The name of this cafÃ© will give away their speciality! It is a fantastic little coffee shop which serves the most amazing cappuccinoâ¬"s! The outside is really not good, I havenâ¬"t been in a little while so they may have redecorated â¬ Iâ¬"m sure if they did they would be filled to the brim with customers! However once you get inside it is well decorated and has a nice cosy feel to it. The staff are really friendly and take care of you well, they will even sit and chat for a bit if they arenâ¬"t busy. Prices are about average for a coffee shop in London but the quality is way above average!The name of this cafÃ© will give away their speciality!

In these parts of Shoreditch itâ¬"s difficult to find somewhere to chill that hasnâ¬"t been embellished with street art or been given the trendy stamp.

Black & white memories of London through the times adorn the walls, blackboard menus, cotton & lace half way curtains, all add to the modest Victorian interior without going over the top. You instantly feel welcome and comfortable, but donâ¬"t be surprised if you find yourself surrounded by tea guzzling women having a good old gossip.

If you work in the area, they serve tasty and reasonably priced filled rolls, sandwiches and cakes; I recommend the steak roll washed down with a glass of Chegworth Valley apple juice or pick from a selection of loose teas.

Honest, service with a smile and even the receipts are stamped and hand written.

Cafe 1001 - Good for a night out or a snack! by gregwo

Cafe 1001 has some good tunes to warm up the night with or to hit later on in the evening. It's quite grungy, but that adds to the atmosphere for the most part. It's quite laid back and the dancing is usually good. One piece of advice-- always keep your bag with you. Since there's no cover charge people go in just to steal bags and leave. It happened to a friend of mine while she was just a few feet away from her bag, so be careful!!

It's also a nice cafe during the day with nice baked goods and food in the always amazing atmosphere of Brick Lane. Check it out!Cafe 1001 has some good tunes to warm up the night with or to hit later on in the evening. It's quite grungy, but that adds to the atmosphere for the most part.

Reminds me a lot of a coffee shops in San Francisco. Very good feel to the place - relaxed atmosphere for hanging with with a good book, the paper, using your laptop or just whiling away the hours listening to the Dylan tunes they play. Oh, and good chairs - lots of knackered comfy leather chairs and sofa....always a plus.Reminds me a lot of a coffee shops in San Francisco.

I've been going to this place for years. It delivers what can only be the best chili cheese burger i have ever tasted in the UK.

The chili cheese burger is to American cuisine what foie gras is to the French.

Great food. Horrible queues when busy. Well worth itI've been going to this place for years. It delivers what can only be the best chili cheese burger i have ever tasted in the UK.
