Midgar Coffee in Islington

Excellent as always, staff are friendly, it's always bubbling with people, love the new (not so new now) layout and extension into next door, there's usually a cute pooch about, the smell of great coffee and lovely cakes. Brilliant place to study for a few hours, or meet friends for coffee, will always recommend and will be back very soon 💕

I love this place but I have a serious problem. They charge an extra 50p for milk alternatives. This is daylight robbery. A standard 1 litre of premium oat milk for baristas costs £1.70. The equivalent for whole milk is £1.20. So 50p extra. Assuming 100 ml goes into a flat white that’s an extra 5p per serving. So how the hell does it come out as 50p!? My issue being I’m trying to do the right thing by having an alternative milk (re environment) so why am I being massively overcharged? Surely you could charge 10p, you’re still covering the extra cost and not looking like it’s profit over planet.

Delicious mocha coffee. Staff lovely and a nice atmosphere. We will definitely go back there next time we visit Bury St Edmunds.

Excellent coffee - I had a flat white. Friendly, professional and efficient staff. This cafe has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

My absolute go to place every weekend. I love everything about Midgar and have enjoyed seeing it go from strength to strength. The Coco-Sin coffee is gorgeous and all the cakes are delicious. I love the loyalty programme . On every 7th hot drink purchase you get a free item. What's not to love?!

Stopped by before lunch with friend for little caffeine top up. Great coffee, selection of cakes and pastries to die for! Very friendly, attentive and polite staff. Nothing better on the rainy miserable day than good coffee and seeing all the staff greeting you with smile on their faces. Will definitely come back

I had an amazing Pumpkin Spiced Latte (oat milk) in this friendly café....lots of vegan food available too

Stuart and the team were extremely busy just after 11am on 11/11/23. Team were coping well, very polite and friendly. Ambience and decor fantastic. Food and drinks delivered timely and on lovely crockery. Toasties, cakes and coffee tasted amazing. Well done.

Great welcome as soon as I walked into the store. Stuart and his team look after everyone and give great service. Plenty of drinks on offer and lots of lovely cakes to go with it too. A great independent coffee shop which was recently refurbished now housing extra seating and a garden out at the back. Well worth a visit !

I’ve visited midgar twice in August. On the 5th of August my partner and I dined in. When we arrived it was very busy and we waited 10-15min for our drinks to arrive and then an additional 10min for a gluten free toastie to arrive. The drinks were lovely, the toastie was okay. It tasted nice but was small for £7 and I avoided the salad as it came with a dressing that I was unsure was gluten free. I also didn’t like that although for august it was a relatively cold day and we were sat by the door (only available table) and the owner decided to open the door casting a cold wind over us, that ultimately made us decide to leave sooner. We then visited again August 12th for two take away cappuccinos. We ordered them at 11:02 and I’m still waiting for them, writing this review in store at 11:16!!! This is not good enough for a takeaway option. (Eventually received our drinks at 11:18 ) Ultimately. I wouldn’t use Midgar again for a takeaway option and would now think twice before visiting again when dining in too. Something needs to be done about wait times.

Dropped in here early one weekday morning. An incredibly warm welcome from the staff, I felt right at home. Hot choc was great. I didn't sample the treats but they looked amazing. This cafe deserves to thrive.

My smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel was great, but my wife asked for a hot cross bun that was thrown on a plate and put in front of her. Not toasted, no butter, no knife to cut it in half and very stale. Sorry Midgar, but the clue is in the name, HOT cross bun, and preferably made that day. We didn’t complain, we just never come back. I was always taught in business that it costs ten times as much to find a new customer that it does to look after an existing one. Raise your game or you won’t be there.

Friendly, helpful team. I enjoyed a delicious, fresh tasting toastie, and a sumptuous brownie - and all gluten free! Plus a great coffee. Will definitely return and highly recommend for good fresh produce.

A friendly warm cafe, thanks to the staff. Anytime of the day my new favorite place to go and relax. The coffee is fantastic and so is the food.

Our first visit to this lovely coffee house and it won’t be the last. I can highly recommend the food and especially the juices, all made on the premises.

Amazing coffee (try the Cortado) and amazing homemade cakes. The perfect location for a stop on your way into town. Go on, treat thee sen.

I had a lovely creamy coconut milk turmeric latte. The service was polite and she was the one that suggested coconut milk goes well with a turmeric latte. I also bought a large pain au raisin. That was scrumptious too. As it was a small cafe and the seats were all taken I sat on the bench in front of the cafe. I’m not from the area but if I’m visiting again I will try something else for sure.

We often visit here for coffee when visiting Bury St Edmunds. Always Great Coffee, Pastries and friendly 👍

Excellent coffee, exquisite toasties (not to be miss), lovely cakes. Great service. If you are in town you must pay a visit!

Coffee here has always been great. We started using this cafe when it first opened. We have never eaten here until today. We arrived at lunch time to find plenty of choice for seating, which surprised us. We ordered our coffees & decided to have...

Lovely decor, warm welcome with a very happy staff member and very nice tasting coffee. The menu and cakes looked very nice but I’m on a diet so passed. Would’ve got 5/5 if they had skimmed milk.

5/5 Stars, nice local independent coffee house that excels on not only Coffee but for a bit to eat also. Highly recommended

Very friendly staff,, great toasties, and the biscotti cake was divine. Would definitely recommend seeking out.

Popped here for the first time earlier this week. This is the best coffee we've ever tasted (and we drink a lot of coffee!). We enjoyed it so much that we even had to purchase a bag of coffee beans for home. The food was...

Popped in for coffee after a hot morning as a judge for Bury in Bloom. The coffee was outstanding, and the staff were so welcoming and polite. It was a joy to spend time there, and I will return to sample their food.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, helpful, cheerful, a pleasure to visit, drinks and food very good, Smoothies great

Midgar coffee is a friendly clean coffee house/restaurant in Bury St Edmunds. The choice you have for food and drinks is unmatched in the town and unlike most places everything is made fresh when you place your order. I can’t recommend Midgar enough.

Nice place, good to sit outside in the street and people watch, with a good cup of coffee and fantastic cake. Took one star off though as my partner visited the loo and said it needs some work.

As a big final fantasy nerd I was intrigued by the name of this coffee shop as I passed by doing a charity shop jaunt this morning in Bury. I googled it instantly and thankfully it wasn't just coincidence that it was called Midgar... and...

The place is lovely , the staff was really polite , kind and welcoming ! Such a cozy place to enjoy a coffe in a rainy day !! Totally recommend!

I've been to this new cafe 3 times now and the coffee, smoothies, juices and the toasties are really good. However, it feels scruffy with uncleared / unwiped tables. The single loo (that you have to squeeze past a wheelie bin to get at) is...

We have visited this establishment 3 times now. It is a relatively new business to Bury St Edmunds & a very welcome one too. This is a very relaxing place to drink very very good coffee. We haven't sampled any food, yet! Staff here are...

The is a rare find! An independent cafe with a hint of quirkiness and a really varied age range of clientele- all enjoying the tasty treats on offer. Delicious Cappuccino for me and a great Americano for my significant other. Very naughty gluten free brownie...

A new coffee shop arrived in Bury St Edmunds recently and it's great to see an independent company to support rather than the many chain coffee shops on the high street. I have been here three times, having tried a latte, Americano & Turmeric Latte,...
