Perfect desserts, good coffee (strong), and versatile sitting options that can appeal to many, incl. outdoor seating. Some okay unique food. Must try the epic cheesecake with a touch of cardamom!

The venue itself was really cool - lots of space, quirky design with heaps of outdoor seating. Perfect place for a drink on a nice day, and good spot to work for an hour with a coffee (free wifi!).

Rustic hideaway cafe with vintage lounge, down to earth outdoor area and venue hire with homemade cakes, coffee, healthy meals and alcohol all day

Great breakfast - can't fault any of it, finish it all every time. The Bloody Mary could be better though, it's on the watery side.

The coolest terrace in Dalston. Grab a coffee and go enjoy the sun with a nice read or some friends !
All Day BreakfastAugust 19, 2014
Great food, excellent vegetarian options but so understaffed and they know it, which comes across as an aloof way to continually operate. Meals took over an hour, ingredients & drinks were missed.

If I had to choose a last meal before execution, I would definitely go for these guys' banana cake.

Great quality meats at this place, but the veggie options are even better. Especially the spicy black beans. Perfect for brunch.

Great veggie breakfast ... As don't get me started on the gluten free salted caramel brownie....
Michelle WildJuly 13, 2015
Amazing space but breakfast were stone cold on a quiet day no apology from staff when we asked for it to be heated up.

Wonderful food, polite staff, chilled vibe. Not loads of vegan options but they're quite happy to customise to your requirements.

They do breakfast very well and it is dog friendly :-)

Not a vego by any stretch of the imagination but the veggie breakfast is on point. Coffee is good too

Big space, lots of couches, good coffee, free WiFi, lots of outlets, and open late everyday except Monday.
Grant PalmerMay 11, 2013
Friendly staff with ale tastings! The blood orange & chocolate cake was scarily good!
Marius ComperMarch 26, 2016
Great music, great atmosphere, great art on the walls.

Not easy to find but worth the effort (best approached via the northernmost pedestrian tunnel from Hackney Downs).

Great vibe, nice people and amazing venues

Possibly my new favourite Hackney coffee house - just off the park, through the tunnel : )

Some of the Staff are incredibly rude and the food is distinctly average.....their discount offer for bringing five friends along says all you need to know. Shame because it can be so much better.
Henrique XavierFebruary 24, 2015
Cool alternative ambiance, good apple crumble.
Paul DaviesSeptember 15, 2012
Heuvos Benedictos; amazing Latino version of Eggs Benedict with chorizo
margheritaSeptember 13, 2015
Great spot for the little ones to enjoy

The chocolate three ways dessert is intensely good!
Nikki CochraneJanuary 31, 2014
Love this place! Hackney Downs best kept secret

Celtic-themed night - great music and good food
Tony BlankAugust 7, 2014
The rabbit was.. Not fantastic, but the rest of the food looked good. Hipster menu though...
Alex JarvisJuly 5, 2013
Lovely venue, food was disappointing. Would go back though!
Nichola NaylonNovember 10, 2013
Extremely lovely little venue.
Maris SkujinsJune 18, 2012
Werrry long service, don't plan a quick lunch here. Lots of space to improve.

Soooooo good, but sooooo understaffed!
Andrea SplendianiDecember 1, 2013
It's nice. But possibly because they are understuffed, they are horribly, terribly, slow.
