Festac Bar & Restaurant in Islington

This is our go-to destination for their wonderful and consistent coffee courtesy of their excellent barista team. Very friendly and knowledgeable baristas who know their coffee well – flat white is always perfectly texturised and velvety with luxurious microfoam and subtle creamy taste. Despite their skills, the team are really down to earth and welcoming without the attitude that typifies so many London artisan coffee joints. Anika the owner is always charming and hospitable – its obvious she genuinely cares about her customers and the place has a real community vibe.And if that wasn’t enough, they have just appointed a new chef, who has already created some culinary masterpieces. Not often I get excited about porridge but I am now addicted to his porridge with mince pie chutney concoction. And their cheese toastie with nduja is out of this world – literally oozes flavour - words won’t do it justice – you just have to try it for yourself!

Quer comer algo facil e gostoso, aqui é o lugar, adoro a sensacao de me sentir em casa, passo para tomar um simples cafe ou fazer meu breakfast, com otimos ovos benedict e bons paes, mas é so isso, nao espera algo muito alem disso

Yesterday afternoon after 5pm: entry and exit immediately. Although the place was popular, it was not clean, the tables and floor were dirty, there was a bad smell in the room, and the person behind the counter was busy with his smartphone.

The baguettes have increased in price enormously and they have 'made them thinner and smaller' ........ridiculous! You can do one or the other but not both !... for my money. Unfortunately I get these for free for CPD and it still annoys me

First time visit, serve by Shub, coffee was perfectly served and right temperature. Coffee Taste was amazing . Great service, hShub was so helpful. Will definitely visit again.
