Hand Cafe is an independent neighbourhood cafe, situated on Victory Parade in East Village, next to the Portlands water glades. Sister-cafe to 46b Espresso Hut (Est. 2012, Hackney), Hand expands a focus on well-made, well-sourced food and beverage, that allows the cafe and therefore the customer, to support local and small-scale producers who care about what they make.
