What we love

  • Named single-origin filter programme; Nicaraguan available on recent visits, recommended black
  • Staff guide you through the filter options and explain how to drink them
  • Espresso programme solid alongside: cappuccino and flat white both well-received
  • No surcharge for plant milk

Hatch cafe on Mare Street running a different roaster every month. Order off whatever's on the hopper today.

Elsewhere Coffee Hackney★★ Specialty

Elsewhere roasts its own coffee and runs a focused bar in Hackney where weighing shots and checking extractions is just how it works, not a talking point.
