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.

The interior is very "hipster shabby chic", with hospital-green walls, second hand furniture, and a collection of old coffee machines for decoration. Obliging staff - and the sandwiches (£3.80) were very tasty and, as well as teas and coffees, they sell Fentiman's soft drinks. The spinach and feta pastries (£2) are delicious. A good place for a quick, casual bite to eat, and their bread seems to sell quickly!

OH TINA! You have saved me…read more I am in the midst of moving house. This involves: no WiFi at home, and massive amounts of trawling up and down and around Dalston to source wonderful items of household joy such as toilet brushes, bins and doormats. Rest assured, i am generally not having fun. However, prompted by the same sign that Mei L. saw, I popped by for a coffee and a quick snark of their internets. I've been here for 2 hours, had three (very, very good) lattes and watched their current exhibiting artist painting his mural on the stark white interior of the cafe. It's looking good to say the least, and the outlook for the afternoon is considerably improved. The people running this little oasis are super friendly, and seem to have endless conversation, which is good in an area when anything vaguely stylish seems to be overrun by those with their finger so on the pulse that maybe their own hearts have stopped beating. Tina is peeking around the corner with a cheeky look on her face, as some Rai oozes out of the stereo. I'm eyeing up their serrano ham sandwich and most certainly will have one of their brownies. Oh, they've changed their tunes to Joni Mitchell now. Hmph. I would also play some scrabble with someone, but i'm sat next to a 5 year old with a serious addiction to hot chocolate. It might get messy. Mei - when you're next about I challenge you to a connect 4 duel! The only drawback to this ace place is that coming with laptop means that you're restricted to sitting inside, and it sure is sweaty in here... which has sadly stripped one star off my review. I still salute you though Tina.

There's a wide variety of options to pick from including ones that are holiday themed depending on the holiday. Then there's the classic options such as chocolate tiramisu. You can either purchase individually or a box of 6,12 or 24 and yes you do get a discount the more you purchase. They're pretty affordable around £3 for the big ones. Plus the packaging is so cute. The flavours and perfect. Not too rich that each bite hurts but no to bland. Each bite is worth it. They're soft and moist too. Because of covid, I took mine to go and had it 5 hrs after purchase. Still soft and yummy.
