Description

Nestled in Clapton, this trendy independent café exudes a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, perfect for remote work or casual meet-ups. While the space is often bustling with patrons nursing coffees and focused on their laptops, the friendly staff ensure a warm welcome. The menu boasts delightful offerings, such as caramelized bananas on sourdough toast and tangy breakfast snacks, all beautifully presented. Although some patrons noted the coffee quality and portion sizes could be improved, the vibrant décor and chill music contribute positively to the experience. It's an ideal spot for coffee lovers and brunch enthusiasts alike, despite occasional noise concerns.

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.

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