Airy, wood-accented café serving house-roasted single-origin coffee and inventive small bites, plus a leafy patio perfect for sunny days.
"The Allpress roastery on Dalston Lane has an excellent, surprisingly secluded outdoor patio. It’s just about the best spot in E8 to sit with a coffee on a sunny morning." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak
"You can get Allpress coffee from countless spots around London, but their two-storey Dalston Lane coffee shop and restaurant is the mothership. The food is eggs and avocado, caesar sandwiches, and whatnot done well. Most of all it’s worth looking out to see if they have any guest residences in. In the past there’s been Mystic Börek and Mangal II. Plus, they also have a spacious and secluded patio which is perfect for when the sun is shining." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"You can get Allpress coffee from many spots around London, but their Dalston Lane coffee shop and cafe is the mothership. Not only is there a coffee lab where you can learn all kinds of nerdy things, they also have a spacious and secluded patio which is perfect when the sun is shining." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"The patio at Allpress deserves some kind of coffee romance award. We imagine this would involve a giant, golden mug statue handed out by Claudia Winkleman and Paddy McGuinness dressed as cupid. But until we make that a reality, feel free to use this Dalston spot as your own perfect date setting. The huge secluded patio is complete with big potted plants, trees, and rustic benches. But don’t panic if the weather turns—there are two floors of seating inside and a coffee lab where you can nerd out on beans." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
