About Kahaila in Brick Lane

Kahaila introduced itself to Brick Lane in the summer of 2012 with red velvet cake and coffee. It describes itself as a café, a church and a charity, and says it has helped establish four charitable projects, including Luminary Bakery. The café also hosts art, music nights and private events, and is hired out for anything from council consultations to film shoots.
