Great little speciality coffee shop with personal service. Delicious coffee and sweet & savoury options. The lady who owns it is very friendly and remembers your order. The interior is very industrial/reminded me of school with the chairs etc and there’s an outside area which is perfect in good weather. Love the plant selection too. Best coffee in East Village!!
We had lunch here over the weekend and were really impressed with the food and coffee! Very very good value for money. It is a short walk from Westfield Shopping mall so I'd recommend that you come here for food rather than eat in the mall.
We had a flat white and black coffee. They were on the small side but tasted very good.
For food we had ouzo beans and the banana, yogurt cinnamon toast (see photo of menu for details). The flavours were really delicious. I wasn't expecting much but the food was executed well.
There were plenty of tables and the atmosphere was very relaxed. A highly recommended place to visit if you are in the Stratford area.

As an avid fan of 46b for many years...I was so excited to discover Hand Cafe this Sunday. Sadly of course the eating areas were closed because of Covid, but we found it fully functional for takeaways.
Unfortunately staff were pretty unfriendly, but the coffee was super excellent. My double shot Cortado was well worth the £2.80 and my leek and feta pie was yummy indeed.
I hope you don't mind me sharing this little warning to others...I was more than a little perplexed when I asked for a little sugar. Expecting a sachet of brown sugar as usual - Without no warning some transparent liquid was squirted into my cup. Of course I had to ask what it was..."sugar" I was told.
I'd never had liquid sugar...I was so worried that it would change the taste of the coffee, luckily it didn't...all was lovely....but could I have brown crystallised sugar next time please...😊
Anyway... we found a nice spot by a water feature nearby and enjoyed our lucky find of a great cafe in Stratford Actually if you love your coffee...I'd say it is the best. Thanks guys, a few more smiles and understand next time would be greatly appreciated.
Great cafe with only a small number of dishes on the menu but both that we tried were amazing. Excellent coffee. Decor is inviting. Staff were friendly and service was quick.
One of the best coffee i had visited, they have chocolate Croissant i really like it Thank u so much for your kindness welcoming 🙏🏻💜
Greatnright venue in a cool location. The dish to look out for is egg n tomato. Not much vegetarian options but staff are happy to swap ingredients.
Friendly staff, laid back atmosphere where you can sit and chill all day. On a nice day you can sit outside on the benches and enjoy the sun. I had a shakshuka which was not bad but I really envied the person having the ham & cheese croissant next to me!
Second visit for sit in coffee. First visit was for breakfast. Quick service and lovely tasting coffee, but knowing where to queue was a bit of an issue with patrons standing in the way. It's hard to know who was in the queue as they started having a full on conversation at the till (three of them). (Not the cafes fault, but super annoying.) Menu should also be printed, as not everyone has great eyesight and it would be nice to see it clearly. This would increase sales. The coffee taste is zingy and fruity, which I like, as I like my coffee very strong. Not sure of the type. It's not to everyone's taste though. I've only had the espresso before, so I am not sure how their other drinks are. I've been twice so not sure about slow service. Both times it was really quick for me. Even despite my feedback I've given five stars 🙂 as it's good. No latops sign is very unwelcoming. I do understand why they do it though. Not that I want to go there with my laptop just it's quite brash.

Loved it and definitely coming back! Bee polen: very cool sugar substitute. Coffee was great and artistic ☕
Delicious Greek inspired brunch!! The staff is super friendly!
(No laptop policy on weekends)
Love the Greek touch on their menu. My go to place for avocado on toast, it’s the best!
Great latte, the brunch is really good for salads, egg avocado toast and desserts!
Just had an oat latte but I much prefer the quietness of this place than down the other coffee shop down the walkway
A lovely cafe and friendly staff. The Greek eggs are a favourite of mine, and it's one of the best places for matcha lattes in the area. Tempted to drop a star for their opening hours being limited but I'll be nice and let them keep it!
Always have a great experience at Hand, personal favourites of the leek and feta toastie and the beans and eggs. Coffee is great too.
Staff are always friendly, and service is quick. Would love it if you could find away to open at the weekends again!!
I love hand, it has some of the best coffee in E20. But you really need to come for the brunches, especially the eggs and tomatoes which are delicious.
Coffee beautifully extracted by a super friendly Barista that knew how to extract a good espresso. Beans from Square Mile coffee roasters, so you get top quality.
Pastries where delicious, I had a lovely leek and feta, and leek and tahini filo pie.
Hand is a modern and quaint coffee shop - fitting perfectly in East village. Fantastic coffee with a healthy and varient food menu. Recommend for a weekend midday chill!
