    Coffee and book option in this adorable coffee spot. They sell books for very cheap - £1 for paperback or £3 for hardcover books

    Your coffee will taste better after you read their story. A not-for-profit organization, the coffee place you need to go if you need one when you're in Shoreditch.

    Coffee with a mission”. Good coffee & cozy little place to sit & sip your coffee while reading a book. Friendly staff who are welcoming. Paper and Cup is a non profit organisation.

    A lovely coffee shop that's a hidden gem in the Shoreditch area. Excellent flat whites and pastries available here and friendly staff! Free wifi and great value too. Enjoy getting lost in their books!

    Cosy and peaceful coffee shop with light blue facade. Always a good idea to visit on a rainy day and read a book by the window accompanied by black Americano☕️

    Perfect place for a morning coffee. Always friendly staff, and nice to watch the world walk past while sitting at the window. Good croissants too.

    Amazing flat white and a brownie to die for. Loved the outside seatings, but the interior is even better IMO. definitely worth a visit

    Cute, cozy coffee shop. The vegan cinnamon rolls are amazing. Worth traveling for. Far better than Nordic Bakery.

    Vegan cinnamon buns! I believe the only place in London where they're available. And they are delicious indeed.

    Super delicious brownies, perfect mix of crusty top and softness inside. Get ready for a sugar rush! Staff is amazingly nice as well.

    The flat white is pretty good. Buy some coffee beans while you're here for a Paper & Cup experience at home.
