I only found out about this place recently as I think it is quite new. All I can say is wow! My friend and I both had the set menu cooked breakfasts. All the ingredients like the Cumberland sausage poached eggs and the bacon were all lovely and you can tell they have used the top quality ingredients even the toast was proper quality sourdough. This cafe has only been open a short time but it's definitely the best in East London. And I need you forgot to mention the curly fries this is one of the only places I know that does them and they were perfect so crispy and tasty. The only thing that was probably better than the food was the service. Our waitress Gigi was so welcoming friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back here. Thankyou!

I had the most incredible chai latte at Avenue in Tower Hamlets. The balance of spices was spot on – warming, aromatic, and perfectly blended without being too sweet. The frothy texture made it feel indulgent, yet still light and comforting. You can tell it’s made with care and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere at Avenue is just as inviting as the drink itself – relaxed, stylish, and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot to sit with a book, catch up with friends, or take a little break from the day. If you’re in Tower Hamlets and love chai, I can’t recommend Avenue enough. This chai latte is easily one of the best I’ve had in London.

Very nice cafe located with-in 5 mins walking distance of Victoria park, food nice and good sized portions, relaxed and chilled atmosphere this time, last time the younger gentleman serving was a bit OTT with the way he spoke to the young blonde lady multiple times, when she was trying to help, he seemed overly stressed, made last visit and atmosphere uncomfortable,which was highlighted, no issues this time. will visit again, also dog friendly

Such a lovely café with a big variety of food and drinks. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Honestly, the coffee was the best I’ve ever had in my life and the food was absolutely delicious. Special thanks to the waitress Mariа — she was super friendly, made some great jokes and made the visit even better!

Beautiful new place really loved the interior designs nice and cozy, the food was excellent quality and came nice and warm freshly made. Loved the atmosphere the staff were very friendly. I really recommend this place, family friendly and easy access to busses near by a short walk away from Victoria park. Nice and clean very good hygiene. Easy to access door eat wheelchair friendly. I will be going there again! They also made the food just the way I wanted it and I was able to replace tomatoes with something else as I'm allergic to tomatoes. Thanks to the lovely staff she was so friendly and she listened well for my order. The till guy was also funny and friendly. They also have cakes and dessert the menu is so nice and the prices are affordable. Make a day out with the family you will really enjoy this place. The music was also nice not too loud not too quiet just right. Overall wonderful experience.
