Those of you who regularly pass Whitmore Bridge on Hackney’s stretch of Regents Canal may have noticed something new appear on the banks. That might be us; Towpath Cafe, located waterside in the thriving area of Hoxton, London’s east-end. We are a pleasant walk along the canal from either direction, and easily accessible from Kingsland Road, Broadway Market and Islington.

Behind the counter at 'Towpath'

Towpath is the creation of Lori De Mori, an American Italian food writer and fanatic. Towpath Cafe caters for Breaksfast, Brunch, Lunch and Dinner with a variety of home made fayre from in-house chef Laura Jackson, and experienced barista Amanda Thompson making delicious coffees. Behind  the counter you’ll find a friendly, warm and family-like dynamic waiting to serve you with scrumptious treats and fine coffee imported directly from Caffe Piansa, Firenze, Italy.
