When I first found Palm Vaults over on Instagram they jumped straight to the top of my 'to visit' list the next time I was in London. I spent far too long scrolling through their feed of mouth watering treats, multi-coloured coffees and absolutely splendid decor which is crawling with greenery and overgrown foliage; this place was already my home from home and I hadn't even had the chance to visit. Their dedication to aesthetic as well as food and drink is obvious, but I dig that.
So a few weeks ago I was invited to Citadel Festival in Victoria Park, which was conveniently just a 10 minute bus journey from Palm Vaults. Needless to say, I seized the chance to organise brunch with Kaye before we headed to the festival and luckily she was just as enthusiastic as me to drop by once she'd had a scroll through their social media channels. If there's one thing to commend Palm Vaults on, it's their marketing via word of mouth. I've seen their signature green plants and pale pink decor consistently plastered all over my social feed for weeks on end as people take a mini pilgrimage to Hackney to snap a photo of their perfect pink public loo (myself included).
