Where it all began
Set just a minute from Dalston Junction, our flagship cafe has been serving Mediterranean food made fresh daily since 2013. The first Cafe Route, and still the heart of the family.
Salads, seasonal plates and proper coffee, with vegetarian and vegan options always on the counter. Honest ingredients in a setting built for slow mornings and unhurried lunches.
