This all-in-one cafe and event space likes to keep things open in regards to its vibrant event lineups and diverse clientele. True to its name, this is one of the best places in Dalston to meet up for a piece of their home made cake, or for a simple midday meal, and be able to discuss your most pressing creative business. Be sure to make a visit after-hours as well, as their basement space hosts the kinds of performances that could only be held by an arts cafe with such global reach, yet local character. This is truly East London’s most powerful lunch.
