A stylish bakery and cafe with a welcoming vibe, serving fresh, delicious dishes and heavenly pastries in a chic, industrial space.
"In the growing category of all-day-bakeries-cum-wine-bars-cum-small-plates-restaurants, Jolene was one of the first to do it properly. It holds a soft spot for dog-lovers, new parents, and pastry lovers alike, and a visit to Newington Green never feels wasted here." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"This all-day café and bakery on Newington Green is open on a collection and takeaway basis only. It’s just 10am till 3pm for now, with baked goods, wine, and food to go on offer, but there’s talk of dinner time pick-up service coming soon." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"The team behind Jolene, Western’s Laundry and Primeur are coordinating with local food charities to provide meals for vulnerable people impacted by the ongoing crisis. Donations will help them bulk buy raw ingredients from their regular suppliers. Find out more here." - rianne shlebak
"Jolene is the sort of place that we'd all love to have at the end of our street. It's a bakery first and foremost, selling wonderful pastries, biscuits and cakes – as well as delicious bread from flour they mill themselves. There's also a daily written blackboard menu of confidently executed sharing plates, with their house-made pasta something of a feature. The vibe is relaxed and the friendly service team will ensure you're well looked after. You can find more of the same at their Hornsey Road branch." - Michelin Inspector
"Available from their Newington Green, Shoreditch, and Islington bakeries, Jolene’s sandwich is a classic combination on sourdough: smoked chicken, onion and sage mayo, pickled red cabbage, and cranberry sauce. You can’t go wrong, really." - Jake Oliver
