It’s been a while since I last posted. I took a break from reviews and eating out, but I’m back with a great breakfast and brunch spot in Hackney.
I was really impressed at Tea & Co. The food tasted great, the service was lovely, and the presentation was on point. Most importantly, it’s a place I’d happily visit again.
Here’s what I ordered:
- Berry Nutty Delight – £11
- Southern Fried Chicken and Waffles – £12
- The Bengal Brunch – £13.95
- Tea & Co Special – £15
- Brunch on the Med – £13.95
- Bangladeshi Citrus Mojito – £7
The Berry Nutty Delight is French toast topped with warm Nutella, which melts into the vanilla and hazelnut premium Italian gelato to create an absolutely delicious flavour bomb. I really enjoyed this.
They make their croissant waffles fresh from scratch, which is a nice touch. Served with spicy fried chicken goujons and finished with apple syrup, the flavours came together really well. Another winner.
The Bengal Brunch is a proper desi-style breakfast featuring chicken curry, a desi omelette, aloo bhaji and more. It was a bit too spicy for me, but it came packed with variety, almost like a thali.
The Tea & Co Special was recommended to me, and it’s packed with both sweet and savoury brunch items all on one plate. The fresh, fluffy American pancakes stood out, soft, light and very well made.
My wife ordered the Brunch on the Med and said the Turkish sausages (sujuk) were the best she’s ever had. The plate also came with two fried eggs, grilled halloumi, mixed olives, pomegranate salad with feta, grilled tomatoes, fresh fruit, simit bread, plus honey and olive oil dips. A great spread.
The Bangladeshi Citrus Mojito is a refreshing mocktail made with Bangladeshi limes. It instantly brought back childhood memories of drinking this at my aunt’s house. So good.
A brilliant brunch spot in Hackney that I’d happily return to.
