A little bit of France on Chatsworth Road.
The Barrel Boulangerie is a warm, family-run cafe and bakery just off Homerton High Street. The counter fills each morning with croissants, pain au chocolat, cinnamon rolls and fresh loaves, and the kitchen keeps going all day with brunch, sandwiches, soups and salads.
Reviewers keep coming back for the same things: food that tastes genuinely fresh, freshly squeezed juices and smoothies, and a calm, welcoming room that is happy for you to settle in with a laptop and a coffee.

What people say
Loved on Chatsworth Road
A gem for brunch lovers. Fresh ingredients, tasty dishes and a calm, welcoming environment. The fresh orange juice was absolutely amazing and the chicken omelette perfectly cooked.
This place has the best breakfast in the area. Unbelievably good, food tastes so fresh and fulfilling. On top of that the service is very friendly and welcoming.
A really lovely granola bowl sat outside, and my friend had a delicious iced latte. Lovely service with a smile from Sarah, thank you for brightening up our day. A lovely cafe.
Lovely cafe on Chatsworth Road, just off Homerton High Street. They had me at fresh fruit juices, and there is a whole ice-cream fridge with a variety. So many baked bits to choose from. I will be back.
The cafe
Settle in and stay a while.
Teal velvet banquettes, warm wood, gold chandeliers and a Moroccan-tiled counter make a room that is easy to linger in. Grab a window seat with a croissant and a coffee, meet a friend for brunch, or bring your laptop and work the morning away.
