"Project 44 might sound like an undisclosed government UFO programme, but it’s actually a handy cafe and wine bar in Shoreditch. But ignore the wine bar part. This spot is much better used as a work-from-home upgrade. The sort where sandwiches have been made by Dusty Knuckle Bakery and the wifi never falters. There’s a fun ice box at the till filled with canned matchas and iced coffees for those who can’t linger. But if you can stick around, the benches out front are a charming spot for people-watching, and to eye up the pub opposite for post-5pm plans that involve pints and pints of prawns. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Croissant A decent flaky, croissant. Do opt for these in the morning, though, when they’re pillowy and fresh. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna" - Sinéad Cranna
