"Esters is a spot in Stoke Newington where locals swear by the coffee and even more people swear by their eclectic breakfast and brunch options. Things are always changing here, from their soy-glazed, pork-filled milk buns, to meatball and labneh sandwiches, or wildly delicious takes on french toast. Expect flavourful dollops with every golden yolk, be it a spoonful of anchoïade or a smear of chimichurri. It’s walk-in only, but the turnover is fast. Mainly because you know you’ll be back.
