Joy Cafe Bar & Juicery in Islington

Very very good … great food , great service cheers 👍🏻😎

The food was great but the service made it absolutely fantastic, the waitress was amazing and she was very polite! Definitely coming back!

Super rude to not let someone to use the bathroom! I poped in on Friday morning, and asked politely if I can use the bathroom because I had appointment at the next door beauty salon but the lady was a bit late. The server behind the bar refused and she said that she is just following the order… how rude is that not to let a human being use bathroom?! I understand if a person looks dodgy or dirty or rude you don’t want to let in, but a we’ll dressed, kind woman who waits for an appointment in a beauty salon next door… anyway! I was even think to grab a juice after but thanks no! I will spread the word about this discrimination! Shame on this place!

Hidden gem! ⭐️ I’ve got delicious sandwich and coffee along with great customer service. Highly recommended if you’re nearby.

I CAN'T FAULT JOY'S It has a very relaxing easy going ambience, it's spotlessly clean, and the seating areas are generously spread out with cheerful background music... The staff are ALL very kind friendly and accommodating, paying great attention to detail, and nothing is to much trouble, weather you have a meal, or just a simple coffee and cake, you get the same standard of service. The food and drinks are made to order, and are always very enjoyable, with competative prices. It is just soooooo nice to go to an independant cafe and see it gradually become successful. Long may it continue !!!

The food was amazing, we had the classical english breakfast with orange juice. The service was also really good, very polite and nice waiter. Highly recommend!

Love love love this cafe!! Can't recommend it enought the food is great and customer service is always so friendly and polite.

I recently visited Joy Coffee Shop and had a wonderful experience! The staff, Gjeison and Iza, were incredibly friendly, which made my time there even more enjoyable. I tried the cheesy chicken wrap, and it was absolutely amazing—definitely a must-try! The coffee quality was impressive; I learned that they use Italian beans, and you can really taste the difference. Overall, a lovely spot for both great food and excellent coffee!

One of the most friendly coffee shop in the are ,great atmosphere and the best coffe (if u ate a coffee lover that's where u have to go )

Top place run by super friendly brothers.

Amazing service and fantastic food. Quite a find!

Went in yesterday after having a not so good experience in here and omg what a difference the food was amazing the service was fantastic and the atmosphere calming and to top it off I was able to take my dog , would definitely recommend this cafe .

Best experience ever, Recommended,

Amazing customer service. We ordered a latte and a smoothie, I don’t usually drink smoothies but tried my sisters and it was amazing! So refreshing! Really nice atmosphere, I got a lot of work done!

Came here after playing football with a few mates across the road, was served by Jason. It’s a really nice coffee shop and was happy with the service. I recommend this place!

Amazing find in N19 smack bang on the Holloway the middle of what they call “the hood”. Had a smashing’ fruit juice and veggie breakfast followed by an iced latte with soy milk. What more could you ask for. Super attentive and friendly staff who are part of this family owned and run eatery. It’s a must if you’re in this part of town…!

Lovely spot. Great sausages lol

Highly recommend food was excellent staff are excellent very friendly environment is 10/10 family members they should try this place they have a piano they have lovely drinks caffe the best PASCUCCI de caffe

I love this cafe. The staff is really nice, and they make the best coffee in town. Highly recommended!

Jason was a pleasure. Extremely nice and welcoming. Will be coming back again for sure

Amazing food, people and coffee!

If you’re looking for great food, great vibe and supa friendly service, look no further! Joy is the ‘go to’ cafe in north London. They offer a large selection of healthy food, juices, coffees and teas. Joy’s Top chef Isa is always looking for new and improved recipes. She’s currently making the best Gazpacho I ever had. Highly recommended!!

Overall good but minor touches like brown sauce with the Fry Up is a must. Expand condiment selection for this type of joint. Service was very friendly but not overwhelming. Considering we were the only and first customers as they opened doors - a flat white should not be forgotten..a 20min wait for a coffee and still applied to the bill. Minor tweaks could make this place really special so look forward to coming back in the near future!

Everything was amazing! Great food options, amazing service from Jason and very affordable!good job guys really enjoyed!

I'm so sad, this place was so unique, the decor was very whimsical and special and the garden was beautiful. We went back after a year and found it changed into a more generic cafe. I'm sure the food and the service is wonderful still, but I think it lost its essence

We've been going to Joy for a while now and always have a delicious meal, with good portions at reasonable prices. There's always a lot to choose from on the menu with LOADS of veggie options. They've recently changed management and the menu seems a bit smaller but all the staff are super nice and welcoming and we had a great time. They've lost the garden now which is a shame and the decoration seems a bit more generic, we missed the quirky indoor furniture and outdoor space; but we did enjoy the Latin music playing in the background. Most importantly the food remains delicious and it's the perfect spot for food, smoothies, juices etc. We particularly enjoyed the Mushroom vegball wrap and club med toastie!!

Lovely place for coffee, juice, and food. The atmosphere was cute, and everything we had was delicious. I had the sunset awe smoothie, and it was one of the best smoothies I’ve ever had!

Service was great, I had a smoothie and a halloumi and avocado which went down very well. The atmosphere was soothing too. I would highly recommend

Great service, staff were extremely warm and kind. Interior was very brown.. it appears to have been recently remodelled and as a consequence has lost a lot of charm and character. Food was pretty good, veggie breakfast was a bit random (sweet potato fries don't belong on breakfast) and cold when it arrived.

Joy cafe brings warmth and comfort to me everytime I visit. its atmosphere is Just right. i love the food and service and most important it is Immaculate and Earth Friendly.

Joy Cafe is a unique Gem that one should not miss. its atmosphere clearly reflects its name. its a charminG and MAGicAL place and the food prepared by Jason is Generous and delicious. hiGhly Recommended. GG

Jayson had an amazing customer service . Put a smile on my face :)

Was my first time here and did not disappointed! The coffee shop inside is nice with very cute details, menu got vegan option and meaty option so there is something for everyone! I'll definitely come back.

I’m going to leave an honest and fair review.. It’s now £13.50 for a veggie breakfast, which is high even if it is 2024. For the price I thought ok fair enough as long as the quality is there like it used to be.. but unfortunately It wasn’t. For example the cherry tomatoes used to be so soft and flavourful but today there were hard and bland in flavour. The eggs didn’t seem to be at their best either and the bread seemed to be just a everyday brown bread nothing special. No seeds, no sourdough, no nothing. & like I mentioned, for the price you are expecting quality which not receive, the only quality I got was in the service, very welcoming and friendly. You can’t have it both ways guys, high price n lower quality. Just being honest, this place was a gem.. I left there feeling kinda ripped off tbh.. :/ Good luck anyhow!

This place was magic once. A cool mix of cosy and bohemian. So cool. And it had a delightful outdoor space which was unique in london. It’s got new owners who are very nice but I prefer it as it was. Still nice though.

Very nice staff and polide.Food very good and a recoment

The staff are very Friendly and i love their environment for setting and their foods options are very impressive.. Most important their vegan's options are too good. I will come again..Thank you.

Loved this place! Super quirky, edgy, floral and warm! Food was great and the whole cafe had a vibe!

Beautiful place, amazing people , fabulous service

De passage à Londres super bon café ! Large choix de menu déjeuner, jus d’orange frais !

First time visiting Joy Cafe and what got my attention is the kindness of staff, energy, service and most importantly the foods that chef cooks with passion and detail to taste, presentation and quality 🙏📣 Highly recommend to pop down, they have a lot of options to choose from and of course the vibes are great which is important ❤️ 10/10 and check them out on instagram 😉😎

Very expensive for a basic salad, small portions

Cute garden in the back, lovely food and service.

I had a lovely breakfast Great Staff my 2 13 year old toy poodles love the place they get a share of the breakfast I go every day Iam retired just my dogs

It’s okay but not like the photos. The male manager seems soulless

Very friendly and kind staff, great environment with amazing food and drink. New management team is amazing and really caring about their customers. 10/10 love it here. Must visit if you’re in the area!

I had the best breakfast here and very affordable. The cafe is beautiful inside and in the garden

Originell und absolut cosy .Flower Café mit sehr symphatischer flotter Bedienung 😘😀👋

This is my favorite local café. It has a secret garden, lovely staff, perfect ambience for a cozy afternoon with friends or (how I mostly enjoy it) just reading with a tasty cup of tea. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options to indulge yourself, great coffee and delicious variety of fresh juice, if you fancy something more natural. Highly recommend!

The beast of archway sandwich i had was the most delicious thing iv had from a cafe in a while. Pancakes were nice as well, and people were friendly. Plus theres a lovely garden in the back.

Friendly cafe, excellent Rocky Road :-)

For somewhere called ‘JOY’ cafe the staff seem miserable! Cheaper than other places in london but this is for a reason. Food is nothing special so just go somewhere else. Don’t waste your time I’m sure the positive reviews must be fake

Didn't look like much from the outside, but there is a little room in the back, which is cozy and warm. Service was nice and paid attention. The food and drinks were super tasty and satisfying.

Restaurante pequeno mas com grande variedade de sabores. Conta com um menu muito interessante, com opções vegetarianas super saborosas. Super criativo, mistura sabores e cores na perfeição. Amei. Comi o wrap de falafel e tomei um capuccino com leite de aveia que estavam perfeitos. Quase não ficamos, porque ao chegarmos, a menina que nos recebeu disse-nos que não havia mesa e que não havia previsão. Então entramos para ver o restaurante por dentro (q eu ainda não conhecia), e, para sorte nossa, havia uma mesa disponível no pátio dos fundos e outras 2 mesas finalizando, conseguimos sentar até no interior do restaurante (estava um dia muito frio).

Beautiful place, Tasty coffee❤️ and nice full English breakfast.

I have loved this place for years but recently it’s gone downhill. The portions are very small & the prices remain the same. There appears to be a new chef, I’m not sure if it has been taken over but it’s a real shame if it has. I won’t be coming back for a while at least.

Lovely place with friendly staff

Love this place for a tea before picking kids up from school

Both myself and my mum loved our experience at Joy. This place has so many colours, vintage design which truly make you feel cozy and at home. Nice food presentation and tasted flavour. All freshly made!

Food overpriced for what you get. Table was sticky and chairs look dirty

Intimate and charming brunch venue with a certain nuance to it! Orange juice average, but food is lovely. Got meaty breakfast!

Dobrá cena, slušný výběr v menu, skvělá obsluha a příjemné prostředí

Loved this little cafe - a huge, varied menu with naughty and healthy options. I came away feeling like I'd had more than my 5 a day, but my taste buds were still delighted.

Wonderful place tasty drinks and food and awesome staff

Amazing place and delicious food. Would 100% recommend. Staff are also very friendly.

Amazing food, amazing smoothies and amazing staff. Definitely would recommend if your in the area

Been such a joy to live round the corner for the last year. Amazing food, decor, garden & staff, at a very reasonable price; definitely the best cafe I've ever visited. Would recommend the sunset awe smoothy!

Such an amazing place, tastes as good as it looks like

Really cute cafe with lovely staff and the food was amazing!

This is a really top spot and hidden gem , lovely staff and owner. We sat in the back terrace and all three of us loved breakfast (blueberry pancakes/Eggs/ Toasted ham , cheese and red onion sambo) and a quirky pot of tea for three , a world away from the Holloway Road outside. Get in there 👍🏻

This place is in my local area and it is a hidden diamond. Cosy, warm deco feels like you are at a friend's home. Search for them on instagram. Food is freshly made and delicious. Lots of veggie options and fresh meals and juices. Staff is kind and focused on customer service. Update: lovely as always 🙂

I really liked the place! They have every type of brunch menu and it's a cute place :) The portion and taste was also nice.

Cute and quirky cafe with plenty of vegan food options, desserts, juices and smoothies. Highlight is the secret garden at the back.

Gorgeous little place, with lovely coffee and fab decor xxx

I enjoy the food everytime I dine here

Koruna beautifully served us wonderful food and drink. We enjoyed mega breakfast, classic breakfast, veggie breakfast and a cheese toastie. Right from calling ahead to gauge availability Koruna was lovely and welcoming. What a menu!! Nothing was too much hassle for the staff. The unwanted avocado was really added to another plate. When curious, Korina described the tea, it's origins and flavours. Her passion for food and drink was warningly inspiring. She even showed us her collectible tea press and excitedly described the history. Splitting the bill (in our unnecessarily complicated way) was no bother despite them being short staffed. The smoothies are fabulous. The food is excellent. Tea is beautiful. Spoil yourself and support Korina and her husband by visiting here for a treat you'll remember.

Amazing place for brunch, with a very friendly staff. They have plenty of vegan options both for drinks and meals. We went there on a Sunday morning for a brunch and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff was very welcoming, the food was really good and the price was really on point. We were four and it was a bit tight to fit, but we managed and it still was a pleasure. We had two plant based smoothies that were delicious! We also had the avocados on toast and the very veggie, both really solid choice. I would simply recommend the staff to ask if they should put chilli seeds on the avocado before serving because I found it a bit too spicy for my taste (I have 0 spice resistance). All in all a very solid choice for a brunch!

Always the nicest service, best food and awesome environment, I love Joy

Joy is literally amazing! Food was great and from the first bite I could tell that they use high quality ingredients. You can have a very filling meal under 10£. Everything is fresh and most of the foods are healthy too. I have tried the halloumi and avocado wrap which I really recommend. They also have a great selection of coffees, smoothies and teas. They have very particular teas with the most interesting combinations. The café is quite small but it's very cosy and warm. Staff was kind and helpful. If you feel like the table is sticky, don't worry! The stickiness comes from the material from which it was made, it's not dirt. Highly recommended!!

Really great menu, good portions and fantastic service. The only problem is how long I took to go there in the first place!

Such a lovely place for brunch or just coffee. The small outside garden in the back is a true gem.

The ambiance was comforting and inviting, an ideal eatery to start the weekend. Unfortunately the service was slow, coffee was cold , but a replacement was offered which was spot on though I had to point out the staff. I am not sure I would return any time soon.

Didn't have time to stay and eat as my train home unexpectedly got brought forward. However, the interior decor and atmosphere are lovely and warm, the staff are very pleasant and helpful, the food and drinks served are excellent and the prices are extremely reasonable. Will definitely make time to come again when I'm in London next 😄

Great food. Friendly staff. Nice cosy interior

Staff were friendly, and the decor of the restaurant was cute. Loved the house teapot! However, my main concern was the hygiene. The table was sticky, dirty and the floor was not clean. The crockery was also sticky. The chair was uncomfortable and not the right height for the table. The food was good, especially the portion sizes but I was a little afraid to eat so left over half. I won’t be returning purely because it didn’t feel clean.

Definitely a charming place ! 🎄 I’d love to come here again ! ☕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Brilliant food and owners are great.

Lovely garden, great atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food

A real gem in Holloway road! We will definitely come back, service was super nice and a lots of different things to choose from, I would definitely recommend!

Fabulous juices and scrumptious breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff a joyous time was had indeed 😁

Delicious food and wonderful staff. This place really warmed my heart and I totally recommend it!

Fantastic food, great prices and great service. 10/10, would highly recommend

Seating area is tranquil yet lively. 10/10.

Great food, delicious jucies and lovely garden 😋

A really lovely little cafe for a quiet spot of lunch. Great sandwiches, wraps and drinks - we will need to head back again to try more of the menu. The decor is kitsch in the best way, and the place is deceptively spacious - wouldn't have known about the outside space from passing by! Thanks to the staff for being so kind and attentive.

Love it. Beautiful garden and fantastic customer service.

Great seating area in the rear. Lots of character to this place. Interesting menu. Quality coffee.

Beautiful little place. It's like the TARDIS, a lot bigger inside. Outdoor seating area at the back, although alot of mummies meet there so the seating out back is like gold dust! Well worth a visit. Wonderful food.

A quirky but nice place! We’ve visited twice so far. The first time: we’ve ordered a spirulina sky latte but received a smoothie since the coffee machine was broken. Falafel wraps were really tasty, tho! The second time: when we ordered iced neon lattes they came with no coffee added, so we ended up drinking oat milk with ice and syrup 🤪 I also got avo on toast which was delicious, so no complaints! Lovely back garden (but watch out if it’s rainy!) Seems like there’s some room improvement for the table service or I’m simply very unlucky when it comes to this place 🧐 lovely people, though!

Always a good choice!! Coffee is very good quality, quantities are big and food delicious. The cure or beast of archway are incredible and always my choice. Join it with a smoothie and there is no better solution for a hungover than to go for brunch here in their lovely back garden.
