Leading contender for the most quaint café in London

The knock on effect of the falling dominoes continues with my coffee quest in London. Taste of Bitter Love* is terrific.

The location of this place is best described as being in the backwater or quite simply isolated. Best way to get to this part of deepest Hackney is the Route 55 bus from Oxford Circus.

TBL is tiny and as a result intimate, it’s simply impossible for this place to exude any coldness or stuffiness into its ambience.


The whole place is kitted out like a bric-à-brac museum, the defaulted cosiness and warmth of it all will undoubtedly compliment anyone’s cup of coffee perfectly.

The owner/proprietor Felicity is genuinely friendly and unflappable; she also happens to make a decent cup as well.

Sharp and short; a perfect taste of bitter love.

More than estimable Flat White- I think possibly the cheapest in London as well. £1.50 for a small.

Focaccia sandwich of sausages, sweet onions and rocket- simply elysian.

Like Dose, I’ve promised Felicity that I shall try my utmost to visit her little caff at least once a month. Highly recommended.

*Save you the troubs- "Taste Of Bitter Love" is the hallowed hit by Gladys Knight & The Pips
