The Milk Tree

Equal parts brunch spot and confectionery, this Canning Town address serves breakfast and lunch alongside its cakes and sweets, opening at 7.30am and carrying on until 8pm most days. Dog-friendly outdoor seating and a wheelchair-accessible entrance make it easy to settle in, and a 4.5-star rating from more than 800 reviews is hard to argue with. For the days you can't make it to Barking Road, takeaway and delivery are on the cards too.
