"The Common is an independent coffee shop sharing its space with an architecture studio. The concept aimes to blur the boundaries between private office and public cafe, which makes it a very unique place. The heart of the café is a long communal table where visitors can sit and chat with each other over a great latte and a pain au chocolat. Toasted sandwiches, quiches with salad, soups, avocado on toasts and a selection of cakes and pastries form a varied menu for breakfast and lunch. Hidden gem situated in a quiet street, the Common is a peaceful alternative to the otherwise busy East London. PS: the loo is cute - a little shed in the backyard." - Mélanie Hubert-Crozet
