Easily the best lunch spot in East London - for a place that's such a busy hot-spot, the staff go out of their way to foster a very tight community.
The menu more varied and higher quality than any of the neighbouring spots, and has been for 5+ years. There is a salad bar that seems to never repeat, healthy proteins, a wide menu of be edicts and fry ups, and as many sweet options as Dusty Knuckle.

Anyway I have been frequenting here for over a year and have got to know the staff, managers and chefs and I have to say what an all round excellent job they all do. I have been here dozens of times so would be considered a regular. Polite, courteous and attentive even when busy. The food is consistent and well presented and arrives quick. Well done...
