Joe Blake's Stratford

Speciality coffee and artisan bakes — all crafted in the heart of East London — are the order of the day at this independent bakehouse, found on the lower ground floor of the Great Eastern Mall in Westfield Stratford City. Hours run a generous 8.30am to 9pm on weekdays, making it a handy pitstop for Olympic Park and Stratford wanderers, and a 4.4 rating from 520 reviews suggests plenty of people have taken it to heart.
