Hot Milk Cafe in Haringey

Had a coffee and some headspace. Enjoyable, local, independent. Good atmosphere, quality coffee, lovely service! Recommended!

I came here after hearing from a friend that they did a pizza evening, came for a pizza but ended up taking one home as well for my partner because we enjoyed it so much. Also, was recommended some wine to go with our pizza and was delish. Glad we came in the evening rather than earlier as it seems to be a more family friendly place in the late noon.

Don’t know where to start. My family and I were visiting family in Bounds Green and my brother in law had told us about this love little cafe that does really good food. When we arrived there was only one other table with guests, so we took the large table beside the window, we had to ask to get the table cleaned, lots of crumbs and old food. Our orders was taking quickly by a really nice young women. 4 lots of pancakes, 1 breakfast bap and a doughnut for my youngest, along with drinks. Drinks arrived quickly and we waited for our food, drinks had been drunk and still no food, finally the food arrived apart from 1 serving of pancakes, the original waitress returned and asked if we were missing a serving, which we replied yes. After a few minutes I told everyone to carry on and eat their brunch as food was starting to get cold. After some time we asked about my pancakes to be told that they were on their way!!! Finally after everyone had finished, my pancakes turned up, on making the first cut into the pancake I can only describe as completely raw and uncooked batter oozed out. We promptly retuned this and made a complaint. The chef came out and asked what the problem was, we explained everything that had happened and he got very aggressive making as if it was our fault. My brother in law continued to explain to him about how unhappy we were with the situation, whilst I went to pay, the young man at the counter said that he had taking the cost of the drinks of the bill, no apologies. Needless to say none of us will be returning to this cafe.

It's our local cafe and the best place for a coffee and brunch in the neighbourhood (not that it has any competition) The Vegan BLT is delicious and the interior is gorgeous. Staff are v friendly as well.

Bright and bustling little cafe bringing a bit of cheer to a dreary little stretch of north London up by Bounds Green tube. Staff very friendly, coffee decent and a selection of the usual pastries on offer. Came in for brunch and was slightly underwhelmed by the lack of choice on the menu, it boiled down to a bacon butty or eggs or mushroom on toast. From memory they used to be quite ambitious with their food which is a shame, because there are places just up the road absolutely smashing the brunch offer, despite the Covid crisis.

This cafe is about 100 yards from Bounds Green Station.Just had a cup of tea.Quite cheap and the staff were very friendly.

We regularly stop there for a quick lunch. Decor is rather simple but food is nice, all freshly prepared and nicely presented. Staff is alway very frindly. Nothin special, but simply good. That's why we come back.

We had a lovely Sunday brunch, seven of us. There had been a mix up with our table booking, but we managed to get two tables next to each other even though it was busy. The staff could not have been nicer about the mix-up, we were offered a free round of coffees, they waived the tip and even emailed to apologise later. And the food itself was great - breakfast burritos much enjoyed by the kids and my father reports the heuvos racheros was the best he has eaten outside Mexico! We will be going back, best brunch in the area (and cheaper and friendlier than Muswell Hill brunches I have tried.)

An excellent cafe. Opens early enough for breakfast before the working day begins and then a great selection of perfect food throughout the day. All top quality ingredients and presentation at very fair prices. Could say decor is a thoughtful refreshing mist mash but it hangs together very well. Very welcoming efficient staff. Good mix of customers and all ages. Close to the tube.

Had a wonderful breakfast here. There was a nice variety to select from. Staff were very friendly and food delicious. Seating was good but not terrific. Everything looked clean and I had a very good experience overall. Seems to be very popular with locals for take-away coffee.

I recently visited with a friend and can’t believe the prices, it’s a rip off! It’s more expensive than Knightsbridge and Muswell Hill that have much higher business rates. They charge £3.50 for a TINY little glass of sour orange juice. The people on the table next to us were sharing breakfast as so pricey. This is Bounds Green, I feel they are taking advantage of the fact that there aren’t other sit down food places around the station. I hope more competition comes into the area. Yes, the food and coffee are nice, but it’s very noisy and full of groups of single men that take over lots of tables. It can’t be a regular visit, but a treat and you will be wasting a lot of money if you visited regularly.

The best bacon AND egg sandwich I’ve had for a long time! Great coffee. Staff were friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

We like to try a new place for brunch every Sunday. This place really hits the spot. Attractive decor, great coffee, quick and helpful staff, lovely food! Very tasty, good value breakfast burritos, and unusual but delicious avocado with corn and feta on sourdough. We'll be back!

Have been living the in the area for a while and I just managed to see this cafe. I really liked the layout and the decor of the the place. The staff is polite and smiling during the service. The menu offers both breakfast and brunch options. I had an amazing beagle and a tasty pastry. They also serve great coffee! Surely I will come back for more weekends’ brunches

I love this cafe so much. They have the best pastel de nata outside of Portugal. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. The outdoor seating is great in warm weather and they cater for pretty much all dietary requirements. A welcome addition to the area.

Just popped in whilst passing for a takeaway coffee. Fabulous coffee thank you and the menu looks great - will definitely be back! Lovely addition to Bounds Green!

Absolutely love this place. Great Californian vibe and cool decor. We come here for brunch almost every week. I love their breakfast burrito - avocado and eggs with lots of other niceties - but even their eggs on toast are amazing, with local sourdough bread...

Lovely cafe close to Bounds Green tube station with a great selection of food and lovely coffee. It’s my local cafe and is ideal for people looking for a nice place to work, families (since the owners have kids as well) and anyone in the...

A venue 30 seconds from Bounds green station. It operates as a coffee place for yummy mummy types during the day. Generally it is packed during the day so I assume it is a good space to chill. As my wife said it had cocktails...

I came into Hot Milk (right by Bounds Green Tube) for a quick take away coffee and found their Oat Milk mocha was so yummy I’ve been back a few times just to grab one. The pastries are rather luxurious too (these definitely aren’t your...

A fantastic coffee poured by the most friendly barrista's and there sweets are next level. Cool decor and clean presentation. Family friendly and a cool place to get some laptop business done.

I’ve been to Hot milk in many occasions! For a quick coffee fix, nice and easy going brunch, family bkfst, pop up nights and recently for a cocktail and a beer. What a treat this place is, everything is crafted with care and passion by...

Hot Milk is an award winning cafe for very good reason: it's great. Skinny latte and a slice of home made cake never fail to rejuvenate. Loads of space to work and natter. Close to tube. Go visit.

Lovely little coffee place, staff are always friendly and welcoming and the owners are very lovely too. Nice to have a bite to eat for brunch there too

...nay delicious, interesting food. Ignore the last load of nonsense. Great coffee too. A friendly welcome by local owners and their lovely staff. Pop up wine and cheese nights. A great little business, making a living in and amongst a piano shop. Keep up the...

We’ve been popping into the cafe regularly for coffee and avocado on sourdough which up to today has been lovely. We came in today and ordered two rounds of avocado on sourdough with a side of Halloumi each only to be provided with 3 tiny...

I popped in with my son for breakfast, and had a lovely experience. Staff were really accommodating, helping me with a high chair and chatting to my son. They put together a variation of some of their menu options for him, and kindly boxed up...

Hot Milk is at the front of a piano showroom and practice rooms. It is a fantastic addition to Myddleton Road and the team there work really hard to make everyone feel welcome.

This is now my local coffee shop. I was so happy when it opened up and I found they do a perfect flat white every time. Friendly, welcoming management and staff. They have made the most of the small space and created a wonderful coffee...

There's a bit more competition now as well but this is the best coffee in the area and I've tried a lot! They now do fresh bread to buy and have a small food menu- have tried the avocado on toast and was lovely. Also...

About 5 weeks ago I wrote a review of Hot Milk on Trip Advisor and bemoaned the lack of ham sandwiches. Today, I noticed a ham sandwich listed on the menu. It was the best I have had in a very long time. Visits to...

I come here often, several times a week - to relax, to work, to meet friends. I like it. I like the people who work here. I like the people who come here. And I like the coffee. A lot. I hope this place goes...

A wonderfully whacky coffee shop which shares its premises with a piano showroom and practice rooms. While we were there, the proprietor started playing the grand piano just inside the door. There are also pavement tables. Excellent coffee. Cakes and cookies looked good! We will...
