Counter Café is a gem. It sits on the
side of the Hertford Union Canal in Hackney and is great for eating outdoors on
a nice day. They make brilliant pies and stock Crate beer from the brewery just around
the corner. There’s an art gallery attached which is worth a look too.
It’s a
nice walk if you go to Pudding Mill Lane DLR station, and walk down the
Greenway and the canal to it. It’s worth stopping in at Moka East en route. Moka East is at View Tube, which gave people views out
over the velodrome and park during the Olympics. Right now, it’s a bit of a
building site because there’s a lot of work going on in the park. But it’s
still cool to visit.
Last time I went was with a great little group of bloggers
(London On The Inside, The Arburturian, Lady Loves Cake) and East Village.
We had a coffee and Moka East’s homemade mini doughnuts. Warm and fluffy, they’re
super-moreish. The fresh lemon zest in there gives them a zingy kick. And who’ll
ever tire of the childhood challenge of trying to eat one without licking your
sugary lips? Not this sugary-lipped tour guide that’s for certain.
