Butler & Booth in Islington

Ok I visited after watching Arsenal and was surprised that not busier but then it's not a lads cafe as so many are close to Arsenal. I love teapigs tea bags and a good range of coffee wonderful cakes and fabulous light brunch offers I had a very nice poached egg ham and muffin. Nice squidgy chairs and attentive service.

Not recommended. Manager and waitresses both surprisingly rude and unfriendly. There’s lots of other great cafes on Blackstock road- why choose one with bad customer service?

Good coffee shop and you can often get a seat. Coffee is lovely and the staff friendly. Decent paninis.

This is a great find in Highbury. The coffee is good and there's a varied sandwich/panini menu. Cakes look delicious too. Mixture of comfy seats and high tables. Most people in here are quietly getting on with work/reading. Lots of regulars. There's wifi. They place gentle jazz fm in the morning which makes for a relaxing start to the day. The staff are friendly and efficient.

Great little cafe for a nice lunch or brunch, or pot of tea and cake. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Service is quite and the food is lovely and to a high quality. Nice range of food on offer but lacks a sweet offering like pancakes or French toast for brunch. Would definitely return.

My favourite cafe (and I'm fussy!!!!). Lovely staff, brilliant coffee and the best breakfast and ingredients are fab. Excellent quality, good size and value- love it. Anyone should visit if in the area!!!!

Found this adorable cafe on a trip to Emirates Studium. Delicious, fresh brunch items. Sandwiches, salads, pastries & coffee in a beautiful and comfortable cafe setting.

A nice addition to the area, the cafe does a nice coffee which I regularity visit for! I have eaten a couple of sandwiches here, which are nice, if not a little pricey for what they are (around £5-£7 takeaway) and cakes, which are clearly package bought around £3 for a small slice - not an awful lot of choice, and they are competing with quite a few sandwich shops around the area, but saying that, they have always tasted good, and the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is good. I'd recommend this place for takeaways,

I had my eye on this place for a while and when I finally ventured in, the interior was bright, colourful and comfortable. I had a coffee and was impressed with the optional extra milk it came with which I had not requested. The menu, which I have not tried yet, looks varied, interesting and reasonably priced, from sandwiches to Greek brunch to freshly made salads. A nice find in a road that is traditionally packed with restaurants but is in need of more creative cafe ventures like this one.

Called in on a really hot Saturday and ordered a couple of Iced Latte - really cold, tasty and refreshing. The colourful tables and chairs were inviting and it was nice to sit outside and watch people go by.

It's been a few weeks since I visited this cute little café on the corner of Blackstock and Gillespie Road. I think this place is going to go from strength to strength, but a few things irked me on my first visit. Firstly, they'd ran out of a lot of things and so I had to change my mind about what lunch I was going to have. They also serve their jacket potatoes in this raised bowl-like plates which makes it impossible to cut into and eat without getting food all over the table! Nevertheless, it's really great to see a new business open up in my local area and the coffee was AWESOME... so I'd give it 4* for the coffee and 3.5* for the food situation :)
