Ribbons and Taylor | Stoke Newington | East London

Climpson and Sons Cafe Church Street Stoke Newington

Set within what used to be a vintage clothing store, this cafe stands out along Stoke Newington's Church Street as a great example of an old shop front. The wooden window frames have beautiful detailing along the fringe, with red velvet curtains drawn across at night. 

The space inside is largely minimalist, with antique features dotted around - old armchairs, bevelled mirrors, and more.

Serving Climpson & Sons coffee, homemade bread, cakes and fresh juices.
