based within Whitechapel Gallery, ethics are at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer, to support local initiatives across East London, and to source only the highest quality produce.
We use Cacklebean eggs from the Cotswolds, Estate Dairy milk and yoghurt from Norfolk, free-range herb-fed chicken from Perry’s Butcher just up the road at Spitalfields Market, and fresh vegetables from Ted’s Veg.
Our coffee is roasted and delivered by bike by Climpson & Sons in East London, and our teas come from Nemi, a London-based social enterprise that supports and empowers refugees.
Find out more about what we’re up to through our Instagram below.
As a women-led, independent café
Event Catering and Hosting
Alongside the café, we also offer event catering and private hosting. Whether you're planning something within Whitechapel Gallery or looking for seasonal, climate-friendly catering for your office or nearby event.
From birthday parties and work gatherings to corporate brunches, private supper clubs, and sandwich deliveries, we’ve got you covered. We specialise in fresh, flavourful food with an ethical touch and always tailored to your needs.
