Described as London’s best kept secret, The Counter Cafe serves up delicious food and coffee in a unique location. Housed inside a spacious art gallery complete with lovely brickwork, a canal runs alongside the seating area. It offers the best view I’ve yet experienced of the Olympic Stadium, literally opposite, but no so close as to be intrusive. The veggie breakfast was high quality. Tucked away in Hackney Wick, you’ll feel pleased to have made the effort to find it. It also runs events such as quiz and open mic nights.
