Though you can order a great plate of arancini (amongst many, many other small plates) Bambi sticks in our minds for a whole lot of other things. From it's great wine lists (sparkling wine fanatics this is the place for you) to its "music-led" agenda; if you're looking for a place to groove and move, head to Bambi. 

Pockets is a petite place with a magnetic force. Many locals and food enthusiasts agree that Pockets has London’s best falafel pita, which we encourage you to try! This plant-based gem offers unparalleled street food and a queue that is definitely worth the wait. It is a quick and easy yet exceptional lunch option if you find yourself in Hackney. 

Paul and Jordan felt the need to bring New York-style bagels to London in 2017 so they did. Thankfully, the couple opened this eclectic bagel bakery to make Londoners obsessed with Bodega-inspired bacon egg and cheese bagels. Head East during a weekend morning and savor their freshly hand-rolled variety for brunch!

Bread & Truffle is a favourite of many Londoners. Their simplistic yet delicious premise sells fresh out-the-oven focaccias with gourmet ingredients. The industrial chic location in Hackney welcomes you to catch up with a friend for a chill weekday brunch or to answer emails as you munch on an afternoon treat like their magnificent Nutella focaccia.
