Simmos Coffee

You're in Fish Island now — that scrappy bit of E3 where the Lea bends and proper things are still happening away from the Instagram crowd. Simmos sits in Skippers Yard, a converted warehouse space that feels like the real East London, not the themed version. Walk in and you'll clock immediately that the people behind the counter actually care about what's in your cup. The espresso is the thing here: they're serious about sourcing, dialling in, and pulling shots that taste like someone's thought about them properly. It's not fussy or performative — just consistently excellent coffee in a space that's comfortable without trying too hard.
