Curio Cabal

cappuccino

An excellent little coffee shop.

Pleasant ambience both inside and the outside seating area.

An excellent cappuccino.

I thanked the barista. In part his skill, also the quality of the beans they are sourcing from Square Mile Coffee Roaster, a local coffee roaster just down the road.

The beans are on sale.

Curio Cabal, a strange name, and no, I did not ask.

Located by The Hive in Dalston, on Kingsland Road, close by the canal.

Ignore the bad reviews on TripAdvisor. I had no problems with staff, service or the coffee.

Staff were pleasant. Yes, several minutes before my cappuccino arrived, they were serving folk sat outside. And it was worth the wait, as when my cappuccino arrived, it was excellent.
