Black Sheep Coffee - Principal Place in Hackney

Good coffee and vibe! Great selection of treats. Staff were friendly (shoutout to Emily & Auoatif).!

I spent £45 here for food and coffees for my team. Thr staff were unhelpful and rude. I will take my future purchases elsewhere.

The atmosphere was great along with the customer service. They have a variety of food and hot to cold drinks you can select from.

The coffee is very good. It’s not cheap though. You have to order on the most annoying machines that are more suited to a McDonald’s than this hipster-vibe premium coffee chain. You have to work through a dozen responses, including dodging the cold-sell on the waffles. The shop is very nice and so are the female staff. The problem is the bloke, who was working there in the mornings in April and May. He is a total knob. The ordering machine doesn’t have an option for a dash of coffee. That’s what I like. When I ask for white Americano it’s often too milky. The female staff don’t mind me ordering a black coffee and then asking for a dash when they hand it to me. The bloke went mental when I did this. “Please order white” “but when I do that it’s often too milky” “just tell us you want only a dash” “but I can’t - there’s a group of people waiting - I don’t know when your doing mine until it’s done and then it’s too late” “just do it”. We had this conversation three days in a row. The lady looked embarrassed but didn’t intervene. I’m not going back.

Vivo en Seattle y esta es mi cafetería favorita. Imagínate. El personal siempre es amable y cordial, el café siempre genial. Buena comida, solo traiga su tarjeta de crédito, porque ya no aceptan efectivo.
