About Indulgence

Welcome to Indulgence, a delightful café nestled at 142 Hoe Street in London’s vibrant E17 district. This charming spot captures the essence of community dining with a friendly atmosphere that invites patrons to linger longer, whether they’re grabbing a quick coffee or enjoying a leisurely brunch with friends.

As you step into Indulgence, the inviting decor and cozy seating create the perfect backdrop for a meal that’s as hearty as it is comforting. The café is not just a feast for the palate but also a treat for the eyes, with a lovely backyard that offers a serene escape from the bustling city.

The menu is a celebration of simple yet rich flavors, starting with their standout breakfast offerings. Imagine two perfectly scrambled eggs on toasted sourdough, accompanied by the delightful crunch of fresh toppings like smoked salmon and cream cheese — a dish that’s both nourishing and utterly delicious. And if you’re seeking something a bit lighter, the Super Green Detox Smoothie is an invigorating choice to kickstart your day.

For lunch, the café offers a variety of club sandwiches that are bound to please, like the Salt Beef with Mustard & Gherkins or the wholesome Chicken, Avocado, Mozzarella & Pesto. Vegetarian options such as their delicious quiches — made with seasonal ingredients — also ensure that everyone can find something delectable. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, embodying the essence of homemade comfort food.

Your experience wouldn’t be complete without indulging in one of their tempting desserts. Customers rave about the homemade cakes, with many recommending the pistachio and rose cake as a must-try — it's a perfect balance of flavor without being overly sweet, leaving you craving just one more bite. And according to local patrons, the famous carrot cake, which was featured at a charity event, is simply unparalleled, receiving rave reviews for its unique taste.

The warmth of the staff adds an extra layer of charm to Indulgence. As noted by regulars, the owner, Farrah, goes above and beyond to make her guests feel special, accommodating dietary needs with a smile. Plus, the café is dog-friendly — bring your furry friend along and enjoy the casual, friendly vibe that the venue radiates.

Indulgence isn't just a café; it's a community hub where conversations flow as easily as the coffee. With a variety of teas each delivering numerous health benefits, it's a perfect spot to unwind and indulge in warmth, both from the meals served and the people who serve them. If you’re in the area, make sure to pop in and experience this lovely gem that so many locals adore.

Lovely Cafe with a cute backyard. Food is quite cheap and good quality. I can recommend the iced coffee & the scrambled eggs with salmon on sourdough bread, which was delicious.

Been to Indulgence a few times. Really chilled and friendly place to stop for brunch. I've had a chicken pesto panini that was delicious, scrambled egg on sourdough toast which was divine. The coffees and herbal teas always made the way I like them, and the owner is always willing to go the extra mile to customise them a little when requested. The cakes!!! Apart from making me put on the pounds (lbs) lol, amazing selection and the one's I've had so far taste just as beautiful as the next. Look forward to trying other things on the menu.

Came across this little gem whilst out on a walk. I'm not familiar with the area so we didn't know where to get a coffee. The venue was clean, and inviting. The staff were really lovely too. The cakes were lively and it was nice to know they are made by local bakers and not commercially sourced. I had the pistachio and rose cake. Huge piece of cake and tasted divine. Not too sweet, nicely flavoured and a bargain price. The lovely lady at the counter mentioned vegan cinnamon buns. She said next time we come to call up to check if we have any. Definitely plan on going back

I tasted a piece of the carrot cake donated to the MacMillan charity event held 29/09/23. It was the best carrot cake I have ever had, a unique taste. 10/10

A lovely dog cafe. My dog loves coming to Indulgence . He is spoilt here. Having said that,so am I! The venue is super clean. The decor adds to the relaxing feel, of the place. The food is well presented as well as delicious, especially the cakes. The teas have alot of health benefits, so definitely a must in the Winter months. Service is very friendly. The Cafe seems to draw alot of friendly people. The court yard is great for the dogs and market stalls. Also the workshops are varied & interesting.

Love the food, its fresh each day, the cakes are out of this world. It's a great place to take the family and its dog friendly which is a bonus too. It's got a nice outside area for dogs and water is provided for them. Farrah is a warm and friendly person makes you feel at home when you walk in. All the staff are very friendly too. Farrah has a lovely little dog very friendly too. He meets and greets you too... With a wagg of his tail. . .. The coffee has a lovely flavour too. They do all different milks which is fantastic when you cant have dairy. Lots a vegetarian snack and meat eaters too. So pop in and see for yourself.... Tina
