Orange = Good 
Fantastic neighbourhood cafe with a distinctive orange shopfront. The main advantage this place has over its competitors is the fresh bread shipped in from the bakery over the road. Nip in at closing time for armfuls of bagels for under a quid.

Tongue Thai'd
An enourmous, modern Thai eaterie based on the rapidly gentrifying High Street in Stoke Newington.
Food ranged from fatty but delicious deep-fried veg to spectacular (and perhaps a little gimmicky) fish dishes.
As other reviewers have pointed out; the decor, design and attention to detail are something to behold.
The waiting staff are efficient and friendly, even when the place is full.
Yum Yum gets very busy in the evenings, making for a good fun atmosphere, although its probably not the place for a romantic candlelit dinner.

Review of Bar 43

Posh Nosh
When Fresh'n'Wild opened on Stoke Newington Church Street they sealed the deal on the vibrant Hackney thouroghfare's claim to be the next Upper Street. Attracting scores of Guardian-reading yummy mummies, Fresh'n'Wild is a supermarket that panders to the grown up hippy in all of us. Everything in the store is expensive - but most of the stock is Organic, fresh, guilt-free and good for the planet. The cafe section is good (excellent Muffins), but the only seating is outside so is best avoided in the Winter.
