SHED Kingsland Coffee Shop & Deli — Restaurant in London

It was my first visit to this café, and I really liked the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. However, I have to say I was quite disappointed by the coffee.

As someone who enjoys black Americanos with no additions, I’ve tried coffee from many places and appreciate a wide range of flavours — whether bold, bitter, acidic, or mild. Unfortunately, this one lacked any depth or character. It looked strong, tasted strong, but had no real richness or nuance.

If I'm going to spend almost £20 on two coffees and pastries, I at least want them to be served in crockery, it's the default bare minimum of a decent cafe experience really. Giving it 3 stars because the quality of the coffee was decent (insofar as a paper cup flat white can be), as were...
