The café by the pond in Victoria Park does a next-level soft serve in the summer and excellent cardamom buns year-round. There's also a bakery on Broadway Market brimming with jars of house kimchi and pickles. And another coffee spot on Columbia Road – always a delightful pit stop.

Overlooking Regent’s Canal near London Fields, this is one of the coolest supper spots in the city. Chef Max Rocha (brother of designer Simone) cooks up sage and anchovy fritti followed by a decadent onglet in peppercorn sauce. The Guinness bread is as good as it’s said to be and you’re bound to see someone interesting here. Great people- watching, but an even better menu.

Magnificent croissants and heavenly pistachio and raspberry delights are served in Yeast Bakery. A chic option for Prosecco and brunch or a triumphant coffee and sweet treat run after lunch, you chose!

Paul and Jordan felt the need to bring New York-style bagels to London in 2017 so they did.

Head East during a weekend morning and savor their freshly hand-rolled variety for brunch!
