Eat 17 Hackney in Hackney

Interesting to note that so many others have come to review this shop for the same reason as me - YET AGAIN, I HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY OVERCHARGED HERE. Not only that, but when I returned with my goods and my receipt, there was no apology and instead much swearing and blaspheming, as though I was the one to blame. Always ask for a receipt (then never give one unless you ask for it - not very hard to work out why!!) and always check it - preferably before you leave the shop, not like me today, checking it only when I got home, but I was so incandescent with rage that they'd done it AGAIN, that I walked back through the rain to claim my refund.I totally agree with one of the other reviewers, that they pretend not to know the correct prices when you question the charge - it's happened to me here many times. The only reason I keep going back there is that their bread is very good, but after today's utter lack of customer service and shocking rudeness, I will NEVER shop here again - and urge you to do likewise. There are plenty of other shops just like this one, and plenty of other bakers too - shops that wouldn't dream of overcharging as a matter of course/whenever they think they can get away with it, and who understand what good customer service is.

These guys love to promote themselves as a local store. They certainly don’t do local store prices or attitude. You have to be very careful with sell by dates! I just noticed they were selling Campari for £12 more than the co-op a few doors up. I know co-op is a big brand but it’s also a franchise so not a big business either

A good shop selling a wide range of high end food. Some things are eye-wateringly expensive, but generally you get what you pay for in terms of quality, and there are some "normal" spar goods in here. However, if you look at some of the other, older reviews on here you'll see that people complain of mispricing/being over-charged. This is still happening. I have shopped here for a while so know to triple check prices, but even then still occasionally find myself being surprised at the till when something that DEFINITELY was marked up at 99p somehow scans as £1.45. Pretty inexcusable really.

Interesting range of products, good coffee, and all sorts of cakes, bakery... Top up of Eco Cleaning Products... MY favourite are olives with almonds... I just wish this place wasn't so expensive.

Great selection of food but unfortunately have been overcharged many times. If you shop there try and remember the prices for all your items, LOL

I't a pretty cheeky business hidden behind an organic hipster look. I was robbed by the staff adding extra items to my bill or even pretending they don't know the prices, repeatedly. Never again Eat 17. Karma strikes back!

Great little shop with a good selection of products but the service was 0/10 I’m afraid. I was met at the till by two staff more interested in talking to one another in Spanish rather than engage with their customers. The whole time I was being served the two continued speaking only with each other, which probably led to me being charged for a new bottle of dish soap even though I’d said twice that it was a refill. Furthermore I than had to ask for my receipt from the now grumpy man with absolutely no concept of manners & their importance. I’ll be keeping my custom where it and I are valued, such a shame was this place is so local to me.

Great selection of all sorts of health and organically grown produce. Especially happy with Happy Endings selection of ice creams they have, slightly pricey but definitely worth it, appreciate a good reduced trolley most days!

I bought a bag of red potatoes priced at £1.69 on the shelf. At the till I was charged £1.99 for white potatoes. I tried to explain to the cashier that she had charged for the wrong item. The cashier was unhelpful and refused to acknowledge the item had been charged for wrongly. I am not sure she spoke english as I never heard any audible words from her mouth. In the end I just walked away and paid £1.99. Poor service.

Burger bar inside a Spar market. Had the smoked cheddar burger and it was amazing., but it's in a bit of a weird setting and didn't have forks when we went.
