Hiding away deep in the guts of Hackney is small refuge of cafeterias and coffee shops in Clapton, E5.
The whole vibe centers on Chatsworth Road, E5, with its colourful, sophisticated feel, and trendy young things drinking coffee while surfing on their Macs.
Cakey Muto is perhaps the pick of the coffee shop E5 pile. Just north of Homerton Surgery in the middle of the Chatsworth Road sunday market bustle, Cakey Muto is really a coffee bar to be sampled and savoured.
Serving Monmouth Coffee's organic, fair trade coffee - as well as a full authorized bar for tougher souls - Cakey Muto brilliantly captures the E5 cafeteria quintessence.
The licensed bar sells a complete range of lagers and spirits, and wines sourced from Jascot's glorious range of affordable, and eminently quaffable, bottles.
Eclectic, resourceful, fun. And with a jukebox to die for: doubtless the best set of discs in London.
While you are enjoying your organic coffee, and surfing the internet beyond Clapton (or maybe just surfing the sights on Chatsworth Road outside), you should try a slab of Cakey Muto's home-made cakes.
Glaringly, with a name like Cakey Muto, it's fair to expect that the coffee (or lager) should be washing down something toothsome and moderately calorific. The cakes and other confections are all made in their very own E5 coffee bar kitchen, and are all divine.
And, for those nutty souls who like savoury to sweet, you will be thrilled to know that Mr Hair's Pies are baking here... As well as oven prepared quiche and delicious sandwiches.
What more is it necessary to know? Chatsworth Road, Clapton, E5 is home to the coolest cafes in East London, and Cakey Muto is maybe the best cafeteria of all.
Great coffee, great cake, licensed bar, amazing setting, chilled vibe, awesome jukebox.
Tell them I sent you!
