Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Delicious, fresh and interesting food. The staff were lovely. I’ll be making the trek to Stoke Newington to eat here again. If I lived nearby I’d be there every week! 😋

Definitely the best brunch place in Hackney - I have been here when it opened and recently brought my family who came to visit and they all loved it - the Marhaba platter that they have added recently is definitely my favourite along side with...the Challah bread they serve. My family tried the Jerusalem and Damascus platter which blew their minds. I can’t wait till I visit again - the owners are so cool and so helpful is amazingMore

215 is one of my favourite places for breakfast in Hackney, I've moved out of the area and still head over when I can for their unbelievably delicious and beautifully presented food. It is also incredibly good value for money and the staff and owners...are all really lovely. Honestly I couldn't praise them enough and especially during Covid when they have been tirelessly working hard for the community and donating their food and time for our health care professionals.More

Lovely service and good quality ingredients with an interesting menu and nice atmosphere. A little pricey for some dishes but very reasonable for others and tastes delicious. Quite small and busy vibe, not cosy enough to work or relax for long as dogs and children...and people coming and going but good to pass through!More

Incredible service and most delicious Middle Eastern food I have ever eaten! They accommodated my dietary preferences and I could enjoy mouth watering homemade hummus with gluten free bread! Coffee, definitely the best in Stokey! Cemal, the owner made us feel very welcomed and Tom,...the manager was so attentive, quick and friendly! Jerusalem platter was an indulgement and a party to my taste buds. Of course, all was followed by a sensational homemade brownie!! Trust me, regrets of overeating are nothing compared to regrets of not trying it sooner. Well done to the whole team!More

Omg, visited 215 Hackney for the first time a couple of days ago. Can’t tell you how good this place is. Menu so varied it was tricky to decide. Every single part of my breakfast was amazing, staff very welcoming and helpful in their advice...and knowledge about dishes. Can’t wait to return!More

215 Hackney is like no other cafe. Their work for our local NHS, their community spirit and the actual food and coffee are all second to none. Oh, and service- like being taken care of by best friends! I love eating here, stopping for coffee(which...is lush) and ordering take aways. Recently I asked if they could do a lunch for my staff who were working like mad on the last day before lockdown; I knew nobody would have time to go out. 215Hackney delivered such a feast, all Covid safe and made to be grazed on by all when they could. My staff were truly satisfied and so grateful. 215 took the time to think about our needs and made it work in a way that meant everyone ate healthy that day. Our neighbourhood so blessed to have these guys to feed us and to show real love to our community. Fresh, clean and healthy food, delicious coffee and desserts plus service with true caring, 215Hackney is what a local cafe should always be like.More

Apart from the cool decor and the super friendly and diverse staff (ask for Olu, he’s the best), they have my favorite cappuccino in the city. It’s one spot that looks like 3. You can have a couch hang out, munch inside on their Middle...Easters fusion menu, or sit upstairs and grab a snack while you log in and get some work done. The coolest thing about this place is the attention to details in everything they do. They’re constantly improving, and you’ll always find the owner having a friendly chat with customers, giving the overall experience a friendly neighborhood feel. Definitely recommend. Oh and the cronuts are great.More

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!More

If you’re in need of a pick-me-up during lockdown, this is the place to be. The friendliest of welcomes has not been impacted by the cafe being temporarily takeaway only. A top quality coffee and an amazing tahini brownie and my Sunday was made. I’ll...be cycling this way again .... and again and again!More

Had the most amazing breakfast here, I had the Marhaba which was great and my gf had the Jerusalem which was so good. Last weekend we tried their evening menu too which was incredible. We are big fans of Israeli Middle Eastern food and this...place is definitely our most favourite. Very reasonable prices and amazing wine too.More
