Not a greasy spoon

Little Olive is a small Greek café a couple of minutes' walk from Hornchurch station. The menu leans continental: Eggs Benedict and smashed avocado on sourdough, toasties, pastries, fresh juice and smoothies, and a flat white people cross town for.

Everything is cooked to order and the doors open at six, so it works for the early train as well as a slow Saturday brunch. In 2025 the Romford Recorder named it Hornchurch's highest-rated café.

The sourdough dishes are on another level, fresh, generous and full of flavour. The coffee is honestly some of the best in the area. Nothing else around here comes close.Google review
My partner and I come here most weekends, it is our go-to spot. We love the toasties, the coffees and today we even tried the homemade donuts, which were superb.Google review
