Rebel Coffee

About Rebel Coffee

Rebel Coffee on Wood Street is owner Alice's love letter to Walthamstow, a pint-sized gluten-free haven where school kids wave hello on their way past and strangers chat from the window seat. Everything from the white chocolate and almond cookie to the blood orange and chocolate cake is coeliac-safe, with baked goods priced remarkably low for the quality. Alice — from a long line of Italian coffee roasters — pulls excellent coffee and whips up frittata with considerable ability. There's outdoor seating when the few indoor spots fill up, plus dog treats at the counter and aperitifs on the last Friday of each month. Buggy-friendly, reviewers describe it as genuinely welcoming, the kind of place where parents linger over an oat flat white while toddlers make friends with the neighbourhood pup. Come for the coffee, stay for the Wood Street community Alice has built around it.
