Pitfield in Hackney

Warmed up milk. Would not recommend. Expensive for such terrible service and coffee. Kitchen was also closed.

The staff were not friendly or happy. The coffee was undrinkable, like warmed up milk - we left ours unfinished. Two other customers also complained to staff about the coffee quality during our visit.

Maybe I was there on a bad day, but I experienced surly counter staff, poor service, average food, small portions, and prices charged at the till didn't match prices on the blackboard behind the counter. I shan't be going again.

The staff weren't capable of handling customers on the weekend at all. Been waiting in line for ordering forever and the staff kept ignoring the customers in line and they were just too busy. The portion was large but somehow all four of us felt I'll after consuming the food. Question the food hygiene there.

Just popped into Pitfield for my first visit .Lovely varied menu and good prices for Old Street area. Friendly welcoming staff. My Poached eggs with avocado and smoked salmon was delicious. Nice touch having tea served in cup with tea pot rather than mug..Nice chilled atmosphere with quirky interior..I will be back .

I’ve given this place the benefit of the doubt so many times, but I have to say this now. It’s a nice cafe, ruined by consistently poor staff. When it’s quiet they disappear to the kitchen and you are left standing there for several minutes unsure if anyone will come. When it’s busy they can’t cope and start to panic. It’s a shame.

To die for gluten free carrot cake and a generous slice of Quiche Lorraine, washed down with refreshing sparkling water infused with wonky cucumbers! Very tasty. Sadly rather understaffed (but they are hiring) and incredibly - in this (thankfully!) plastic free society using plastic glasses for people eating in. Hopefully it’s a temporary measure only. Quirkily next door to an erotic boutique - should you feel inclined to browse!

I was looking for a place to perch before going to a restaurant and decided to try this cafe. The decor is nice, a lot of cakes on offer, even though it was 5pm and my tea was very good. I still have some complains- I needed to wait for the server to finish his phone call before he could serve me. Also later on when I was reading my book he cane and told me the shop is closing in 10minutes - 20 minutes early. I reminded him I asked for the closing time when I entered and he just grimaced. He chucked everyone out 20 minutes early, and the place was not empty.

Sunday at 1pm. Place busy and staff chaotic. Running out of cakes and food slow at tables. Fantastic coffee and red velvet cake though.

This is a cafe/antique/Bric a brac Shop in Pitfield Street, a short walk from Old Street Tube station on the Northern line. We really liked the decor and there was a good menu with quality and quantity of food good with competitive pricing.

We just waited over 20mn for a take away coffee and a hot chocolate which wasn't even good. I simply asked for my coffee to be warm and not hot and it was boiling hot. It would have been an easy 5 star review to get...

I love the vibe that this place has...the decor inside is fun and eclectic. They do the best flatbreads, freshly made and stuffed with gorgeous things, they sold out of their smoothies but I'm a coffee fan so a large cup of coffee hit the spot.

Like Pitfield, really like the vube, ambiance and decor. Just a nice cafe fir a bite yo eat. As others have said, this isn't the cheapest place but all told tge food and coffee were good.

Pitfield London is coffee shop located on Pitfield Street close to Old Street offering coffee, cakes, sandwiches, flatbreads and salads in a relaxed quirky environment. Pitfield offers 30 minute free WiFi is you ask the cashier for an access voucher. Pitfield features a retail area which serves as a shop selling very particular furniture, plants and decorations. Pitfield's strongest offering is its location and staff. While the service is not stellar it is always delivered with a warm smile and accommodating flair for customers choosing to eat-in. Its location attracts the work lunch crowd as well as locals and tourists in the area. I myself visit before heading into work as it serves as a good alternative to the chain coffee shops in the area. Pitfield's food and beverage offering is both, hit & miss and on the expensive side. For example the porridge is dry and resembles concrete mix, while the avocado and toast not bad at all. My experience has varied significantly between times I have eat-in and chosen take-away. While the portions of their salad box is ridiculously small, the most consistent item in their menu is the flatbreads. The coffee is okay and consistent. I would highly recommend it for individuals in the area seeking a large relaxed placed for a meeting or a quick catchup. My suggestion for food and coffee would be to walk further down either Pitfield Street or to Hoxton Square as there are a variety of other places offering better food at better prices within the area.

The place looked very nice from outside and the staff friendly. However, there unfortunately isn't much nice things to say about this place. The service was catastrophic (getting asked for your order 4 times and still getting it wrong isn't usual, getting orange in your smoothie when the one you ordered didn't have any, etc.). The food was good but the value for money wasn't there. It was expensive compared to other places where we ate that were as pricy but delicious. Overall, I think that the manager (at least I think she was) was full of good intentions. But the service didn't follow through nor did the food. Hope to see this place get better for the next time I come by!

No hello. No indication to order at the bar. No coordination behind the bar. Mixed up orders. Replaced ingredients. Staff seems lost. I hate to give bad reviews but I can't recommend this place.

Sin estar lejos este fue el lugar ideal para el desayuno. Había una buena variedad de pasteles, tartas y fruta, así como ofreciendo una variedad de huevos. Varios tipos de té, café y zumo está disponible.

Highly recommended, for cold poached eggs which when complained about. were replaced with hot poached eggs which were clearly overcooked,...

Do NOT recommend this place. Very poor food, surly service, outrageously priced even for Shoreditch.

Pitfield London marries a quirky East End cafe with a eclectic thrift store filled with unusual furniture, home ware and curiosities collected by Interior Designer Shaun Clarkson and displayed against bare brick and plank shelving alongside his eccentric design studio service.Pitfield is an assault on the ocular, whilst soothing you with scents of fresh coffee, cake and pastries. From the moment you enter you can't decide which way to turn or if you should just stop at the entrance to admire the flower arrangements and seasonal delights that adorn the bustling double door way that never seems to stop swinging open with yet another crowd of eager bargain hunters and art collectors.You never know what you will find in Pitfield - a new piece of furniture purchased on the latest series of 'Four Rooms", a celebrity or two grabbing a quick bite between photo shoots, a gaggle of LGBT students from the circus school across the street or a TV crew using the location as a colourful backdrop to a news cast or interview.Definitely one of the hip places in the East End to see and be seen. Prices vary, but for £10/head you can get lunch, coffee and a dessert that will leave you totally filled.

Popped into this café for a quick cup of coffee and a snack with 4 others, we ordered 3 flatbreads, 4 lattes and one tea, when the coffee's arrived all 4 had to be sent back as they were cold, the tea was the worst I have ever had and the flatbreads looked very unappealing. Those who were brave enough to use the toilets were not impressed, what a shame the premises look good on the outside, but if you were to ask me if you should visit my advice would be I would not advise it.

I actually work around the corner from here and have eaten here a few times. The food is always lovely and tasty and I love their array of flatbread and fillings but I do find the service a bit hit and miss. On my last visit the mug had a huge chip in it and when I asked for a new mug I had to wait until they had finished serving the que which meant my food was cold!

À l'occasion d'un week-end entre filles cadre très original Délicieux petit déjeuner anglais. Personnel agréable aller y les yeux fermés

Pifield, yang memang terletak di jalan Pitfield, tak jauh dari stasiun kereta bawah tanah Old Street cukup unik. Kafe ini tergolong luas dengan pilihan untuk duduk di sofa atau meja makan. Menunya seperti kafe Eropa pada umumnya, mulai dari roti lapis, aneka kue dan minuman yang tentunya menyediakan kopi. Kualitas makanannya sendiri cukup lezat dengan harga yang bersahabat.

This was a one-off event at the fantastic pitfield cafe. A 3-course meal with the main being authentic smoked pulled pork and braised beef. Tasty!! If cuepoint 'pop up' elsewhere I strongly recommend it.Staff at Pitfield really pleasant. The evening was great value for money.

Trovato per caso, cercando un posto dove consumare una colazione in pieno stile inglese, locale carino, abbinato a un negozio di complementi d arredo.Consigliato per colazioni e brunch, buona varietà di proposte, uovo in camicia cucinato molto bene!

Really bad coffee, poor and rude service! Prices are very high for poor quality and service. Manager was absolute joke. Girl wearing sun glasses, walking up and down doing nothing else just chatting here and there with her friends. No care about dirty cups and plates on the table. Not even talking about her being very loud and annoying especially for people like me who just came for cake coffee and little work. I will not recommend this coffee shop.

Lovely place, nice atmosphere into this hybrid shop!You can eat your brunch in the middle of the design shop, which is really nice! It is a comfy place to have a brunch with friends, it is spacious, the food is good and prices reasonable !! Go for it !!!!

We went to this café for breakfast and I had this amazing vegan chocolate cake. Loved it. Everything was really good and the environment was cosy and lovely.

Lovely place for lunch, nice looking food. Unfortunately they don't know about food safety, served almost cold meat lasagna otherwise fab.

Lots of retro its to look at. Nice atmosphere. Little bit pricey for a tasty flatbread but no side salad shame

I had an americano as I went with a bok to read... what a rip off! £2.5 for a cup of burnt coffee... never coming back!Tables a re not clean either.

Excellent choice for breakfast. Great music , good service . Nice shop in the same room. Calm ambient.

Ci siamo fermati in questo locale per una merenda veloce. Siamo stati attirati dal suo aspetto, molto confortevole. Il locale è abbinato ad un negozietto di complementi d'arredo. Il posto è molto pulito. I dolci sono squisiti ed il personale è cortese.

È un locale abbinato ad un negozio di complementi d'arredo. Dolci deliziosi, prezzi abbordabili, personale cortese. Lo consiglio per una pausa e per un pranzetto leggero.

I nipped in here for lunch and was provided with a great selection to choose from. The food was tasty and the staff friendly.

Let's have a tea in a cute place in the middle of Shoreditch. Green table, vintage games and pretty furniture To decorate your house. A relaxing place to take a break or maybe like me to work with your laptop. I had a English Breackfast Tea 2,75 £

Cool place. Great choices throughout the day. Amazing porridge, of course. Lovely staff there too. Quirky little shop attached too.

Visited this place for breakfast whilst staying at the Premier Inn Old Street. Really nice environment for breakfast. Nice drinks and a good choice of food and a lovely atmosphere.

Had lunch there today. My wife says best soup ever. My pizza was excellent and our daughters vegetarian meal was very good. Prices reasonable to good. Would visit again. Note it says vegetarian in the summary, but seems to cater for both.

Very unusual place.Completely wacky.Loved the long dining tables. Great sitting with strangers.Food was excellent , very tasty.Good vegetarian choice.Would visit again.

The place for this café is absolutely lovely. The store attached to the café (or is it the café which is added to the store?!) offers pretty things for gifts or for your own home.The menu offers a nice variety for breakfast or lunch. In the end i was a bit disappointed as the food didn't seem to be prepared with that much love. It was good but nothing too special. Maybe the counter staff had a bad day. I will try it once again for sure as I really liked the inside.

Really nice shop with interesting things to buy for presents. Food is nice, would recommend the almond cake. Only downside is that It is rather pricey.

I'll never review a cafe based on one visit as there are just too many variables in the space of your 30min experience.This was my second visit to Pitfield Cafe near Old Street in London. Both times I decided to 'have in'.The first time they completely forgot about me and only after peering up from my phone and seeing no one else around I went to chase my Flat White. "I'll have it takeaway now thank you".I wasn't angry, I'm not unreasonable. I said to myself I would go back at some stage as this place had potential.The staff wear cool clothes and there's a touch of disdain.They sell remade antique furniture.They also have an 80s Star Wars arcade game.They're really cool.My second visit: I'll have a Flat White and some toast with spreads.After a long wait and seeing other customers get there's before more i thought 'oh no, not again'! But just as I was about to lurch to the counter, I saw someone coming. Great! I was hangry and in need for my morning fix...Cold. Burnt. Toast.Frozen butter.Cold coffee.I actually even heard someone else say "the coffee is always cold here".Very disappointing as this place looked and felt like a great place for a coffee.But perhaps a little bit less 80s arcade games and lava lamps and more customer service and quality.

Visited here on my own while waiting for a friend and it was an absolute find! Not only do they do delicious homemade food but there is also a fantastic little shop inside selling all sorts of old and interesting vintage stuff. It was the perfect place to sit and relax and wait for an hour, free wifi for an hour and lovely staff.Absolutely beautiful.

My daughter and I come here most sunday mornings before a class she does. I have delightful coffee and she has a delcious pain au chocolat. Then we look longingly at all the pictures and furniture and gifts on sale in the shop. And we have never even managed to play the vintage star wars arcade game yet...

Wasn't ready to go back to my hotel after a day's sightseeing so wandered down a nearby side street (Pitfield Street) and found this quirky little cafe combined with shop selling furniture, furnishings and knick knacks. Lovely decor - wooden floorboards / exposed brickwork. Star Wars arcade game in the cafe area. Some communal seating. Limited seating outside.Ordered 2 mini macarons and a latte (£4.95) and satin the window watching the world go by. Orders are brought to you. Macarons were so yummy I ordered another! Tea is served in a teapot and comes with teacup / saucer.Free wi-fi up to 1 hour (ask staff for code). Toilets located at side of shop area. Staff friendly enough although there were some snooty customers!Directions: leave Old Street tube heading for Hoxton/Shoreditch.

The coffee was good the cups were amazing! But.. The staff was not really.. Seemed that they were bothered that we were clients...... The place is adorable but am not sure ill step in again if i walk in the neighborhood....

L'unica cosa carina e particolare è il locale, che ha una parte destinata alla vendita di arredi, accessori per il te' ecc. Panini di scarsa qualità, lasagne lasciamo perdere...

Atmosphere: you have a coffee in a shop and the music is amazing (Motown).Nice place in shoreditch/hoxton area for an afternoon coffee!

I stopped by this cafe every morning of my stay in London. The flat white was perfect. I also had a few lunches, the flat bread pannis were very tasty as was the soup. The deco was delightful as were the staff. The little shop was also worth a peek.

Two muffins and two cups of latte cost us £11.3. The food were alright, but totally not worth the price. Also wifi is limited to only one hour usage per person, which is pretty inconvenience we planned to schedule our journey during breakfast. For the same price you can enjoy a much better time in Curious Yellow Kafe which is only 5 minutes around the corner. Not recommend Pitfield at all.

We stayed across the road from this lovely eatery. We had breakfast there on 2 occasions and an early lunch once and it was all fresh, delicious and served with a smile.They were very accommodating to my 1 year old who likes cucumber sticks (they chopped her some especially and didn't even charge me extra!)I love it and it's somewhere I would recommend and definitely go back!Amazing fresh sandwiches and gorgeous salads.

C'est une boutique/restaurant : le store se divise en 2. Une partie pour des objets de déco/design et une autre pour se restaurer. Je n'ai pris qu'un cappuccino, et il était délicieux. Le décor est agréable ainsi que le service. Je sais que j'y retournerai !

Close to Old street station (5 minutes) in Shoreditch, if you want a fresh breakfast (British or European), chat with friends or chill out on your own, this is a perfect place. Not cheap as chips (It's London...).

Wir - Familie mit 2 Kids - kamen jeden morgen hierher zum Frühstück. Einfach ein super cooles Cafe und sehr sehr gute und frische Auswahl. Z.B. Porrige mit Früchten, Cheesecake, Butter Croissant, Bread and Butter Pudding (das war der echte Hammer). Coole Crew - so macht Morgenessen wirklich Spass. Thanxx a lot and cu.

I was looking for somewhere to meet a family friend in Pitfield Street and found Pitfield, which turned out to be a fabulous coffee shop and retro/shabby chic furniture and accessories store. I really liked the simple interior: exposed brickwork and original wooden flooring; simple unadorned wooden tables, together with an open theatre-style kitchen/servery area.My friend had a flat white and Danish pastry, and I opted for a single espresso. At 10.00am the breakfast crowd had left and it was quiet, but I would expect it to be buzzing at lunchtimes.I will be back.

el sitio está muy bien para ir a desayunar o a media tarde, pero está algo lejos de la zona más turística y tampoco vale la pena desviarse o desplazarse para ir

My wife and I visited our son. The 3 of us decided to go out for coffee and lunch.Our son took us to Pitfields. I had a smoked salmon baguette with cream cheese and trimmings and a large americano. My wife had ham and cheese quiche (freshly heated) and a latte. My son a chorizo filled flatbread (freshly heated) and a latte. My salmon baguette was delicious and the coffee was great. My wife and son thoroughly enjoyed their lunches. The portions were large and filling and all our appetites were sated. All the food on display, from the salads to the chicken pie looked appetising and enticing, it beckons you to return, which I will. They have a breakfast board menu which needs investigating. The environment is clean and welcoming, service friendly, but not intrusive. It's also part shop, part cafe. Didn't investigate the shop, but loved the cafe. I also noted they do takeaway. Shame for me I don't live locally.

I went there for a breakfast. My friend before me asked for scrumble eggs and toast and they said it was finished. Few minutes later I asked for the same dish and they gave it to me! The waitress didn't apologise and she didn't give us explanaition. However for my friend wasn't a big loss: the eggs were tasteless.The smoothie was very expencive and not special! The location is nice but the service compared to the prices is not good.

A lovely menu of flatbreads and salads plus freshly squeezed fruit juices in a cosy cafe atmosphere. It's half cafe, half shop but I really like Pitfield and its individual style. The food is always excellent.

Had a very pleasant Brunch here - hot chocolate and scrambled eggs with mushrooms on toast. Just caught the cut-off for the breakfast menu. Pleasant staff and fun looking around the shop afterwards.

Locale particolare nel suo genere, abbina cucina e complementi di arredo. Cucina ottima personale gentile e simpatico prezzi nella norma. Da visitare assolutamente
