Hoxtons - Hackney

I ordered a baked potato with beans. I had never experienced an undercooked baked potato before, whether I cooked it myself or someone else did. That changed today. While it wasn't completely uncooked, it was a bit too firm for my liking, but still edible. The prices at this restaurant are reasonable for this area of London, which is why I am giving Hoxtons an extra star.

While helping my daughter move into her flat, we started to feel hungry. I stopped by this cozy cafe/restaurant and ordered a tuna mayonnaise and salad sandwich on whole wheat bread. The sandwich was freshly made for me... When I got back to the flat, I must say I really enjoyed the taste and quality. I will definitely be returning!

I went to Hoxtons with a friend today and the staff greeted us with big smiles, even though the shop was already busy. The service was outstanding, with helpful advice on cake choices. I settled on a delicious chocolate slice, which was divine when paired with a glass of prosecco. What sets this place apart is the personal touch - you truly feel valued as a customer, something that is often missing in chain coffee shops.

We were aiming for a pub mentioned in our guidebook, but we had grandchildren aged 11 and 15 with us and the pub didn 't serve kids after 6:30. They suggested Hoxton to our daughter-in-law, which I heard as Hawk 's Den. A noisy, bustling place with good food and cheerful service, located in a hotel of the same name. Most of us had one of the relatively inexpensive steaks they offered and they all were good.

Brilliant place, good for local drinks and food. funky area with good vibe. look forward to coming back in the near future.
