Desserts & cocktails in Chingford. No occasion needed.
Sometimes you don’t want a full meal. You just want something good.
Casa isn’t just a sit-down-for-three-courses kind of place. Drop in after dinner somewhere else. Come in mid-afternoon because you fancy a proper cocktail and something sweet. Bring someone for a catch-up that doesn’t need a whole meal behind it. We’re open and the bar is running — that’s reason enough.
The dessert menu is made in-house. The cocktails are built properly. The coffee is speciality. Whatever you’re after, there’s something here worth sitting down for.
94 Station Road, Chingford. Two minutes from the station.
The dessert menu
These aren’t the desserts that sit in a fridge all day waiting to be pointed at. They’re made here, by people who care whether they taste right.
The French toast is the one. Honey butter, caramelised hazelnuts, grilled banana, salted caramel, honeycomb gelato. It’s technically on the brunch menu but nobody’s stopping you ordering it at 4pm. The bread pudding is croissant and brioche — not stale sliced bread — with raisins, pecan nuts, lemon zest, custard, and vanilla ice cream. The giant profiterole is a proper choux bun with crème pâtissière mousse and dark chocolate ganache.
The Basque cheesecake is burnt on purpose — that’s how it should be. Served with mixed nuts and berry compote. The lemon tart is shortcrust with a tangy curd, served warm. Pecan pie with vanilla gelato. And Mum’s Cake — ask the board what it is today, it changes, and it’s always worth it.
Milky pancakes if you want something to share — Nutella and banana, or whipped cream and berries, or bacon and maple butter if you’re still not sure whether you’re in sweet or savoury territory. No judgement.
There’s also a cheese board — mature cheddar, French brie, red Leicester, blue stilton, grapes, and crackers. Because sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
Cocktails, coffee & everything else
The cocktail list at Casa is the kind you actually read rather than just defaulting to whatever you always order.
The espresso martini is made with real espresso — not a syrup shortcut. The spicy margarita has actual chilli in it. The Paloma is tequila, strawberry, lime, and grapefruit soda, and it’s the one that keeps getting reordered. French martini with Chambord and pineapple. Porn Star with proper passionfruit and a prosecco shot on the side. Amaretto Sour with egg white done right.
Not drinking? The mocktail coolers are built with the same care — basil cooler, raspberry fizz, strawberry no’jito, cucumber cooler. They’re drinks, not afterthoughts. The smoothies are proper blended fruit, not concentrated. And the speciality coffee — flat white, cortado, matcha latte with collagen, iced latte — is the real reason a lot of regulars come in mid-morning before the menu even matters.
Wine and prosecco by the glass too, if that’s where the evening is head

Come in. Book a spot. Or just turn up.
You don’t need a reason to come to Casa. But if you’ve got one — a birthday, an anniversary, a group that just needs somewhere decent to land — book a table and we’ll make sure it’s sorted.
Sunday to Thursday we’re open until 5pm. Fridays and Saturdays the bar stays open until 10pm — which is when the cocktails really come into their own. Walk-ins welcome whenever there’s space.
