These guys are the reason I'm still awake, the almost perpetually open organic store/cafe that serves great coffee gave me an extra shot in my 'not bad at all thank you very much' double latte. Ah well my fault for saying yes i suppose.
This little health food shop that has, as of today only been open 9 days is alone in almost a sea of deep fried, bloated chicken houses and cafes. It sits right next to where I work and a little detour over from the Whitechapel road.
Unsurprisingly everything is organic, even the forks! There is an increasing selection of prepacked health food and the shop is slowly moving into hot foods. Slightly unusually they will show you the (very healthy) can of soup and then sell it to you hot with rice for around £4. Unusual, but as a new business they are very sensitive to customers wants and needs. On the first day i was there they had a very nice chilli that was made in their offsite warehouse that day. The place is currently much better for a small lunch snack. Today I bought a double coffee, a piece of gluten free cake and a fruit bar for less than £3, and all pretty tasty.
Hopefully their range will improve as the owner assures me that will happen. Even so this place is just about the best around the area for a small healthy lunch snack or a quick hit of coffee to help with the final push of typing before you leave for home read more
