Specialty Cafetiere in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My favorite coffee shop in London. Amazing pour over coffee like no other place in town, great selection of sandwiches and sweets, anything with pistachio and banana bread is a must.

Great coffee, great food, and lovely staff.

the lattes were amazing! unfortunately we didn’t try any pastries but i definitely will next time i come here. it was around a 10 minute walk from columbia road flower market. the staff were so so nice as well. i will definitely be returning

Excellent Italian-run speciality coffee roasting and pastry cafe. Top quality hand roasted coffee, £3 a cup, croissants etc. Charming

Friendly service. The croissant was tasty, but a little stale

Great drinks but even better is the incredible warmth when welcoming customers- made our day!

The coffee was great, staff are friendly

Incredibly good in cup quality. Especially for the price,

Such a gorgeous guys working there! And the food, just look at this! Its like an art!!! Thank you !

Simple, but amazing dessert! The pistachio croissant blew my mind. It was filled to the brim with pistachio cream. Would definitely come here again just to have it.

My favourite specialty coffee shop! Always amazing selection of pastries and sandwiches! They do many options with meat and vegetarian. Coffee needs separate topic to talk about. Always special, always delicious and what’s most important baristas has good knowledge about what they are doing ! If you are specialty coffee enthusiasts you must visit this place!

The pistachio croissant is AMAZING. Very soft and flaky and goes super well with the gelato. Great pairing with an iced coffee as well, especially on a hot day!

Nice and cosy cafe, pistachio latte, chai and pistachio muffins were amazing, staff is lovely as well, highly recommended.

Such an amazing and cosy place! Cappucino and pistachio croissant was the best totally recommend!

Tried their Apricot filled Bombalone doughnut. It was huge and filled to the point of bursting with apricot and best of all, it was soooooo good. Also the lady on shift was super helpful and kind. Over all it was a great experience.

Pistachio Croissant was decent😎. Service was quick and staff were welcoming. Great atmosphere!

Probably the best coffee in London. Consistently great and well priced

Good coffee, good music and nice people.

Great coffee... ridiculously good treats

This place is such a gem! Absolutely my favorite cafe in London. Lovely people, incredible food, delicious drinks, cozy atmosphere, and all around immaculate environment! If you have not been here yet, you are truly missing out!

That was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. Simple but high quality ingredients. Very crispy croissant, freshly baked, delicious pistachio ice cream (sweat and salty) and perfect pistachio cream. Great atmosphere, excellent service. Huge recommendation.

A pleasant place to have a good coffee.

No egos Just good coffee Rare in london

Best pistachio croissant + bueno latte in London!!!

Meilleur café à Londres ! What a pleasure to find an Italian coffee place right next to the hotel 😍 loved it, and would come back to London just for this coffee place !

Lovely place and food! We stayed in a table outside and was kind of sunny so it was lovely. The croissant with pistachio cream was great, just that the croissant was not fresh enough as it was 4pm and I guess they make them early in the morning. The pistachio cream amazing and the coffees very nice as well

One of the best roastery I have been to, I had such a well balanced and tasty Ethiopian as an espresso, it was perfectly brewed. There is also many other different coffee beans and for who ever wants to try coffees with different flavours and aromas, this is the perfect place I reckon to go and try

Best pistachio Croissants and doughnuts !! im not really a coffee drinking but i must say this is the best coffee i probably ever tasted :) the staff are always super nice <3

Excellent coffee, amazing snacks (cannot recommend the croissant with pistachio highly enough) and a truly warm service by the staff on site, that make up a must-visit neighbourhood gem for coffee lovers in East London!

The perfect place to visit if you want good quality coffee and you love pistachio!

One of the best coffee shop in east London, cosy place, friendly staff, great knowledge of coffee and pistachios lover 💕

Great coffee, a great welcome and the most delicious selection of pastries and sandwiches.

Genuine, cozy, and delicious coffee!

The food coffee and the atmosphere is bliss full. When I travel that way I always try and nip in. 💯 Worth checking it out

Nice cosy cafe with filled pastries.

This Cafetiere is just something else- the coffee was one of the best we had in London. Staff was really nice. Be sure to try their cheese sandwich and their pistachios croissants! Delicious!

Thank you Amelia, Mauro & team, you're the best and the coffee here is second to NONE!!! Always a warm welcome, nice atmosphere, great food & drink <3

Real coffee connoisseurs! Super friendly staff and most inportantly outstanding coffee in good variety.

A small space packed with delicious treats and coffee. Although it can be difficult to find seating, the warm community atmosphere and excellent staff more than make up for it.

I was in a hurry and called in advance to collect my coffee and pistachio donut. A friendly guy took my order over the phone and I was later met with the female barista who gave me a warm welcome. The Ethiopian coffee was 10/10 and so was the donut.

Best place in London for filter coffee

Today was my first time here and I would definitely go back. The shop has a very cozy ambiance, Mauro and his staff are so kind and are so passionate about coffee. Hands down is the best coffee I've had in London. The pastries are a whole new level, the pistachio croissant is TO DIE FOR.

What a treat! If you love pistachio, this is the place for you. Instagram does it justice, I went in hoping for the best and I was floored. I got a pistachio latte and a pistachio doughnut, both excellent. The staff were super friendly, and even though it was quite busy they were really upbeat and lovely. I will 100% be coming back to try out other menu must haves (I'm thinking the ice-cream stuffed croissant in the summer 🥹).

Absolutely love the specialty cafetière in Hackney! Hands down the best espresso in town – rich, robust, and perfectly brewed. But what truly steals the show is their incredible Italian 'bombolone' with pistachio. A delightful treat that transports you straight to Italy with its authenticity and heavenly flavor. The combination of the exceptional coffee and these mouthwatering bomboloni makes this place a must-visit for any coffee enthusiast. 5 stars!

Visited the specialty cafetiere and was delighted by the best quality coffee in town. The rich aroma and exceptional flavor made the experience truly enjoyable. The pistachio croissant was a standout – flaky, buttery, and filled with generous layers of pistachio goodness. Highly recommended for coffee enthusiasts and pastry lovers alike!

This place is a Must! Hand rosted coffee; hand made Sandwich and the best Pistachio croissant ever had.

The coffee shop design Is Amazing; It feels like being at home. Coffee and Service are great.

What a lovely, cozy little cafe with a unique menu! I went with my husband, our toddler and baby, and a couple of friends. Between us we had a ham & cheese croissant, some banana bread, a muffin, and coffees. I tried the pistachio latte and it was delicious! I would highly recommend. The atmosphere was calm and there is a yoga studio out the back, which fits with the overall vibe. The decor is very homely and welcoming, it's clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would say the only downside is that there isn't much space to move around (we didn't have a pram and I think we would have struggled with it, if we did). We would gladly go back when visiting the area again.

Had a delicious pistachio croissant from here and the staff were lovely too :)!!

Accoglienza fantastica, Mauro è molto preparato, un vero esperto del caffè ma non solo, abbiamo mangiato un ottimo sandwich con la nduja e un buonissimo Croissant con il gelato. Super consigliato⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simply the best croissants and bombolones in London! I have had so many of their pistacchio and hazelnut cream bombolone, they are just incredible! Also very much recommend their specialty lattes (e.g. pistacchio, panettone), all very delicious! A friend of mine (professional barista for years) also vouches for their coffee. Great guys, always with a smile on their face. Looking forward to coming back next time!

Came for the pistachio profiteroles which were unfortunately a bit stale and difficult to eat. The pistachio latte was nice.

Coffee waa very great and It was nice talking with Mauro :)

The lady who made the coffee sent us away after purchasing, when we stood outside the shop in the rain as there was no space inside. This was after an incredibly long wait with no indication of how long it would be. We'd bought a donut prior and were looking forward to enjoying the lovely coffee served with it. However, she showed how valued our custom really was by opening the hatch and was genuinely rude in telling us we were no longer wanted there. There was no branding from where the donut was bought and we were showing their branding on the cup. The other customers outside were also shocked at her snarky attitude. The coffee was nice but I will not spend my money in places where it's not appreciated and with skewed ethics. Maybe she has an issue with certain people as there are some similar reviews. It's such a shame as my friend was really excited to support this business and it could have been a new regular spot.

Fabulous coffee and the BEST pistachio croissant you will ever have.

Not a really good experience. The place is small , you don’t have space to eat inside . I am not going to lie their pistachio doughnut is really good but expensive. It was more shocking when I asked them for the pistachio jar that they sell online, and they gave a small jar and filled up with a prefabricated sauce and charged me 10£, when in the website is 8’50£. Disappointed also when I found out that they don’t make the sauces . I was expecting they made it there because it is really expensive. Then I took 2 pistachio doughnuts also for taking away because it wasn’t space inside . And I got them in brown bags instead in at least a box because it was take away. Service not really good neither.

My favorite coffee place and my favorite people ☀️☀️☀️

Best atmosphere where the owner roasts coffee next to your table. Pistachio donuts and croissants are something not from this planet. Highly recommended! ☕️🙌🏼

i would say Specialty Cafftiere is one of the best Coffee shop in the Area thy also quite friendly i get my Coffee from this Coffee shop every morning. i would definitely recommend this place if you Coffee drinker

pistachio heaven! good coffee and very welcome service. top recommendations!💯☕️❤️🥐

I never write reviews but this place absolutely worth it! This is pistachio heaven 🥐

We were ordering online from their website and honestly, Mauro, who was dealing with it to Northern Ireland (and the difficulties that brings) had the most wonderful customer service. Next time we're in London we will definitely make a point of calling into the cafe.

Best croissant ever. Staff were lovely too, highly recommend.

What a unique cozy place to be, staff members are always smiling and welcoming you, they have great selection of sandwiches and croissants,we had pistachios croissants was delicious ,they also gave us free filters coffee,I highly recommend you should check out this place.

Though it costs £8.50 It’s a giant ice-cream croissant (big than my hand) Taste very good, I choose 2 flavours ice-cream : pistachio & hazelnut together. The texture likes Turkish ice-cream but not too sweet, the sauce is yummy, croissant is full of butter taste and crispy. They also roasted their own coffee beans. Warm service and welcome, will definitely return. Highly recommend. P.S: only have 8 indoor seats.

Fantastic specialty coffee experience, many different varieties of coffee, that helps you to explore differences in flavours and aromas. As well they have an amazing pastry selection with the famous pistachio cream. We tried savoury toasties for lunch, and we have been surprised how good is the quality of ingredients! Would recommend to everyone!

Found this place on Instagram and wow… it was the best! Had the pistachio croissant and iced latte and it was soooo tasty!!!! I will definitely be back

I had the best coffee in this coffee shop and the nduja sandwich sent me over the moon!

a lovely place for a perfect start into your day …

Fantastic coffee and cornetto, real Italian! 🙏🏻 grazie mille

Tasty sandwiches, nice coffee, friendly staff.

I was there today and I had a bagel, it was excellent, super tasty! then we ordered the croissant with pistachio ice cream, one of the best sweets I've ever eaten, I loved this place! everything was wonderful, including the coffee of course

I have been going there every weekend since they opened 🤍 Great coffee, lovely people, friendly vibe ✨ Huge coffee selection + baked goods = My favourite go to place. I recommend banana bread, croissant with ice cream, hazelnut cookie, brownie and turkey ham dried tomato toastie ❤️ Thank you, your regular costumer
