During an unplanned exploration of Hackney Wick, I had half an hour to burn, the yellow bright sign of Bad Coffee was just too hard to resist, the industrial motif of the sign match perfectly the interior, the spartan and minimalistic décor, with a towering giant industrial coffee toaster in the middle of the cafe' is interrupted only by the dreamy Chesterfield sofa (But there is also a desk with chairs for you Always Online people) .

I'm definitely coming back here next year for #londonseries2026! Edit; I found out that the baseball is not coming back in 2026, but I'll still go back to bad coffee next time in...
