Tucked into an apartment block it is tiny inside, most of the seating is outside and we happened to come at the perfect time at 3pm to get a table in the fleeting sunlight. Apparently its super busy over lunch and mid morning so either get up early or mid afternoon The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed and a great place to slowly sip at your coffee in the sunshine The coffee was good, the food simple but delicious. I just had eggs on toast and they eggs were cooked perfectly!

The cafe is another mile. Not too big a place but even on a Saturday, the queue was 10 15 minutes for canal side picnic benches. Brunch menu, including a very tasty tomato masala dal. The canal itself is rather murky, it must be said. Still, unique place, worth the effort to find. Walk a few hundred yds east to Kingsland Rd for bus to London Bridge.

Then the most arrogant waiter comes over and says you cannot sit here,.. I explained we invited … his response I’m in charge of these tables, not them, you have to move. Nice!!! No matter how good the food may be as a little charming oasis in very tatty part of east London, the staff are not EAst Enders, their superior attitude probably is better off in the shires! If you want nice food AND nice service, and be served by nice people, I suggest swerve this place.

The staff was friendly and attentive, despite the slight delay in service due to the busy atmosphere. The cozy, rustic ambiance and peaceful canal-side setting added to the overall experience. This was my first time dining at Towpath Cafe, but it certainly won't be my last. I urge others not to be discouraged by any negative reviews.
