I came here to do homework, however there was no WiFi available! It did not end up being a problem because I had a book to read, but keep that in mind if you are planning to use the internet. Staff was friendly, pricing was similar to any other coffee shop, and the quality was fantastic! The covered outdoor seating area in the back added to my experience immensely, but there are also both upstairs and downstairs seating inside. I would consider this a very instagrammable spot that is great for a date, homework, or catching up with friends!

I stumbled across this place with friends on a Sunday afternoon and was pleased to see like some it didn't shut at 4pm. The shop is charming, but very small with seating for only a few. However the shop has a little garden area with ample seating, an awning covering the area and infrared heaters. It was so cosy (even on a cold and wet day) that we stayed there for a good few hours and enjoyed more than one drink! An excellent little place to meet for coffee with friends.

I was thrilled when an early morning surprise consisted of going to Billingsgate Fish Market! You…read moremay not believe me, but I was thrilled, it is true. And my first visit to Piggy's Cafe made the trip even more enjoyable and rewarding. After perusing through the wonders of the fish market, stopping off in Piggy's Cafe seemed like the right thing to do.We'd compared, we'd (tried to) haggle, and now we just fancied a sit down before heading home and going back to bed again - we'd left the house at 4:30am. We both knew what we wanted, and seeing as we were surrounded by thousands of fresh fish goods, we were certainly going to order fish in here. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Creamcheese bagel (£3.00) and Joe ordered the Scallop and Bacon Bagel (£3.50). We could have ordered a lovely cuppa, but didn't want any caffeine effecting our sleep we knew we would be having in a few hours. You order at the kitchen, and then wait for your food at the table you've chosen to sit at. The buzz and the atmosphere in this place is mesmerising; I found myself looking at every detail of this cafe and loving it all! The customers, the staff, the food, the drink, the noises - it was great! It was amusing to see 2 Weetabix in milk being served to an elderly fish seller, especially after being in the microwave. Just how my mum used to make it for me! There was also a gentleman eating sliced banana on toast! I've never seen that outside of a home, and would never expect it to be served in a cafe. Piggy's, you continue to impress me! Our food came quick enough, and boy was it tasty! My smoked salmon did taste fresh, and it was fishy too, in a good way obviously! I knew the bagel wouldn't be as delicious as those from Brick Lane, but it was surprisingly firm and doughy either way. Joe's Scallop and Bacon Bagel was greasy but good! Salty but good too! Check out my pictures. Other things on the menu, that we glanced at, were the Haddock Breakfast, your classic Smoked Salmon & Scrambled Eggs, and then the Scallop Melt. I think I saw someone with this Scallop Melt, and it involved cheese and scallops, and maybe some scrambled eggs and bacon mixed in there too, yum! Overall, Piggy's Cafe is a number one joint to visit. I'm sure their fry ups are delicious, and I would love to go back to try something else on their menu. I'd dip, sip and tip at this fishy (in a good way!) joint! Menu not available online, but their telephone number is: 0207 987 1068

It's an unusually Sunny Saturday morning in London. Rays of sun beat against the Limehouse DLR…read morestation illuminating each brown-red brick forming this normally dull station. Optimizing the amount of sun-soakage, I wait for the next train to Bank at the far west end of the platform. I pensively gaze over the central London horizon conjuring up ideas of what to do and where to eat when I realize the sun flooding my sight sensors. As I gaze down to take a slight relief from the sun, I see what appears to be one of those circular Mongolian huts... what do they call them again? Ah yes, YURTS! Images of a three family nomadic Mongolian tribe taking settlement along the Limehouse DLR station began to fill my mind when I was suddenly disrupted by the fast approaching bright red train to Bank. I entered the train and as the doors closed, like a curious child, I lightly smudged my face on the bacteria infested window in order to get a better look at these yurts as the train headed for Shadwell. "I'll be back"... I thought to myself as the Mongolian settlement quickly was swallowed into the East London horizon.... Sunday morning - again unusually sunny indicating an imminent and appropriate Sunday Funday! Parched for a cup of freshly made coffee, I head over to the Limehouse java-godsend called Husk. But wait... closed?!! How can a hipster cafe be closed on a Sunday?? Where else in Limehouse is it possible get large dosages of quality caffeine? With a lack of caffeine and shattered expectations, my shaking fingers tremble as they look for a close by options. "Limehouse coffee" I searched for. And the result? Yurt Cafe Huh..... To my surprise, these Mongolian settlers I visually discovered just the day before have somehow created a cafe?? What would it be like? Will I be sitting on furs of random animals munching on yak meat? Without further ado, or thought, I crossed the congested river of cars otherwise known as Commercial Road, waded under the Limehouse DLR station and low and behold, a small insignificant sign.... (--- Yurt Cafe Surely this was an act of the coffee gods. As I walk to the settlement grounds, I see a group of brightly coloured anime hair youngsters seated outside around an old rickety wooden table smoking, soaking up the Sunday sun, and drinking what smelled to be amazing coffee. My curiosity (and feet) quickly led me to the main attraction: the yurt! This circular nomadic looking tent surprisingly housed an assortment of mismatched wooden tables, seats cushions, random persian carpets, flowers and an amazing ceiling letting in a thick ray of light so obvious, you could almost hug it like a tree. Without thinking, I ordered a coffee from the cheerful non-mongolian staff along with a slice of carrot cake and another gluttonous unnecessary slice of banana toffee cake. As I inserted my debit card into the machine, I noticed a sign to my right... "Relaxation Room" Hummmm.... After inquiring the smiling Yurt staff, it looks like the room is for anyone who would like quiet time. Whether that be in the form of meditation, yoga, or just sitting and contemplating a range of things from the meaning of life to absolutely nothing. I sat down on some pillows near a small yurt window loving every second of this unusual but welcoming caffeine oasis in the heart of Limehouse. In an almost cafe-barren Limehouse, I am not able to express my level of content that this circular tent exists and that I can walk here each weekend to sip on their wonderfully brewed black java liquid while munching on great snacks and not to forget weekend brunches until 4pm! Mongolian tribe or not, it is with a big smile and happy stomach, that I welcome this fine new addition to the Limehouse neighbourhood!

I also had the Scottish Smoked Salmon sandwich which also has soft cheese. It was not only delicious, but it was one of the best sandwiches I have had in such a long time.

I recommend this to anyone, especially people who are studying abroad as they give discounts to students with a student discount card. They also have their own Costa Club card that gives a bit of a discount, although there may be an issue where you will need a local number or an international number with an international plan in order to register it-the same appears to ring true regarding postal zip codes, if you are traveling internationally. Still, it is an amazing place and like I said, I recommend it to anyone and everyone!
