I love 'The Premises', for me its worth the travelling time for such fabulous food and coffee.

I very nearly scored this as four stars though, as already noted the service with one of the staff can be hit and miss! I've been served by them a few times, sometimes ok, sometimes you are left feeling as though you are beneath them in the order of life. You know who you are! No tip for you.

The food and the coffee is wonderful, there is a huge range to choose from and being a bit piggy, i've tried most. There is nothing here i don't like!I love 'The Premises', for me its worth the travelling time for such fabulous food and coffee.

I've just (this Monday) moved into Brick Lane to work as our office has moved from Clerkenwell. I had a recommendation that this place was good and it didn't disappoint.

- Tasty
- Friendly
- Authentic
- Cheap
- Awesome chips!
- Round tum

If you ever had the pleasure of going to the New Piccadilly Cafe and liked it, you'll love this place. While I was in there an American tourist walked out saying:

"I have only 4 must visit places in London while I'm here. This was 1 of them"

Not much to add to the other reviews here only that the service was really friendly. Lots of banter and chatter about 'Mum's home made chicken pie and her jam pudding' and a decent cuppa.

4 of us went and ordered Lasagne, Chicken Pie, Steak Pie and chips. With a side of cheesy broccoli. As the food landed, silence ensued. We hunkered down for a good feed and everyone loved it.

See you next week. We've found somewhere to replace our previous haunt.

Lennies is a totally fab Thai cafe in Shoreditch. The food is tasty, the service is friendly and you can bring your own booze - stay as long as you like. With reasonable pices it's great value for money too.Lennies is a totally fab Thai cafe in Shoreditch.

The menu is just right for a light lunch - goats cheese on toast particularly tasty. Nice sofa and tables outside. Free wifi and good fairtrade organic coffee. Staff incredibly friendly.The menu is just right for a light lunch - goats cheese on toast particularly tasty. Nice sofa and tables outside. Free wifi and good fairtrade organic coffee.

Jones Daily Cafe - A Hidden Gem by girlswear

Jones Daily Cafe was a working Welsh Dairy a century ago. For quite some time now, it's a cute chirpy cafe with a shop attached.

Hidden in an archway located on one of the side street off Columbia Road, Jones Daily Cafe is a great start off when you visit the Flower Market on Sunday. The Cafe is cozy, home feel, high ceiling with bar styled tables along the side. There's a bookshelf beside that was a wall flyers of local galleries and happenings. The Cafe offers variety of freshly made baked goods, and sandwiches made from small producers from England and Holland, as well as your morning coffees, teas and juices.

I love to do a bit of reading here, although it could get quite busy at times. On busy summer days the young crowd spills onto the stone paved road outside, where the musicians are.

Just outside of the cafe is an oyster stand, fresh chucked oysters, love it! The shop is just around the corner selling top quality baked goods, breads, bagels and cheeses.

Great place to have a coffee or drinks. Films are shown from time to time and other art events are hosted ocasionally. They have a nice selection of organic beers and they also serve a limited selection of savoury plates. I tried a savoury pastry for lunch that didn't particularly excite me. However there are more stuff on the menu that looked like having "potential". On the whole it's a place definitely worth going and can easily turn into a favourite. I really love the collection of vintage cups and mugs!Great place to have a coffee or drinks. Films are shown from time to time and other art events are hosted ocasionally.
