215 Hackney in Hackney

Assumed the ratings were fake, but the place really does serve excellent food! The coconut smoothie is probably one of the best smoothies I have ever had.

Awful overpriced vegetarian option, "scrambled tofu" was just cubes of uncooked and barely seasoned tofu.

My absolute favourite breakfast/coffee place. Granola with yogurt and Jerusalem bagel with butter are a must!

Amazing breakfast with quality ingredients. Quick service. I would highly recommend

Great stop for my morning Americano. Small, cozy cafe and as a bonus is also an eclectic bookstore. Owner is very accommodating. I'll be back soon.

Lovely indépendant find down the road from Stoke Newington station. Cakes are delicious

10 of us turned up unannounced and they managed to find room for us all. Service and food was great.

Had a very tasty and reasonably priced brunch here. Yogurt/granola was excellent

The hype is real. Everything served here is top quality at honest London prices. Totally worth.

My new favourite breakfast place. The menu is unlike anything around. Perfection.

i don’t get the hype, not great coffee.

An unforgettable breakfast. The hummus, flavors, and textures brought back the best memories of Jerusalem. Every bite was a joy.

Absolutely outstanding! 215 is a true gem for Middle Eastern cuisine in Stoke Newington. Every dish bursts with authentic flavours from across the region-think shakshuka, homemade hummus, and their signature Baklawa French Toast, which is an absolute must-try. The menu is inventive and caters to all, with excellent vegetarian options, and the portions are generous enough to share. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cosy, community-driven vibe that makes you want to linger over coffee and conversation. The staff are friendly and attentive - and their make love not war ethos is great. A word to the wise: 215 is very popular, and the space is on the smaller side, so it’s best to reserve a table in advance-especially if you’re coming with a group. While it can be a bit tricky to seat more than four people due to the layout, it’s definitely not impossible; just book ahead. If you love bold Middle Eastern flavours and a relaxed, local feel, 215 is the place to be. Already planning my next visit!

Incredible food, lovely service. Baklava and shakshuka slap, would recommend

Delicious breakfast and lovely staff!

Super delicious hummus and salad !! We really enjoyed our meal. I recommend the Jerusalem ! Only comment is I expected 2 eggs but it’s just one boiled egg cut in half haha, but very delicious

Food was great! The Baklawa French Toast is a real standout – definitely their signature dish.

Cosy cafe with great coffee, pastries and great eats.

Best coffe shop in stoke newington 😉

It’s a nice little local place.

An original menu and delicious food. The atmosphere is really welcoming as well. highly recommend it here!

The most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had

Excellent cafe in Stoke Newington. We had a great time, service was good and the food was amazing!

Best Place in complete London. Service best. People Maximum!

Great brunch, nice place, great service. Higly recommend the Hackney Feast brunch!

The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The ambiance was stylish and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a great meal. Highly recommend!

My favorite breakfast spot in Stokey. The latkes are a thing of beauty - perfectly crunchy. Fudgiest egg and tastiest eggplant in the shakshuka sabih. And the earthy sweet tahini mulberry pot in the marhaba platter? Don’t get me started.

This was one of the best breakfast I ever had! The baklava french toast has almost brought me to tears. The meals are very big and you can easily share most of them if you want a small breakfast. Reservations are for an hour and the service is really nice. The food here is amazing, the halloumi is crunchy, chewy and soft and works perfect with the rose jam. Also the specialty hot drinks are delicious. I would give this place 6 stars if I could and I rarely dish out 5.

Simply stunning! The brunch plates are generous and delicious, and the staff really lovely.

Came in for breakfast, excellent meal and service. Highly recommend the tahini maple latte!

Perfect cafe. Fair prices. Clean and friendly 👌

We had the best brunch here , must try the morning Palestine and marhaba. !! Will visit again

You need to make reservation. The food was amazing. There's a cool used bookshop next to it too.

Buena comida y buen ambiente. Recomiendo encarecidamente las tostadas francesas baklava y el festín hackney. ¡Los batidos también fueron muy agradables!

Best breakfast I’ve had in London!

Encantador interior con comida aún mejor, tostadas francesas baklava es defo para compartir como no podía acabar conmigo mismo. La única desventaja era que el servicio era bastante antipático, chica que nos recibió era un poco alérgico a sonreír.

Lovely interior with even better food, baklava french toast is defo for sharing as couldn’t finish myself. Only downside was the service was pretty unfriendly, girl who greeted us was bit allergic to smiling.

Wonder brunch in London, love every dishes and the Hackney feast is amazing!

我愿称发明中东风味英国brunch的第一人是天才！！ 🍅🍳北非蛋我真的吃之前不屑一顾第一口一见如故，番茄酱配鸡蛋又埋了一根辣香肠配着韧韧的馕饼🫓没有比这更配中国胃的了。 🥣朋友点的特有full english（hackney feast）上来满满一巨盆，非大食量慎点，大食量我算你碰到自己的天堂了，土豆丝饼被我夺去一块，非常好吃，他们的baked beans也不是英国人的罐头豆🥫而是自己用番茄煮的白芸豆……白芸豆诶糯糯的好好吃！培根香肠不作额外形容了，我很爱吃肉。 🍹思慕西 我点的kale🥬朋友点的牛油果🥑大家放心冲！有蔬菜纤维但又是香香甜甜的果汁！一日蔬菜摄入完又好喝又好💩

Una experiencia gastronómica absolutamente maravillosa en 215 Hackney! Me sorprendió gratamente el ambiente acogedor y único: las paredes están decoradas con libros antiguos, dándole un toque natural y local. Hoy probé su té, que era absolutamente delicioso, y me encantó especialmente el salmón en la pastelería — ¡era tan fragante y fresco, verdaderamente un punto culminante! El personal era increíblemente amable y servicial. Hubo un pequeño problema con mi reserva, pero dos servidores encantadores y atentos fueron más allá para resolverlo rápidamente e incluso me ayudaron a asegurar una mesa. Su calidez y profesionalidad hicieron la experiencia aún mejor. El menú ofrece una gran variedad de opciones, y todo lo que probamos era delicioso y lleno de sabor. Los precios son razonables también, alrededor de £ 20 por persona, y los postres en exhibición se veían increíbles — sin duda volver a probarlos la próxima vez!

An absolutely wonderful dining experience at 215 Hackney! I was pleasantly surprised by the cozy and unique atmosphere—the walls are decorated with old books, giving it a natural and local feel. Today, I tried their tea, which was absolutely delightful, and I especially loved the salmon in the pastry—it was so fragrant and fresh, truly a highlight! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. There was a small issue with my reservation, but two lovely and attentive servers went above and beyond to resolve it quickly and even helped me secure a table. Their warmth and professionalism made the experience even better. The menu offers a great variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious and full of flavor. The prices are reasonable too, around £20 per person, and the desserts on display looked amazing—definitely coming back to try those next time! Highly recommend 215 Hackney for the food, atmosphere, and exceptional service. A must-visit spot!

Shakshuka A tomato-rich North African egg dish, with an added portion of Halloumi cheese. Baklava French Toast Their signature fancy toast~ French toast topped with a thick layer of pistachio cream, fried to a crispy exterior and tender inside, with a hint of rose and nutty aroma. I’d love it even more if they used Hokkaido milk bread. Beetroot Salmon Sabich A Middle Eastern-style sandwich. Pita bread filled with marinated salmon, tahini, and beetroot. The new chocolate drink is really delicious.

delicious and well-presented brunch—crispy bacon, juicy sausage, perfectly cooked eggs, and flavorful baked beans. The hash browns were super crispy, and the fresh juice was refreshing. Great service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!

¡Buen almuerzo local! Personal encantador y buena comida! Muy recomendable. Solo hay que mencionar que es un lugar acogedor y mejor para las reservas.

The food was really amazing, arrived fast, was warm and fresh and the ingredients felt really high quality. The service was not great, the waitresses were a bit grumpy… but overall the food is so good it doesn’t matter.

An absolutely wonderful brunch experience! Booked a table easily and served quickly with amazing food and signature drinks! Staff were super friendly. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, generous portions

Amazing food at very reasonable price! Hackney feast is the must have. Love the Coco Loco. Will come back defo!

Amazing food and service! The Marhaba was 10/10

Absolutely delicious food, had the marhaba and the tahini maple latte which was so tasty. The staff were all lovely. Would absolutely recommend this place.

Fantastic brunch spot. Something different and very authentic! The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend

Highly recommended!! Best brunch in London

Amazing cozy spot in stoke Newington "Marhaba" is my favourite dish by far Highly recommended cafe

🔥 **Must-Try Combos** 🔥 **Hackney Feast** – Reinvented Full English✨ ▪️ Runny yolk sunnyside egg + smoky bacon + homemade baked beans (less sweet, more depth!) ▪️ Crispy zucchini/carrot fritters > basic hash browns ▪️ Pro tip: Mix mushroom juices + tomato + beans on sourdough – umami bomb! **Marhaba ** – Mediterranean vibes🌿 ▪️ Toasted sesame bagel stuffed with mint yogurt chicken, roasted peppers, cucumber + pomegranate crunch 🍹 **Drink Pairings** 🍹 **Berry Go Around**: mixed berries fizz (cuts through grease!) **Passionfruit Pash**: pineapple + mango +passionfruit in a sip! 📌 **Tips** ✓ Meatlovers & health nuts both happy ✓ Add extra fritters (trust us) ✓ £15pp · Hackney’s artsy lanes ⚠️ Warning: Insta-bragging guaranteed.

My assessment is as follows ▫️baklawa french toast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ To be sure, baklawa is a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dessert characterized by layers of crispy puff pastry and nuts and honey. This combination of French toast, pastry, pistachio cream and granules, toast, honey, rose petals to create a dessert, texture and flavor levels are very rich, very surprising! ▫️hackney feast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As shown in the picture, much better than an English breakfast in the city centre hahaha. It is recommended to eat while hot, especially the potato cake is very fragrant, the amount is large, and two people can eat one portion ▫️Smoothies⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ This small sweet water is unique, unlike other brunch shops, which are a little monotonous. I ordered Mango Matcha and Coco loca, which are quite surprising. -

The food was delicious; I really enjoyed the baklawa French toast! Service and atmosphere inside the café were great.

great brunch！yummy yummy^_^delicious

215 Hackney is a lovely café with a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. We tried the Beetroot Cured Salmon, Baklawa French Toast, and a glass of fresh orange juice. The Beetroot Cured Salmon came in a soft, homemade pitta with house-cured salmon, fermented veggies, and tahini spread. The flavors were well-balanced—fresh, slightly tangy, and rich in umami. The tahini added a nice creaminess, making the dish even more satisfying. The Baklawa French Toast was a delightful surprise. The brioche was soft and fluffy, complemented by pistachio cream and crispy filo layers, adding an interesting contrast in textures. The orange and saffron drizzle gave it a fragrant, slightly citrusy touch, making it not overly sweet—perfect for sharing. The fresh orange juice was refreshing and naturally sweet, a great addition to the meal. Overall, the food was creative and well-executed, making 215 Hackney a great spot for brunch lovers looking for something a bit different!

The latkes were super crispy and really flavorful, and the Baklawa French toast was creamy, and perfectly sweet with the pistachio and saffron. Loved both!

I had a delicious brunch here - ordered the Morning Palestine and Marhaba and I know I will be telling all my friends to check this place out. Both the dishes were very well balanced using simple ingredients paired very well together. This place is surely one of the best Middle Eastern brunches I’ve had in London. The cafe is small and it’s often hard to get a table so would recommend booking in advance but very well worth the wait and planning.

A great place for vegan breakfast or brunch. The employees seemed a little overwhelmed, but overall it was very nice and tasty. The design of the café is very nice and you can sit there very comfortably. There really is a lot to choose from! The prices are okay too.

Really lovely cafe, fantastic warm hospitality and the tastiest food and coffee. One of my favs in the area ❤️

Lovely spot in hackney. Take it from a hackney original. The special latte was incredible

The best place for brunch in East London!!

A very distinctive Middle Eastern brunch with a rich combination of dishes and exquisite handmade sauces😍The halwa hot chocolate with a rich nutty aroma☕️ and the refreshing avo gogo🍵are highly recommended🤩

The shakshuka was really nice, and I recommend you to add both halloumi and the sausage

Gorgeous little place. And I mean small so might be worth booking. We walked in around midday and were seated, filled up fast. Super clean and comfy. Food was delicious and fresh and very ample portions. I had the Hackney Feast breakfast and my son had the vegan version. Both were lovely. Absolutely worth a visit if you’re local.

absolutely amazing food, coffee/tea and pretty quick service! a must if you're in london

literally the best food i ever had. would highly recommend!!!! everything was beyond perfect.

I was pleasantly surprised by this cafe! The walls are decorated with old books, giving it a natural and local feel. I love the Halwa Hot Chocolate, it's so thick and creamy that it's like a yoghurt texture, and it smells so good! My friend and I chose the Shakshuka and the Jerusalem, both served with some pittas, which tasted very exotic ~ you can get a lot of ingredients at once! Overall very recommended! Loved the atmosphere, about £20 per person ~ on the way out looked at the desserts in the display case by the door which were also affordable and big, next time come back!!! ......

Have to try the French toast, superb!!

delicious food and great vegetarian and vegan options. try the sesame maple latte and morning palestine

The food is so good and flavourful. I had the tahini and maple latte and the dish that starts with an M on the menu and loved it.

Ordered two hot drinks and a cake. Service was terrible, ladies were very rude to us. Was given the wrong order at the end of it. Definitely not happy.

215 Hackney was worth every minute of our hour-long journey. The items offered on their menus were truly a delight, and the warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Hands down the best breakfast I have had in London.

🫶Definitely gonna recommend! Recently, I found a Middle Eastern brunch in Hackney. I am tired of eating the same Full English Breakfast which costs £10.5 and £12 at every turn. Today, I want to change my taste with my friend from the same city. A friend who lives in North London said that this shop is delicious in its blind spots, and we started by following doctor's orders (no. My friend ordered the main Hackney feast, and I ordered the marharba. 🥓 Hackney Feast: A Pro Version of the classic English breakfast This dish is full of meat! Organic cumberland sausage served with greasy orange juice. Bite into it while it's hot! The roasted tomatoes and mushrooms were tender and juicy. The sweetness of the tomato and the saltiness of the bacon intertwine in a rich layer of flavor that completely breaks the monotony of the traditional English breakfast. Fresh sourdough bread topped with long-simmered traditional chickpeas gives you a boost to get through the day. 🐑 Marhaba: A tingle of Middle Eastern flavor If you also like to try different flavors, Marhaba is a must! Delicious! 🥹 I originally ordered this dish for two pieces of grilled cheese 🧀, but it turned out that the bread was also delicious. Although it felt a little hard at first, the Greek yogurt was really wonderful after dipping. They gave away two kinds of dippers. When you're tired of big chunks of red meat, it's nice to scoop up a refreshing Middle Eastern salad with a spoon 😋it's soooo Good.

Highly recommend the Tahini latte ☕️!! It has a thicker texture than regular latte but soooooo yum, you can smell and taste the tahini in it, blended in in a warm, soulful way☀️ I had a Damascus and my friend ordered the Harkney Feast. The babaganoush & hummus in the Damascus goes really well with the pita so I dived right in and didn’t worry about making my hands messy, haha! Everything’s made in the house, including tomato baked beans in the Hackney Feast🍅 it doesn’t have the fake sweetness of all canned beans and the sausage is tender & soft~ They also have no-added-sugar smoothies 🍓 which is perfect for warm weathers.

Exotic food choices and cosy atmosphere ~ I wish this place is in central London … then I’d definitely visit more often! My recommendations: Tahini latte Damascus Hackney Feast

Simply the best food in Hackney!

Great quality delicious food, with lovely staff

One of my favourite brunch places, always busy but staff always manage to squeeze you in. Food is amazing!

A very special restaurant 🍴! The brunch was absolutely delicious, 🌟with generous portions and beautifully presented dishes. My favorite was the Baklawa French Toast. It was my first time trying pistachio-flavored toast, and the crispy toast paired perfectly with the honey and pistachio-flavored cream. The flavors were incredibly rich and well-balanced. The juices were also fantastic. This place is definitely worth a visit! I also noticed some bread on display at the entrance, which you can take away.👍👍👍非常好吃的餐厅！价格也很划算～如果想吃brunch的朋友一定来试一试！人均大概15英镑💷 也有外带的面包可以选择，我觉得开心果吐司特别好吃，非常推荐呀～

The food here is not to be missed! Great flavours, good portions and culturally-inspired authenticity. A standout for me was the tahini maple coffee. So warming and delicious.

Food was great, nice to try something new! Friendly staff, good service, book if you can to ensure you get a table. Will definitely be back!

Come check out the super-looking brunch on the streets of London today. It is located not far from the city center and is easy to find. ❄️The main meal I ordered was Hackney Feast, which is a signature feature. My friend across from me ordered Hackney Vaggie Feast because it is vegetarian. As you can see in picture 1, the portion is just right. It consists of bacon, sausage, fried eggs, beans, etc. ❄️And the drink I ordered, coco loco, has a very unique taste, sour and sweet, with mango, pineapple and other flavor ingredients. ❄️btw The environment in the store is very comfortable. My friend said she loves the music here. It’s chill enough. It’s perfect for relaxing and talking with friends in your free time. ❄️There is no bustling London busy life, but a very comfortable and relaxing European comfort experience!

I'm from UAE visiting London and I reach the restaurant by chance and I love ❤️ it . I strongly recommend it. Love the staff and atmosphere there.

Fantastic menu and good vibe. Nice playlist at a good volume too. So many places get this wrong. Thanks for a really enjoyable Tuesday lunch. I'll be back

Great service and INCREDIBLE food! Perfect local spot for relaxed brunch with friends!

Such a cute little place, lovely staff and INCREDIBLE food!!!!! Shared the Damascus and the morning Palestine, both so tasty and so many different parts to enjoy!

Food is amazing!! Service is amazing!!!

Best granola I have ever had. 10/10. Top tier.
