Coffee Temptations in Barnet

Great place, lovely fresh food, excellent service, truly a welcoming, friendly and warm atmosphere with great staff (especially Alex)

My go-to local cafe! This place is amazing– I’ve never had a bad meal here, and friends and family have given the same feedback. Their portions are sizeable, especially for the price. I would recommend the shakshuka, eggs benny (and the various versions), crepes, sandwiches, soup and hummus. Most importantly, the service is always top-notch, and the environment is consistently warm and inviting. You are always greeted with a big smile here. All the staff (love Alexandra!) are super nice and attentive to your needs even when they are busy. Their attention to detail is incredible– from the little touches such as the carefully arranged beautiful Christmas decorations, to the lovely food displays, to the way they remember regulars’ orders. Side note- not fancy but an important one– their bathroom is always clean and well-stocked. This place is child-friendly, dog-friendly (they even have a dog menu), and honestly just people- oriented. What’s not to like? Highly recommend.

Very good quality food and friendly staff. Have been here a few times for breakfast, always excellent!

Popped into this place for a spot of breakfast, ordered an English breakfast and a coffee. Coffee was beautiful great flavour and nice and strong. The food was also brilliant would love it again. Unfortunately that’s where it ended. Went to pay at the till and was greeted by a lady that tapped the order into the till and asked how I would like to pay, I responded card. There was a few technical issues with the card reader because their internet was down. She asked me to pay cash which I couldn’t and I also couldn’t go anywhere to withdraw cash as I use Apple Pay, which was made clear to the lady. Her response to this with attitude was what am I the customer going to do about it. I pretty sure it’s the company s responsibility to make sure the equipment works. I totally understand these things happen. If she was polite I think I could have tolerated the situation and been less annoyed of the situation. Must add again the breakfast was superb.

We were very pleasently surprised at how nice this place is. I had an excellent Burger nicely cooked with a great bun. Others had salads they really liked. Good service. Nice atmosphere.

We pop in to the coffee shop at least twice a week,the owner and the staff (all two of them) are really nice and helpful, the coffee selection is great,,good menu for breakfasts and light snacks, Their pastry and cake selection is superb(try the ginger bread man),by far the best coffee shop in Market Place, Worth giving them a look in if your in the MARKET PLACE AREA,they open 7 days from early morning til 5.30.

I am just about to head to Coffee Temptations for my weekly Sunday visit. Excellent coffee and service and definitely the best Shakshuka in North London. Just a fabulous local cafe!!

This is everything you would want in a local cafe. Coffee is really good (which makes all the difference, some around here are terrible) and they do freshly squeezed juices. Food is surprisingly good. We had shakshuka which was great and Mediterranean breakfast. Best of all it’s super dog friendly and has a nook for kids to play in. Highly recommend!

Even has a doggy menu! From a coffee through a full English to a main meal, and nice coffee as well. Clean, pleasant staff, good free WiFi Does the job

Been there so many times already and always find it clean as staff looks really hard working, peaceful atmosphere usually get shakes and fresh juice and always find it better than some most expensive restaurants in London so definitely recommend it

This place is just amazing! The coffee is just out of this world. Each cup is made with love and devotion I work nearby and instead of setting up the machine we have sitting there I come here almost every day at least once sometimes twice! As well as a wide range of coffees there is a wide array of other drink options including healthy smoothies and fresh juices. There are mouthwatering cakes available as well as a wide range of cannolis including a variety catering to those that are health conscious. The staff and owner are super friendly always with a smile on their faces greeting all the customers as friends creating a very relaxed and familial atmosphere and environment. Families are welcomed with a special area with toys for children to play. This place is dog friendly.

To have a local coffee shop that not only provides amazing array of fresh foods all day round, superb coffees of every kind (and alternative milks!) but also is a lovely environment to sit and work or to bring small kids is just amazing! They have a kids play corner which can keep my daughter busy for up to 2 hours which is bliss. I don't know any other coffee shop in this area that provides that too!

I pretty much like this little Cafe, very nice when in Summer the doors are open and they also introduced their Ice Creams and Homemade Cakes which is well worth a try!! The Coffee probably the best in this region and the burger I ate last time was superb.

You just have to try their Ice Cream. The Mars Ice cream is my favorite, but my kids tried more flavors and they said it was the best Ice cream they ever had. I strongly recommend everyone who loves Ice cream to try theirs!!!

Wow, I should say all the previous comments were right. This place indeed makes a very very good coffee. I am surprised how come I have never heard about them despite the fact that I am living in the surrounding area. Never mind, what's important is that after discovering this really cute Cafe I did not mind the everyday walk which takes me 45 minutes just to get my caffeine dose for the day :) Once I have tried their breakfast and I was just as satisfies. I am confident that whoever runs this Cafe knows his / her job as their customer service is also fantastic. Thank you for brightening up my day :)

Now if I was God I would eradicate all Starbucks and install CT instead. Or maybe the charm about this place is its uniqueness. Whichever way , CT is the best place I have been to at lunchtime for good food, pastries and (I could...

I am originally from a Mediterranean Country, so I know what it takes to make good Mediterranean food. Now, this Cafe offered me the best Veggie Moussaka I have ever eaten. Their Chef is superior I have to say. Very good customer service as well....

As a French living in the area, I am quite demanding when it comes to my Sunday morning croissant. I was pleasantly surprised to find a bit of my home comfort in Coffee Temptations. Lovely staff, as well : polite, professional, friendly.

Really impressed lately it has to be said. Fantastic coffee and very well priced enjoyable food. I’m a regular and it won’t change.

This cafe has improved so much recently. It was not bad even before, but now its so much better. Well done to the new management. The coffee is probably the best in Market Place and the customer service is also top. I would highly recommend...

I really enjoyed my lunch here today with my sister, and have been here before for a coffee. We had a penne arrabiata and a Mediterranean wrap with two drinks for less than £20! The food was simple but tasty and we enjoyed the meal...

I’ve been here several times for the coffee and they do a great job. Although I walked past this place loads of times and disregarded it because of the name and decor. I’ve not ever had the food except for a pastry once which was...

This is my third time visit with my friend (same friend all those three time). Each time I had different main course and each mains taste still so delicious! This time I challenged the steak, being told it's big dish and mission completed! Finished all!...

Went in for a bite of lunch. Really good food and priced well. Very attractive waitress/owner. Will come back again.

Relativly new cafe with nice new surroundings. I had a sandwich which was like something you would get at a service station. Coffee and food is overpriced for the quality served.

I came here for lunch with two 6 year olds and 4 adults. There are some very positive aspects to this cafe. The children's portions were spot on in size and the food received satisfactory approval. The portion size for adults was also perfect. I...

At last!! An affordable place in the Suburb to get a bite to eat, a coffee & cake or a delicious scoop of ice cream, 7 days a week. Why has it taken so long for someone to wake up & do this? Congratulations to...

Coffee Temptations is light and bright. Variety of cafe style food on the menu, decent coffee and nice milkshakes. There is also a small ice cream bar. Good for a local cafe - breakfast, lunch, coffee.
