Wanstead Tea Hut is a charming cafe located on Wanstead Park Avenue, offering a delightful escape for both locals and visitors to the beautiful Wanstead Park. Patrons rave about the menu, particularly the jacket potatoes praised for their taste and reasonable pricing. One of the highlights is the efficient service, featuring a separate counter to streamline food orders and a loudspeaker system for convenient pickups.
Fans of sweet treats will appreciate the creative offerings, such as the exquisite Affogato, a brilliant fusion of iced coffee and soft serve ice cream, making it a must-try for dessert enthusiasts. Another customer delight is the pairing of Mocha Coffee with Lemon Drizzle Cake, where the moisture of the cake complements the rich coffee almost perfectly, earning a glowing five-star review.
The space is welcoming for everyone, including families and dog owners, creating a community vibe that's hard to resist. With friendly service and a diverse menu catering to both humans and their furry friends, the Wanstead Tea Hut is undoubtedly an essential pit stop for anyone enjoying a day in the park.

We loved our jacket potatoes. Pricing is relatively cheap. There's a separate counter at the back that helps ease waiting times. For food orders to be prepared, you're asked your name. When your order is ready, you're called using a loudspeaker system.

Couldn’t choose between their iced coffee and soft serve ice cream, the lovely lady said she would put it together and make us Affogato! It was absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to come back for more :)

My recommendation of a great mid-walk pairing: Mocha Coffee & Lemon Drizzle cake. The moist sharpness cuts nicely through the warm decadent creaminess. 5 Stars.

Stopped for lunch today on way through to wanstead. Freshly cooked bacon sandwich! Friendly service, a good range of snacks. Used by both regular dog owners and families plus visitors.

It is a great place to buy refreshments, snacks (... and much more even for your dog or/ and for the ducks in the pond;) for your walk in the Wanstead Park.

Wonderful shop with everything you need in a sunny day. Ice-cream, coffee, tea, cake, ice-coffee...many more. Though it says closing at 6pm, today we found it open till 7pm! Beautiful place next to the pond and woodland.

Hot beverages and snacks in a country park. Perfect for a stop off while walking the hound.

Great place to stop off during a walk. They do plenty of milk alternatives and service is friendly
