Our Story

It started as weekend bakes for friends.

What began in a home kitchen — a few trays shared with friends — grew, batch by batch, into one of East London's most-loved doughnut counters. Word travelled. The queues came.

Founder Nazia Yasmin still bakes by the same rule she started with: every doughnut hand-filled, every cake from scratch, every bite made to make you close your eyes and smile. Nothing leaves the counter we wouldn't serve our own family.

Why they queue

Made slowly.
Made by hand.

01

Slow proofed

Our dough rests and proves slowly, the old-fashioned way, for that signature pillow-soft crumb you can pull apart.

02

Hand-filled to order

Every doughnut is hand-piped and finished by us — never mass-produced. Fillings are made in small batches, from scratch.

03

Baked for the weekend

We bake fresh Friday to Sunday only, so what you taste is exactly what came out of the kitchen that morning.

“The crème brûlée doughnut is genuinely the best thing I have eaten this year — torched fresh, cracking top, cloud of cream inside. Worth the queue, every time.”

“Got there early on a Saturday and grabbed the sliced milk donut and the pistachio. Phenomenal — the filling is unreal and you can tell everything is made from scratch.”

“Hidden gem on Hackney Road. Friendly staff, beautiful little counter, and the Korean milk doughnuts are out of this world. We came back the next day.”

Good to know

Before you visit

You will find the counter at 395 Hackney Road, London E2 8PP, in the heart of East London — a short walk from Hoxton and Cambridge Heath.

We bake for the weekend. The counter is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am until 8pm. Trays go out fresh and the most-loved flavours sell out fast, so come early.

Yes — every doughnut, cookie and cheesecake we make is 100% halal, hand-filled and baked from scratch in small batches.

We do. For party boxes, bulk orders and event catering, message us on Instagram @greedycowbakes or email [email protected] and we will sort you out.

Walk-ins are welcome — it is takeaway only. Weekends get busy and queues build through the afternoon, so for the full flavour line-up arrive close to opening.

Our Korean milk doughnuts (strawberries & cream, cookies & cream), the crème brûlée, pistachio deluxe and red velvet are the ones regulars come back for week after week.
