is an accurate description). So basically I have gone to Romford and been Cafe Mugged. I should have read the reviews as not one is really favourable as they all mention the extortionate prices. I could have gone to a whetherspoon pub and had coffee with soya milk all day for £1.05, all day. The sad thing being it would have not been much worse than this. Love to say out has been a pleasure but £8.25 for a coffee and wrap is a corporate food con.
