About Thingy Cafe

Thingy Cafe is a relaxed, cosy spot in Hackney with an imaginative menu — think sourdough chicken and tarragon sandwiches — and a lovely garden out back that gives the whole place a bit of breathing room. Staff are notably warm and attentive, and the buggy-friendly layout makes it easy to navigate with little ones in tow; highchairs are on hand too, and there are vegan options available if that's useful for your family. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the atmosphere is genuinely welcoming and the outdoor space alone makes it worth a visit on a decent day.
