Perfect desserts, good coffee (strong), and versatile sitting options that can appeal to many, incl. outdoor seating. Some okay unique food. Must try the epic cheesecake with a touch of cardamom!
The venue itself was really cool - lots of space, quirky design with heaps of outdoor seating. Perfect place for a drink on a nice day, and good spot to work for an hour with a coffee (free wifi!).
Great food, excellent vegetarian options but so understaffed and they know it, which comes across as an aloof way to continually operate. Meals took over an hour, ingredients & drinks were missed.
Some of the Staff are incredibly rude and the food is distinctly average.....their discount offer for bringing five friends along says all you need to know. Shame because it can be so much better.
The Russet is a creative, community cafe tucked away behind Hackney Downs Park. serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, cakes and coffee. pop ups and events.
