Our Customer Say

Our Feedback

So impressed it’s a jewel - you’d think by such a busy road it wouldn’t feel so good but it’s set back enough and with friendly staff plus a chef who clearly cares it’s a 5 star. Food tastes fresh and is well presented, with an interesting choice. Doggies welcomed with a water bowl too.

Outstanding place! I had the opportunity to have lunch there yesterday. It was fantastic! Great drinks, delicious meal, wonderful cup of fruit tea. I highly recommend it. The best of it was the first class service they provided. Well done! Will definitely go back.

In general, we are a family that experiences different cuisines and even enjoys eating. When we learnt that there was Mediterranean cuisine in Hackney, we wanted to experience it immediately. And we really loved it! The place is beautiful, the food is delicious.

Isabella Anderson

The food and the coffee were delicious and the service really good. Everybody was very nice and taking care of we had a good experience. Totally recommend the Turkish fest and the french toasts!

Flower Scervino

A great spot! I’ve gone back multiple times to try different dishes. The veg full English is delicious - so are the pancakes and bagels! A great deal on pizzas as well. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. Quick service and affordable pricing.

Cristina Conde

Had a wonderful experience at La Mela with a large group. The food was delicious and affordable. I had the Saksuka but want to go back and try everything else! Natalia and all the other staff and chefs made us feel so welcome and taken care of, some of the best service I have had in London. Will definitely be back!!

As a proud East Londoner, I can tell it`s a great place to go for a brunch or coffee break after a good walk by the canal.. The brunch menu is quite big but I loved the "Turkish Feast", which has honey, walnuts, fresh fruits, smoked turkish sossice and pastry.. The staff is super friendly. If you stop by and have a little chat, you will see how ambitious and motivated they are about food in general. 5 out of 5!

A hidden gem. Amazing customer service and a beautiful back garden. Lovely place to sit and have some bites. Great variety of menu with sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and pastas. Great place and walking distance to the Homerton station. A must experience local cafe.
