Clarnico Club

Clarnico Club is an independent specialty coffee shop and community space between Hackney Wick and the Olympic Park, in the new East Wick neighbourhood. It is a nonprofit and works as a dedicated training site for SEND Coffee, which gives young adults with special educational needs and disabilities barista education and employment in the coffee industry. The room is spacious, light filled and full of plants.

Espresso drinks, filter coffee and teas are on the counter, and the layout works equally for catching up with friends, getting work done on a laptop or just watching the world go by. A flexible space hosts community events, ranging from social gatherings to seasonal celebrations. It opens early on weekdays and a little later at the weekend, closing at five every day.
