Fantastic little coffee shop / cafe / space visited here a few times for breakfast and it never disappoints!! Always save space for desert as the in house cakes are to die for!!!
Top quality food nice relaxed atmosphere staff are helpful can't say a bad word about the place will definitely be eating here again ��
Original, eclectic and welcoming. Great coffee, lovely home made cakes and freshly prepared food. Great place!
Warm and friendly staff.
Lovely breakfast and hot drinks x
This place is heavenly. Everything about it, from the staff to the music, the art, the bike sharing, everything is perfect.
Had a great coffee here today before hiring bikes from the lovely guy on the bikestand, for a day out in the Olympic Park. Plenty of sizes and great value. Thank you :)

Lovely quirky venue, best bread pudding! And fantastic salt beef bagels. Just the thing after a long cycle ride.

A magical venue! Gardens, bikes, cafe, containers of art, awesome people and an incredible view! What else could anyone need!?
Most amazing cakes at the cafe. Also relatively cheap. Great atmosphere, fantastic tea cups and furniture.
Great food, quirky, friendly people; a real local treasure. Never change it.
Unexpected bonus on a walk around the Olympic Park. Everything about it is excellent
fantastic food , excellent staff , what more can I say !
Excellent service, superb tea and cake in a relaxed atmosphere.
Good customer service, freindly staff - always a pleasure to return.
It is so relaxing-my daughter and I love this venue.
With an exemplary full English breakfast this place is fast becoming my new favourite local cafe. Lovely views of the Olympic Park from the gorgeous garden and great service add to the experience of this hidden gem.
A friendly, funky place in the dead zone between Hackney and Stratford.
I stopped in at The View Tube for a break in a Saturday afternoon bike ride. It's a yellow structure built from shipping containers, situated on a dead-end path that forks off the Greenway that runs from Wick Ln southeast to the Thames. They have bikes for rent there, and a fair number of people hanging out in both the front and back patio areas.
The menu is pretty standard - light cafe fare, pastries, and coffee. Much of it looked pretty good, but I went with a honeycomb ice cream from Marine Ices. It... wasn't amazing. To be fair, the only other honeycomb ice cream I've had was from the incomparable Ample Hills in Brooklyn, so this was bound to pale in comparison, but basically it was just too sticky sweet and didn't taste much like honey. But that's not really a knock against the place itself.
On the bright side, there was plenty of seating both inside and out, the staff were friendly, and I met a very friendly French Bulldog and chatted with his owners for a few minutes before heading back out on my bike. Overall, the place is a worthwhile stop if you're in the area and need a break and a bite.
Good cafe on the south edge of the Olympic Park. My other half loved the Eggs Florentine and there is an extensive selection of cakes. Prices were normal for London with free water available. Seating indoors and outdoors for all weather conditions. Also offers cycle hire and other bike services.
Came here two times within the last week. Never had better coffee, sandwiches and cake are very good as well. Getting there is a bit tricky, follow the "Greenway" from Old Ford or follow the signs to Bow/Hackney from DLR station Pudding Mill Lane.
Went here at Easter. I'm a bit of an Olympic freak, so I loved this place, with a view of the Olympic Park. How exciting!
Best view of Olympic site (stadium and ArcelorMittal tower) with a decent cafe but can get quite busy so be prepared to wait for service. Worth the trip.
Located on the edge of the Olympic Park, this is a great little spot for a bite to eat and a few drinks before ABBA Voyage (just a short walk away) or an event at the London Stadium…the weather wasn’t great the day we were there but it felt like walking into a little cafe/restaurant on a foreign holiday, really cute no bells and whistles but a great little place…we sat inside but when the weather is good they have an outdoor patio space which looks lovely.
Menu is great and the staff were very friendly and careful to assist with some allergy requirements. We ordered tacos and a burrito and both were delicious. The food was good quality and at a reasonable price.
They have a little condiments counter which also offers tap water in large dispensers that you can help yourself to, this is a nice touch.
All in all really loved this place and will definitely return.

I love this place! The atmosphere is vibrant and is my go to place for a pint. I am yet to try the food but the menu has loads of options. Brilliant music too, embracing the Latin culture.
A really lovely welcoming spot with a recently expanded bar and kitchen serving deliciousness. Pleasant indoors on a couple of floors and a calm outdoor garden to enjoy too. Good prices, great service - why not give it a try?

This is a little gem of a place, especially if you are off to see Abba Voyage. Food was pretty good. We had tacos (not so keen on the dark soft shells), burritos and burgers. Chips were great. Not too expensive. Definitely worth a visit. Lots of lovely looking vegan cakes, didn't have time to try them ☹️
What a great find, although I am not a vegan, I joined my daughter to eat the vegan tacos and they were absolutely superb. Also had smoothie which was equally good. Service was excellent and presented with a smile. Great place to chill and look back at London while waiting for ABBA.
Absolutely fantastic experience.
I've been popping in here regularly for a few years, and recently decide to use them to host a 60x person event. The team were absolutely amazing! Not only was all the food perfect even when cooking for 60x but the service was impeccable and the team that helped us (Wendell and Alex) were amazing. I highly recommend the View Tube!
P.S. Try the Cuban sandwiches! WOW
Excellent food and drink!
They're able to produce a variety of options that are gluten-free, which is delicious. They also offer a variety of drinks, including Jarritos Mexican cola. You can eat inside or outside in the garden (outside you'll get a beeper to tell you when your food is ready).
The atmosphere is fantastic. It can vary between nice and chill and bustling which is great depending on your mood.
** review update **
I’ve now been going to View Tube for over 2 years and I am hooked on their spicy pork cubanos and tacos. Additionally they have Banging burritos!! 🌯 Possibly the best burrito I’ve ever had!! 😋😋
Fantastic food, coffee, drinks selection (incl. beers & cocktails). Great service. Friendly staff and a fabulous hide away location. It just looks like a trendy shipping container from the front, but a glorious garden out the back with plenty of picnic tables in the sun & shaded. I almost don’t want to leave a review in case it gets too popular and then I can’t get a table 😆
This is also a dog friendly cafe. Serving burritos & tacos from 9am!!! 😁😁
This place was fantastic. We were so glad to find somewhere to eat and sit and warm, after getting to ABBA arena and discovering there was nothing there apart from arena. But this was a gem. The food was fabulous, Atmosphere, and friendly and very well priced. Wish it was in my town! Would be there every week!
Amazing place, shout out to Brenda and Veronica: legends! Super food and drinks. Brenda is my favourite bartender ever ❤️
