Samarkand Coffee

"A beautifully refurbished Hackney spot where the pistachio latte is genuinely worth the trip. Unhurried, welcoming, and the kind of neighbourhood café you'll want to make a regular."

What we love

• •Pistachio latte is a standout, carefully made and not just a gimmick
• •Croissants are big, buttery, and the real deal
• •Relaxed pace makes it one of the better spots in the area to actually sit and stay a while
