Flying Horse Coffee - Hackney
At Mare Street Market, Flying Horse Coffee is more than just a café - it’s a roastery in motion. Behind the scenes, beans are roasted on-site with small-batch precision, while out front, coffee is served from their hatch with warmth, character, and a strong sense of community. It’s East London energy distilled into every cup, a place where locals and travellers alike gather for their daily ritual.
Founded in 2018, Flying Horse takes its name from a 16th-century inn that once welcomed weary travellers. Today, that spirit of hospitality lives on in every pour. Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso or lingering over brunch, the team’s passion for craft and connection is unmistakable.
The Hackney hub is just the beginning. Since opening, Flying Horse has spread its wings to BBC Television Centre, Portobello Market, and Holywell Lane in Shoreditch - each location carrying the same signature flair, blending neighbourhood character with roastery precision.
The vibe here is quintessentially East London: vibrant, creative, and community-driven. And with Mare Street Market’s eclectic energy right outside, plus London Fields just a short wander away, it’s the perfect spot to soak up the area’s rhythm while sipping something roasted right on-site.
