Delicious 7/11 burrito, £7. Sadly sold out of most everything else when I visited around 12:30 pm, but I will definitely be back to try their breakfast 9-12 menu !! Great little seating area in a peaceful corner of Hackney Central, with a view over the graveyard/ church.
Nice breakfast taco full of flavour, it gets messy so need to eat with knife and fork but was tasty. Will have to come back for the lunch menu
You may not know it but you need the hot cinnamon donuts which are served freshly made to order. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit if in Tenterfield.
We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sample gf donuts ( my husband is a coeliac). We’re not disappointed. Delicious. Stood around the fire pit, chatting to other visitors. A very popular place so obviously the food and coffee is good. Lots of gf options.
