F&G

Fries and gelato might sound like an unlikely pairing, but it's the whole point at F&G, a coffee shop near Whitechapel and Spitalfields that brings together British comfort food and Italian flair. Everything is built on locally-sourced ingredients, and with a 4.7 rating from 49 reviews, the combination clearly works. Unusually for the area, it stays open until 11pm most nights — handy for late cravings as much as afternoon treats.
