Esters is a neighbourhood cafe at 55 Kynaston Road in Stoke Newington, focused on coffee, breakfast, lunch and baking. The compact dining room has an easygoing local character, while a small garden offers another place to linger over a daytime meal.
The kitchen cooks a short, creative menu from scratch and lets the produce guide what appears. Fruit and vegetables from small growers in Cambridgeshire, Sussex, Kent and East London bring a clear seasonal rhythm to weekday breakfasts, lunches and the extended Saturday brunch.
Sourdough, organic eggs, preserves and carefully sourced dairy provide foundations for the savoury cooking. Most cakes and baked goods are made in the small kitchen using a varied selection of UK grown grains, so the counter is an important part of the experience rather than an afterthought.
Coffee comes from trusted roasters and is joined by tea sourced from small farms. Esters operates as a walk-in cafe rather than taking reservations, and its menu changes regularly; guests with allergies should ask the team about the day’s ingredients and shared preparation before ordering.
