Coffee Enquiry XXXIII: AllPress

She thinks you’re a guy that doesn’t like coffee
Jerry Seinfeld (Seinfeld episode “The Phone Message”)

Wandering around in Shoreditch I visited AllPress. Espresso drinks or filter brews, some sandwiches, breakfast dishes, and other bigger options for lunch. A big window allows seeing the roaster in action, and you can buy coffee beans or grinder to take home.

The place
The place was completely packed on Saturday, we got a flat white and a macchiato, really lovely coffee, creamy, with a nice bitterness, no latte art.

Back for Story Scout Hut Pizza

“It's a pizza the moment you put your fists in the dough” 
Poppie (Seinfeld episode “The Couch”) 

One of my favourite pizzas in London is Story Deli or now Story Scout Hut Pizza. I have written in the past about them but they keep moving the place so finding the place has become a challenge. So after having a great time in the London Coffee Festival I decided to track and visit them back.

The place décor is pretty similar to the previous locations, same communal tables and old rustic furniture. Also same formula of organic ingredients, and thin crust or should I say cracker style pizza. 

The table
Say hi!
Got to the place and shared a pizza with my significant other. We got the chorizo & mushrooms. The toppings are chorizo, garlic roasted mushrooms, buffalo mozzarella, mascarpone, roasted sweet red onion, olives & a little sweet chilli sauce. 

Pizza
The pizza was great as usual, crispy, fresh ingredients, great flavours. In fairness it’s not a pizza but I couldn’t like it more. 

Cracker style
If you haven’t visited it what are you waiting for? Hardcore Italians be aware that is not what you would consider a traditional pizza. Also they weren’t taking cards when I visited so get cash before hand just in case.

Go Girl, Go Girl, Ah Ha Ha, Bistrotheque…

Brunch time if the only thing I can tell you. If you haven’t been on a weekend in Bistrotheque for breakfast or brunch you must start to think in doing it. The place is completely hidden so be sure to check their website beforehand. This east end place, near Cambridge Heath in Wadeson Street is bright white with a trendy architectural artistic atmosphere, and just in the middle a black baby grand piano contrasting with the white room.

Bistrotheque

I think most of the people that are in the brunch hours over the weekend are trying to recognize the songs played by Xavior, the resident pianist who smashes the instrument to perform a diverse selection of pop songs, at least we do that every time we go.

English Breakfast

Try the roast on Sundays, or as I did go for an English breakfast, and if you’re still hungry, try their pancakes or maybe a poached egg where royale, florentine, and benedict are the options. The food is good quality, although I have to say the black pudding in my English breakfast was dry.

Eggs Benedict

The place is usually packed so be sure you reserve before going. A great atmosphere and really good food makes this place unique.

Breakfast always reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Subway” where Jerry bump into a naked man on the subway (tube).


Jerry: All right, how about skipping breakfast. I'm guessing you're not a half-grapefruit and black coffee guy.
Naked man: I like a good breakfast.
Jerry: I understand, I like good breakfast. As long as you don't wind up trapped in a room in bib overalls and pigtails, been counseled by Dick Gregory.
Naked man: I'm not ashamed of my body.
Jerry: That's your problem, you should be.
