SO good! We stopped in here every day on our trip. The coffee and environment is both wonderful. We became obsessed with the cheddar scones, even grabbing some for our flight. The staff is so kind and the merch is wonderful! This would be a great area to get some work done or chat with friends. Thank you Jolene! read more

Great coffee shop and bakery in Shoreditch. I stopped in early for a latte. It was great. They had a bunch of bread and other baked goods but I didn't get to try any. It's a tiny space so it's more grab and go than sit and eat. A bench outside is the only option to sit. read more

I learned about Jolene in a somewhat twisted way: I follow a different restaurant on IG and since I like them so much, I figured I should take a look at who they're following. One of the folks who they follow is an employee at Jolene - a Czech fermenter / food blogger - and I found her content intriguing and so I ended up making a reservation at Jolene Well Street. In short: I loved it! My biggest thank you is that they offer dinner reservations for 1 person. I know it sounds odd, but I like taking myself out on date nights ;-) When I arrived, the staff was super friendly: we went over the - daily changing - menu and I asked my waitress for her recommendations. She was genuinely excited about the dishes, that I over-ordered and ended up rather stuffed...but pleasantly so. Everything was delicious This place is tiny! So, do make reservations. But it's so freaking cute! read more

This might have been the best food in all of London! I went on a busy Saturday night ( a friend sent the rec) and they managed to produce the best simple yet tasty green salad and pasta. The menu changes daily but they are a bakery during the day. They also had the fastest service I have ever seen within 9 minutes I had all my dishes. Inside is intimate and small with candles but very busy need a reservation. read more

Amazing banana bread and cold brew Recommend to go there early unless the pastries will be gone read more

Happy, buzzy place seemingly much loved by locals. Cafe, bakery, wine bar - is there nothing this place can't do? Arguably the best coffee in East London complemented by fresh baked goods which appear from back of house soft and warm as the morning progresses. Great place to just hangout and enjoy the friendly neighbourhood vibe. read more

Delicious! Situated astride a very cute park and had a nice selection of pastries and coffee drink. I had a lovely dirty chai and sat outside on the benches to enjoy the fresh air -- I would 100% come back to try the food! Indoor seating is by reserve only so just be sure to reserve a table if you'd like indoor seats (though the outside area is nice and comfy as well) read more

This is a very tiny but extremely charming bakery in East London that I visited nearly every day of my week in London. We were visiting friends in Stockholm after and I bought her a Jolene bag with the ridiculous childlike logo that is somehow so great. read more

Ever feel the need to eat natural wine fed Sourdough produced in an old Aesop bottle? Ever while away the hours drinking fresh ground whilst debating/googling the merits of the Maldives vs Ibiza? Jolene will do this to you just because she can.. Another slightly out of town gem in Stoke Newington. Part bakery, part café, BIG, light, airy and a little bit ott with its pricing, certainly not a place for auld folk and cost prohibits the yoofs. It is a Marmite kind of thing. Love it, Hate it. No middle ground. From the bakery on site (using the wheat grains from chemical-free crops grown in a sustainable way) - apricot and butter pudding, Naroques bread, sausage rolls, Madeleines and cinnamon buns. Off the pseudo aga menu you can scoff up a plate of Eggs, Jamon, and potatoes or Curried Spinach, Soft Egg, Crumbs. The veggie options are diverse. They like their lentils and spelt here. Obviously. Most plates tend to be oomphed with things like goats curd, and [some] vegetables. Lots of comfort food too, Cheese Toasties, Tomato/Pumpkin Soup, Caesar salad, Poultry salads, Parmesan snow on everything .... Sit at one of the two huge sharing tables or use the counter seating overlooking the kitchen and bakery or the front terrace and just glug from the small selection of natural whites, reds and sparkling wines. Jolene's concept is promo' of sustainable farming methods to preserve the soil for future generations and, as a reinforcement of the futuregens, the logo/brand ID was the output from a 6 year old. Why would we not do our bit for the young'uns!? Should you feel your artsy perspective coming on post Jolene then, Evolutionary Arts Hackney (EartH), Rio Indy Cinema or Vortex Jazz club are all within easy walking. #googlestokenewartscene read more

I had a wonderful night at Jolene with two of my friends last week. Our server explained the daily changing menu to us when we told her that this was our first time at Jolene, and and she was very attentive throughout the night. The food was delicious, the dishes were moderately sized and designed for sharing, which came to my advantage, being a big fan of the try more/share more concept. I especially appreciated the peaceful and intimate atmosphere here and that everyone just seemed to have a good time. read more
