    Saw a free table so popped in for a quick drink, waitress immediately tried to give the table to some other already seated(?) customers. Then proceeded to ignore us whilst we sat there for 15 minutes. Give us absolutely nothing girl! Left and got a drink down the road at Deep Cuts immediately after, would definitely recommend going there instead!

    Lovely, tiny place with lovely plants inside. Great for a fresh juice. Free internet and good music.

    Bright, light hearted café small enough for a group chat. A few tables making it an intimate experience. Beautiful little place with lovely & friendly staff. If you love Art, there's an Exhibition going on & you're an artist, could have your work exhibited - brilliant. A+++++

    Cosy little place, with a very inviting, almost 'homely', atmosphere. Almost felt like I was visiting a friend's living room! Fully stocked bar, and a can-do attitude. I got the impression that they will make you any drink you ask for as long as they have the ingredients - in my case an old fashioned. Very reasonable prices too!! Will go again.

    Cute little multi-space. I came looking for a particular body oil by Liha, but while perusing the website ahead of time, also found a vase/vessel thing as a gift. If you don't browse before coming, you might end up grabbing all kinds knick-knacks on a whim and the place ain't cheap, so that could be devastating to the wallet. Also grabbed a hot choco while there - not sweet enough for my taste - but would like to come back at night to see what the bar vibe is like. Overall, worth a drop by for some sunshine-y, unique looks in the area.

    Had a 40th birthday party here. Diddy was super accommodating the whole evening. Would definitely be returning for drinks or venue hire. You can park on the side road from 6:30 onwards.

    Best bar in Hackney. Great beer, cocktails….and the coffee is a winner. What more could you want? Hmm ok - throw in some top draw ambience and a dash of the unexpected

    Diddys is great ! We came in a big group and had the lush fluffy downstairs room to ourselves. Cocktails were totally delish and music was banging. Thanks for having us!

    Super cute bar with amazing cocktails! (The BEST amaretto sour i’ve ever had) Diddy had super fun energy :) Never felt so safe in a bar before

    Food is iconic. The owner made me cry - with laughter. And they play hip hop. My favourite café/bar in London. Have the banana bread - you'll thank me !

    What a lovely little cocktail bar this is. Found it quite by accident. Drinks are classics served simply and they don't scrimp on the booze content. Dead cheap too! HIGHLY recommended.

    Where to begin. I already am yearning for the next chance to come to Diddy’s! The best drinks in Hackney. Strong & delicious. Spicy margaritas were phenomenal!

  • 5/5 Rupert M. 5 months ago on Google
    Great spot, Diddy is the best and makes a great espresso martini 🦦

    Really lovely little place - Lovely staff, lovely stuff. What you see is what there is. I get coffee here in the day and I come for drinks in the evening. Especially fond of all the different negronis I can get - recommend the white negroni or the boulevardier.

    Officially one of my favourite cafes in London!! The venue is initmate, the decor is impressive, it feels like being in Madrid! Their selection of drinks is pretty great too.

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Thank you for providing a charming, itchy, cool, safe haven from the overly loud and often impersonal attitude filled venues of Greater London Fields last night. Really appreciate the alternate table location and the ace margaritas. Will return.

    Had an amazing time at Diddy's! It's the perfect place to go for drinks with friends after dinner. Great music and staff is super super friendly. The drinks are very good and reasonably priced. If you're passing by you must stop for a coffee or a drink!

  • 5/5 Jenny K. 1 year ago on Google
    A gem! You can go there anytime of day for the best coffee, amazing great value cocktails, the makings of a pasta (the tinned cherry tomatoes are a favourite), and even buy a forgotten birthday present. Such a versatile space transforming from a cafe/ shop during the day to a bar at night. Great music, dancing, good vibes and if you go enough the owner even remembers your name!! Couldn't recommend it more, a true London neighbourhood spot.

    I've yet to try their cocktails but Diddy's is the absolute perfect place when you want a break. The interior is beautifully serene, music's great, and the coffee/food's affordable. <3 it!

    I've been eyeing up this place for some time now and last Saturday night I had the pleasure of finally visiting. In a strange sequence of events I found myself with a company in front of Diddy's in the late evening when the place was unusually empty, but filled with peaceful and chilled vibes that you could feel from the moment you enter, beautiful art inside, great interior design and exceptional attention to detail. I always order the same drink everywhere I go, and I have rarely had such a well made Old Fashioned cocktail in the area. Really well done throughout, good taste in music too. I was all over the playlist the guy on the bar was playing. Really cool place, with a cool owner, great atmosphere and amazing cocktails. Highly recommended! (We will be back!)
