Double Bubble

the tea here is worth paying attention to. double bubble sits on kings road in e4, a stretch of east london that doesn't get much coffee press, which makes finding a spot with genuinely notable tea all the more satisfying. most specialty cafes treat tea as an afterthought, something to appease the one person in a group who doesn't drink espresso. this place doesn't do that. if you're used to bagged tea served lukewarm in a paper cup, the difference here will be obvious pretty quickly. the local reputation has built steadily and quietly, the kind that comes from people coming back rather than from a single viral moment. kings road, e4, on a slow afternoon, with a proper cup of tea in hand.
