This is one of our favourite brunch places! It's a 20-min walk, but you will be in the hart of Brick Lane. The coffee is great, and the eggs Benedict are one of the best – add a hash brown if you think it's not enough.

This is a classic East London brunch place. Every item on the menu has a twist, which can make it a bit pretentious, but the food is delicious! The coffee is very good and we would recommend the eggs Benedict (the muffin is replaced by a bubble 'n' squeak cake – potato cake). It gets busy on a weekend after 12pm.
