Our Story
How Romy Started
Romy opened in 2019 on the corner of Grove Road, in a unit that used to be a bike shop. The idea was simple: good coffee, food cooked from scratch, and a room people would actually want to sit in. Five years on it’s still a small team doing the same thing, just with better ovens.
Where It Comes From
We cook a short menu that changes with what’s actually in season, sourced from small growers where we can. Our beans are roasted a few miles away and change through the year so there’s always something worth tasting.
We’re not trying to be the biggest cafe in Walthamstow, just the one you actually want to come back to.
