"When I swim in London Fields lido I often visit Pophams — bakery by day and an Italian restaurant by night, it suits both daytime and evening plans." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Bakery and all-round serene spot Pophams is just a three-minute stroll away from the lido. Get involved in some of the savoury pastries—our favourite is the Marmite, schlossberger, and spring onion swirl. Then you may as well finish on a sweet note with a seasonal fruit-stuffed situation." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Leaning into playful experimentation, this bakery is known for inventive menu items such as a decadent, salty-sweet maple bacon croissant that has become an Instagram-famous staple and a magnet for home bakers trying to recreate it." - Stacey Leasca
"Spend all day and all night (from Wednesday to Saturday) at this cafe, bakery, and dinnertime pasta spot. Pophams’ whitewashed space is filled with long sharing tables, beautiful ceramics in neutral tones, flowers in delicate little vases, and flickering candles. Pastries are where this spot really excels. Even the plain croissant is rich and buttery, but you really want to get involved in some of the savoury combos—Marmite, schlossberger, and spring onion or bacon and maple." - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Pophams’ mince pies are encased in croissant dough—which is ideally how we’d like to spend the winter too. As well as decadent pastry, you can expect mincemeat that’s been steeped in The King’s Ginger liqueur and piped with clotted cream. These are the divas of the mince pie world. Find them at Pophams’ Hackney and Islington bakeries." - sinead cranna
