Possibly the best place on earth, run by wonderful people creating wonderful things.
Always amazing creative dishes to choose from cooked beautifully. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the coffee and cakes are all great! Our favourite place for brunch in Stokey.
Delicious breakfast and coffee. Very happy this is at the end of my road!
The best coffee in all of London with the yummiest food!
Fav coffee place in London! Best coffee and the sweetest people!
The venue (found off the main road) is small, so expect to sit very close to your neighbouring table. The poached eggs were excellent, as was the french toast.
Small menu but I think that’s the point. They know what good breaky looks like. The rest is noise. Very tasty, very quaint, very worth the visit
This place has a reputation for good food and atmosphere and yes, I can confirm both are good. There is a hipster vibe that matches well with the unconventional menu which I appreciate, you don't get the typical brunch options.
The only downside is the queue, but hey its your choice whether you want to wait or not, nobody forces you to wait.
I was tempted to give 5 starts but it might be a biiit on the expensive side, but pretty close to be fair.
Outstanding originality in the menu items. French toast was to die for and certainly not your average French Toast! We will definitely make a stop next time we visit our daughter!
An adorable place with an excellent and unique brunch menu - beautifully plated and thoughtfully composed. Their olive oil cakes are delicious too. Can't wait to come back!
Was lucky to get a table as soon as we arrived. Their coffees are excellent. For sunday brunch i had their spicy meatballs, which were tasty, however i would prefered it warm or hot. Cold meatballs on a winters day, no matter how tasty, it is not heart warming. On the other hand, my husband had the breakfast sandwich minus black pudding, which came piping hot and it was tasty n hit the right spot. My daughters loves their miso cookies.
Soup was lovely and staff were very nice and helpful. I will definitely visit more often
Lovely. Enjoyed their garden with an iced latte, flat white, miso cookies, and brownies. Great team too!
Good imaginative food, nice coffee, nice staff. Overall an enjoyable brunch and thankfully no queue for us on that day!
I LOVE their fried eggs on toast with sprouting broccoli and salsa verde. Very healthy and fulfilling at the same time. If I had to nitpick, I’d say to use less olive oil to fried the broccoli, as the pumpkin seeds salsa verde sauce already contains a lot olive oil in it. Otherwise the toast is dripping oil all over my plate. Another reason I like it here is because of the super friendly staff! Great service + high quality filter coffee. Whooo, they also have a lovely rear garden which would look stunning in sunny days!
The small cafe is situated off from the main high street and church st, nestled on a residential street. It’s popularity and size can lead to a short wait outside. The menu is typical for an upmarket brunch place. The flavours are great however the prices are a tad dear.

Lovely little coffee place in the middle of a quite neighborhood. Nothing too fancy, just nice and intimate. Excellent coffee, a lovely Bircher muesli and tasty cinnemon roll. The bread/toast is also very yummy. Great to just have a morning chill, talk to strangers and observe the neighborhood cat trying to sneak its way in 😼
Really delicious coffee and rhubarb French toast. It’s not a big cafe so be prepared to share a table if you’re only one or two people. The menu is unique so maybe have a look before you make the journey to check there’s something you will enjoy - I can recommend the French toast, the orange cookie and chocolate cherry cookie, all were tasty.
Esters possessed a nice vibrant ambiance. Food was tasty and definitely of quality. As pictured; the french toast was too sweet for me but for others this could be right up your alley! The poached eggs really brought a smile to my friend’s face as she thoroughly enjoyed it. Price was a bit on the high end, about a tenner a plate but reasonable given how good the food was. Can be quite busy and loud but that’s a reflection of popularity/ local approval!
Massive, massive fan of this place, its ethos and - let's face it - it's incredible food and cakes. I visit at every opportunity.
EDIT
I noticed another regular had updated their review so thought I should too since my original review is 4+ years old.
I often travel widely and consider myself a discerning foodie and in my opinion there is no where on earth doing better brunch than esters. The consistency of the creativity and quality served here is second to none. If you want to eat the best brunch you'll ever have, every week, go to esters. That's all there is to say really.
I would recommend going on a weekday if you can, or at opening on weekends as it (rightfully) gets very busy.
Get yourself down there, you know it makes sense.
Abso delicious! Interesting take on brunch fare. Great service, little shaft garden. An oasis from nearby hectic church street!
Excellent fusion breakfast. We tried the Korean pork belly caesar salad, and was wowed by the dish! Excellently executed :)
