Some of the best coffee in Walthamstow. Staff are all super friendly as well, which makes it worth the visit. I haven’t tried all of their food but the pastry selection is delicious, and I believe they also do Papo’s bagels 😋

Probably the best coffee quality out of the local speciality places. They have interesting filters on, a wall of coffee, and most flat whites here will be good though you do have to check which barista is on the machine and get a batch brew for some of them. It’s not a local vibe as the baristas have no chat whatsoever - one of those kind of odd places where they’ll somehow serve you the coffee without saying a single word. If you just want good functional coffee it’s perfect, if you want a more human interaction you might be better off with Jaunty down the road or Armstrong nearby. Food is good and personally I feel reasonably priced. Some of the other reviews are maybe just a bit unrealistic about how much expensive ingredients cost nowadays. The coffee prices are super cheap - probably too cheap to last considering how good the beans they use are.

Smoked Salmon Bagel 🥯 for £7.95, good for lunch but little sour for me. The atmosphere inside was so nice than the out door.
