The restaurant has a great atmosphere, especially when the staff are working. The food is delicious and visually appealing, especially the cakes. The wifi is also good. View all feedback.

What SweetestThistle dislikes about 119 Lower Clapton:
It's kinda like walking into an office, the amount of people nursing single coffees whilst hunched over their laptops is unreal. I asked a dude, out of politeness, if I could sit at the communal ! table and he huffed at me as though it were some great inconvenience. OK mate, maybe work from home in future. Rude customers aside, food in 119 is great as is the tea, coffee can be hit or miss. Staff super friendly. View all feedback.

Excellent oat flat whites. Milk drinks are on the short side so better for people who enjoy strong coffee.
