For all the coffee lovers in London, these are the spots you shouldn’t miss!
Shoreditch, coffee and rock & roll
That’s exactly what you’d find in the Shoreditch Grind [1], located on the roundabout of Old Street.
Founded in 2011, it has since become a cult place in the East of London for all coffee lovers. A great place to work from, with the added bonus that if the hours go by, and you’re still there in the early evening, coffees will turn into stunning cocktails.
They also serve Sunday brunches, and have an upstairs recording studio, and a Grind app, so that you can order and pay ahead without having to deal with tedious queues.
Where to find Shoreditch Grind: 213 Old Street, EC1V 9NR

If you’re looking for quality and sustainable coffee, The Attendant should be your new favorite haunt.
With the “intention of bringing permaculture to the UK café scene” [2] as they state on their website, this coffee bar in Shoreditch is a great, beautiful spot easily recognizable by its green and white tiled walls.

Kahaila is an actual charity that proudly supports their community, that’s why you’d likely find great and inspiring pieces of art created by locals, hanging on their walls.
On top of that, they tend to hold many different events to connect people and strengthen the community. So if you’re looking for special connections shared through coffee, this is definitely your place!

A bicycle workshop-bar with amazing coffee
Until you experience London by bike, you will probably miss many of its charms.

However, Look Mum no hands is much more than that, they also host lots of events, from book launches, to screenings, exhibitions and talks.
