Hash E8 in Hackney

One of the best buttermilk pancakes ! They refill your coffee cup and are very friendly.

Great little local cafe with amazing food. Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch.

I grew up in New Jersey going to diners every weekend so when I tell you these are the best pancakes in London you better believe it !!!!!!!

Best breakfast in London (cheap as well). They do the best pancakes and their French toast with peanut butter and bacon is incredible. Make sure to get some Hashbrowns on the side!

A good breakfast, portion to price wasn’t great! Fairly small but good quality! Service was friendly but had to remind them a few times for coffee\bill. I would go back but as a treat due to the price!

Very good cafe, providing a good selection of meals for breakfast & lunch, with nice vegetarian options Expensive

One of my favorite places to have breakfast at in the area. Food is delicious, staff is friendly and I recommend the Chorizo n sweets and the French toast 🤌🏼

Really nice place and amazing food. Shout out for the friendly staff.

Lovely service & tasty food 🙌🏼 I’ll be coming back for the jiggly pancakes 🥞

great brunch place for the weekend food is great, serviuce is always polite

I do like this honest food made with love.

Great food, great service, great value.

The food is always outstanding, at a great price point, and located in the centre of East London in Hackney. The staff are very helpful and service is quick, like a proper old-style, bustling London cafe. I am a local and possibly too much of a repeat customer!

Loved the pancakes and the fact that they collaborate with the shop next door to accommodate both the customers and their neighbours

Oh boy this place location for me is excellent!!! 1st reason is lunchtime distance is literally next to where I work so ordering not waiting to long to eat it are key for me and my 2nd reason is the food its very tasty and nutritional too the staff serving are polite attentive. So my verdict for this place is try it out for your self.

Come here if you want to wait for 1h hour for mediocre, overpriced food.

Lovely friendly service. Food was great. They only have bottomless filter coffee here.

A full English Breakfast. Different. Enjoyable. Worth trying. I have a friend who has lived in London for a few years, but has never tried a Full English ! I am from the Midlands, where it is easy to find one. So to survive, it needs to be good. In London, it was harder to find, and they seem to go for ‘being different’ to make their mark. So where to start - the bacon was streaky, but served tied in a very presentable knot. I am used to a much bigger piece, much leaner, and tastier. The sausage was OK, but elsewhere you can find one thicker and more flavoursome, maybe even which butcher made it. The egg was good, just the right amount of runny. The hash brown was a one-off home made. Opinion round the table varied with the majority praising it, though 1 wondering if perhaps there was a bit of spice in it. Equally the beans, different, basically liked more by some than others. Unusually the 2 half slices of bread came from completely different breads. Where I am from, I would expect a half breakfast to have a token spoonful of the mushrooms. Though I accept not the black pudding, which I have never seen triangular before. Full marks for the refillable coffee. Excellent. We are hoping to come again to investigate the eggs + something (ham, salmon spinach etc.) with Umami dust on it. Then again for the pancakes. I certainly found this place interesting and different. Quite unlike anywhere else I have tried outside London for a Full English.

Great place nice coffee and delicious! Loads of space outside too

Can't wait to go back! Ambience/Location: 5/5 A cosy place with a nice but limited amount of seating inside and outside. Came at 12:30pm and it was full but we were able tk sit in rhe cafe next door as they have some agreement with them. Perfect! Service: 5/5 We ordered coffee from the cage we were in (this was great as Hash only serves filter coffee) and food from Hash. Service was quick and very friendly Food: 5/5 I dream about going back for that pork belly hash! So flavourful and delicious! My partner loved the pancakes. Price: 5/5 Very well priced for quantity and quality. Overall, great place for Brunch and can't wait to go back.

Délicieux !! Everything was perfect and tasty

Exactly what it says on the tin. Clean, well cooked breakfast food. Cheap and cheerful.

Great home made food! Beans and hash browns were spot on

Foods always decent and the staff are all super lovely and friendly, always enjoy coming here

The vegan breakfast was delicious. The egg dishes as well and the hime made hash browns were amazing

Amazing food, cute little café, super nice staff

Awesome place for a fantastic breakfast. Quite a few options and everything was delicious. The staff was welcoming. Lovely time!

Had the full English and coffee. Everything was delish. Highly recommend this spot to anyone. Thanks!

If you’re looking for a good classic breakfast, this is your spot ! Service was excellent too

Pretty nice breakfast. I do wish they had gluten free toast. A bit on the pricey side but did enjoy our coffee refills!

Who knew Eggs Benedict could be improved…. Hash E8 did. They knew, they went for it, and then they educated the rest of us. Genius! The English muffin is replaced with HASH BROWNS… and now life will never be the same again. Thank you Hashy, for one of the best brunches I’ve had !

My favourite breakfast/brunch place around. The food is fantastic and for the quality and quantity very reasonable. Definitely recommend! You may wait a few mins, but y'know, you for quality, innit?

Brilliant. Delicious coffee (best filter coffee I've ever had), really great breakfast. Hash browns are amazing.

Lovely food, can't beat the price for a brunch.

Loved it! No room in the main cafe, so we were shown to the coffee/sandwich bar next door. The vegetarian breakfast was so good. Homemade baked beans, homemade hash browns, halloumi, half an avocado, gorgeous mushrooms, grilled tomato, two fried eggs and some lovely bread, slightly toasted. Hash Benedict was also a winner, two of the ever-so-tasty hash browns with poached eggs, hollandaise with homemade umami dust and some greenery. Good prices too, don't get to Hackney much, but will go here again. Not far from Hackney Downs Station.

Hash E8 is excellent. Great food with a range of wonderful breakfast / brunch choices. Have had the pig muffin which is excellent and the full English.

Confusing queueing system involving the shop next door (?) - made to wait in the rain when there were empty tables because of lack of communication between the two (?) shops. We just left instead.

My first time ordering food from this place, The food looks good in the pictures. The potion was so small, I didn’t like the hash brown at all (first time in my life) not sure what potato that was. Did not enjoy the home-cooked beans. It was different, but I’m sure others enjoy them. I enjoyed the egg and the bacon. I just think we need to be mindful when leaving views about small businesses. And the toast was so small! The smallest host of ever been given with a breakfast. Don’t think I would be ordering again.

Oh my word ............ I have not eaten food that amazing for a very long time. 10/10 and will definitely be going back as much as I can. Portions are HUGE!!

Great warm vegan meals. I had the breakfast

Short walk from the main street in dalston. This seemed to be a popular spot. Constant stream of customers but didn't feel under pressure to eat and get out. Portions were sizable without being over-facing. Food was tasty. Star lost for grubby seat covers / cushions and very sticky tables.

Great food, service was terrible, waiters swearing at us when we asked to pay separately and making us feel unwelcome

Fantastic breakfast, if I lived locally I'd be here every week. Home made baked beans are a rare treat, good bread - a must for a great breakfast, lots of other home made goodies as well. My only criticism is that the tea didn't come in a pot, but evening else was so good in overlooking it 😊

J'y suis allée avec ma famille pour tester l'English breakfast lors de notre voyage. On a pris un Half english pour 8£50 (très bon prix, je trouve). La nourriture était délicieuse et la dame qui nous a accueilli et servi était très aimable et polie. Je recommande cet endroit!

My favourite modern greasy spoon in London. Amazing food and everything else

I tried to order takeaway coffee and they rudely told me “next door” which I think is a separate business?

Wonderful brunch. Food was fresh and delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend if you are in the area.

i’ve been to many brunch places but this is by far the best. such good quality food and lovely staff. also amazing value. had the pig, pork belly brunch and blueberry pancakes to finish ! also had the unlimited refill filter coffee and a baileys iced coffee

Went for breakfast and found the food inedible. Seasoned exclusively, and excessively, with chicken stock cubes which they refer to as "umami dust". Bizarre. Also, no coffee other than filter

Easy place for breakfast/brunch. Has browns are amazing and the drinks are great.

Great homemade hash browns and vegan options

Best breakfasts. Big portions. Gets busy at the weekends. Usually fast and friendly service.

I went there with my family on Sunday morning and the brunch was fantastic! I recommend everybody going there and enjoy a huge meal for a day walking trough the city.

I have only heard good things and Hash didn’t disappoint, the service was swift and friendly, food unfussy and tasty, we both had half a full English which was the perfect amount but then left room to treat ourselves to some pancakes as a dessert. Great spot for brunch.

The best English breakfast in London. Every time I come to the UK I need to come here as well. All the products are exquisite but my favourite is definitely the black pudding (that's why I like to order one extra!). Five stars is not enough!

Delicious breakfast, vegetarian options, and great service! Worth a visit or two!

Absolutely gorgeous, highly recommended. I will definitely be coming here again to try more of their selection. Thank you so much great service.

I don't remember the time to getting such an average brunch in London

The Pig Muffin was unreal. So good - can't wait to try everything else.

Best homemade English breakfast ever. The beans were spectacular with a twist and seasoned perfectly to taste. Never had a hash brown like this one. The French toast was also perfect. Definitely returning!!

Refillable coffee and great pork based breakfasts. Veggies are a bit bland. Enjoyed the pork muffin :)

Tasty, no-frills brunch/breakfast offer. Good portions, great selection. A contemporary yet unpretentious take on the traditional Caff concept. The coffee offer could be slightly better, but the filter coffee is not bad!

First thing to say is how friendly and lovely the staff were. And the chorizo and sweet potato with poached eggs was fabulous, although it was overloaded with chorizo, which I never thought I'd find myself saying. I was full for the rest of the day. The downsides were no coffee machine although you can buy different coffees next door and bring them in. I was overcharged £10 but it was a mistake because I'd changed table and no issue to get the refund. Great choices for breakfast and will definitely be back to try other options.

It took a while to be seated but it is definitely worth the wait, and the vegan/veggie options are worth a try. I will definitely be returning!

Not for vegetarians. I’ve heard the meat breakfasts are amazing but the veggie breakfast is a lot of undercooked kale and mushroom. I wouldn’t normally write a bad review without having said anything at the time, but I was the only person in there and none of the staff asked how the food was despite the fact I only ate the hash brown. I don’t understand why are vegetarians only allowed a beetroot hash when meat eaters can have a proper one? I know it’s meant to be greasy spoon vibes but the toast is dry sliced bread and the coffee is really bad. Very over priced for the quality.

Terrible veggie breakfast. Huge amount of inedible kale and mushroom. The beetroot hash was the only nice part of the breakfast and I think a proper hash brown which is only available for meat eaters would be much nicer. Dry sliced bread toast and really bad coffee. I hate giving a bad review without giving staff a chance to resolve at the time but I was one of the only people in there on a weekday and none of the 3 members of staff asked how the food was, even when they collected an almost full plate of un-eaten food. Just don’t offer a veggie breakfast if you only want to serve meat eaters.

Very nice full English. Had a lovely breakfast here. Nice staff.

For quality and value it’s the best brunch I’ve had in Hackney

Excellent. Always look forward to coming here when working nearby. The Benedict hash is particularly good.

אוכל טרי וטעים מאודדדד… אווירה נעימה ביותר… הצוות נעים ביותר… אין ספק שנחזור לכאן…

Good food but took forever to get served. Waited an hour to order and then for the food. They were busy and we got sat next door but seemed to be forgotten.

I recently went to hashe8 and 🤩 wow their food can feed 2 people the pancakes were amazing. I loved the filter coffee staff were amazing even though it got very busy and you could see they were working hard they took the time to speak to me. Definitely will be back for more goodness. Those pancakes were so fluffy light and very filling definitely helped cure my hangover.

An absolute gem of a place! Food is excellent and staff give the best customer service.

Varied menu with a creative take on English breakfast. Great service and food cooked well, served hot and regular refill of coffee.

This used to be my favourite breakfast place in Hackney. But since it changed management it has lost its edge. The food used to be amazing, and now it is just ok. The atmosphere has totally changed. So it does not have my given 5 stars anymore.

Great food…but the slowest kitchen ever, 58mins from ordering to getting food. Gave them a second chance and it was just as slow. My advise, don’t go hungry.

Lovely local place. Just wish it was a bigger, as it gets very busy.

Gorgeous food and such nice staff!

Love me some hash, I used to come here all the time but I moved :( Will be back soon

Cafe vibe, food is elite-belly benny is unreal

Wonderful breakfast. The workers are very lovely and kind and very attentive. Really recommend their breakfast

Great breakfast got coffee from next door no problems,lovely staff.

Vegan breakfast is so awesome!!!!

Best pancakes I've had in London

Struggling to find a proper cooked breakfast in London ? This is the place. Top quality, not cheap but worth the visit. Full English is the best in class but also any of the benedicts are lovely also. Free refills on the coffee to wash it down. Recommend at the price if you are insatiable in appetite.

Such a nice (in reality - filthy - in the best possible way) brunch. A lovely, attentive and super friendly server. I had the pig muffin and it was insane and so flavoursome. OJ was actually freshly squeezed and there was a good amount of it. Want to come back here for something sweet next time!

One of the best breakfast I’ve ever have in London. You can taste the food quality, and prices are very reasonable. Customer service was good and fast. We had blueberry pancakes, hash Benedict with Halloumi and side of hash brown. Hash brown in this place is very delicious and much different than any other places. Only if I can give it more than five stars.

Un locale dove fare la colazione perfetta. Tutti i prodotti sono biologici. L'ambiente vintage è molto rilassante. Anche il personale è sempre gentile e molto rilassato. Nello stile del locale. Vengo qui molto spesso.

Favourite brunch spot in London. The hash dishes are amazing (chorizo and sweets is always done perfectly). Never ending coffee, tots, brunch cocktails, and other breakfast staples make it great for anyone. Friendly staff and outside seating, too.

Great food, we enjoyed the half english breakfast, and the white chocolate banana pancakes, its really worth it. We will definitely retry before returning home.

Excellent food, attentive service The filter coffee was also very good! Get the excellent hash browns! Too bad you can’t book, we arrived early for brunch, but soon got filled up!

Really delicious food with a great variety for veggies and vegans. We ended up ordering two different breakfasts and splitting them so we could avoid fomo. The pancakes and the eggs florentine were just 👌🏼 if you don't order the bucket of tots with hollandaise you've missed a trick! Staff were really nice, friendly and jokey even though the place was completely dammed. Price was really good too. We will definitely be coming back, totally worth the journey.

Como siempre buenísimo los huevos venedite. Entre semana no está concurrido.

Amazing brunch! So quick. Lovely service. Loved it.

Absolutely amazing food! Love coming here.

I was craving some blueberry pancakes and Hash E8 did not fail me ! The pancakes were fluffy and the staff forced me to have them with Greek yogurt, literally a match made in heaven !! Super affordable menu, great ambiance, AMAZING STAFF. I can not stress this enough, the staff were awesome ! They made a little space for me to work in their resto-café and made sure I was happy and served me the best (the best best best) pancakes I’ve had in London. 10,000 percent recommend !

Small diner with a decent selection of food and coffees. They also have a alcol licence.

Had my birthday brunch here for 9 people on a Thursday and it was all perfect. No coffee machine but good value coffee with refills and love the cocktails.

Awesome modern greasy spoon with great vegan and veggie options. We had the vegan breakfast: kale, mushrooms, beans, beetroot hash brown, avocado and toast.

One of the best full breakfasts in London. Also wonderful choice for vegetarians. Pancakes for dessert highly recommended. Generous refills of coffee and fab service.
