CALLING ALL HACKNEY LAPTOP COFFEE SHOP TECH BROS — put down your overpriced laté and go check this place out!! It’s super friendly, has a view of the park, great coffee, food, internet, record player, and it’s warm and comfortable. And you’re funding a great local cause. Totally underrated!

The staff were attentive, friendly & welcoming. We were having a meeting with 9 people and the staff adapted very well with us as a group with chairs & tables pushed together. We will use this cafe again.

Superb, warm service and finally cafe that serves a flavoursome side salad!! The refreshing air-con also didn't go a miss on these very hot days. Loving the work of Tower Project
