Esters: Creative Brunch Café with Seasonal Dishes and Natural Wines
Esters is a beloved neighbourhood café on a quiet street in Stoke Newington that has earned a devoted following for its thoughtful approach to food, community, and sustainability. Open Tuesday through Saturday, this bright and inviting space offers a creative brunch café experience, with a menu that changes daily to reflect the freshest seasonal produce from local farms in Cambridgeshire, Sussex, and Kent. The kitchen crafts inventive dishes like French toast with peanut crunch, lemon ricotta, and seasonal fruits, alongside savoury options such as fried eggs with rainbow chard, romesco, and cured salmon. Complemented by a curated selection of natural wines and specialty coffee from Has Bean, Esters embodies the essence of a neighbourhood favourite. Esters' commitment to quality and community extends beyond the plate.
