Our Story

The kitchen at Romy

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.

Coffee beans

We’re not trying to be the biggest cafe in Walthamstow, just the one you actually want to come back to.

Who We Work With

Origin Roasters

Our house coffee, roasted in Bermondsey and rotated seasonally.

Fielding Dairy

Milk from a small family-run dairy in Hertfordshire.

Postcard Teas

Loose-leaf tea, sourced direct from small growers.
