"Eleven years on from Penny University’s slow brew wizardry on Redchurch Street in Shoreditch, Warren George’s Born Drippy in Clapton is saying no to the ‘spro. The menu is V60 pour-over, batch, or cold brew, with a rotating cast of three or four roasters providing the beans, including a decaf filter. Nearly all of George’s selections are from roasteries run by women, and the cafe majors in beans from female producers too, while also charging 20p for a takeaway cup."

"Restaurants Japanese Haggerston. This Japanese café in Haggerston gets top rating from young customers thanks to its toy-filled playroom and canalside location. There’s no pressure to spend and scarper: while away the afternoon with as many matcha lattes as you can handle."

"Sorry estate agents, but as much as you brand this area off Kingsland Road ‘The Haggerston Riviera’, absolutely no one is buying it. Not that it bothers the quiet and unassuming cafe Toconoco. Tucked away just off the Regent’s Canal, this cute Japanese spot is a total hidden gem and serves up simple, tasty and pocket-friendly meals."
