Your Cosy Corner in Shoreditch: How to Spend a Slow Winter Day with Franze & Evans

When winter sets in across East London, Shoreditch shifts gears. The pace slows, the skies soften, and the streets carry that crisp December air. Whether you're wandering Redchurch Street in search of gifts, or simply looking for a warm spot to settle in with something satisfying—Franze & Evans is your cosy corner, ready and waiting.

Here’s how to make the most of a slow winter day in Shoreditch—with a little help from our artisan kitchen.

Start Your Morning Gently

Forget the rush. Drift in when you're ready—no bookings here, just walk in, find a seat, and let the world slow down around you. The aroma of freshly ground coffee and toasted country loaf sets the scene. For breakfast, you might start with our French Toast topped with banana, blueberries, and maple syrup, or the Chilli Scrambled Eggs on toast with spinach and parmesan—comfort on a plate.

A Warm Drink to Hold Onto

Nothing says “pause” like a well-made hot drink on a cold day. Our baristas are pouring everything from smooth flat whites to Turmeric Lattes and rich Hot Chocolates, each one a hand-warming hug in a cup. Take your time—our café buzzes with just enough life to feel alive, but never rushed.

A Shoreditch Stroll

After your first course of comfort, step outside and explore. Redchurch Street is full of design stores, boutiques, and galleries—perfect for picking up unique gifts or simply wandering aimlessly under twinkling lights. Columbia Road is just a short stroll away for more festive energy, especially on weekends.

Come Back for a Lazy Lunch

You’ve earned it. Slide back into your spot for a long lunch—perhaps the Gnocchi di Patate with roasted butternut squash and toasted walnuts, or the hearty F&E Vegan Brunch with roast tomatoes, borlotti beans and garlic mushrooms. Pair it with a crisp Hugo Spritz or a classic Bloody Mary, because December calls for small celebrations.

Cosy, Every Day

Franze & Evans is more than a brunch stop—it’s a soft place to land on cold London days. Whether you're local or just visiting, you're welcome to drop in, warm up, and make Shoreditch feel like home for a little while.

We’re open daily from 9:30am. Walk-ins only.
