Whereas, the food menu consists of a base of Hot Cross Bun accompanied by some unexpected flavours.

According to the Big 4 grocer, the new venue is arguably set to be one of London’s most ‘Instagrammable’ venue, which is why the café is equipped with floral designs on the outside of the store and dotted around the site.

The café can be found at 46 Great Eastern St, London EC2A 3EP for one week only.
