Mowchi Mile End

Matcha, bubble tea and Asian fusion share the menu at this east London tea house, where cosy, minimalist interiors take their cue from East Asia's street food culture. Unusually for a tea spot, the doors stay open until 9pm every day of the week — as well suited to an evening catch-up as a mid-morning brew — with outdoor seating, takeaway and delivery all on offer. A 4.6 rating from 647 reviewers suggests the locals have well and truly taken it to heart.
