Ziferblat in Hackney

Nice relaxed place. Sadly, it will close tomorrow, 27OCT2018. Hope it reopens at another address soon.

Been there many times - fabulous. Great staff, fun venue, cozy environment, what more could you want?

Un'idea davvero originale. Ambiente molto accogliente, quasi familiare, e altamente rilassante. Non facilmente raggiungibile: si trova al primo piano di uno stabile anonimo a Shoreditch. Il conto lo si paga in base al tempo che vi si trascorre. Tempo che si può impegnare leggendo un libro, giocando ad un gioco da tavolo o sorseggiando un thé e mangiando biscotti che si possono, gratuitamente, trovare in cucina. Sempre un posto d'altri tempi. Vale la pena l'esperienza per una sosta. Costo, se non erro, di 3 Sterline all'ora.

Adoro Ziferblat. Se siente como un hogar lejos de casa y el tipo de lugar que puede invitar a personas que, o no quieres venir a su casa (aún) o que su casa es un poco demasiado lejos (vivo en el sur de Londres, así que no todo el mundo está dispuesto a llegar tan lejos! ).El personal es increíblemente amable y acogedor, pero en un verdadero quieren conocerte y conectar con usted en vez de en un "déjame servirle especie. Siempre termino teniendo realmente interesantes conversaciones al respecto con el personal o una variedad de otros clientes, yo, personal o quienquiera que voy con (si cualquiera). También me parece bastante un lugar inspirador y tienden a ser bastante un montón de trabajo allí, o solicitudes de empleo, más cosas o escritura creativa. Me siento muy en casa en y disfrutar Ziferblat el hecho de que 'los clientes (más como huéspedes) puede recoger en el té, café, galletas, etc. en la cocina y hacer amigos y hablar cualquiera. También está muy abierta y no sentenciosa y realmente aprecio eso.Gracias Ziferblat - cuando estoy fuera de Londres, me extrañan enormemente!P. S. he visitado varias veces, así que este es un comentario general en lugar de una ocasión específica.

In Ziferblat everything is free except the time you spend there. Customers pay £3 each hour for an almost unlimited supply of coffee and cakes and can relax in a homely setting on chairs and sofas. The emphasis here is on spending quality time in a social space, with Wi-Fi available for those who want it. A lot of people, especially young people,enjoyed staying there.

Fui con mi novio a Ziferblat tener una sesión de coaching de carrera y estoy muy contento de que él eligió este lugar. ¡Es increíble! Es ese tipo de lugar donde se vaya a literalmente relajarse, leer un libro o disfrutar de una taza de té. Corine es una estrella! Nos hizo sentir como en casa. Sin duda volveré allí para una sesión de programación. P. S. prueba el fritas riquísimas!

Everyones living room! An anti-cafe chain at which clients pay for the time spent there, rather than the food. Offering unlimited coffee, tea, pastries, biscuits and wifi. And super friendly people.

Qué gran tarde que tuvimos. Tomó un pastel con nosotros y nos sentamos, conversamos, refrigerados y jugamos rummycub. Era genial. Amable, acogedor para pasar el rato encantador ace con amigos. Como su vistas al pero no tienes que limpiarla. En mal estado, acogedora y chic. Sólo plena aquí. Me encantó,

Una cafetería donde sólo pagas el tiempo que pasas en el establecimiento. Aquí cada segundo cuenta (y cuesta). Por tres peniques el minuto, este innovador espacio abierto en el barrio de moda de Shoreditch sirve cafés, galletas y otros tentempiés gratis (eso sí, nada de alcohol). Puedes incluso llevarte comida de fuera y preparártela en su cocina.El lugar es de lo más singular: funciona más bien como un espacio multiusos y club social con una atmósfera vintage. Los clientes pueden utilizar las instalaciones como lugar de reunión, para leer, conectarse a internet o incluso tocar el piano. Sólo tienen que estar pendientes del reloj que tienen sobre la mesa y no despistarse con la hora.

essere al bar in compagnia di tanti gatti è bellissimo, anche perchè non si ha l'impressione che siano "aggiunti" per attirare il pubblico.

If your looking for that clean white Ikea looking office space, then this isn't it. What it is, is more like your Nana's flat cross with that cool older hippies place

Tocar el timbre y se abran. Pasear por las escaleras para saludar a un rostro acogedor, un delicioso regalo para los entusiastas humanos simple de su presencia. Este es sin duda uno de mis lugares favoritos en Londres... y uno de mis favoritos de cafeterías en cualquier parte del mundo. Tienen juegos de mesa, sofás, instrumentos, un tocadiscos y una cocina autoservicio lleno con té, café y otros bocadillos!

What a great idea. I spent ages searching the Internet for a cafe in London where we could do afternoon tea, bring some crafty activities along to do, sit for a few hours without any pressure to leave and enjoy a friendly environment. Ziferblat offers just that.It was for my friend's 30th so I bought a cake stand and cakes and sandwiches with me and some craft stuff to do; we helped ourselves to a teapot and tea cups and saucers from their kitchen and had copious amounts of tea. We played their board games, looked at their books, they have a piano and guitars you can play too. 3 hours and £9 each. - not bad!I definitely recommend Ziferblat as a comfy, relaxed chill out place. Unlimited drinks, biscuits, snacks, spreads, milk...

So, you pay 5p per minute, so £3 per hour, for unlimited food and drinks. It sounds too good to be true, but it is actually this way! Great for studying, with plug sockets and quick wifi. Recommended to all.

This is hailed as a social experiment and it's quite a cool one at that. You pay 50p-per-minute for your stay (£3/hour) and you get to use their spaces/stuff and help yourself to food and drink. This place attracts a lot of European students who are always quite friendly, but if you want quiet time, go early and you'll have lots of space to yourself. It doubles out as a really great place to revise/study/work in Shoreditch.This is also a great place to take friends or family visiting from outside London since it gives off the perceived Shoreditch vibe very well. If you're treating your friends to a day out, it doubles out as an activity + cafe.

You ring the bell, you get greeted with by a friendly voice. The location of the cafe is amazing, overlooking Shoreditch.At reception they note down the hour you arrive and you pay 3 pounds per hour, you can eat and drink as much as you want during that hour. They show you around and explain the system. You feel comfortable from the moment you step inside this place.They have good quality biscuits, cakes, musli & granola types, toast bread, jams, spreads, fruits, tea selection and coffee in the kitchen. So, totally worth the 3 pounds.There are many tables and comfortable seating. Ideal for working, reading, playing board games with your friends, spend time on your own - so the space is basically good for everything! It is not stiff or trying to be hip. The guests come from different countries, many of them young, everybody's nice and easygoing.I truly enjoyed my 2 hours stay in the cafe and looking forward to my next visit.

Ok so I heard about this place on Trip Advisor so I thought I would give it a go as I begrudge lining the pockets of multi million pound companies like Starbucks. What a pleasant surprise this place was! From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I was treated like an old friend and made to feel very welcome. It's almost like someone's flat you've been invited around to and told to make yourself at home in. After noting down the time I arrived, I was shown around and told everything was available for me to use (board games, guitar, even a typewriter!). I was shown to the kitchen which seemed to cater for most people's tastes. Tea, coffee, biscuits, bread, spreads! You name it. There was even a fridge to put your lunch in! Everything was included in the price of your stay (which is charged by the minute!...5p I think!) The atmosphere is calm, peaceful and homely. No one is rushing you to leave or giving you evils because your cup is empty. According to Sasha who works there (I think she does anyway!), they host board game nights on a Saturday where people go to chat and meet knew people. Something I will definitely be doing I reckon. See you next time!

This hidden cafe` in Old-street nearby Shoreditch Town Hall has an incredible concept. You don't pay for your coffee or tea but you pay for the time you spend there. Friendly staff and lots of Board Games. If you want a different afternoon/evening with your friends, this is your place.

We stumbled across this cafe on the internet and thought it looked interesting and different; we didnt have too long so we spent just over 40 minutes in there and it cost us 2.25 each. A huge range of teas and coffees, as well as buscuits and cakes, all for free (apart from the charge on the time you spend there). A huge range of board games too, which kept us entertained. Will definitely be going back, a unique and interesting concept for a cafe ☺️

Visited today with 2 American friends to see what it was all about. It took a while to get our heads round paying for the time rather than what you consume but it was great fun! Great value at £3 each per hour. Huge variety of hot drinks you make yourself as well as doing your own washing up but you can read in the library, play a guitar, put on records and just chill out. It was really fun and our host (David I think) was attentive, knowledgeable and a really lovely guy. We had many discussions about Ziferblats opening elsewhere. I'd definitely go back!

The concept is intriguing, pay for the time your are there. It's an interesting psychology, you find you're constantly checking the clock to see how much time you've clocked. I think I prefer the standard cafe, where you pay for the item, and not worry about the time you are there. The decor is interesting, though seems to try a bit too hard. Right up hipster alley - mis matched chairs, old style books and second hand instruments. I imagine it appeals to others, but not me. I prefer an atmosphere you can feel comfortable in, that doesn't feel like it's trying to impress itself.

What a place. You almost don't want to write a review in case it gets swamped! It truly is a home away from home. A fantastic concept - pay for your time not your goods. We sat, played cards, drank tea and all wished we could just have this as our local. Staff (Rosa) was so friendly and very welcoming. Would seriously recommend. We will all be back! We love it here! Just wish we could all stay longer!! Thank you for your hospitality and for allowing us to create our own space. Awesome!!!

Time is money. In Ziferblat, you only pay for your time. A 10 minute walk down Old Street (keep going, you'll find it!), on the junction with Shoreditch High Street, you'll see a non-descript shopfront with a door to the flat upstairs. Get yourself buzzed in, take a clock and enjoy the relaxed homely feel of somebody's living room. You can work, you can chat, you can drink coffee. No menus or table service, you can avail yourself of whatever you find in the kitchen: tea (of many varieties), coffee, cereal, bring your own food and heat it up... There are board games, bookswaps, and even a piano. Can't be bothered to hoover? Host a book club or an informal meeting here instead of in your house.With free Wi-fi and comfy chairs, endless tea, and biscuits, you could end up staying for longer than you mean to. At 5p per minute, your clock ticks but you don't notice. The lovely David will help you with whatever you need.

Ce petit coin est indescriptible : à la fois, espace de jeux, coworking, café, playground.On sonne, puis on y accède par un escalier étroit et là, un accueil plus qu'agréable vous explique le principe du café (pay per hour or minute), le staff est super sympa, souriant et nous explique qu'il y aura également une videoprojection (documentaire, film..)L'espace hybride, oscille entre bibliothèques : livres d'art, pour enfant, guides de voyage et romans...jeux de sociétés, video projections, instruments de musique.Le lieu invite à la créativité, la découverte.Une petite cuisine fait office de self service : une multitude de thés est à disposition ainsi que des petits cakes, sandwiches et autres petit snacks.évidemment c'est DIY : on se sert mais on nettoie et lave également :)l'espace est agréable et lumineux, le staff super sympa, serviable.L'ambiance est chaleureuse, attention tout de meme peu de places !

We have arrived around 11.00 o'clock and a Russian girl did us welcoming. She starts explaining us how the ziferblat London works. The kitchen was cosy and organised, she was there with us showing around and gave us good indications about where the stuffs is stored..... There is a coffee machine that can be used from everyone... Good selections of The, many flavours... Cookies, jams, bread and some cake left there from others visitors... There was not to many people so we could have some peaceful rest... Really good concept of paying the hours instead of the food and beverage... When we left she gave us extra 20 minutes for next time... Nice one. Definitely I'll be back. Cheers ziferblat!

Ein sehr interessantes Konzept. Zahle nach der Zeit, die du im Ziferblat verbringst. Getränke und sogar Toast sind gleich inkludiert.Dabei ist das Ganze viel mehr als nur ein Cafe. Es ist mehr ein Coworking-Space, der sich wie ein großes Wohnzimmer anfühlt.Passt gut zu Shoreditch!

This place is amazing! Visited for the first time this afternoon with a couple friends. Great concept - you basically pay 5p per minute of time you spend there. The set up is like a giant living room / common room with comfy chairs & tables and a large selection of things to keep you busy, including guitars, pianos, board games, seeds to plant, books, etc. You're also welcome to use the kitchen at no extra charge, which includes a once more large supply of teas, coffees, soft drinks, biscuits, sandwiches etc and even an espresso machine. Completely different from anywhere else I've visited, my only complaint is just how quickly time flies whilst in there, before we knew it we'd stayed almost 3 hours and paid £8 for our visit. Can't wait to return and show more people the place!

A friend and I had been talking about checking out Ziferblat for a while now and finally got the chance to pop down.We were welcomed by a lovey friendly chap who showed us around and let us know that he was available for any questions we might have. With such a relaxing and peaceful environment we ended spending nearly three hours, making numerous teas and playing board games. The concept is great as you are welcomed at it is your home, the cliental seems to be somewhat more respectful than regular cafes.I will definitely be returning in the near future.

I visited Ziferblat when it first opened last year. The concept was pretty cool with a relaxed atmosphere and decor for people to organise meet-ups/work solo in an artsy environment. I liked the idea of the pay per minute and also the concept of a self-service cafe. It definitely did make me a little nostalgic of my university days where students used to hang out in the common room after dinner.

O conceito inovador é o que me atraiu, café pago por tempo que você passa no lugar. O Custo por hora é baixo e você pode repetir quantas vezes quiser. Mas, você mesmo terá que preparar e buscar as bebidas e comidas. As pessoas que frequentam compartilham das mesmas ideologias e são muito agradáveis.

Самое уютное место! Если Вы хотите что-то творить, то оно для вас.... Дружелюбная, позитивная и творческая атмосфера!

Appena arrivato a destinazione mi trovo davanti ad una porta che da l'idea di un negozio abbandonato.Dopo un po di esitazione suono e salgo al 1 piano.Ad accogliermi una ragazza carina e gentile(unica cosa positiva)Il locale è un unica stanza spartana con qualche tavolo sparso qua e la.Purtroppo anche sporco e polveroso.Per chi non lo sa qui si paga a tempo,cioè si puntano delle sveglie e alla fine si conteggia il tempo trascorso (circa 3sterline all'ora)prendendo il classico thè delle 5 mangiando all'infinito.Peccato che c'erano solo pochi biscotti in un piatto chissà da quanto tempo senza protezione.Vogliamo parlare delle tazze?Sporchissime.Un consiglio.Non andaeci.

Lugar único, diferente, especial, no es una cafeteria común, no tienes que pedir nada, es como en tu propia casa, tu te sirves cuanto y como quieras.El ambiente es genial, el mobiliaria vintage, desde que supe de él me llamo mucho la atención el sistema de cobrar por el tiempo (3 cent/min) y no por lo que se consuma. Cuando entré me atendió una chica muy simpática y amable que me explico todo sobre Ziferblat. En la cocina había una cafetera con cafe caliente recién hecho así que no tube mucho problema, al abrir la nevera para coger la leche había variedad de mermeladas y mantequilla para uso del que quisiera.El local es muy acogedor, música suave, juegos de mesas, libros, comic y wifi gratis...

Ziferblat is one of the most quite and cosy place in Shorditch. Free coffee and teas, and funny payment model invite to spend an hour or two.

I read an article about Ziferblat on Huffington Post Italia. The article said that Ziferblat is a café in the heart of London where you can have coffee or tea and choose among a wide range of cakes, cookies and sandwiches and not pay for them: you pay for the time you spend in Ziferblat (3p per minute). It sounded new, exciting, smart. I went there with a couple of friends, and we expected to find a real café. Saying that we were disappointed is an understatement. Ziferblat is an office-like room full of desks and chairs, with a kitchenette where you can make yourself coffee or tea (and it's not even clean) and, if you're lucky, you may find food that other brought to share with the other clients. No cakes, no cookies, no sandwiches. Just an empty table. The author of the article was never there, I'm sure.

Oh yeah, you can only be happy to find out this wonderful just like at home apartment.in fact it's an apartment where you pay just for the time you stay there, and you can make a cup of coffee or thė if you prefer and even eat a piece of cake if there is still something left.you can have a conversation with somebody or just read a book or whatever or just dream....very very nice!

Ziferblat has a really friendly, welcoming atmosphere and takes a refreshing approach to the cafe setting. Instead of charging for tea and coffee, these are provided and free of charge; customers pay-per-minute that they're in the cafe, priced very reasonably at 3p per minute at the time of writing. In a spacious first floor room in a building near Shoreditch high street overground station, the managers of the cafe originally set up in Russia, and are now expanding to other cities. A really special and relaxed social environment, hopefully it will live on here in London.
