Great food for a reasonable price

great portions for a great price and really yummy coleslaw and really great smoothies also for a great price! would recommend!

had the pesto panini with a salad that was delicious - overall great food and portions! highly recommend

Deli style joint with great coffee. They give you delicious house made coleslaw, chickpea salad, and pickled cabbage with any sandwich you get. Bill always ends up super cheap.

Very friendly people and great food

Great food and service. A local favourite!! Will be back for sure..

Nice outside area, good place to grab a coffee after going to Flashback records next door, 🙌🙌

Have been visiting this café for a few years now. It opens early and the food is reliably good.

Thank you for your amazing coffee and service.

Great atmosphere, tasty food. I found place very authentic and relaxed. Highly recommended 👌

We were just walking by and although maybe unassuming from the outside it has such a charm and great service. The food tastes great and amazing value for money. Can recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a spontaneous bite and drink! Philipp

Came in for a spot of breakfast before visiting the Lego exhibition round the corner. It was super busy. Waited about 8 minutes to be seated but it was well worth the wait. Staff are absolutely lovely. Very friendly and attentive despite it being totally busy. The food is epic. Opted for the french toast which was served with cream, fruit and syrup. Absolutely delicious. Coffee is nice and strong too. Will definitely recommend

Great food, excellent service and all reasonably priced. Would recommend

Food was excellent, staff very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Nice spot, friendly service, great coffee

Brilliant find not far from the Business Design Centre. Open nice and early on a rainy day. A lovely welcome into a pristinely clean cafe. Excellent breakfast and tea with fantastic service. And the bathroom was spotlessly clean with hot water, soap and paper towels. Really good variety of food and drinks and lovely people. Thank you for making a business day so much better

Hangover begone! A great breakfast place serving up everything you need at a great value.

Didn't have food just drinks with a friend

Probably the best cafe/restaurant in Islington. The service is impecable, the food delicious, the prices right with a generous serving. Speedy service, immaculate clean and a friendly service by all staff. Great to have it as a local cafe. Can not fail it at all.

We visited for brunch and both had poached eggs on toast - blimming lush! Excellent double espressos too. The service was very good. Every meal we saw served looked superb. Sadly I forgot photos. We will definitely be back.

Amazing highly recommend. The best food I’ve had in ages and the staff are so friendly

Good food, great customer service, plenty food choices to choose, very good value for money as well compared with similar businesses, thanks guys and see you soon.

I could die happy after the stupendous veggie lasagna I just had— it came with salad and it was so good— any words I could put on here would fall short pls if you’re thinking about it come here. It’s amazing. Fast service, excellent food, free wifi, what more could one need?

Very nice people good food and drinks

This was the perfect lunch spot! The wrap I ordered came with a sample of salads which were all incredible! The flavour of the wrap (chicken, pesto, mozzarella) was the very best. I was blown away by the freshness and flavour, and that was before the coffee! Which was heavenly! Overall the service was excellent, the food was superb and I couldn’t be happier. Worth a stop for sure.

Best coffee......Great place to have Breakfast or lunch or just a takeaway coffee.

Gorgeous freshly made food, lovely coffee. Great service. Have been going here with my work colleagues for lunch for years. Gets better and better!

10/10. Friendliest staff, no frills, hearty portions and great value. My favourite local!

Happy people making great food that made me very happy!

Friendly waiter also food was great. Clean floor and clean table. Welcome entrance. The food was great also Latte is just perfect.

Overpriced but worth the money , it’s so nice !

Amazing food although quite pricey

Chicken sandwich + huge salad and orange juice £11. Smoothie £4. Nice sunny terrace. Friendly staff. We highly recommend it.

Good prices, excellent panini and salad, good selection of vegetarian options.

Food tastes amazing and friendly staff however one of the older male waiters doesnt seem to want to listen to customers orders, ignored me 4 times too busy chatting looking around and then he took a slice of bread and dipped it in the communal butter used for customers And proceeded to eat in the kitchen while touching other foods and serving. Very unhygienic.

Lovely little gem in the area! The staff was super attentive, and the food was really 10/10. For the money, it's a nice value both quantity and quality wise. The hollandaise sauce was absolutely amazing, and the eggs were perfectly cooked, not under and not over. The atmosphere is amazing, the place was sparkling clean, and even during my visitation, it was constantly being cleaned! Radio in the background, not too loud, but loud enough so you can enjoy music, and hear the news whilst you are eating. Overall if i could give 6, I would, but unfortunately 5 is the maximum! Thank you very much!

Very friendly staff serving tasty, reasonably priced Mediterranean style dishes and breakfasts.

I'd been for breakfast before (pretty good) but this was my first time for lunch. The pesto panini was really nice and came with three of lovely salads - it didn't say anything about the salads on the menu but it was a huge bonus. Not sure if they've updated their menu recently or I was just focused on breakfast before. This will now be my go-to for a quick, tasty, healthy meal in the neighborhood. The patio is also a great suntrap👌

Great place to be for all you breakfast, lunch or even brunch needs. The place has amazing variety of foods available. Even for vegetarians and vegans . Food is delicious, staff is very friendly and overall great experience 5 ⭐️💫

A brilliant little cafe serving all hot and cold food, breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner all reasonable priced and served by brilliant staff who are keen to accommodate any request you have. I usually have a full English breakfast here just about every Saturday, and I ask for no tomatoes or mushrooms and instead I get an extra ration of their delicious bacon. The plates are always crammed full to the brim and it's s really hearty breakfast and I would recommend the place to anyone. very easily accessible and served by the 38, 341, 476 and 73 bus routes and is a five minute walk down Essex Rd from angel station. you.must try it sometime.

Not been here before, was passing through the area as had business near by. Stopped twice for coffee/drinks in morning and afternoon. Very nice coffee. Good toilets, spacious and attractive cafe. Very wide choice of meals.

Wide range of freshly made sandwiches, paninis etc. Nice selection of baked products. Friendly family run.

Abbiamo preso solo un caffè e un the. Personale molto gentile

Considering the location and the price, I'd give 5 ⭐ It's affordable and generous in portions, and it all tastes good ! I had a jacket potato and it came with a decent size of salad. Cappuccino tasted good too.

Such a good deal for breakfast here. Everyone is so friendly.

Nice little café on Essex road. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great for a Sunday coffee!

Great food, great service and good prices a very good experience 👍🏿 😀

For , coffees are not hot ,but Dolce coffee was very hot we enjoyed more.

Lovely food .Nice friendly staff.

Great food as always and well priced. Very friendly staff

Welcoming, friendly, professional efficient staff. Good food reasonably priced. Clean and a nice atmosphere.

Food is freshly made and always hits the spot. Some of the potion sizes really good so you know you've eaten. Minor issue was salad containing nuts with one of our party having stated a nut allergy but this was quickly addressed.

This the best local place to eat.. Great food and Stella staff.... Mat, Dreny, Shaka and The Chef are the best ever.... I actually ❤ these guy's 👊🏾

Nice food, reasonably priced. Very friendly staff.

Best lasagna and stuffed aubergine in town. Very friendly staff.

We only just found out about this place , and now it is our favourite cafe! We love EVERYTHING about this place! Staffs are so friendly, attentive, and efficient .The food dishes we ordered, hot food, chicken dishes, Salmon Cheese Bagel, Salads, coffees - everything we ordered here on both occasions were DELICIOUS, fresh homemade dishes. The portions were huge. Will bring more of our friends here to give them the business. Thank You to the owner, and staff for being amazing!

Nice coffee shop with friendly staff

Regularly come here for lunch. Best veg breakfast I've had in London, consistently superb and healthy to boot. Excellent coffee Italian style, good tea, great array of salads and other dishes too both meat and vegetarian. Friendly staff. Price wise middling, great value for money. Large portions.

Best tuna jacket potatoe ,salad & coffee in london by far & fast service be going back next time in town.

Pathetic service Bad manerred staff

Try to order spaghetti Bolognese from menu, but not available . Then ordered beef stew, no rice , just roast potatoes. When meal came it had rice ,so returned meal. Started eating meal but found beef was not fresh and not stewed but tough as old boots, , potatoes were old soggy and not fresh. I could not eat this meal further and left it on the table , went counter, told waitress who was not concern , with a cold stare . Paid in full at counter, he could see I had left the meal and I also told him, but he did not care about serving pre-cooked meals to customers. Well a total waste of £ 12. 50 .

Delicious food. Great service. Really highly recommend for lunch

Very bad coffee quality. Just a place for quick food.

Today we had a lunch here with my little one. Tasty lasagna! But the case is my smartphone dead and I had only Google Pay! Stuff was so kind and trustful that they gave me time to go home and return with money. Thank you for your kindness and delicious food.

Lovely down-to-earth café. Great service and food.

Service is was very good, everything from cake to the chicken pesto panini were amazing. Highly recommended!

A really lovely place, everything from coffee and some pastries to larger items. I saw some great meals going out and the staff were incredibly friendly. Plus it was very reasonable for the cappuccino and doughnut which I had. I also got some work done as it’s just a lovely place to sit and chill. I will be back.

Great service good food but most surprising great value!

Very good experience and food. Highly recommended.

Ridiculously bad, and you don't get what you paid for.

unfortunately I wasn't able to go back for a refund, thankfully I didn't eat the bagel. lack of basic food hygiene. sold me a moldy bagel with salmon and cream cheese! disappointing. (always check what your being sold or what your selling) I noticed the mold straight away, its shocking how the shop keeper didn't. or did he?

Eaten here many times and always very good. Salads are excellent. Great breakfasts and Baked potato. Lovely coffee and fresh juice. Friendly staff. Can't fault it .

Good coffee, nice place to sit outside and watch London pass by.

Full English was so nice & lovely coffee americano 👍

I study right next to this cafe and it's certainly one of the highlights of my school day to come here for food. The staff are always very helpful and polite and the salads are delicious.

The do a great Breakfast at a reasonable price with friendly service.

Food is decent and the staff are nice but I just can't get over that food is always prepped with bare hands (and I never see anyone wash their hands). It is a shame because they are so friendly but I don't think I will go back until they get some tongs/gloves and use them

Local cafe - great fresh, affordable food.

Dropped in for a coffee and biscuit while catching up with friends. A great local place, no fuss and everything was superb. White Choc cookie was excellent and cappuccino was as expected. Will defiantly use as a catch up place again.

Very nice place. Friendly staff. Most important clean. Food testy and good. Highly recommend

Good food and good staff. Quick easy and with bike parking too. Outside seating as well

I have been going to this coffee shop 15 years I never left disappointed staff it’s very friendly shop always clean👍👏

Just Wow 👏 Delicious food,very friendly staff 👍

Cafe owner and staff have no consideration for the residents of the building they share. Cafe staff regularly throw rubbish in to resident's grass area on break. Today cafe management decided doing construction work with heavy machinery since 8am appropriate on a Sunday, waking up local residents. When approached and asked to stop building staff rude and combative. Owner seems oblivious to impact restaurant having on those that live above it. Please don't support businesses like this that make our normal living unpleasant.

Benny banks said this is the best hot chocolate shop on Essex Road so I went and ordered a hot chocolate 🍫😋👌😍

Food good, staff friendly and you could eat outside. Definitely would go back

A great place to eat breakfast, lunch and eat even more.

I really like this cafe and visit a lot but I was so disappointed to see the low level of COVID compliance today. Not a single staff member was wearing a mask and neither were several customers walking around inside. It felt really unsafe. I’ve been before during the pandemic and it was fine so don’t know what’s happening today. Won’t go back.

Love this place! Good quality food but not expensive. The staff are always polite and helpful no matter how busy they are.

I have been to this cafe quite a few times, as it is local to my mum and to my workplace, and so good for a catch up with my mum. I have had some good experiences and had a couple of good salads. The customer service in here, however, especially from the waiting staff is terrible. So much so, that I certainly wont be returning this time. We had an incident a year or so ago where my mum ordered a sandwich which was served to her toasted. When she said that isn't what she wanted, the lady serving was really rude insisting that my mum should have known it would be toasted as "they always are". We pointed out that it isn't stated on the menu and why would chicken and avocado be toasted? We got a rude, confrontational response in which the waitress insisted we were the ones that had the order wrong and she would be adding to the order if she changed it. We were really shocked and looking back, we never should have gone in there again, but the manager, a gentlemen was very nice, and later apologetic, so we gave it another go. Today we visited, and my mum ordered two teas, one toast with egg on top and one toast with tomato twice for the both of us. This wasn't understood by the waitress who came back with one on the orders plus extra toast, when my mum explained this, she went and returned with the order. The eggs were overcooked, although I usually wouldn't mention this, the toast with tomato literally had a slice of tomato on it, an actual thin slice (We think they just took from the first plate they had done which had 2 slices). We didn't say anything but I was still hungry, so then ordered a plain croissant. They proceeded to charge us £16.00 for this order, when asked for a breakdown they couldn't supply it, came around the counter to shove a menu in my face and show me that she should charge at least £4.50 each for the meals as 2 poached eggs on toast is £4.50 (we had one fried), how can that be right, we had one egg each plus 2 slices of tomato between us, and how much were the teas? So rude and so confrontational. My mum is nearly 80 years old, I just can't believe it. Shocking. I asked to speak to the manager, she said he wasn't available till the next day. Turns out he was cooking. We will never visit again.

It was soooooo busy it was absolute chaos but everything turned up (eventually)and they were friendly and it was good. More cafes should be like this 👍🦉

Very exspensive and a rip off milkshake was tiny an was filled out with icewater at the bottom! Chicken wrap was dry and bland chilli con carne was kidney con carne! Had almost no meat in it just loads of kidneys beans an swead

Since our office moved into vicinity one of my favourite places to grab some lunch. Reasonable price for quality, staff is friendly although sometimes to quick for me. Anyway, I recommend. Broad selection of good food, from lunch meals to hot sandwiches.

delicious, good price and exceptional, service very good, they know what to advise and how to give ... I recommend to everyone ... PS. Very delicious tea

Ordered a cappuccino which was so weak and watery you wouldn't recognise it as coffee. The staff behind the counter handle food and take money without washing their hands or wearing gloves, at which point we cancelled our order. Pasta was heated in plastic jugs in microwave ovens. I'd recommend giving this place a wide berth unless you don't mind any of the above! Unfortunately one star is the least one can give, it deserves 0

Welcoming ambience. Value for money .attentive service

Absolutely disgusting service! I came in with my disabled mother in a wheelchair and because she shouted a little bit the first thing the waitress said to me was 'is she going to be aggressive?' to which I said 'no' my mother then began to shout a little bit again so then she said she can't stay in here so we had to leave. I explained to her that that was discrimination and my mother cannot help it as she suffers from a brain injury and I would report them to the local council. To which she replied she had to think of the other customers. I understand she had to think of her customers but there was no tactfulness, sympathy or sensitivity about the way in which she spoke to me and no attempt in apoligising.

It is a good place for excellent coffee
