Opened in autumn 2010 Railroad is soon becoming a new community hang out for the local coffee lovers of Hackney. Opened by Matt (previously at Wilton's) Railroad excels at fabulous coffees (served in hand-made mugs by Matt's mum) and tarts and cakes baked on site.

When visiting in the evenings you might encounter some home-made food, live music and a range of exotic beers.

Check out their reading list and small bookexchange/shop. Very good selection.

Closed on Tuesdays
