230 Dalston Lane
Wine bar with fantastic food and wine on tap to bring home. The space is also amazing if you're into airy industrial spaces, which I'm guessing you are (well, at least I am).

The brunch at Verden E5 is just sheer perfection. You walk in there with a hangover and come out refreshed by both the clean interior, the freshly squeezed orange juice and the poached eggs with creamy hollandaise. I've mentioned this place a couple of times before, for example when I was there with my sister and bought this book.

The Bonneville Tavern is like something out of Harry Potter but with great food and coctails. The atmosphere is perfect for the autumn/winter part of the year, and the toilets... I'm not going to say anymore, you just have to go there to find out!

This flower shop is so pretty you would want to live in it. Best for green plants, succulents and small ceramic pots. And have a look at the art on the walls as well, it's often both great and affordable and changes from time to time.

Rebel Rebel is the opposite of Botany even if the two are just a block apart. Rebel Rebel is loud, colorful and best for fresh cut flowers and bouquets. It's situated in Eat17, an organic food shop and bakery, which is also well worth a visit.
COFFEE

This coffee shop with great Swedish-infused food and pastry is super friendly and homely. People are bringing their laptops, dogs, babies and just hangout for hours. When you're too full to have anymore gubbröra or chokladbollar, have a walk down through Millfields park and take a stroll by the canal. If you're curious, I've mentioned Cooper & Wolf in a post earlier, have a look here.
