We at Pophams are a team of artisan bakers and baristas with one philosophy: produce the best pastries and coffee across London.

Located just by London Fields, our Hackney site has become a popular location for the area. We have an excellent community of regulars and local customers who love coming in for their caffeine and pastry fix.

Pophams Hackney is the central hub of the company - it is where all our pastries and bread are prepared and baked. We also have a pasta restaurant that operates in the evening (with a separate manager and team); this makes it an incredibly busy and bustling site 7 days a week.
