Brags and Brams is a contemporary café and social dining space occupying 263 to 265 Hackney Road. The bright, relaxed room is designed for breakfast, brunch, coffee and informal gatherings, with a second branch now extending the same community focused idea to Newington Green. Its menu combines familiar café comfort with Mediterranean influences and substantial choices for vegetarian and vegan diners.
Egg dishes range from Florentine, Royale and Benedict preparations to the Brags Bennie with sofrito, avocado and hollandaise. Shakshuka brings eggs together with spiced tomato, peppers and sourdough, while çılbır places poached eggs over yoghurt with dill and warm spiced butter. The full Brags Breakfast adds French toast, maple syrup, mascarpone and berry spread to bacon, sausage, eggs, hash brown and beans.
Lunch includes a buttermilk fried chicken burger with cheddar, pickles and sriracha mayonnaise, a double smashed beef burger with crisp onions, and a vegan patty with lime slaw. Sourdough sandwiches come with fillings such as chicken, grilled beef or roast vegetables, hummus and pesto. Penne with tomato and Parmesan or truffle pasta provides a simple, comforting alternative to brunch and burgers.
Sweet choices include pancakes with fruit, berry compote and Chantilly cream, waffles with peanut butter and caramelised banana, and brioche with maple apple and cinnamon ice cream. Granola, salads and fresh juices add lighter options, while coffee and brunch cocktails support everything from an early breakfast to a leisurely afternoon. A children’s selection helps make the broad menu practical for family visits.
