e5 Poplar Bakehouse

you're on cotall street, which isn't the part of poplar that anyone photographs, and that's probably fine. e14 has been shifting for years, and this stretch near the old industrial edges of the isle of dogs has quietly accumulated things worth stopping for. e5 poplar bakehouse is one of them. the roastery side of things means you're drinking coffee that's been thought about before it reaches you, not just sourced and forwarded along. locally, people seem to know this already, which is why the place carries a kind of unhurried confidence you don't have to read into very hard. if you're working east of the city or passing through on the dlr, cotall street at mid-morning is a reasonable answer to most problems.
