Stokey High Street Goes Upmarket

Lemon Monkey is a little gastro-cafe-shop with a big communal table in the window and shelves stocked high with the fanciest organic, fairtrade, rainforest alliance certified, local produce. A typical Stoke Newington affair, really.
The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, especially considering the location on a busy bendy-bus route, at least when I visited on a Sunday afternoon. Most of the clientele seemed to have drifted in from the organic supermarket and trendy homewares stores on nearby Church Street.
The range of both packaged and freshly prepared food is impressive, but the ethical and healthy ranges stocked come at the usual premium.
Overall, a pleasant spot worth a visit to pick up some ethical mozzarella, have a cup of tea and work on the Guardian crossword.
