Fiesta Cafe

still talking about roman road, good. bow gets overlooked in the specialty conversation, which works in your favour if you know where to look. fiesta cafe sits on wolf court just off the 546 stretch, a part of e3 that moves at its own pace, market days included. what you get here is a locally rooted shop that people in the area return to, not because there's nowhere else, but because this one holds up. no grand gestures, no overexplaining. the kind of place that takes the coffee seriously without making a performance of it. if you're coming from victoria park or cutting through from mile end, it's worth timing your visit around a flat white mid-morning, when roman road is properly awake but not yet loud.
