the details.

what you need to know before you visit.

do you take reservations?
we're a walk-in only cafe. weekends can get busy, but the queue usually moves fast and we have a few benches outside if you're waiting for a table.
are you dog friendly?
very. well-behaved dogs are always welcome inside and out. we usually have treats behind the counter.
do you sell beans wholesale?
we do. we supply a handful of nearby venues in east london. if you're opening a spot and want to chat coffee, drop us a line using the form below.
what are your holiday hours?
we're open most bank holidays on our weekend schedule (8:30–17:00). we only close completely on christmas day and boxing day.
do you have decaf and non-dairy milks?
always. swiss water decaf is on the second hopper, all day. oat (minor figures barista) and whole milk are included — no charge. soya available on request.
gluten and allergens?
we keep a gluten-free brownie and one gf bread option daily (sub 50p on any toast). we share a small kitchen, so we can't fully guarantee no cross-contact — just have a quick word with whoever's on the bar and we'll do our best.
is the cafe step-free?
yes — flush entry from wilton way and a wide path to the counter. the toilet is step-free with a grab rail. we have one bench-height table that suits wheelchairs and prams.

say hello.

whether you're looking to set up a bean subscription, ask about wholesale, or just say hi — we'd love to hear from you.
