Yaseen Rocca: For me, it's a coffee shop within a vintage store. Almost hidden in plain sight. Great coffee, lovely desserts, friendly staff, and rustic vintage decor. Unique. Many reasons to be here!

Shawn S.: I really like this store. Tucked away in Angel, FFC has a nice collection of vintage finds ranging from wallets, jackets to knick-knacks. It is good to visit often as their wares change over time.

Lauren D: Ugh so many cute shoes, want them all!!!

Wimdu - Simply Better Than a Hotel: One of London vintage originators ! The shop is innovative but also attached to its rock’n roll heart... Cheaper than High Street and some cool lucky finds !
