C hi★★★★★

Love this place! Went for lunch which was delightful. Had the vegan breakfast which was amazing. They have smoothies, cocktails and fresh drinks. It gets busy but worth the wait. Located on the canal it is delightful and probably amazing at sunset. Staff are friendly and service is fast. They have seating outside , right by the water. I would definitely go back.

Unreal lemonade. So good. Wish it wasn’t £6 tho. Would buy again on another hot day like today.

Seven minutes walk by the canal from Angel station, you'll find Canal No 5 Cafe. Located next to the canal lock and a small community of narrow houseboats, we found a cozy spot in the sun and enjoyed our breakfast. I had the full English breakfast, our son avocado/bacon toast and my wife Eggs Royale. We waited about 20 minutes, but the view is amazing and just watching people walking by is worth the wait. Let my be honest. I've had better full English breakfasts than this, but the atmosphere is worth every penny (and the coffee FANTASTIC). Besides breakfast, they are a variety of burgers,

Amanda★★★★★

AMAZING food, view, and atmosphere. I had the cod lunch meal deal and was beautifully seasoned, some of the best food I’ve had in London. With generous portion of peri peri chips and salad. Great value for price of £13.95 Nice view of the lock with boats coming through, even saw a swan family passing by :) 100% would come back.
