Goods Office in Haringey

It felt like the people that made my breakfast really really cared about how I was going to enjoy it and I haven’t had that feeling for a very long time

Visited yesterday with son and grandchildren. Really enjoyed it. Well presented food and very tasty. Very pleasant and personable staff. Will be back,

Flick to the back of the menu and there’s a vegan page combining everything vegan throughout the menu and a few extras too. There are a couple of options at least for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I enjoyed the full vegan breakfast, energiser smoothie and an iced oat milk matcha. The atmosphere here is great and the service great too. The smoothies were a standout! Food good too, not the absolute best cooked breakfast; the scrambled tofu was particularly turmeric-y and the mushrooms a bit greasy, but they’ve put a bit of thought in and it was pretty good all the same.

Went for breakfast on a busy autumn Saturday morning, so it was pretty packed and the food took it;s time. But not unreasonably so and the service was friendly and helpful. The breakfast itself was very good, large portions and the sour dough toast was delicious. Will be back

This was the second time that we have booked the Goods Office for a private party. Anna and the team could not have been more friendly and helpful with the arrangements in advance and on the night. Our guests were very complimentary about the food (substantial canapes), drink and atmosphere. All round, a very successful evening with so much less hassle than having such an event at home.

The Goods Office is such a gem of a place to go and have food. It’s got an all day menu, a nice vibe, friendly staff, and great food. We love that it’s right next to Parkland Walk, and that you could go camp out there for the day, working away, with coffee refills, and the option of breakfast and lunch for a great price.

I arrived at goods office today with a party of 5 and was seated without a booking. It was my friends birthday and the gave a cocktail on the house as well as top notch service with a smile as always! The brunch was amazing and they catered to all of our fussy needs and gave a birthday brownie with a candle to finish! Absolutely amazing guys you never fail to amaze us!

Delicious brunch - marred by extremely slow service. (50 minutes wait for breakfast. Waiters not visible and not paying attention to customers needs. I’ve been trying to get waiter’s attention for the last 20 minutes. Such a shame to have a lovely venue and food ruined by inattentive staff, especially as it wasn’t busy.

Large group of us came for brunch - the service was quite slow but the food was good and all dietary requirements/picky eaters were catered for. Full of families, friends and dogs!

Celebrated a friends birthday this weekend and Goods office was lovely space in N4. Really delicious cocktails and snack food, staff were fun and efficient - nothing too much trouble. I like the deco and space outside with seating and heaters. Also the location on Ferme park road between Finsbury Park and crouch end. Always seems popular in the day for coffee and breakfast when passing. Thank you

Delicious, relaxed brunch and great service. Went for the mushrooms and rösti and loved it. Will be back in Spring for the roof terrace if not before

A long-overdue review of my favourite London venue. Having lived in London for 10 years, finding the Goods Office felt like finally finding my 'local'. Whether for a take-away pink chai latte with oat milk (made especially hot at my request) as my daily lock-down pilgrimage whilst working from home, or with family or friends to celebrate over cocktails, or simply a post-workout weekend vegan brunch, the Goods Office is always my choice, for the atmosphere, sound-track, service and food. A particular favourite is the vegan cheese toastie. Everything you could want from a local venue, and now once-monthly live music to look forward to as well. Above all else, getting to know all the staff over the last few years has been wonderful- a real treasure at the end of my road. Can't recommend highly enough. :)

Bland, grainy veggie bean burger with too much onion jam on top. Fell apart at the first bite. Salad (particularly spinach leaves) was clearly unwashed - bits of soil/mud on the leaves. This was very unappetising, & especially dangerous as I'm pregnant. Was surprised my otherwise-kind waitress was defensive when I showed her my unfinished plate and muddy spinach. Just insisted the kitchen bought pre-washed salad & then gave it an extra rinse. Said she'd follow up with the staff then never said anything. Not worth paying £20 for that experience & cant take the risk I'll be served unwashed food again.

I emailed the owners, Emma, Andrew and Anna after our hugely disappointing visit to The Goods Office on Sunday. No response! We waited over an hour for food, which when it arrived was largely cold. It wasn’t surprising - we saw my “hot” food waiting in some sort of warmer, whilst other food of ours , which was supposed to be served cold, was prepared. It doesn’t make sense. I sent back the beans from my breakfast which got “nuked” and at least on return then warmed up the cold sausages. The hash browns were both cold and rock hard - how is that even possible? Lovely scrambled tofu - probably nicer if actually hot. It was quite busy when we arrived, but emptied quickly and there is no excuse for the slow service. Do all customers wait an hour? I felt particularly sorry for our waitress. She is was nice enough and certainly holds no blame. What grated most was that as I expressed my disappointment to her when paying the bill at the till a few of the senior team were within earshot. They could have intervened, said something, offered support, but instead, nothing. You’ll see now why it was so disappointing. We have passed the restaurant a number of times and seen how inviting it looks. Shame the story inside isn’t so good. Better luck with other customers next time.

We've had breakfast here a couple of times & really enjoyed it! - the full english was gorgeous & probably one of the best we've had for sure! Got to try the porridge on another occasion which was just to die for! Super creamy & full of flavor! We found portion sizes were perfect as well. All floor staff were so lovely & welcoming too the minute you walked through the door! We're really looking forward to coming back when in London next :)

What an absolute gem of a place ! We stopped by for an early tea and couldn’t have found a better place. Food was hearty and delicious. Above all, what a brilliant atmosphere - so friendly and welcoming. It’s a favourite already - would most...

Came off the parkland walk for lunch with friends Sat outside and seemed to be the forgotten people Ordered food Had to wait 55 minutes for food which when we asked where it was they said it very busy which it wasn’t Food was very...

Had a fantastic lunch at the goods office with family. The staff were attentive, fantastic cocktails. The atmosphere was brilliant and the food was delicious.

We had a lovely night with family at the Goods Office. The food was great, especially the fried chicken and the fresh doughnuts. The service was attentive and friendly. We also tried the espresso martini’s which we would definitely recommend.

I visited the Goods Office for the first time and had a lovely evening of food and drinks. As i have to follow a gluten free diet, I contacted the restaurant prior to my visit to check there were food options for me. The owners...

But….unbelievably overpriced; the food is okay but about 20% more expensive than it should be compared to similar places in Stroud Green or Crouch End.

I’ve been to the Goods Office many times as it’s just down the road from my house. It’s a great addition to the neighbourhood, with really friendly owners and staff and a menu that changes regularly. I recently tried their full English breakfast and it...

Goods Office is situated at the very beginning of Ferme Park Road. I think that makes it part of Stroud Green and the N4 postcode classifies it as such. Post Office geeks (like me) will say that N4 is Finsbury Park and N8, 600 metres...

We had cocktails, chicken and pizza. Enjoyed the drinks and the service was very pleasant. Food was ok but nothing more; perhaps a little overpriced for the quality. Unfortunately we were over charged for food that we didn't have but they refunded promptly and apologised...

Don’t bother if you have another option. Staff moved us halfway through. Writing this sentence to ensue I meet character count.

Had a great night at Goods office thank you Gracie for being an amazing, helpful server! Will definitely be back because of her

I visited this place regularly for coffee and light lunch before lockdown, and it was fantastic every time. They have excellent veggie and vegan options, and are so helpful when you ask for non-dairy choices. Their coffee is fabulous - I go out of my...

I've loved both my visits to Goods Office. I will happily go back. The food is yum. I can sit outside under an awning, with my own heating control on the wall! The staff are fun and lovely. Thank you.

We met with friends for lunch that we have not seen much of since lockdown. The service was excellent and all 4 of us ordered something different - giving us a chance to see what other items looked like. We all cleared our plates! I...

We’ve been for a drink previously and this time called in for lunch. They’re fried chicken was recommended (by the menu - it said it was famous) and did not disappoint. Deserves the title and will be having it again! Staff were also lovely and...

Standard pub food and amateur service which - with the unemployed excellent waiters around today - is inexplicable. Food - burger ok (only) but small and overpriced. Waiter ‘I don’t know anything about wine’ (why not?). Waited ages for order to be taken and for...

This is such a nice place to sit outside and have a drink. Staff super friendly but the food was truly tasteless. The Mac and cheese was terrible. No seasoning at all. Barely any cheese. The pizza awful too. Didn’t like to say anything as...

We've been a number of times with family and friends for brunch/lunch and dinner and the Goods Office is really a fantastic find. A great menu, great cocktails (love The Hugo), the food is always delicious and the staff are friendly and welcoming. This really...

We had half an hour to while away; popped in here, and glad we did. Great local atmosphere and coffee!

We walked in and every single spare table was full of the previous persons food and crockery. We cleaned our own table and put it on the table next to us, where it remained until we left. Not very pleasant to sit next to when...

We popped here for brunch and loved it! Great choice and the food was delicious. Staff were really accommodating when we were asking for changes to the food in our hungover state (sorry guys but thank you!) Friendly service and great food, we’ll deep go...

We live round the corner and pop in often. Yummy coffee and friendly staff. Great place to go for brunch, I think they are making some great changes and put on some great nights. Worth popping in to see what’s coming up.

We held our wedding reception at the Goods Office. Throughout the process of organising, ordering canapes and wine, then attending, Anna and the team made it all as easy as possible. We had an extremely happy time, very well fed and looked after, with guests...

My friend and I were enjoying a great evening, food good, wine, friendly service until the staff started cleaning, wanting us to settle the bill. The whole restaurant suddenly smelt of cleaning fluid. They were advertised to close at 11.pm, it was 10pm. When challenged...

I hope the service has picked up from when we visited in May as it is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. Good Sunday lunch.

Wanted to try this pace for a while as it's around the corner from my home and looks like just the place where you can sit all day and do a spot of work (and much more spacious than the tiny holes of coffee shops...

Popped in here for a beer the other night and it's just not the place to do it. This is not a dig against the place at all - it's got a great location and looks really smart. I just felt completely out of place...

Good food and coffee, nice people, outdoor seating. What more do you need? Great for a brunch or to sit and work. Recommended.

I love the food at Goods Office, especially weekend brunch whether I choose the granola, eggs and avocado or vegan breakfast. I love the dinner too, frequently choosing the fish of the day and sometimes have the fried chicken which is fantastic. Lovely people all...

Went here for Mother’s Day brunch and although it was busy, the service, food and staff on shift were all excellent! We all had the full English which was delicious and extremely filling! Good to note that your can hire the space for private parties/events....

First time we have visited this restaurant and will be going again. Great food and service, cant fault it at all. Very well presented and top quality food. Very clean, nicely decorated and all open plan. We will definitely be returning.

Friendly atmosphere, great local place for a roast with a good selection of beers and wines. Good portion sizes but the plates were a bit small.

Great food. Great service. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Not the biggest craft ale fan, but staff pointed me in the right direction, and I’m glad they did. Definitely coming back.

I had high hopes of this place as it's around the corner from my home. The number one disappointment has to be service. The place was nearly empty - just me, plus a table of half a dozen and a couple with dog who were...

This was our first visit since it opened, and since it has started offering large plates. The food was excellent - we shared five different small plates as starters; all of them good. The baked sea bass I had as a main was really tasty...

This is the second time we have eaten at The Goods Office and both times it has been outstanding. Yesterday we had Sunday lunch with our children which can often be over cooked with cheap gravy and dry roast potatoes. Not here. It was delicious!...

Spent a lovely evening at The Goods Office. They definitely deliver the goods! A cosy friendly atmosphere with delicious dishes and friendly attentive staff who obviously love what theyre doing. We will back :-)

I would really like to say that we have enjoyed our experiences in this restaurant, although there are some positives, Our last visit was not the best. We live very locally, have looked forward to the opening of a new restaurant where we can pop...

We had a great evening there last week. Despite it being a quiet evening, the restaurant wasn't lacking in atmosphere. The food was super, and the service great, very friendly and helpful. An interesting menu, a bit like an English contemporary take on tapas. Will...

Great food Great feel to the place Great people If I lived nearer I’d be a regular Looking forward to returning asap

I've been to Goods Office twice now and definitely plan on returning! The menu has so many fantastic choices it's always so hard to make a decision. Prawns, croquettes and halloumi were particularly good. The venue has a friendly, cosy atmosphere so it's a great...

This is my new favourite place! Great coffee, nice drinks and the food has been superb all three times I’ve been. It is both family friendly (my daughter has enjoyed the kids menu) and suitable for a nice, adult evening out. Love the small plates,...

Fantastic evening at The Goods Office. Really friendly service, great atmosphere, fantastic food. Couldn’t fault it. Small plates are the perfect way to enjoy a really sociable evening - we were with teenage kids and family friends. Will be back, soon. Desperate to try those...

Delicious small plates, of about 12 we have ordered over 3 visits I think only one was a little disappointing, the rest being very good and a couple being exceptional. The house wine is good value and the service efficient and friendly.

The little neighbourhood of Stroud green has been watching and waiting a long time for the opening of this cafe on the corner of Ferme Park Road. I’m afraid my first visit there this morning was a disappointment, they are going to need to do...

As a new local restaurant we so wanted our first experience to be 'Good'. Instead we were left with a bad taste in our mouth from under seasoned, bland food - the portions were so small that we just about got 1 polenta chip each!...
