Kaffa Coffee

Ethiopian coffee and dining are at the heart of this Hackney café, which pours until midnight every day except Sunday — unusually late hours by any coffee-shop standard. Its community spirit runs deeper than the counter thanks to Kaffa Live!, an annual celebration in Gillett Square bringing people together through music, food, coffee and culture. Add outdoor seating, wheelchair-accessible entry and a 4.8 rating from 142 reviews, and it's easy to see why this spot has earned such affection.
