Brick Lane Coffee have a fantastic tagline – ‘Come Happy Leave Edgy’ . On their website, they claim
Welcome to Brick Lane Coffee, where all organic milk and getting your order wrong has been our standard of excellence since 1999. We don’t preach about coffee we make coffee. We’ve got three shops scattered about the lowbrow areas (where all the action is) of the big smoke. Come find us. We’ll be waiting.

Take a couple of examples to see what I am talking about.

One of the Best Little Coffee Shops. Definitely.
