"Put that sad family pack of Kitkats away because this Hackney bakery are delivering their white chocolate choux, vegan banana loaf, and a whole lot of other sweet treats across Hackney and London. You’ll need to give them 24 hours notice, but slide on into their DMs or give them a call on 07477462072 to order. By the way, they also do sandwiches and quiche." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Question: What do you call a person who is eating a white chocolate choux in their pyjamas? Answer: A fucking winner, that’s what. Flour And Flowers is a cute little neighbourhood coffee shop that is now delivering things like a pear and double chocolate turnover and vegan banana loaf direct to your home. If you happen to live within 10 miles of their Hackney Road café then delivery is just £2, and £3.50 for further afield. Just be sure to give them 24-hours notice." - heidi lauth beasley
"On Sundays, you can choose between Brick Lane or Columbia Road Flower Market..." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Weekly on Sundays, Columbia Road in East London's hip Shoreditch/Hackney neighborhood, transforms into a multicolored frenzy of stalls and flowers. This otherwise unassuming East End street is transformed into a swath of magnificent plant life, the air fragrant with blooms and the shouts of historic London's famous Cockney stallholders. It's as eccentric as it gets around here. You'll hear rushed deals and offers for a 'tenner' or 'fiver' (ten or five pounds) and because everything is so fresh, it's all gotta be gone by 2 p.m." - Ramsay Short, Sonya Barber
