    You have to venture inside to appreciate this beautiful large quirky space. Shop front has no seating, but go on through after you've ordered at the counter and you'll find yet another room...and then another. Well worth an investigation, wonderfully decorated, lots of seating, some really comfortable chairs too...coffee was great. When we visited on a Sunday, there was no food, only coffee was being served and a few cakes. I had a Cortado, would have preferred it in a smaller cup or glass...my companion ordered a flat white which was unusually served in a lovely small cup, while my Cortado came in the big glass, didn't look so nice. But like I said...it tasted GREAT, strong and smooth and that's what counts. Highly recommended. Thanks guys ✨

    I cannot rate this place as a coffee shop/ restaurant as I was only in the city for a wedding with this being the venue. On that note, as a wedding venue, what a marvelous time had. The space is lovely, the food fabulous and the service attentive. When next in the area, will definitely stop in for coffee and a bite.

    It's a very friendly and quiet coffee place in the middle of Hackney. Filled with plants and a very chilled atmosphere, it is the best spot for a snack while you check your emails or simply enjoy the stillness of the greens during a day off. Coffee, cold drinks and pastries served with a smile... carrot walnut cake is a must try. Highly recommended!

    Our daughter had her wedding at The Hackney in June and it's a brilliant venue. My daughter chose it because it's such an attractive venue with loads of character so didn't need much decoration. Hugo the event manager at the venue was amazing and the day went without a hitch. All the guests said how fantastic the venue was and the wedding as a whole. It was a brilliant day.

    Absolutely lovely coffee shop! Not only was the coffee amazing (oat milk was perfectly steamed/coffee not burned) but the sandwich (pesto & mozzarella) and pastry (lemon & olive oil cake) hit the spot:) Aside from the food and coffee, the space is amazing (lots of natural light, plants, and space to sit) and staff were friendly! I found it to be a great place for me to get work done on my laptop (free wifi). Will most definitely be back :)

    By far one of the best coffee shops in Mayfair. The attention to detail, the Grand Cru selection and just the wow of the pastries. If you realize that there is life beyond Starbucks and you want to try a quality luxury (not expensive) cafe. Stop by. It was my daily commuter vice.

    They go to great lengths to make the coffee exactly the same everytime. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would have to say that this is one of the best coffee emporium I have visited.

    I photographed Ash & Bex's wedding and fell in love with the cool and stylish vibes of the venue. The lighting and greenery is gorgeous. You don't even need that much decoration. The couple just added a few sunflowers which gave the venue a pop of colour. Highly recommend this venue for your next event! Grace Pham Photography

    This place was a gem find whilst I was shopping for house plants. This part of London's full of plant shops and you can see it in the venue too! Stopped for coffee and a matcha and had the best mocha ever made. The matcha latte was good too. The mocha was very smooth and one can tell the coffee was well blended and high quality. Their interior really embraces the rustic East London aesthetic. I'l have to stop by again for brunch. Highly recommend.

    Replaced my wife's drink for free with no questions she ordered a vanilla latte, but didn't like the milk they used. She got the milk replaced with coconut milk. My latte was nice too. Cute place.

    Beautiful place, in front of a busy avenue, but still so you feel calm and relaxed inside. We had some toasties and coffee, everything full of flavour, wonderful quality coffee and ingredients. You can feel the fresh taste when enjoying your meal. Staff so polite, friendly and helpful.

    Very quiet when we went on a Sunday morning at 10.45am. lovely building and very spacious. Has an outdoor area. Great coffee. Saw about it on the OneZone app and had been meaning to go for a while. Glad we finally made it.

    Good coffee, good service and the mozzarella sandwich was really tasty. Small and cozy place.

  • 4/5 Honor S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a lovely environment with a good set up for people looking to work on laptops. Sky lights make it bright and hanging plants add a good vibe. I went in the afternoon and the cafe was pretty empty and quiet. Lots of gluten free cake options but weren't serving food. They closed at 4pm. Quite expensive but I would go back.

  • 5/5 Jean W. 2 years ago on Google
    Have Outdoor cozy seatings at the back, very friendly staff! Love the atmosphere, music playing in the background, outdoor kitchen which you can see. Food are fresh and delicious but very limited, would expect more due to the higher end prices. Would recommend this place if you're looking for something not too crowded and relax atmosphere.

    Salmon sandwich soooo tasty, cannot find anything better than they make.

  • 2/5 Salma A. 2 years ago on Google
    I attended an event here. The manager came across as quite aggressive which made myself and a few other guests to feel quite unease. Some of the staff were lovely and helpful. I am not sure I would come back to this place as it isn't the most welcoming . I thought I was being harsh but I noticed on tripadvisor that other guests had the same issues with the managers. It's a shame really as the venue is nice.

    Cosy Sunday. I’d return here with my laptop next time if only they were allowed on weekends! Thanks for the feature on IG.

  • 5/5 Maya Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cute cafe in Hackney! Their beetroot latte is great and tumeric latte was so colourful! A great selection of drinks and food. The cafe also turns into a bar which I want to check out!

  • 4/5 Matthew W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, nice ambience with all the plants in the back room. Would go here a lot more often if they had more/better food options at lunchtime. Right now it's some so-so sandwiches sitting out on the counter, not bad exactly but also not good enough to say "let's go THERE for lunch!".

  • 5/5 Grant S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the perfect venue for my grandson's relaxed wedding. The food was amazing and the service exemplary. The staff couldn't have done more for us. A lovely setting !

  • 5/5 Andreas G. 5 years ago on Google
    A hidden gem in the heart of Mayfair. Only six seats inside (so be careful and avoid peak times if you intend to sit in) but also 3 tables outside. Wide variety of salads and generous portions. I love the sandwich of the day and the ham and cheese croissants. The 4 seats looking outside at Park Lane are amazing. Staff extremely kind and helpful.
