Leila McAlister's eclectic store has the nous to distinguish between crusty and gooey brownies and offer customers the choice. There are fresh, seasonal fruit and veg, breads and cheeses, French sunflower oil (sold from large plastic bottles), and bags of marcona almonds. Among the packaged groceries are Chegworth Farm juices, chutneys, jams and the like from Tracklements in Wiltshire. After you've stocked up, head to the café next door for simple but utterly delicious brunch and lunch fodder.

5/5

I found this cute place while exploring Shoreditch the other weekend. Well worth a visit for brunch or a coffee+cake (top marks for the coffee). And the organic shop next door looks well-stocked. I've already returned once and will keep going back.
