EAST LONDON: Leila's Shop

Breakfast at Leila's Shop was simple and simply delicious. The little cafe in Shoreditch convinced us with its sweet and rustic design and the fact that all ingredients are taken from the neighboring grocery store of the same name, which features fresh local and organic produce. We both ordered fried eggs, one with ham, one with salvia, and while waiting for them to be served, we snug in a homemade brownie. The presentation was as wonderful as the food itself, the staff sweet and attentive throughout our stay.

The farm-to-table concept really made me feel like I was sitting in a cafe somewhere in the countryside of England.

A true down-to-earth find in the busy city of London.
