Café Oto near Dalston Kingsland railway station is my favourite place to spend a Sunday these days. It's spacious, friendly and no-one bothers you for having just one coffee in many hours. One of the least commercially driven places around.
It's very human, very handmade. You get free WIFI with every order you place and the staff will hand you a little strip of paper with the name of the network and the password on it. And it's handwritten with a bllpen. Every one of them.
It's funny but that makes a difference. Printed in Times New Roman on a sheet of paper, copied dozen times, it wouldn't be as nice and heartfelt. A pleasant occurrence of inefficiency.
