Set in the backstreets of Dalston, this place is essentially a neighbourhood café, offering good coffee, a friendly welcome and a short, simple blackboard menu: chilli-sprinkled avocado or own-made baked beans on toast, say, or pancakes piled with fruit. The hot breakfast pide is about as elaborate as it gets: a slab of Turkish flatbread filled with egg mayonnaise, cheese, ham, spinach and chilli jam; a cure for the most sinister of hangovers.

Early arrivals can choose from a handful of pavement tables, the sagging sofa and armchair in one corner or the square communal table, with its teapot of flowers, stack of newspapers and help-yourself pots of jams and honey; a narrow window seat accommodates the overflow. The laid-back, anything-goes attitude extends to the decor, with a different local artist given free rein to paint on the walls and install their work for two-month stints; the back wall, meanwhile, functions as an ad-hoc loyalty scheme, scrawled from floor to ceiling with regulars’ names and a star for every coffee they’ve bought. Remember to bring cash as there’s no card machine, and look out for JH Lynch’s kitschly suggestive portrait of Tina by the counter.

Went to the cafe this morning, and am sorry to say the standards have dropped! the tea was weak and the tea leaves were put in a tea bag strainer that was filthy and stained with tea, also the tea leaves looked like they had been used already!! I was shocked when I went to use the sugar, only to find an ant crawling around in it! And, if that wasn't enough...I ordered something to eat and they had placed a tissue under the toast and put honey all over it soaking the tissue underneath..am I suppose to use this tissue to clean my mouth as there was no other provided???? Not very smart! Not very clean and as for the hot choc my partner had....for £2:50 in a miniature glass which was finished in a few sips is a disgrace. I wont be going back anytime soon! 'll stick to the starbucks thanks!!!! :)

Lovely pancakes, shame theres not too many other veggie options. Im pregnant but wanted to try their "amazing coffee so I asked for a decaff and they sort of sneered a "we dont do decaff" at me and then i asked for a tea and it was not loose leaf tea as stated on some other reviews. Will recommend to anyone who is not pregnant or veggo!

I live across the road. Love pretty much everything about Tina's except its popularity.
