Love Pret! There's a great assortment of grab and go items that are fresh and pretty healthy. When…read morewanting a reliable place to get food that isn't junk and relatively inexpensive, Pret is the place. This location had a good amount of seating, which was such a welcome sight since we were on the go walking all day. You cannot go wrong with the Chicken Laksa Soup. I cannot get enough of it!

I've had better service at other stores but they're still ok and greet you. My review is probably…read moremore aimed at Pret in general. I understand prices are going up but that doesn't mean quality should go down. The last sandwich I had from this location tasted funny and definitely wasn't work £5. If you go later in the day they are often out of many items and aren't supplied enough for the hours they're open. The green juice is nearly always sold out if I go in the afternoon so clearly there's a demand for more. Coffee is ok and they do nice almond croissants. I also recommend their gingerbread if your little ones like gingerbread men!

What a fabulous find! Returned daily for the fresh croissants and coffee!

Staff was very welcoming and friendly with great local information to share. This is really a great local London neighborhood coffee shop. I noticed while I was enjoying my coffee that the staff knows most of their customers and has the order ready within minutes of them walking in. As we sat we watched multiple customers come through, and all of them were greeted with a smile, laugh, and some good words. Nothing like a little positivity to start your day along with that cup of joe! A great local find here in London.

My dowsing rod, trained to detect great coffee shops, was twitching in excitement when I was…read morewalking down a residential street in Stoke Newington. There - on the corner of Shakespeare Walk and Allen Road, did I detect a shop that actually not featured a sign, but that oozed with coziness and a promise of good coffee and food. Sure enough, when I walked inside I was greeted with the smell of freshly ground coffee and wafts of toasted bread made its way to my nostrils. I appreciated the loaves of fresh bread on the counter, but being on the way to Broadway Market I decided to hold off on a purchase just yet. Instead, I went for a simple Americano to take-away. I really enjoyed this little trip over here and promised to be back soon again. All the other patrons looked very satisfied: reading the weekend edition of the Guardian while nibbling away on something delicious or chatting with a friend in a corner of the store...it all looked so comforting and if I hadn't had my dog waiting for me outside, I would've definitely prolonged my stay here ;-) Still, I wonder what's up with not displaying their name on the outside of the store?

I was super excited when we found this cute little vegan cafe in Stokey. We went for breakfast and…read moreordered some yummy and also reasonably priced sanwiches/toasties and nutritious juices - all freshly prepared. There are newspapers, magazines, and books to browse in while you have your coffee. Bodega 50 has three large tables only but as it's not on a high street, it's easy to find a place to sit on a Saturday morning.

The latest offering is a branch on Hildreth Street, opposite fan favourites M1lk & Brickwood. Given this was my first visit, I undertook the Rebecca litmus test: The Flat White. And it passed with flying colours. Lovely strong coffee and light fluffy foam, really good balance. Enjoyed it sat at one of their outside tables. Only negative was the 15 minutes it took, as (to quote my server) "your order fell off the machine & I totally forgot" Maybe a more robust order system?!

Wow, this was one of the only times that the Yelp reviews were just plain wrong…read more People, this place is nothing special. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, which resembled a fast food disaster, and tasted about the same. While the prices were good, the service was unfriendly. I think my American love of good breakfast sandwiches may have gotten to him. Steer clear, go get some Lebanese food instead. Or better yet, branch out and try something new.

They have an extensive menu of sandwich fillings for such a tiny place, chicken, fish, lamb, vegetarian prepared in all forms and styles (baguette, roll, ciabatta, etc) all ranging from £1.80-£3.50, also give the jacket potatoes a try, my favourite is the cheese and beans. These potatoes are freshly oven baked not re heated in a microwave, hence the difference in taste. Wash it all refreshingly and healthily down with a fresh smoothie. The selection is small but when you need to serve so many people maybe it's best to keep it simple.
