Now with three locations, co-owners Rebecca Oliver and Daisy Terry taking the idea past a Dalston shipping container to Harringay and Highbury Fields, visitors at the original can still see experience everything as it started Sunday through Friday from 08h00. Quite the operation, including a baking school and large on-site facility, it is from a car-park that guests smell Yeast, Coffee and Cinnamon meters before entering, the Baristas up front working hard while guests queue along glass cases to order. Known for Sourdough, though early arrivals are likely to be swayed by something sweet, a quick look shows Viennoiserie nicely laminated with good butter while an Apple Turnover served warm is bright with Cinnamon but not too sweet. Fairly priced by British standards, all Pastries £3.20 to £4.60, Dusty Knuckle's lone Cookie pairs Chocolate Chips and Sea Salt at the soft center of a golden rim while a buttery Cardamom Date Roll shines beneath toasted nuts.

There's a good selection of cordials and juice, olives and antipasto as well as organic dry goods. The Deli is also home to a cafe so you can stop by and relax with a tea or coffee. Prices are reasonable and you can, of course, buy everything in small quantities.

The Refreshment Room at the Deli Downstairs provided the answer. Amazing Croque Madame (only quibble would be the fried egg was a leeetle bit underdone), a bacon sandwich on really good bread with nice thick bacon and two yummy flat whites. We sat outside on recycled tables, drinking from re-purposed yoghurt pots (the posh terracotta French kind- not plastic pots!) and admired the selection of tea towels they had for sale. Service was fast and friendly, the food tasty and filling and the whole thing cost less than £15. Two happy campers!

Errrr their apple crumble's not so good though... so maybe I'll just stick to their bagels! (Hence ,minus 1 star.)

The wine tasted great and there were plenty of options. For my main course, I was torn between the chicken thighs and the lamb shawarma. I asked the waiter and he recommended the lamb. I'm very glad I asked because the lamb dish was phenomenal! The portion was huge and I wasn't able to finish the whole thing but had trouble stopping! My friend had ordered the jackfruit dish since he is vegan. He typically is not a fan of jackfruit but said the food was great and he was craving more.

I went with a grilled chicken wrap, accompanied by hash browns and an iced chocolate (wanted a hot chocolate, then complained about the heat, so the waitress suggested an iced chocolate instead!).

Cozy local place serving good coffee…read more They're definitely taking the rustic angle here, with creaky chairs and tables and a generally DIY aesthetic. The food menu is focused on bread, with a variety of pastries and sandwiches, pretty standard for a cafe, but not quite extensive enough that I'd want to choose it for lunch. Maybe a few more salads would grab me. Anyway, my wife and I split a latte, and it was quite good, definitely better than the one we had earlier in the day from another nearby cafe. It was also a few p cheaper at £2.40, which I consider a pretty good price. I noticed a "bowl latte" for £2.80 on the menu too, which I could definitely see diving into. The sunshine coming through the big front windows was nice, too, and the place was filled with small groups of people in relaxed conversation amid low-key background music. Overall a very nice atmosphere, good coffee, and just enough funkiness to remind you that you're in Dalston.
