"The Stoke Newington cafe is best-known for its weekend brunch that has N16 locals lining up outside like it’s a YMC sample sale. But the equally lovely weekday breakfast, served from 8am until noon, is a much less busy affair. Like the brunch plates, breakfast at Esters is equal parts comforting and creative. Bodega-style breakfast sandwiches (if said bodega stocked Perelló olives and biodynamic wines) with egg, honey mustard mayo, cheddar, and wild garlic are the perfect example." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
