Pangea Cafe

A proper East London gem. Great coffee, and more food options each time I go there. Makes a top quality toastie. The atmosphere is what makes this place though. High ceiling, hardwood flooring, great music played all day, art by local painters on the wall. You can tell that this is a passion project for its Aussie owner - evidenced by the fact he keeps his sweet little dog around (if you're lucky you'll see him curled up on a seat in the sun (the dog, not the owner)). Perfect spot for a pre-work pick-me-up or a long black and an afternoon snack overlooking Commercial Street.
