Drupe Cafe • Broadway Market

You'll find yourself on Broadway Market on a Saturday morning surrounded by the neighbourhood's young professionals and creative types, all orbiting Drupe like it owes them money. This is proper local territory—the kind of place where regulars know their usual order and the staff actually remember your name after two visits. The brunch menu does what it promises without pretension: standout avocado toast, proper coffee that doesn't taste like it's been sitting under a heat lamp, and the sort of pastries that make you question why you bother with chain cafes. It gets rammed, especially weekends, but the buzzy energy is part of why you're here—this is where Hackney comes to start its day.
