This Hackney café may seem out of the way, but perhaps that is what has made it consistently deliver from the excellent menu of seasonal international food to the Square Mile coffee. They source produce as locally as possible, with meat from The Rare Breed Meat Company and craft beer from London-based Camden Town Lager and The Kernal Pale Ale. You can expect anything from Vietnamese sandwich with spiced pork and pickled vegetables to lamb, pistachio and orange blossom kofte with beetroot borani. The space is cosy and relaxed with old school chairs huddled around tables, art on the walls and books for sale on the shelves with occasional live events in the basement room.
