Arches Cafe is a family run British cafe in the railway arches at 202 Three Colts Lane, Bethnal Green. Its straightforward dining room and early opening make it a dependable choice for breakfast, brunch or lunch, with each order prepared freshly and generous portions at the centre of the experience.
The full English breakfast combines egg, bacon, Cumberland sausage, mushrooms, grilled tomato, beans and thick toast. Smaller set breakfasts let diners choose familiar combinations, while black pudding, hash browns, bubble and squeak and American style pancakes expand the morning selection.
Omelettes, jacket potatoes, sandwiches, rolls and baguettes cover lighter lunches as well as substantial meals. Fillings range from bacon, sausage, egg and cheese to pastrami, chilli and vegetarian choices, with bread baked daily and hot items cooked when the order is placed.
Burgers, grilled dishes, pitta wraps, chips and salads provide alternatives for diners arriving later in the day. Fresh coffee, tea, orange juice and cold drinks complete a classic cafe meal, while takeaway and delivery make the same broad menu convenient for nearby homes and workplaces.
