Chris HainesApril 20, 2015Excellent place to go for exceptional cakes! They tempt you in from the window. The coffee is divine and served with a smile, friendly people serve you with a smile, plenty of seats & free WiFi.
Pascal HartigJune 18, 2016Lovely space to hang out for a little while. More spacious than you would expect from the outside. Even though the flat white didn't look particularly stunning, the espresso was amazing.
JETApril 11, 2015Good coffee and a chilled atmosphere, makes for a great place to take your notebook and do a bit of work at during the week. Staff are relaxed and friendly and they serve great cakes and pastries.
Ashley ChanMarch 14, 2018Great coffee shop to satisfy your cake cravings. The blueberry lemon pie is delicious and they usually have good specials as well. Can get very noisy on weekdays because it’s right on Brick Lane!
Vinl LSeptember 12, 2017Great coffee with amazing atmosphere. Great selection of amazing cakes. Highly recommend when you are in Shoreditch and looking for cafe with chill vibes
- R93February 4, 2015I had the Oreo cake which was maybe one of the best cakes that I've tried. I would say that's it's quiet on a week day. Sit on the couch when you go there ;)
Wendy TseAugust 12, 2015Had the red velvet cake and blood orange lemonade, loved both of them! Had wifi, washroom, some seats had power sockets, good natural light, would come again to work. Can't wait to try the coffee
Kelvin PoonFebruary 16, 2016Lovely coffee and lovely cakes! Smoothies were a bit sweet but I guess it really depends on your personal taste.Particularly love it how it becomes a church on Wednesday night 7:30pm.Lovely joint!
Really busy on Saturday. I had to wait almost 15 minutes for a coffee. Anyway flat white is delicious and a piece of red velvet cake is huge! Couldn't finish it.
Jinnie GimApril 30, 2014I dare you to try the chocolate cake and not be obsessed with it. It is literally the bomb. Amazing flat white as well! I think I have found love here at kahalia
Antek PiéchnikMarch 7, 2016Lovely staff, great sandwiches and foccacias. Really decent flat whites. Great place for your Saturday breakfast.Definitely recommended, I'll be back soon!
ChristianMay 14, 2015great coffee and good baguettes. many people are using the place to work on their laptops and it's good to kill some time in the Internet as they have free wifi :)
TingSeptember 2, 2013Guinness chocolate cake was perfection...so moist and not too sweet. Free wifi and open layout with sunny skylights invites you to stay for a few slices.
IrinaApril 13, 2014Great ambience and service, good coffee, tasty desserts.. Favourite coffee place in Brick Lane (be aware that it can be overcrowded on Sundays).
theMiniMen.co.uk Dwarf HireMarch 24, 2016Damn, the soup of the day was good! They weren't messing around when they said it was a good one today. Might go and get another 👍🏼
Lisa Talia MorettiApril 22, 2016Super cute social enterprise cafe. They don't do hot breakfasts but they do make a mean pesto, tomato and mozzarella cheese sandwich.
V HOctober 21, 2014Cake is good, generous slices. Maltesers cake and banana chocolate cake... Yum! Will be back for more
OliviaMay 4, 2014nice and friendly staff, good coffee, delicious and moist Red velvet cake. perfect place for a relaxed breakfast or afternoon break.
Daria MingaraevaFebruary 20, 2013Perfect place to hide from city noise, get a cup of tea or coffee in the heart of East London. Best you can find on Brick Lane.
Best coffee and nicest vibe in the whole of bricklane! And it's a charity café as well so you're doing a good deed by spending your dimes there!- Best coffee, best cakes, non-profit community café! Awesome find! The best and most genuine vibe on bricklane by far
Lovely place where you can eat awesome pastry and dessert. The place is so quiet with plugs and WIFI to work there hours and hours.
Kenneth MacArthurAugust 16, 2015Super-cool place with rustic wooden tables; hipsters and MacBooks are also never far away. Takes cards. Wi-Fi password is currently reflexkahaila
Best coffee I've had in London, hands down. And paired with the carrot cake (also the best I've had), heaven!
Sarah amzAugust 16, 2017You can grab quality specialty coffee. Staff were friendly. I tried their flat white it was good. 8/10
Siew Kwan NgMarch 26, 2015Trying their dairy free honey cake and americano! Very moist and not too sweet
- j chadApril 4, 2014Best flat white on the Climpson Baron blend I've tasted. Lovely milk texture and perfect temperature to do the Baron justice
KatDecember 13, 2016super cute coffee place with nice and quiet atmosphere! good to read or study if you don't need the internet too much as it unfortunately has very slow WIFI :/
G DMarch 21, 2016Great coffee, delicious pastries and friendly staff. What more could you ask for in a coffee shop!
Jan T.April 22, 2013Red Velvet...it tastes as good as it looks like... Fantastic place, mixture of Café, Art Gallery and sustainable living... <3
Rodrigo BuenoAugust 12, 2014Nice atmosphere. Good place for a informal meeting or a morning working. And the banana cupcake is great!
LAugust 30, 2014Massive cake portions and really cheap for Brick Lane. Chocolate & salted caramel cake was mouth melting!
Viv SchwarzMarch 7, 2016Good for meetings: good light, friendly, big tables, plug sockets. Also good coffee and pastries.
P SMay 29, 2013It's nice but.. Uncomfortable seats, a little expensive, very slow wifi, full of laptops and glowing apples. Love apple, just a strange atmosphere. Still Inviting and warm though, with great cakes.
H BJuly 5, 2018Nice atmosphere, nice coffee, friendly staff. Most people here working on laptops. Profits go to a charity.
I stayed once till closing and they offered anyone left in the cafe free sandwiches. Both a nice thing to do and sustainable for reducing food waste. Kudos!
Shannon LowAugust 2, 2015Great coffee and cakes. Also a social enterprise so your flat white money is going to a good place.
Sam LesterAugust 28, 2015Nice place with great coffee. Not that many tables so it can get a bit crowded.- Please, dont let in your window cakes from the day before. There are dry and no more tasty as usual. It's a shame for a nice place like yours.
