A few steps from trendy Hackney runs Regent’s Canal. It’s where you will find Towpath Cafe, an unmissable cafe made up of several stands directly on the canal. The ideal spot for a gourmet break with friends after a trip to Broadway Market on a Saturday morning.

With deliciously vintage deco and mismatched ceramics, you’ll feel like you are in a retro diner. Put another way: everything is freshly made each day, lovingly made in the charming kitchen shack. The result? A seasonal menu on the chalkboard with items crossed out as the day progresses.

But you'd better climb out of bed early if you want to have the chance to taste the sublime housemade granola or the tartines with fresh feta!

We also love: this is a perfect place to chase away the Sunday night blues. With a late night aperitif on the banks of Regent’s Canal, every Sunday night is animated with regulars who prolong the weekend with music!

Count on £6.50 for a savory tartine or scrambled eggs, £5.50 for granola.

Open Tuesday and Wednesday from 8am to 8pm, Thursday and Friday from 8am to 9pm and the weekend, 9am to 11am.
