Brunswick East Dalston

With sites in Dalston and Hackney Downs, Brunswick East is all about baking and brunch. Opened in 2015 by two sisters, this cosy spot is much in-demand. Drop in for informal Aussie-inspired all-day dining, with space in the sunny courtyard for laid-back al fresco meals.

One thing that makes the Dalston branch of Brunswick East stand out is its sky farm, growing all sorts of fresh produce on the premises. You can enjoy the occasional special event that includes a tour of the sky farm and a tasting menu celebrating its produce. It doesn’t get much fresher than that!

At this breezy contemporary venue you can try brunch dishes all day, made with produce from the rooftop farm and baked goods from Brunswick East’s bakehouse in Hackney. The menu is simple but eclectic - dishes show a variety of international influences. You can start your day the light way with pastries, from favourites like pain au chocolat and croissants to imaginative options like a spinach and feta croissant or pastries with cardamom and lemon. For a larger meal, try dishes like kedgeree, breakfast buns, poached eggs with chilli, or more substantial choices like salads, okonomiyaki, or a flatbread with braised brisket.

Pair your favourite brunch dishes with drinks including tea, coffee, and fresh juices. There are brunch cocktails, natural wines, and beer on tap too. From a speedy start to the day to a lazy late brunch, this is a comfortable place for exploring food that focuses on the provenance of ingredients.
