"Violet Cakes is a California-cool bakery in London Fields that’s doing their bit to ensure that a toastie loneliness epidemic never makes the news. Their signature spicy kimchi and blue cheese toastie is fried to perfection and importantly, it comes with its own little pot of pickle friends to hang out with. The bread falls on the very crispy, crunchy side of toasted, but should you fancy a fluffy reprieve, we always condone an order of the soft, subtly boozy banana buttermilk bread." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna, daisy meager
