Crepe and Shake
Coffee shop
ππ The cafe menu sets itself apart from the other cafes in Waltham Abbey. The summer berry smoothie is delightful and the beef pastrami panini is great. The crepes are the big deal with both sweet and savoury options. They inspired a tinge of jealousy when I saw them arrive at another customer's table.
