Broadway market is bursting with cafes, but Climpson & Sons is widely acknowledged as one of the greats. Restaurants around the neighbourhood will boast of stocking Climpson coffee. This is where 'hipster Hackney' come for their coffee, and you'll get the fashion types, tattooed foodies, the fixie-riding laptop wielding cool crowd all queuing for the serious coffee. They also stock flaky pastries, warming porridge and other breakfast and lunch munchies.
Sometimes service can be a little slow, some of the baristas adopting a studied nonchalance, but who's in a hurry? Sit at the counter, or get one of the pavement pews and watch the Broadway Market show reel.
