pistacho and pickle in Islington

This little shop near Camden Lane has a range of cheeses and other gourmet grocery items for sale, but it's the cheese toast that attracted us and it was amazing. The coffee was great too.

Encontré este lugar mientras vagaba por Islington una mañana. Hacía demasiado calor y pedí un té helado, pero supongo que dejaron de venderlos en los meses fríos, así que opté por un té caliente para el desayuno inglés. Me alegro de haberlo hecho. Incluso paré a la mañana siguiente y tomé otro té caliente y una enorme dona de gelatina. El servicio era amable y rápido. Recomendado para su paseo matutino!

Locale piccolo, molto curato. Ho mangiato un panino molto buono e bevuto un caffè non buono. Personale molto gentile.

Último día en el Reino Unido y pasé por aquí para tomar un café y un bollo. He estado muchas veces hace un par de años en su antigua tienda al otro lado de la carretera, la tienda puede haber cambiado, pero el servicio y la calidad siguen siendo los mismos, genial como siempre. Muy recomendable

Estado aquí un par de veces, y cada vez que he tenido un servicio increíble de Anna! Muy amable, sin duda será otra vez.

This is clean with good coffee and a range of sweets and savouries. I tried the Portuguese Custard Tart that was fine. However there was nothing memorable about this cafe that would distinguish it form the many others in Islington.

I have not been in here for several years so as I was nearby I thought I would revisit and give it a go for a coffee and ordered a flat white. The beans they use tasted great but the coffee was served far too hot and at £3.10 was rather more expensive than places like Vagabond. Also they serve the coffee in vintage tea cups which does not work for me.

What can I say about the pickle ..... love it here not been for a while only because of work commitments .. however food is superb ... coffee is fab especially if MAT makes it... quality !! its all about the quality and this is in abundance here... they say good things come in small packages well its small for sure but it has a big big heart .. with lovely food and I really miss it....... hopefully be back soon boys love ya xx

Wandered down Liverpool Road and spotted this place, lunch of pork pie and chicken sandwich, just the ticket! Little seating area downstairs. Very sweet and attentive staff.

Good breakfast cafe place... The breakfast sandwiches are great here...very tasty!! And the selection of drinks and cheeses are great too...good takeaway and a good fix in a pinch!

I regularly visit P&P and have had most of what they have to offer on the menu. the food is fantastic and the coffee is the best around. Service is very friendly, welcoming and efficient. The cheese toastie with chilli jam is something that you must try - truly exceptional. Thanks

From the moment we step foot, we were greeted with friendly, helpful faces. We ended up spending a good few hours here meeting up with friend. There were 6 of us at most plus a dog who was allowed downstairs or outside, no issues at all. 4 of us had brunch- mushrooms on toast (£6), well done poached egg on toast with added avocado (7.50), special- breakfast burrito (£9) which was insanely delicious and the jerk pulled pork ciabatta with coleslaw and spicy pineapple chutney, also gorge (£7.50)! With pot of tea (£3), latte (£3.20) and a mocha (£3.35). My mocha was very chocolate-y. Followed by a jam donut with deliciously sweet home made jam, and a custard donut which was huge and insanely yum (£1.80 each). Long black coffee with milk is good (£2.75) and so was the iced coffee (£3.60). We opened a tab and paid at the end. The two men working were just adorable, very helpful when at he till and had a laugh with you. Even bumped into them later further down the road and they still greeted us and gave us a big smile. Would highly recommend as a treat. A bit pricey but where isn't in London.

Have a fantastic coffee here every morning. Great way to start the day. Friendly faces both from staff and regulars. Could not do without it xxx

Visited pistachio and pickle for the first time a few weekends ago. We had to wait 10 mins for a table which isn't unusual in the area. We were seated, ordered at the counter and didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive, but it is completely overpriced. if I recall correctly a teeny side of spinach, was £2. It wasn't steamed or creamed just straight out of the bag and onto my plate. Making my eggs and salmon now more expensive than a full English breakfast. Not sure I will return.

I used to live just down the road from this cafe, and having moved recently is one of the biggest things I miss about Islington. This place is a gem - the service is fantastic, the food always delicious and coffee excellent. There is seating with newspapers inside, and for the warmer months a garden in the back which acts as a complete suntrap. Its not the cheapest place to Brunch, but certainly not as expensive as Ottolenghi nearby, but without the queues or pretence. Would come back here in a heartbeat.

Good brunches,serves Monmouth Street cofffee,fortnightly supper clubs on Wednesday eves,unexpected garden at the back, also delicatessen selling artisanal British and Spanish cheeses and charcuterie, friendly vibe.

Islington has more than its fair share of places to savour a fantastic brunch and it's hard to know where to go sometimes...unless you know someone who knows something about somewhere special. Listen up because on this occasion, I am that person and that place...

Lovely idea, well executed. Personal touch, drama about the cheese of course, lively company, great fun.

My partner & I had been regulars here but I was kicked out because I didn’t spend enough! Yesterday I bought a coffee & sat journaling while I enjoyed it. After half an hour I was told, quite rudely, that my table for 2 was...

Cafe/ delicatessen serving Monmouth Street coffee, brunches, delicious pastries where you can also buy artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, fine wines.Has a friendly relaxed neighbourhood vibe with seating downstairs and in a lovely back garden.Also handy for last minute gifts as it sells beautifully packaged British...

Nice new place for coffee and lunch on Liverpool road. Enjoyed it, 25£ for two small lunch, drinks and coffees is steep for what you get. Also needs a bit of a clean.

A group of friends and I popped into P&P on a Sunday after a big night out. It is a beautiful little breakfast/brunch cafe/bakery a short distance from Angel. I had the Egg, Chorizo and Bean brunch dish but friends had the fry up. It...

...sells fabulous meats and cheese, with a recently added wine collection. Mathew ad Stephen are fine hosts, home cooked menu's make this well worth a visit
