Very tasty breakfasts and lunches with friendly staff and pleasant decor, a reliable place for a warm filling meal at a decent price. Coffee isn't the most sophisticated in London, tends to be a little too hot and bitter

I think this is the cafe I went to yesterday. We were in Limehouse looking for somewhere to have coffee and found this cafe. Nice apple pie plus coffee, and a relaxed environemnt with a few red comfy sofas to sit on. The staff were helpful and friendly, mostly I think because we were the only two people in the place!
