People who say that money can't buy you love haven't tried a cake from Casey's. I'm picky about practically everything in my life. I like to think this makes me idiosyncratic rather than annoying but the jury's out. Casey's makes the best espresso in Hackney and yes, I know that's a bold claim, but I've drunk a lot of coffee & caffeine & me are old friends. If you're so bold as to combine the coffee with a cake or cookie then you're on your way to making one of the best decisions of your life. I've eaten my way through most of the menu & there's nothing there I wouldn't sell my dog for (joke: I'd never ever sell my dog but you get the gist.) Shout out to the chocolate brownies who got me over my last heartbreak, & the granola bars, which I kid myself are somewhat healthy (they can't be, far too delicious). Caitlin, as well as being one of the nicest people in the world, runs the joint & does most of the baking. She has the kind of chef skills that would make Gordon Ramsay promise never to swear again, but you don't have to believe my superlatives - get down there & try the goodies yourself. They also do toasted sandwiches (amazing) and occasion cakes for that special someone in your life (still waiting for Bumble to come through for me). Do yourself a favour and pay Casey's a visit. You won't regret it.

Amazing cakes and lovely coffee for very reasonable prices. There are also a really good selection of vegan stuff too- from focaccia sandwich to brownie. My partner was so impressed we brought all five varieties of vegan cakes. (We are going through them) On the other hand, I brought the Basque cheesecake and finished it as soon as I left the bakery. It was Devine. I would have liked for the bakery to have a sit in service, but happy to do takeaway for now.

Truly the apple of Clapton’s eye. Caitlin has worked tirelessly to create a sanctuary at the end of the oft tumultuous and risky streets of Clarence Road. It may only be a micro-café, but the quality, service and charm are plentiful. Energy balls like plump and supple talisman, cakes standing proud like the pillars of Solomon’s Temple and the coffee, a delicately extracted elixir. As the world crumbles around us and roads of spiritual resolution remain forever arduous and unrelenting, let Casey’s into your life, a true bastion for hope and sanctity.

Casey's bake all the bread in store from just behind the counter where they serve. I feel really lucky to have such a good local, independent bakery close by. It's nice to see them doing so well, they moved from a smaller shop very close by, and with more space in this location they have been able to stretch their wings and seem to be going from strength to strength. There's a counter with cakes and great looking sandwiches (haven't tried those though) and they serve good coffee, too.

Dear Casey’s I just want to say, you have amazing pastries, your croissants are so crispy and taste delicious, but I especially enjoyed your cinnamon twist, it had a slight cardamom taste, which I'm normally not a fan of, but in this instance it tasted fantastic. Thank you so much for joining our community, wish you success! Thank youuuuu!

During the pandemic Casey's kept us well fed since they produce day in, day out the most delicious bread and pastries. The shop is well stocked with gourmet staple deli produce ethically sourced and also reasonably priced for your kitchen's pantry. God bless the hard working team behind this bakery! I'm grateful and lucky to live next door, it is my neighbourhood's precious gem.

Casey’s could not be more perfect - it is the ideal neighbourhood cafe/deli/bakery and Is a genuine delight to visit every weekend for my weekend morning coffee en route to dog walk. Dogs are welcome, the bread and baked goods are fresh and delicious, coffee is top notch, and service is exceptional. Plus they sell essentials too. A must visit in Clapton/Hackney

Delicious sour dough. Friendly staff. But I do wish the Girl Who serves customers wouldn't pick up the bread with her bare hands - cutting it with no gloves, and then handling the iPad to take payment. It's not Covid safe. Also sometimes the guy on the till doesn't wear his mask., in a shop with unwrapped food that cannot be washed this is pretty bad.

Casey’s only puts out quality. Everything they do here is delicious - sandwiches, pastries, breads, coffees are always next level. With so many bakeries in East London it would be easy for this to get lost in the mix, but Casey’s stands out from the bunch because it really is that good. Very happy to have this as my local :)

Hands down the best bread and pastries I've had in London (or anywhere else, for that matter). They also have a great selection of vegan and GF treats, which taste equally as great. All the team are so warm and friendly, and it's amazing seeing them making everything freshly behind the tills. A gem of Clapton.

I just had a toasted brioche with spinach and hollandaise sauce which was lovely. The coffee was excellent too - nice and strong. The savouries and cakes are all home-made and they have some interesting supplies too. It is well-positioned to get a take-away and wander to the Downs. Long live Casey's!

Amazing amazing pastries!! I was so sick of supermarket corrisants and when I walked by I had to try it! The lamination is superb and everything is high high quality You can see everyone baking and it's a very warm place Would be nice if there was a couple of chairs inside! Loved it !

The team are super warm and friendly. Excellent coffee, made with care and close attention to your particular needs. Bakery items and Yummy treats to die for, as well as a curated selection of quality cupboard staples and speciality goods to inspire your cooking. Love this place.

The quality of baked goods, toasties, and that darn egg brioche, make this such a special place. The employees are so friendly and make the perfectly petite space somewhere you wanna spend your time. I recommend it always to all my friends, and now to all of Google. Go here!

Love this little neighbourhood gem! Fresh bread, cakes and bakes; eggs, dairy and produce from local farms & suppliers; and a lovely small selection of pantry & household goods. The coffee is excellent (Margate toaster Curve beans) as both filter and espresso options.

One of the best sourdoughs in Hackney and pretty solid croissants all made in house. A small selection of deli foods is a little mix between Brindisa, Japanese and other Asian bits a bobs. I hope they improve their deli offering with some more cheese sometime soon.

Must go! Love care and attention baked into everything....the breakfast slice, an unbelievable pear friand...and they are sandwich artists. The team obviously love what they do. I don't live in the area but I make an effort to come regularly because it's so good.

Everything I've had from Casey's has been great! It's all so tasty. The staff are all lovely too. I usually get coffee and a toastie, but the cakes are excellent too. Really good egg brioche thing as well. Also look out for the jalapeno jam on the shelf!

Casey's reputation can be heard from a few boroughs over. I visited for the first time and was greeted warmly and offered delicious baked goods and coffee. There is something authentic and wholesome about this place. It's the Tom Hanks of bakeries.

Great vibe producing amazing quality of pure taste. Try the breads and the chocolates and don’t miss the breakfast poached egg brioche. Young people making healthy food from scratch. Enjoy and support. One of the places I would give 6 stars.

Fabulous cafe with lovely baking and excellent customer service - they made a personalised vegan cake to order with fewer than 24 hours’ notice, and it was delicious - I only wish we could sit down inside but the park is close by

Every time we get bread from Casey's all we say is 'Ahhh so good!' repeatedly so this will probably be enough as a review. Perfect cosy, independent and local bakery run by the sweetest people. We love you team at Casey's!

Just the nicest little bakery and bougie goods shop. The pastries are incredible, the bread looks fantastic, and the coffee is ace. The people who run it are also lovely, you definitely should check it out.

Such tiny shop but filled up with high quality, delicious food. Don't miss out on the home made cakes—they'll make any event extra special. Casey's is great addition to Clapton Pond. ‍♂️ …

Incredible coffee at a reasonable price and brilliant range of cakes and cookies. Lots of vegan and gluten free choices. Very cute little cafe with tons of character and affordable treats.

THE BEST COFFEE SHOP/BAKERY IN EAST LONDON!!!! I love this place so much, the coffee is great, the toastie are out of this world and the staff are just a dream!! Would highly recommend :)

Really good barista coffee and staff is just super friendly. I would totally recommend this place! Plus sandwiches and croissants are really good! It’s my daily coffee place for sure ;)

The best ever bakery, with amazing goods and an awesome vibe. And the coffee is ace, too, served in recyclable paper cups. Try the cardamom twist or the brioche bun sandwich!

Love this shop , very good quality bakery which will melt your mouth away, also amazing customer service will make you visit the shop again and again. Highly recommended

This is the best bakery in Clapton bar none. Fresh loaves, good coffee, and a handful of groceries should you want something a bit nicer for the pantry.

Casey's is local, friendly and produces incredibly good treats and coffees. Always friendly and smiley. Pop in and get the blondie, it is sooo good.

Beautiful Place, nice people, great coffee, quite atmosphere, long time we needed a proper coffee shop on Lower clapton and now we got a good one.

Really good coffee and delicious pastries. Service was really friendly and even chased us 100m up the road with an item we’d forgotten to pick up!

This small café is the perfect place to enjoy the incredible variety of homemade cakes and good coffee. I really recommend if you are in the area!

The BEST cake in all of Clapton, perhaps London, maybe the world. A lovely lovely place that I couldn’t be happier to have in the neighbourhood.

Great coffee, even better cakes. Delicious bread and pastries and the nicest staff. Everything baked on premises I think and it shows. Love it.

Delicious baked goods and quality products! I love this little shop, I am so glad it opened in my neighborhood. The owners are really nice.

Such friendly people, the most delicious sandwiches and a great assortment of interesting ingredients to take home. Love this place.

Friendly staff and amazing produce - the tin loaf is the best sandwich bread in London, and they do a delicious filter coffee.

Relaxed, great food and coffee, the one the best cheese toasties I’ve ever had - 6 different pickles on the side, sensational.

I popped in last week and got addicted to the delicious flavors since then. Coffee is great and brownie is a must-eat. …

Their bread and pastries are absolutely delicious! It helps that the staff is super nice as well! Best brownies in London.

Really nice shop, delicious pastries, great coffee and super friendly staff. Wish I lived closer to go there more often!

Love it, we have to stop ourselves coming every day for a pastry and coffee.

Great baguette - very much like a traditional baguette you can buy in Paris.
