Cafe at the View Tube in Newham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Really great food very friendly people & good service. Doesn't look very inviting from the outside, but don't judge the book by its cover !!

I love this place! The atmosphere is vibrant and is my go to place for a pint. I am yet to try the food but the menu has loads of options. Brilliant music too, embracing the Latin culture.

Good for a Sunday morning coffee...

Had brunch here. Ordered a burrito breakfast - delicious! Washed down with a Reggaeton juice - divine! Chilled atmosphere, great decor and nice service. Highly recommended.

Fabulous venue and extremely helpful and friendly staff. We went as a work group of 30 after a meeting at UCL East. Great food, drinks and superb service.

I did not have a nice experience. I ordered a vegan breakfast and instead I got a burrito with cheese, eggs and bacon. When I came to the counter to return the order, I asked for the vegan breakfast again. I got a vegan burrito. I was already very hungry, so I took the burrito. The presentation of the food was terrible and it was not tasty.

This place is fantastic! The food is absolutely amazing, and the staff is incredibly friendly.

Place looked cute, coffee is awful, over £4 for watery coffee and burnt milk Hopefully the food is better

Great food in a great location for Snoozebox and the London Stadium. Westfield restaurants were ridiculously packed. The staff, chef and food were all brilliant!!

Very lively Caribbean style restaurant, good food reasonably priced

Burger was raw in the middle and chips were cold.

Very nice place with a specific atmosphere. Will be coming back for your tacos as I want to try them. This time we had nachos(which were undercooked(!)), beer and smoothie(it tasted so unusual but I loved it). Cool place to hang out with your friends in a summer day. They also have a dj playing very good songs which make you want to dance to them. I was surprised people were not dancing maybe it wasn’t late enough... The staff is very friendly as well. They also have got a hammock there!🥹 and some random toilet seat in the garden which I found absolutely terrific hahaha. Definitely worth visiting! P.S. guys you’ve got too much of a plastic in use there. Is there any way you could maybe replace some of the cups with glasses by any chance?

Friendly welcome, fast service (rushed our food out for us as we needed to be at the Abba show...) and the food (Cuban Classic sandwich and burger) were top quality. A real find.

A perfect hidden gem with great food, pet and kids friendly

The cookies were delicious, the tacos were horrible, the atmosphere was nice. There was a rat running around under the tables in the garden.

Lovely spot for a coffee, snack or light lunch. We had tacos and a bagel, plus a coffee, all for less than £20. And dog friendly too

The best burrito ever plus friendly atmosphere and energetic music. I wouldn't imagine a better place to have brunch😍

Great place, stumbled across it, brilliant!!!

Amazing Music/ vibe I was Shazaming all the music they were playing 😂🤩🤩🤩🤩. The food was tasty and the Chef was really nice to gives us the time to ask her and recommended us with food and drinks, she comes after we finish our lunch to ask us how’s the food . The staff were really nice and helpful, specially the one who served us, unfortunately I forgot to ask her name 💔💔💔. Food was delicious 😋😋, I ordered Roast chicken Tacos, Fries and MERENGUE. All were perfect🫄🫄🫄. Definitely coming again for the food and vibes.

Had a great bacon bagel and banana milkshake

Lovely atmosphere, location and food. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Very good, nice food, and ideal place for ABBA show....

Lovely place on Olympic Park, friendly good food and drinks

This is the only cafe near the ABBA Voyage venue. There was plenty of room when we arrived so easy to get a table (you can sit inside or outside). I had a fishfinger sandwich which was a bit dry and had what I would call ordinary supermarket fishfinger (hence just 3 stars). The San Miguel draught was also not available. The chips were nice and a good choice of mocktails. I also ordered a drink and it didn't come, so I had to chase it (hence 3 stars for service). It does have a nice relaxed vibe.

Came into this quaint restaurant/pub/coffee shop, on our way to watch Abba Voyage.we were served drinks by the most delightful young lady, service was very friendly and prices were extremely affordable. Thoroughly recommend.

We occasionally pop in here with our dog for either a drink, coffee or a meal. We've always sat in the garden at the back. The whole place feels very welcoming. Food is not bad as well. I like their tacos and burger. My partner likes the burrito and it was really packed and heavy.

Fantastic little cafe, lovely food and the garden is great on a sunny day.

We came here late in the afternoon when they were near cleaning up. However, the server was nice and the smoothie I had was delicious. Nice place.

Wonderful food and great service from a very friendly staff. We sat outdoors and it was glorious. Don't miss their "coxinha", it's absolutely fantastic treat!

perfect spot for a sunny friday afternoon. good music and good vibes. the food was excellent.

Nice little cafe to have a drink

Good food and great outdoors space. Tunes are always on point.

Third visit to this little hidden gem. Second time eating here. Fabulous food and ambience. The service is second to none. Highly recommend.

We had a very tasty brunch here on Easter Sunday. Lots of vegetarian and vegan choices. Super friendly staff and very convenient if you are going on to the ABBA Voyage concert. I would definitely recommend and hope to return sometime.

Excellent food, very friendly staff, great value for money, party of 8 before our Abba Voyage experience, best latte coffee, better than Costa

Quaint little spot off the beaten track In-between Hackney wick and Stratford Nice views, good price drinks and a nice little secluded spot to avoid stacks of people.. They also have tubes playing in the background Great spot to meet up with friends

Great Mexican food, best tacos I’ve had in a while

We came tonight, the service was wonderful, what a lovely lady she was, nothing no trouble. I ordered a buritto, my hubby ordered the burger, what a lovely meal it was too. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend.

Absolutely superb, it's a wee gem of a place and the perfect venue to eat and have cocktails before going to the nearby ABBA Voyage.

Very very very expensive. Staff have no idea of what’s happening and when! Got a small chai latte and a soup( from frozen) and cost me £8. No bread or condiments. Not worth it! But staff were nice.

Came here at lunchtime midweek in February, it was fairly quiet. I would certainly agree with all the positive comments on friendliness of the staff and quality of the food. Most negative comments seem to centre on volume of the music - this was not all intrusive during our visit, we did not have to raise our voices in conversation - and prices, which are subjective but I would say are value for money. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. Thank you.

A wonderful little hideaway, superb friendly Staff and delicious food, I highly recommend this Cafe, you will not be disappointed.

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime before the ABBA Voyage show. Very busy so I guess a lot of people had the same idea! Definitely best to book a table in advance. The food was absolutely delicious, all 4 of us had something different and we all loved our choices. The burritos were extremely tasty and stuffed with loads of fresh ingredients. One of our party needed Gluten Free and there was a good option available. Extremely generous portions too, so we didn't need much dinner later!

Good place to bring dogs after walk for hot or cold drinks. Got hot food but not tried it yet. Good size back garden. Mexican/latin food. Staff nice and friendly. Clean

I’ve kept telling people that this place made the best burritos in London. I’ve ordered and eaten there so often. Today I was disappointed. The burrito lacked taste, it was so bland, the nachos were cold and barely had any cheese on them, they were drowning in ketchup though. The milkshake, the cup was only half full. Very disappointed 😭

Needed somewhere near Pudding Mill Lane for a quiet coffee and this was unexpectedly lovely. Great coffee and flapjack, friendly service and relaxed informal atmosphere.

** review update ** I’ve been going to View Tube for over 3 years and was always a massive fan, however recently they’ve made a change to their tacos and spicy pork cubanos… which are a little underwhelming 😕. They used to be the best tacos, burritos and cubanos in London. The tacos are very small soft shell (taste like gluten free) and difficult to eat. You have to use knife and fork, not hands. The meat for tacos, burritos and cubanos is now lacking in flavour/seasoning and spice. I’m very sad as I came here every weekend for years, but the recipe changes make the food average. Aside from the food, it’s decent coffee, good drinks selection (incl. beers & cocktails). Good service. Friendly staff and a fabulous hide away location. It just looks like a trendy shipping container from the front, but a glorious garden out the back with plenty of picnic tables in the sun & shaded. This is also a dog friendly cafe, which is a bonus for me. ** a note to the owner - please return to the hard shell or large soft shell tacos (like my pictures) and put more flavour in the meat 🙏

Fantastic South American food, but also other tasty things. And for a good price.

Great place.love the music and atmosphere.

Had a wonderful hour here drinking and eating. Great atmosphere, very friendly and amazing veggie tacos!

I would highly recommend this place for its great coffee and food. Alex is the best he makes the best Coffee and is in charge, he will make you feel at home. Good place to visit before and after a West Ham United match at home as it just behind the Bobby Moore school.

Not very good…. forgetful service, didn’t even say sorry

Fabulous, friendly place with delicious food and very attentive staff. The place has a great vibe and music and food is very good value for money. It is also pet friendly - me and my friends always bring our dogs and hang out in the garden.

Avoid this place for your safety and if you don't want to give your money to a bad person, please. It calls itself pet friendly and is so friendly that they allow dogs of aggressive breeds in without a muzzle (which is clearly illegal). Result? I was starting lunch, while my dog was tied up under the table sleeping, and another dog without the owner's leash and supervision (a drunk woman who is a frequent customer according to the restaurant, and who was also seating in the restaurant’s garden) went straight to attack my dog on the neck, leaving marks and biting my fingers. The employees were very kind in trying to help, and when they saw that I didn’t eat anything, they offered to remake my meal. Do you think I wanted to stay in a restaurant like this or that I was hungry after this situation? I told them that if they wanted to do something, they could give me my money back. The owner of the restaurant only showed up when I asked for the refund. The owner is probably the rudest person I have ever met. I was clearly in shock and he came to me with a tone clearly not understanding his client was attacked and bitten by a dog in his restaurant. He said "it's not my fault, I don't have to give you your money back". As he didn't show up at first and sent his employees to help during the attack, he said that my dog was off leash.... omg he didn't know anything about the situation. I asked his employee to tell him what happened, but he said "don't try, she can't talk, she works for me". I can understand that he only cares about money and that's why he was so inhumane to treat a customer like that in a situation like this, of course you can imagine what kind of person he is when he told me "I have a lot of money". He has so much money that apart from not providing security measures for his customers, he decided to argue and raise his tone with a customer, who was attacked in his restaurant, for asking for a refund. The police tried to check the CCTV. This restaurant does not cover its entire area and the police could not see where I was sitting. Conclusion: avoid this restaurant not only for your safety but also for not giving money to an inhuman and rude “person”. Thanks to the employees who helped me and I am very sorry you have a boss like this.

We ate at the View Tube cafe before our visit to the ABBA Voyage a few minutes walk away. We had the most delicious Munchies Burritos at the cafe - so filling and along with a lovely glass of Sauvignon Blanc, it was the perfect lunch! It was our first visit there but it won't be our last. Excellent food and at a good price, served by friendly staff and in a lovely chilled ambience. Highly recommended.

This place is great in summer, lots of outdoor seating, shaded bits and sunny bits. The burrito isn’t the best but the Cuban Sandwich is pretty damn good!

Top quality food Very generous with the ingredients Cute thank you note on the bag was appreciated Would recommended Thank you

The Cuban pork tacos were INCREDIBLE. Some of the best pork tacos I've ever had.

Miejsce, ceny, klimat na plus. Przyjemnie spedzilem tam czas ;)

we went there before the abba show the place is wonderfull, good atmosphiraz great food and alex - the maneger there gave us great service. he took our phones to charge them and he even gave me a gift to take to my other kid when he heard that he is at the wor in israel when i'm in England thank you alex for a great experiance

Food is amazing. Highly recommend and would love to come back here. Outside sitting area was a bonus on a lovely hot October afternoon.

Absolutely fantastic experience. I've been popping in here regularly for a few years, and recently decide to use them to host a 60x person event. The team were absolutely amazing! Not only was all the food perfect even when cooking for 60x but the service was impeccable and the team that helped us (Wendell and Alex) were amazing. I highly recommend the View Tube! P.S. Try the Cuban sandwiches! WOW

This is a little gem of a place, especially if you are off to see Abba Voyage. Food was pretty good. We had tacos (not so keen on the dark soft shells), burritos and burgers. Chips were great. Not too expensive. Definitely worth a visit. Lots of lovely looking vegan cakes, didn't have time to try them ☹️

Amazing place, shout out to Brenda and Veronica: legends! Super food and drinks. Brenda is my favourite bartender ever ❤️

Fantastic place with a nice atmosphere

What a great find, although I am not a vegan, I joined my daughter to eat the vegan tacos and they were absolutely superb. Also had smoothie which was equally good. Service was excellent and presented with a smile. Great place to chill and look back at London while waiting for ABBA.

Beautiful place, food is delicious 😋

A really lovely welcoming spot with a recently expanded bar and kitchen serving deliciousness. Pleasant indoors on a couple of floors and a calm outdoor garden to enjoy too. Good prices, great service - why not give it a try?

Excellent food and drink! They're able to produce a variety of options that are gluten-free, which is delicious. They also offer a variety of drinks, including Jarritos Mexican cola. You can eat inside or outside in the garden (outside you'll get a beeper to tell you when your food is ready). The atmosphere is fantastic. It can vary between nice and chill and bustling which is great depending on your mood.

Great meeting place for drink after work in summer Venue improves

We have lunch here it was very nice.

Fabulous food and gorgeous cafe with lovely outdoor seating area definately worth a visit

Had a few drinks before Abba show. Great wee place with beer garden. Seemed popular for food.

Came here for a bit of a different breakfast and wasn’t disappointed, the shredded beef tacos are mouth-wateringly good, with a surprising, subtle smokiness from the melted cheese. The Reggaeton juice is bursting with flavour and the selection of cannolis, pastéis & homemade cakes rounded out a quite spectacular breakfast, enjoyed in their wonderful garden, which feels miles and miles from the busy city, the pastoral ambience occasionally punctured by outbound airplanes climbing overhead. Service with a sincere smile, I’ll be back for lunch and for one of the enormous Cuban sandwiches that were eyeing me up as much as I was them.

This is probably my ALL TIME FAVOURITE RESTAURANT!!! I Love this place!!! I love the food, the drinks and the staff!!! ❤❤❤

Less options for vegetarian, the place is nice and cosy. I am not sure if there was table service or not as we had get everything ourselves. The tacos that we had ordered were not that great. Cocktails were nice!

Lovely hidden cafe great for food and drinks. A great range of alcohol free beers including draft. Handy for families and those on bikes!

Great little place good vibe and friendly

Charming ambiance, but the food is nothing to write home about

Fabulous find, an oasis of calm in the Stratford area. Perfect for a coffee and rest after walking the dog in the Olympic Park!

Love the place ❤️ I come inside every time pass by area.

Come across this cafe when visiting the Olympic Park & while waiting to see Abba in concert nearby. Great food & drink with really friendly helpful staff. Would recommend a visit!

Had a lovely late breakfast / early lunch here prior to visit to the Abba Arena. Friendly service & lovely food with plenty of it.

Located on the edge of the Olympic Park, this is a great little spot for a bite to eat and a few drinks before ABBA Voyage (just a short walk away) or an event at the London Stadium…the weather wasn’t great the day we were there but it felt like walking into a little cafe/restaurant on a foreign holiday, really cute no bells and whistles but a great little place…we sat inside but when the weather is good they have an outdoor patio space which looks lovely. Menu is great and the staff were very friendly and careful to assist with some allergy requirements. We ordered tacos and a burrito and both were delicious. The food was good quality and at a reasonable price. They have a little condiments counter which also offers tap water in large dispensers that you can help yourself to, this is a nice touch. All in all really loved this place and will definitely return.

Latino music and yummy food! The only downside is that they close early.

Fabulous cafe. Unusual menu with a cuban twist. Very friendly staff. Great fun, relaxed atmosphere. Lovely garden area to sit it. Prices very reasonable in comparison to the local area.

Ridiculously tasty and man those portions are massive. Would have reviewed sooner but been in a food coma.

Found this from other reviews on Trip Advisor when we wanted something to eat before going to the ABBA matinee. Just 5 mins round the corner on the edge of the Olympic Park. Quick service, lovely staff and really great food. Tacos were delicious and a lighter option for pre-dancing. The burrito was huge! We had to pocket the other half 😂

Great find near the ABBA Arena and clearly popular with ABBA ticket holders and locals. Lots of staff and excellent menu. We enjoyed well filled burritos and camberos.

World class that Cubanos Sandwich.

Burrito was gloupy and soup like. Over cooked rice with more salad than rice and very little chicken

Sensationally scrumptious taste-bud teasing loveliness.

Called in with friends for a Sunday breakfast. Blown away by the Cuban themed breakfasts and bagels. Special shout out for the amazing mushroom guacamole and crispy onions bagel which was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and reasonable prices this place is a gem!

The worst driver ever, it took him 30 min to get here, he was staying in one place without moving, the food is cold and soggy

Can’t get enough of this place. Perhaps a bit pricey but portions are generous and I’m yet to order anything from the menu that hasn’t improved my day!

Great vibe and atmosphere but the coffee was awful! My wife’s coffee was awful too. So if you want atmosphere great. Want good coffee, go someone else.

We went here for lunch before the ABBA concert and this place is amazing. 5 mins walk from the train station and 5 mins walk form the Olympic Park concert entrance! Staff could not have been nicer, we sat outside under some shady trees, it was lovely. Food great, reasonable price too. So nice we went back after the concert to let the crowds clear and have a nice cold beer!! Go there, its a gem!!

Were the first people there on Saturday morning. The service was friendly and fun. The food was plentiful and fresh, the coffee good. The garden much bigger than expected and a real sun-trap. Will seek it out if we are back in the area.

Good value breakfast and smoothie, and just a short walk from the Snoozebox en-route towards the Olympic Park/Westfield.

Food was very nice and filling. So much so it gave me and my partner a food coma, causing us to fall asleep afterwards lol. If I had to suggest something for improvement? Maybe using a different wrap? Although it was easy yo bite into and held everything together nicely, the pita bread wrap itself tasted a little like cardboard. Unsure if its home made or shop bought? If home made then maybe some herbs or spices mixed in the bread could mask the taste? But to be fair it wasn't that noticeable anyway. The filling more than made up for it ^_^
