The Oh Comely Coffee Shop Partnership is simple: we parcel up copies of the magazine and send them to our favourite independent UK coffee shops.

Happily, Oh Comely's Holborn office is based near many of these fine joints and we composed a trail of three cafes in East London for you to visit: Nude Espresso, The Hawkhurst Vault and Slate Coffee London. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon wander!

Nude Espresso. Our coffee walk starts off at Nude Espresso on Hanbury Street, just off Brick Lane, home to some of the best coffee around (evident in the rapidly-forming queue inside). I sat with a heart-shape-decorated latte, a good book, and watched a delicious range of granola, scrambled eggs and brioche French toast make its way up from the kitchen downstairs.

The Hawkhurst Vault. At the other end of Brick Lane, just past Tatty Devine, is The Hawkhurst Vault, a cosy coffee shop by day, beer lounge by night. Run by two friends, it provides showcasing space for local artists and the serving area is lined with vinyl and a record player. Spending a few hours here is wonderfully easy, especially when accompanied by the salted caramel brownie, a cappuccino and their excellent music collection.

Slate Coffee London. Take a short stroll through Shoreditch to Slate Coffee London, the final stop on the caffeine trail (though if you’re in need of an extra espresso, Ziferblat is only five minutes away). Situated on the busy Curtain Road, Slate is perfect for people-watching with a coffee smoothie.

Keep your eyes peeled for the new issue of Oh Comely in Nude Espresso, The Hawkhurst Vault and Slate Coffee soon. Don’t live in London? You can find coffee shops stocking us near you here. Do you run a cafe and want to join in? Email [email protected].
