The Apple Tree Cakes in Hackney

Barista working yesterday around 5pm was very nice and funny. He had great customer service

Saw reviews this was the best coffee at Broadway Market and felt hopeful I could enjoy a nice cuppa even though it was 4.20pm, way past my coffee cut off time. But I thought it'd be worth it if it was that good. Was given the Broadway Blend (caramel, vanilla, pear) for my latte. The coffee was just luke warm, and quickly cooled down to tepid. The first sip didn't impress..it was slightly acidic on my palate - not overly much, but there was a hint of sour and slight bitterness. It wasn't very strong, given this is a medium roast, but it wasn't a profile I was immediately fond of. This isn't a rich and creamy Joe, if that's what you're after. I don't hate it, but it becomes forgettable, and I certainly won't be having it again. The service was OK. Tepid, like their coffee. Coz when I asked about their beans, they were a little defensive, and I had to explain I wanted to know the profile before ordering. Given the location, this is one of the cheaper coffees I've paid for in London (£3.40). I got my coffee quickly (fast efficient service) and certainly did not linger around even though there were no other customers around.

El "Fox reformada" está en el corazón de la bulliciosa Stoke Newington Church Street. He conocido el pequeño pub durante muchos años.

Came here for a friends 35th birthday party last weekend. The room was pretty packed, but there is a small beer garden out the back for overspill. Friendly bar staff and eclectic selection of drinks. Good value too. Place needs a proper sign outside it though - very easy to walk past. I wouldn't travel from out of area just to get to this place, but it was fun all the same.

Proper British pub! Breakfast was excellent and great value for money!
