Coffee and Cones

You're wandering down Fieldgate Street in Whitechapel, past the mix of old and new that makes this corner of East London feel properly lived-in, when you spot Coffee and Cones. It's exactly what it says on the tin—a no-fuss operation where you can get a decent flat white and then immediately make a solid decision about what flavour cone you're having. The place has that easy-going vibe of somewhere that knows what it does and doesn't overcomplicate it. Locals clearly rate it (305 reviews speak volumes), so it's become the kind of spot you pop into on your way somewhere else, or specifically make the trip for if you're after ice cream that doesn't taste like chemicals.
