Cute, cosy corner café in the City.
Snug, comforting and quaint this coffee house is one of London’s most reassuringly restful locations to take a break. Painted a warm, russet brown on the outside and lined inside with varying layers of wood on the inside, it creates a safe and snug haven for customers escaping the bustle of the City. Gently creaking to the sound of weathered floorboards, old rickety tables and chairs and wooden slats, time in here seems to fade away. All the traditional English staples – buttered crumpets, homemade cakes, hot chocolate, ginger beer - designed to warm up the frostiest of insides, are on offer here in abundance. A battered radio broadcasts the soothing sounds of Radio 4, while newspapers cover the tables. This calming retreat offers the best in old-fashioned English café culture. Perched on a corner street near the vibrant Spitalfields Market it can get busy at the weekend but is still worth paying a visit if you’re in the area – maybe after a hectic rummage at the market.
Best for:
Coffee and crumpets, homemade cakes and hot chocolate, old fashioned English eating.
