So so chilled. I love this place.

You can use their internet facilities (it's cheaper in the internet cafe up the road) and it's colourful and vibrant.

I could sit in here and do work or sit outside and chat, it's not too noisy and the interior is unique.

Oh... And the coffee is quite good too!So so chilled. I love this place.

Cafe 1001 is one of the most gorgeous places in which I ever been in London. I'm not talking about elegant restaurants or snobby clubs, Cafe 1001 is a relaxing place where you can listen to very good music, from reggae to house or electro house, and just rest in the faboulous sofas, all lit by aromatic candles.

This place came about because of a love of the book, Alice in Wonderland. The staff will even admit it's their favourite book.

It interior is beautiful and magical and the selection of teas and tobaccos is quite good.

Story Deli makes a refreshing change to the other eateries in and around the Brick Lane area. It can be a little on the expensive side. However, it is worth every penny and every calorie consumed. Everything about Story Deli is beautiful - the breakfasts (perfect on a Sunday morning), the lunches, the afternoon tea or early morning coffee, even the staff. Everything about this place is fabulous.

Story Deli is organic and fresh in every way possible, one may even say it borders on perfect.Story Deli makes a refreshing change to the other eateries in and around the Brick Lane area.

Ah, this place is soooo nice. Friendly staff (who even suggested I come back later to pay when I didn't have the correct change), healthy and not-so-healthy-but-ever-so-nice food, and you have all the ingredients for a perfect hangover cure. Their bacon and egg sandwich is a revelation, and a perfect example of their art.

Now if they only started making Bloody Mary's then we'd have a little slice of heaven, just off Brick Lane...Ah, this place is soooo nice.

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.

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.
