Kahaila Cafe

“Great coffee, kind service, warm and relaxed atmosphere.”

David Handler★★★★★

Cool space! Coffee was okay but the baked goods were fantastic. Got some chocolate cake with bits of biscoff cookie in it. Wish I went again to try some of their other things (but I guess that's a reason to go back)

(12/28/25) scrumptious carrot cake !!! moist, not too sweet, decent size and fairly priced (£4.50 to go). quite a nice place too, i might dine in next time since i've gravitated towards brick lane more and more these last few months

A friend recommended this place, so I came to check it out. Lovely spot, and I really respect that it’s run by a charity, that’s not an easy thing to keep going, and it shows in the warmth of the place. I’d read it was laptop-friendly when it’s not too busy, and I saw another customer working on hers, so I assumed it was fine to do the same. A little later I was asked not to use mine. That’s completely okay, every café sets its own rules, but I’d have appreciated being treated consistently with other guests.
