ELSEWHERE: else where - ZAO AN COFFEE 

We recently took a trip up to visit our friends @zaoancoffee to have lil chat about coffee and community. We're immensely proud to supply the wonderful team at Zao An, who have created a truly beautiful space within the @eseacommunitycentre in Hackney ♥️

Rihlan^ Zao An Coffee's manager.

The centre plays a vital role in supporting South East and East Asian communities in the Hackney area and surrounding boroughs, hosting a range of essential services, community activities and of course their well known community lunch club! (If you know, you know…)

The Mandy Yin popup community lunch^ (yum) 

Zao An Coffee functions as a relaxing safe space for members of the community and beyond to enjoy day to day - offering up hot drinks and food as well as a range of (very) fun events - think quiz nights, popups and yard sales galore.

We absolutely love this space, as well as the dedicated team who keep it running and really wanted to shine a light on the amazing work that they do! They operate as a charity and so rely on the support of the community to keep operations flowing. We urge you all to go and support this café immediately, pop in, have a pork bun and a coffee (an elite pairing) and we promise you will NOT be disappointed!!

First pic features Rihlan, Zao An’s awesome manager and the food featured comes from the wonderful Mandy Yin of @sambalshiok, which James and Mario enjoyed inhaling (what a good day it was for a pair of hungry hungry boys) x
