Allpress Roastery Cafe in Hackney - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Incredibly rude manager… Despite the fact that I specifically asked permission from another staff member to use my laptop for just 30mins, the manager came to the table and said they had a no laptop policy… I told her that I had already asked permission from staff, but instead of checking in with the other staff member, she “pulled rank” I guess, and said that “she was the manager”. Very unprofessional service, embarrassing for this type of place. Nope, never going back again.

Beautiful spot for breakfast and coffee in the garden. The staff were so genuinely friendly and happy even when there was a line of people out the door! Try the mix plate if you go there - my partner had it with Trout and I had it as is and they were both perfect. We shared a filter coffee and a flat white, absolutely spot on for both of them. Filter was a bit fruity and I normally like more chocolate notes but really enjoyable. I bought some beans to try and replicate at home and they gave me a sample bag of another single origin they thought I might like. Will be back :)

Waited ages, no service. Terrible experience. Go somewhere else.

Beautiful outdoor space and great coffee.

Hard to find a better consistent coffee. They always serve up quality flavour and good milk work. It’s a great strong cup as well which is always appreciated in a flat white. The milk was slightly heavy on top which is the only thing holding it back from being one of the best around. I’d give it a 8.4.

The coffee hear is great and it is interesting but way to much effort for a coffee place too expensive. Sorry not for me.

The coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is nice :) I don't recommend prosciutto in the classic plate because it doesn't seem to go well with the other ingredients. lol

First time I've been there, will definitely be going again.

These guys are superstars! Not only do I get coffee supplies for my business from here but also as a local regularly attend breakfast with there amazing toasts and needless to say coffee :)

New Zealand roasted coffee? Can’t beat it

Please do a gluten and dairy free milk! It’s a great place and next to my house, but why can’t you have a milk I can drink? Other, smaller places have soy or almond or coconut milk… also you could get a gluten free oat milk. Inclusivity is important! Your coffee is excellent!

best coffee in london! australian approved.

Exceptional place for our coffee, a savoury bite and garden delight — no wonder it’s become my local haunt. They do exceptional coffee (and decaf too! you’d be surprised how hard it is to find delicious decaf). 5 stars all round for their drinks and food. Service is a hit and a miss. The staff are friendly but also means that the cashier has a looooong queue.

It's a great place for coffee, breakfast or brunch.

The mugs keep on shrinking but the prices keep on going up. Cappuccinos in tiny coffee cups

I went there with 4 more friends. Two of them ordered a chai latte which was described as one of the best ones they've tried in London. The other two friends ordered a long black and an americano but they both received a long black. Indeed the barista said that both drinks were the same when they were not. I ordered an espresso which was what I expected for a roastery coffee place. I have to say that this is one of the most expensive cafes I've been to in London. The macchiato is my usual point of comparison, normally I pay £2.8-£3 for that but here they charge you £3.7!

Great place for a coffee and sandwich

Coffee tasted acidic and feels over extracted. Pretty busy on a weekend late afternoon

Nice coffee and pastries. Outdoor space to the front with seating and tables. Only complaint is no WiFi but I suppose that stops the buy one coffee and sit all day taking up space with a laptop crowd.

Allpress Espresso Roastery and Cafe is a true gem for coffee lovers seeking an exceptional experience. With its commitment to quality, dedication to craftsmanship, and inviting ambiance, it's a place where the simple pleasure of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee is elevated to an art form. Whether you're a seasoned coffee aficionado or just looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a cup of joe, a visit to Allpress is sure to leave you buzzing with delight.

It’s a really cool place, coffee is incredible & generally the staff seem lovely too. However on two occasions I’ve ordered a coffee for takeaway, & ended up waiting a while - the waiting is absolutely not the issue, I can see they are super busy - however I believe I have the right to ask after my flat white when it has been 18 minutes since I ordered it (& new people were receiving their orders before me), however when I politely (overly politely) ask if they could just double check my order was there - I get a “yes yes yes your coffee is coming okay we’re just busy as you can see…” Wildly rude reply when I was being really reasonable & polite, & had waited nearly 20 minutes. Such a shame that this is the attitude when customers are being smiley & nice. Hoping it changes because i would like to spend more time here

Kind service and great quality coffee. Need to nab myself some merch next time I’m there.

Every time I go there I don't like it, I don't know why. But it’s really nice to go here in the morning because it’s a cute little courtyard.

Charming coffee spot offers a delightful retreat for caffeine lovers. With its inviting outdoor seating area, it beckons patrons to unwind and savor their brew amidst a backdrop of fresh air. The outdoor seating is undoubtedly the highlight of this establishment. Tucked away from the traffic of the streets, it provides a serene oasis for those seeking a moment of tranquility. Whether you're catching up with friends or diving into a good book, the comfortable chairs and wooden tables set against a backdrop of potted plants create an ambiance that is both cozy and refreshing. Of course, the star of the show here is the coffee. Brewed to perfection, each cup is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the baristas. From rich, velvety lattes to bold, aromatic espressos, the menu boasts a variety of options to satisfy every palate. The beans are clearly of top-notch quality, resulting in a flavor profile that is robust yet smooth, leaving a lingering warmth with every sip. Equally impressive is the service. The staff here exudes genuine warmth and friendliness, making you feel right at home from the moment you step through the door. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're greeted with a welcoming smile and a genuine interest in ensuring your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Their knowledge of the menu is extensive, and they are more than happy to offer recommendations based on your preferences. This has certainly become my new favourite weekend breakfast and coffee meeting joint with my friends.

Good coffees and sweet outside area. Inside atmosphere is a bit stale and the juices are very spenny for what they are. But coffee is good, would always recommend a takeaway from here or a sit outside in the sun.

Paid 3,80£ to drink greenish hot water. Should be cheaper !!! But chai latte tastes good, would recommend.

Smells of coffee, does coffee, sells coffee.. nice place to get a cuppa

Great coffee, espresso - proper. Love the space indoors and the terrace.

Wonderful coffee, and the food is great too! Grab the mixed plate, dippy eggs or a plain croissant. Great for a brunch with family, friends or your partner. Very dog friendly too!

Nice and relaxed atmosphere with lots of space to sit inside and out. Nicely set back from the road too. I will return.

Love this place! Staff, decor, vibes all fantastic! Highly recommend!!!

Great coffee and atmosphere in this place - super great beans also. A must-visit in Dalston, especially on warmer days to sit in the garden

Such a good brunch spot with nice coffees and delicious food.

lovely smell good spot for working in a booth with delicious coffee

This is the roastery, I can’t just buy beans and go - have to be in the understaffed cafe line. Please get more staff on the weekends

Best cafe in Dalston, you can’t go wrong with their mixed plate and eggs and soldiers x

This is a great place to visit at any given time. Can be really busy but that’s only cos it’s a great vibe and with good people serving. Prices are Dalston-y but the place is great.

The place to go for great coffee. Allpress has light dining menu, eggs, toasted sandwiches, bakery items. Always freshly made and delicious. Plenty of seating inside, always busy with the young local crowd. Dog friendly, beautifully maintained patio and garden outside with seating. Very friendly and casual. We’ll worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood.

Could it be the one of the best coffee experiences in London? Yes. Very obviously yes. The coffee is sublime, the service beyond fault and the menu is refreshingly different to what everyone else is trying to imitate. Allpress is a unique take both in the coffee and the food in an utterly stunning location.

Yesterday I was attempting to branch out and explore some new places for food and coffee in the area so a quick google search brought me here. I have to say the architecture/interior design and front garden are lovely. Despite that exception - I wouldn't recommend it and I won't be returning. Allpress is the definition of gentrification in the area. I spent nearly £10 on some avocado toast that was hard as a brick, with the avocado in a separate dish. I'd rather have eaten the rotten avocado I had to throw out earlier in the day. I wasn't paying £10 for a deconstructed, subpar and inedible breakfast. They may as well have served me a loaf of bread and an avocado. But you could see from the clientele that people have more money than sense or had not come to eat. Rather observe their food. The coffee was nice but can find equally good, if not better coffee elsewhere. Support some local businesses that don't charge a tenner for a sandwich. Also watched the whole cafe ignore a homeless womans' pleas for them to buy her a coffee, when that money would have meant nothing to them. Tory vibes. Avoid!

Came for the barista skills workshop, had an oat mocha before the workshop which was delicious. Just had to share that Izzy was the most wonderful instructor/trainer/teacher, very knowledgeable, great with engagement, very helpful and understanding. If you want to a quality learning experience, look no further. The in-depth detail was amazing and really helpful as I’m a complete beginner in the world of coffee. Highly recommended, will be back to try the food and definitely for the next level of the course. 10/10

The coffee was amazing however I ordered the ‘mixed plate’ and you get: sliced cheese from the supermarket, tomato, half avocado, one egg and bread = £9.50! No value for money!! Prosciutto is extra

Great coffee, friendly staff. Favorite place of locals.

Usually I have really lovely experiences at this cafe, however the lady that was taking orders today was quite rude. We ordered at the counter, as normal. Upon receiving the food, we noticed some missing items from the dishes, which we had to go back up and kindly ask for. After receiving them, we then had to go back up an additional time and request additional items that we had never received. Whilst this was frustrating we understood it was quite busy, however she was quite stand-offish. However, after finishing our food the cashier decided to come back around and tell us to recite the order we made, as if suggesting we were mistaken, when we paid the full amount.

Great neighbourhood cafe/roaster. My main gripe is how they make a flat white with a single shot as standard - sacrilege!!!

Great coffee and friendly staff. A regular for us to top up our home coffee, grab a cake at the weekend or a tasty sandwich at lunchtime

Fresh and beautiful place with delicious coffee for conoseurs. I have tried their cupcake with a custard. Lovely. It was wonderful to sit outside surrounded by plants, dogs, and young, busy professionals. No screaming, kids, thanks God. It was such a nice place to relax .

Amazing Aussie coffee in London. Fairly busy Roastery and distro next door + Allpress HQ. Allpress is a good quality and consistent bean. Service is lovely and professional and the baristas and chefs know their craft. Inside is spacious and warm while outside is chill. The Roastery commotion doesn't detract from the cafe vibes at all and instead provides an interesting background. The cup sizes are tiny - not standard at all. So it seems like they're skimping on milks to increase profitability (which you don't really need to do with coffee). Food is basic but good quality. Could really benefit from a big brekky option. Exxy but high quality - you pay for what you get.

Neatly tucked behind stylish metal fencing, the allpress cafe is comfortable and welcoming, with a beautiful Mediterranean-esque garden with ample sun and shade. The coffee, as one would expect of a specialist roastery, is delicious, and the staff friendly and attentive. I attended a barista training course here which was very good. Cal and Issy are great teachers and just lovely in general, and I came away more confident in the fundamentals that every barista should aim to master. Thank you!

The lady barrister with glasses was super rude!! I always come to other allpress but do not think will stop by Dalston one again. Such shame!!

Kada je suncano ovo je pravo mjesto za popiti kavicu jos ako imate svog kucnog ljubimca ovo je taman

Don't get me wrong - it seems chic and swanky, and the garden turns it into an oasis. But it's XXI century. Where are the sockets? Even churches have those nowadays. Lastly, I never like to criticise staff, but they were acting so undeniably miserable and standoffish like they were gracing the premises with their presence that I just left. It's either management fault or it's time to change jobs 🤷

مكان جميل جدا ورائع لعشاق القهوة وتجربة جميلة جدا

very wholesome place, lovely garden outside and amazing customer service

Coffee was good but the shortbread was old and there was not much of welcoming attitude from the person who was taking the order.

Sin dudas la mejor cafetería de Dalston. Viví en ese barrio por 6 meses, y lo que sin dudas más disfruté, fue tomar café en esta cafetería. Excelente café, excelente comida y buen servicio. Si viven al norte de la ciudad les recomiendo pasar por este lugar. Más allá de todo lo bueno, a veces pueden tardar un poco en traer el café y el lugar se suele llenar mucho los fin de semanas.

Fantastic place and coffee! Eggs & soldiers for breakfast! Milky coffees feel weak so go for filtered

Nice place and super friendly staff- A bit pricey but hey, I’m unemployed 🙈

Really nice and decent coffee as well as brunch!

Friendliest cafe around the neighborhood Go here if you want to feel cherished There are several options in coffee and food Staff is very friendly and helpful. We spoke with Oliver for our coffee and he recommended us their signature blend which tasted amazing with milk (flat white) Go here for ambience, good coffee and hospitable staff❤️

Amazing Place! Lovely to sit outdoors when it’s sunny. Coffee is exceptional, breakfast was really tasty and large portions. Staff is really friendly. Highly recommend!

Good coffee and a nice outdoor area for the sunny days

One of my favorite coffee places in London. The place is large, has great coffee and always attract a crowd. I’ve been a few times and always ordered to sit with my coffee but also great to go. Be sure to look out for the coffee you can buy and take home, it’s quality.

Their coffee here is fantastic but not a good spot for work or study. They don’t have wifi and very busy

Great place good coffee, decent food selection, friendly staff, not cheap but it is Dalston!

Can you please open a branch somewhere in the south east. I'm tired of the commute

Definitely one of the best coffees in the area they roast their coffee on site which is very impressive and super fresh. The stuff is very friendly and have a great service. I had a latte for the past three days and I keep coming back to this place because it is great.

The place is a whole vibe. It's perfect for a catch up, lunch in the sun, to read or just to swing by for a delicious coffee fix before heading back to your day. I love it here.

The best coffee beans you could ever get. Cafe is nice but not many food options!

Excellent place for high quality coffee. They today it right there! The good is also delicious, love their focaccia bread. Friendly staff and vice atmosphere too

앉아있는 것만으로도 힐링되는 공간 주말 오전에 가니 애완견들도 같이 물 마시면서 하루를 시작할 수 있는 기분 좋은 공간입니다

Nothing worse than spending almost £4 on a takeaway coffee that’s lukewarm. Won’t be back

Nice sandwich and great coffee! Lovely bench space out front

I had high expectations for my flat white but sadly it was like a baby milk. Not strong at all and luke warm. Shame as it’s a nice place and being coffee roasters would have thought the coffee would be the best!!

Coffee is amazing! A bit crowded during the weekends, but three thumbs up for the coffee!

Overpriced, overslow, overhipster Avoid avoid

Great place, great atmosphere to spend a few hours on the weekend

Love this spot. Really nice space / vibe Great for a quick stop to decompress during a busy day

Top tier coffee obviously but some solid poncy vibes make you a bit itchy. £3.50 for a cup of tea seems mad to offer, but maybe that's me.

Edit 2023 Yes nice coffee and nice space with lovely sunny garden area at the front but it’s 3.50 for a small cappuccino that on my visit was lukewarm. Just getting too pricey for me. 2020: Great coffee Nice space

Great coffee in a lovely spot tucked away in Dalston. Nice garden area and good service.

Rave reviews about coffee here - and i agree with them. Really delicious, great hangout spot. Recommend

ACCESSIBILITY: There's a good ramp on the left side of the front outdoors space. The door to the indoors space, might be a bit heavy if you are on your own, but the people are really friendly to help out - feel comfortable to ask -. It's an open floor plan and there's plenty of space for wheelestrians. The staff is kind and warm, they can help you with anything you may need.

Great event at Allpress Espresso at Dalston!!! London Surf Film Festival 2022

Orange Polenta cake is just amazing. The best cake I've ever tried. (of course coffee is good, though) Lovely and kind staffs are plus.

Lovely staff. Amazing coffee. Gorgeous space. Allpress has always been my favourite. Their coffee has always been top notch. Such a nice roastery to visit if you're in the area. Lovely garden space outside and stylish inside. Coffee from here is a must.

This was my first time visiting,it was a good experience, I liked the atmosphere.

Favourite coffee spot in the area

We did the Perfect Cup Class today. Tutored by Harry in a warm and relaxed manner. An excellent and fun experience. The inclusive brunch was tasty and enjoyable. All staff were friendly and positive. Came away much more knowledgeable. Give it a go.

Best flat white I've ever had -- better than the ones they serve in the opera house in Sydney EDIT - another banger of a flat white. I love the staff here they are some of the friendliest folks around. They are very tolerant too. We're on a first name basis, no big deal.

THIS PLACE WORST PLACE EVER TO BUY YOUR COFFE. THEY TREAT CUSTOMERS LIKE TRASH . I HAVE ONLY BEEN THERE TWICE AND EACH TIME I WENT THERE THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THEY PRETEND THAT THEY HAVE NOT SEEN YOU WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN STANDING BY THE COUNTER FOR ALMOST TWENTY MINUTES AND NOBODY ATTENDS TO YOU. THE LAST TIME WHEN I WENT THERE THE PERSON WHO SERVED ME TOOK MY MONEY BUT DECIDED TO MAKE MY COFFEE AFTER SERVING TWO COUPLES WHO ARE WHITE. SO THOSE COUPLES GOT SERVED BEFORE ME AND I WAS WAITING THERE FOR ALMOST 20 MINUTES WAITING FOR MY COFFE. THEIR COFFEES ARE SO EXPENSIVE

been coming here for about a year now and will continue to do so! really friendly staff, delicious coffee, fast service and reasonable prices! a lovey place to sit and read or meet some mates for brunch LOVELY STUFF

Nice place with good coffee and food, and I particularly like the fact that they are dog friendly

Great coffee roasters with spacious seating area and nice food options.

Great food & nice vibes - the green goddess is a winner!! However, tbh Ive had many flat whites here and every single time its a FLAT white.

I tried Decaf&Oat Americano and love it! 👌🏻 Although it was a busy day I can easily say that it’s very well managed! Very friendly staff and cool place!!! 👏🏻🧡

Great coffee, great food, great service. The venue is spacious and clean, the staff are professional and helpful, the prices are reasonable and competitive, the toilets are clean and beautifully maintained... This was just a brilliant all-round experience.

Mixed plate and a cold brew are a perfect breakfast here. Our go to place in the hood. Plenty of inside and outside tables and super friendly team.

Had great filter coffee, the pain aux raisins was good so were the eggs&soldiers ! Also the garden is lovely.
