There’s no denying that Clapton is in the throes of gentrification, and with an organic deli, creperie, British bistro and thriving street market amongst its offerings, Chatsworth Road is the veritable epicentre of the reinvention.

Having stocked up on organic vegetables and general bric-a-brac from the market, a raft of well-to-do families and young creative types had made their way down to Cooper and Wolf on our Sunday visit. Perusing the weekend papers, sipping on coffees made with single estate beans from small batch roastery Caravan and tucking into Swedish-inspired food – the second-hand tables were packed.

A colourful open sourdough sandwich topped with beetroot salad and a generous pile of cold meatballs proved a satisfying dish. Our veggie choice (of which there are many) was less compelling. Their Swedish pytt-i-panna consists of fried bacon and potato cubes with an egg on top – the veggie one is the same, but with the pork omitted. At £7 for some under-seasoned potato with an egg on top, it seemed a little steep.

Cooper and Wolf does however makes a welcome addition to an already thriving food destination, and may just bring Clapton that step closer to an aspirational family neighbourhood.

I have been to this café several times and noted a rapid change in cliental. This is fast becoming a haunt for Mumsnet types gatherings, and laptop zombies. Which can be at times rather painful if you want to just read a paper and savour the excellent coffee and have a bit of me time. If you don't mind screaming kids running up and down the place, then this is the place. The food is limited for vegetarians and clearly bit on the pricey side for the local Hackney dwellers despite all the very Hackneyesque, PC images on the wall, not the most encompassing of places, unless you have a 4x4 pram.....

fantastic food, great service, a gem in hackney. Coffee a highlight, raraka with fresh salmon is a must try, great to support local independants with a vision.

Go here all the time, really nice to have something good locally. Food is Swedish inspired which is a nice change to the normal standard sandwiches and is consistently good. It's all really fresh and home cooked and with lots of salads so also healthy. It's always really busy so sometimes difficult to get a table but it's worth the wait.

Decent coffee. Extremely pretentious food using IKEA bread & products. Very poor standards on breakfasts. A bit messy with staff obviously lacking any experience. A long way down! I am afraid so.
