    Best coffee shop in Stokey. Coffee is always on point. Food offering is superb too. Small, changing menu, with twists on classic dishes. Poached eggs with roasted peppers and chimichurri was superb.

    Best breakfast in north London, go in the week if you can, as it gets busy on Saturday and Sunday, but it's somewhere that's worth the wait. Delicate and beautifully matched flavours.

    Excellent breakfast. Seems like they are changing the menu weekly. Loved the poached eggs with broccoli, the French Toast looked and smelled delicious. Very good coffee. If only they had orange juice!

    A quaint café behind the busy streets of Stokey. Small and simple menu with a lot of house products, from soda to yogurt.

    Most interesting brunch in Stoke Newington. Very small, sometimes a queue at the weekend, but excellent coffee and superb food. Try the poached eggs

    Little coffee shop with a small selection of pastries and superb, seasonal hot food. Can get busy at the weekends.

    A fantastic hidden gem. A perfect flat white and Esters' porridge with golden syrup is exactly what everybody needs to kickstart their day.
