The Space

A Proper Cafe-Bar In East London

We are at 503 Hackney Road, London E2 9ED, right between Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath. The building is a former Victorian brewery with high ceilings, exposed brick, a skylit winter garden and a covered courtyard terrace.

It is a nice place to sit with a laptop, meet someone for coffee, or come for drinks after work. Free wifi, plenty of plug sockets, and a good atmosphere all day.

Dogs are welcome. You do not need to book. Just walk in.

Some of you might remember us as the Hackney Coffee Company. We started as a speciality coffee house, and good coffee is still at the heart of what we do. The space has grown since then, but the coffee has not changed.
