Located in the bustling heart of Hackney, this diner offers a casual atmosphere that blends European charm with American diner flair. While its airy interior provides a pleasant backdrop, reviews suggest that the food and service might not always meet expectations. Many diners have praised the generous portions, especially the veggie options like the portobello burger and scrambled eggs, but some find the overall meal quality lacking.

What User dislikes about Mess Cafe:
The food here is alright, but not brilliant, usually accompanied by soggy white toast. The staff is quite incompetent. In my honest opinion, standing in a queue next to annoyed looking strangers on the weekend is not worth it. The booths inside are also uncomfortable. There are other, better cafes nearby, which you could probably choose over this one. View all feedback.
My youngest daughter and I visited here for breakfast. Service was friendly and accommodating and the decor in the cafe was homely with a nice Mediterranean vibe. I ordered a vegan breakfast which was very tasty and fresh.. coffee made with soya milk was just as nice. My daughter enjoyed the halloumi chunks with her eggs on toast and a lovely vanilla milkshake. All in all a lovely, good value breakfast in Hackney!
Super quick friendly service. It's a busy place so you might have to wait a few minutes for a table. Good portion size for the price. Delicious coffee included in the breakfast.
Friendly, clean and tasty. I ordered a veggie breakfast with granary toast. It was very tasty, filling and lots of choice. The coffee was nice and hot and was served with my order. I think this place is a good place to eat as there is a variety of dishes and drink options. It can get bust so make you sure you have time. It is also very clean and service is quick.
We were looking for a place for a late lunch and stumbled upon the Mess. Once inside, we were warmly greeted, seated at a table, and presented with a diverse menu. What stood out was the availability of breakfast items all day, a unique offering compared to other restaurants. While they had several breakfast recommendations, the menu also had plenty of other options. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. I especially enjoyed the lean bacon and flavorful black pudding.
The food was absolutely fantastic. The staff were lovely and the cafe was clean and well decorated. I couldn't find fault with anything and would highly recommend.
