Since 2019, we’ve been serving our unique brunch creations to the Stoke Newington community, combining bold flavours from the Middle East with classic brunch dishes. Our menu includes vegan and vegetarian options, as well as classic favourites like shakshuka, all made with fresh, local ingredients. Whether you’re here for brunch or a quick coffee, we have something for everyone.
To help with the cost of living crisis, 215 Hackney has now introduced an affordable yet delicious option to eat out with our £5 brunch menu. If you’re looking for a wallet-friendly Stoke Newington brunch, this is it! Enjoy delicious meals whilst staying budget conscious.
We are Cemal and Ali, two best friends from Hackney with Kurdish roots, who started 215 Hackney as a way to bring Middle Eastern-inspired dishes that we loved since we were kids to our local community. Our café reflects the diverse flavours of the region and combines it with the beautiful community spirit of Hackney.
We understand that no cafe such as ours could exist without the help of our community. This is why we consider ourselves a community driven cafe and aim to give back as much as possible including our £5 menu initiative, as well as numerous charity initiatives such as our soup kitchen and our free christmas treats we give out each year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we paused our regular operations to focus on supporting NHS frontline staff, delivering meals to local hospitals and also proudly partner with War Child UK.
At 215 Hackney, we believe in using food as a way to connect with one another and could not be happier to be part of the Stoke Newington community. We hope we can continue making a positive impact, whether through our kitchen or outreach efforts.
This is what drives us: good food, good people, and doing good for others.

ExcellentBased on 124 reviewsVerifiedmaravivas2023-10-29Delicious, nutritious, friendly staff This is my 3rd time at 215 Hackney Cafe, it's a wonderful place with incredibly delicious and nutritious food, friendly staff, great retro playlist, and with a humanitarian mission; they support children victims of war. On my first day I ordered oat late, on my second day same + chocolate banana bread, a smoothy and the yogurt bowl, all delicious. Today I ordered the 'Jerusalem' dish, I could taste fresh ingredients and the lovely aromatic spices, a delicious dish indeed! The 'Khale kick' smoothy (khale, spinach, mango) was delightful, I loved the rose petals garnish. The Cafe was full when I arrived, so I decided to order a mint tea and told Onnur (waiter) that I was happy to wait outside until a table becomes available, Onnur didn't charge for my tea, a nice gesture indeed. He was polite and friendly. I'll be back!VerifiedAlice-Pie2023-10-10Friendly and relaxed with great food. You won't be disappointed. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with cheerful welcome.

You must try the Marhaba Platter and their rose tea was very tasty, highly recommended hidden gemVerifiedEvS2022-12-04Not going here again Music was to loud. Food was not tasteful. Also the presentation. Everything was put up onto a tray, looked like prison food because of that.Verifiedjoancskeith2022-10-05Great place for food Had a lovely family dinner on 1 st October in the Castletown Hotel.

Good service as well.Fabio Teixeira2023-01-23The best breakfast in Hackney and very good value for money during this cost of living crisis. They also have the cheapest flat white in the areaMazlum Topcu2023-01-23Love their breakfast platters and coffee, their flat white is strong and always on pointPalina2023-01-23Awesome hot pita with hummus and tofuCan Timor2023-01-01Delicious and huge brunch plates, good coffee, friendly staff and apparently a management who cares about giving back to the community, which is great. It's a small cosy place with limited number of seats, not always easy to find a table on the weekend, but always worth a try!Nurcan Xxx2022-12-16Good cafe
