Coffee Fix At Esters

I love discovering something special right on my own doorstep. I recently found this lovely little coffee shop called Esters. It's less than 5 minutes walk from my house, tucked away on a residential street next to a pub. Actually, my husband found it and raved about their flat whites all week long. On Sunday morning, we wandered over. I waited outside with the dog while the family went in for coffees and hot chocolates. I got to admire the simple but sweet exterior and logo and couldn't help snapping a photo for Instagram and Twitter (I'm @lifeunstyled on both). They also serve St. John's doughnuts which are pretty spectacular if you like a chewy, sugary jam doughnut as I do. Being from St. John, they are not your average doughnuts; unusual filling flavours like rhubarb and salted caramel custard take these to another level. 

You can find Esters at 55 Kynaston Road in Stoke Newington, North London. If you're in the area, bundle up, grab some coffee and the paper, head to Clissold Park and park yourself on a bench. Nothing better.
