Yaseen RoccaSeptember 6, 2014Perfect 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!
Hannah DukeSeptember 11, 2014The 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!).
C LMay 31, 2016Rustic hideaway cafe with vintage lounge, down to earth outdoor area and venue hire with homemade cakes, coffee, healthy meals and alcohol all day- Jodie GallagherOctober 28, 2014Great 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.
Eva SchnarrenbergerMarch 31, 2016The coolest terrace in Dalston. Grab a coffee and go enjoy the sun with a nice read or some friends !
All Day BreakfastAugust 19, 2014Great 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.
MaríaNovember 30, 2014If I had to choose a last meal before execution, I would definitely go for these guys' banana cake.
Joe PeachAugust 10, 2014Great quality meats at this place, but the veggie options are even better. Especially the spicy black beans. Perfect for brunch.- Caroline SchreiberMarch 4, 2016Great veggie breakfast ... As don't get me started on the gluten free salted caramel brownie....
Michelle WildJuly 13, 2015Amazing space but breakfast were stone cold on a quiet day no apology from staff when we asked for it to be heated up.
Jonathan MelhuishApril 9, 2012Wonderful food, polite staff, chilled vibe. Not loads of vegan options but they're quite happy to customise to your requirements.
Husni AmirullahOctober 18, 2015Not a vego by any stretch of the imagination but the veggie breakfast is on point. Coffee is good too
Saikat ChakrabartiSeptember 10, 2013Big space, lots of couches, good coffee, free WiFi, lots of outlets, and open late everyday except Monday.
Grant PalmerMay 11, 2013Friendly staff with ale tastings! The blood orange & chocolate cake was scarily good!
James CordwellJanuary 15, 2012Not easy to find but worth the effort (best approached via the northernmost pedestrian tunnel from Hackney Downs).
Possibly my new favourite Hackney coffee house - just off the park, through the tunnel : )
Joe TFebruary 5, 2014Some 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.
Paul DaviesSeptember 15, 2012Heuvos Benedictos; amazing Latino version of Eggs Benedict with chorizo
Tony BlankAugust 7, 2014The rabbit was.. Not fantastic, but the rest of the food looked good. Hipster menu though...
Maris SkujinsJune 18, 2012Werrry long service, don't plan a quick lunch here. Lots of space to improve.
Andrea SplendianiDecember 1, 2013It's nice. But possibly because they are understuffed, they are horribly, terribly, slow.

Chloe McCloskey - 8.0
"Really like this place! Good vibes, big outdoor area and tasty burgers supplied by Burger & Beyond. Two burgers & fries for £12 on Mondays!"
