About this space

Introducing Être, a fresh and inviting coffee shop, where we take pride in serving specialty coffees, a delightful array of hot beverages, and premium baked goods. Our cozy café is conveniently situated between Whitechapel and Aldgate East stations.

Être encapsulates the essence of French charm and warmth, making it the perfect venue for friendly and tranquil gatherings. We welcome events with a maximum capacity of 15 people, providing a relaxed and inviting atmosphere for your special occasions.

First, you are drawn in by the warm colours. The space opens up and guides you within the fold of the main counter, greeted by the barista, to choose your perfect coffee and pick a treat.

If the coffee aromas and the scent of fresh baked goods make you wish you to linger a while you can pop down your laptop and catch up with work, or pick up a book and enjoy a moment just for yourself. If you sit at the large table, on the curved banquette, you may share a moment with new faces, or catch up with friends.

Looking up, you may gaze at the flow of customer swirling in and out, admire the barista perform latte art, and keeping an eye over the counter where the fresh bakery is happening. It is a one of-a-kind moment, enough to let go and just be.

But you are not idle. You have a busy day ahead, so perhaps perching on a high stool, sipping espresso whilst watching the world go by is becoming your best new routine.

About Être

Welcome to our coffee shop, where the art of interior design meets the essence of human connection. From the very inception of our space, our vision was clear — to create an environment that would transcend mere bricks and mortar and evolve into a heartfelt sanctuary, fostering bonds and kindling conversations.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, every element of our interior design serves a purpose — to beckon individuals from all walks of life, inviting them to pause, savour the rich aromas, and relish in the warmth of shared moments. Step inside, and you will discover how every hue, every texture, and every carefully curated piece was thoughtfully woven together to transform this coffee shop into an inviting haven, where friendships brew and memories blossom.

Our charming coffee shop is located between Aldgate East station and Whitechapel station, just a short 10-minute stroll away.
