A bit of a hidden treasure, in the Spring & Summer this is a lovely area for walks. Do a big loop along the River Lea towpath, Canal towpaths, Victoria Park & even the Olympic Park for a lovely walk.

Love love love this place! Friendly staff, very reasonably priced food for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even an early light evening meal (pizza, etc). Wonderful cakes and pastries. Not the best coffee in the world but passable, and worth it for the food and atmosphere.

So I've never actually shopped or eaten there myself but everyone raves about it! (vegans and veggies do! I am sure it is great for everyone). A nice little walk away, and you can enjoy walking through Hackney Down on the way, with the wonderful mosaics (see if you can find the awesome massive freize of animals...) and a little mini orchard on the way.
