Roastery and Toastery in Camden

The location of this modest cute place is superb, the vibe is lovely. Pretty busy in the morning at quite reasonable prices on beverages too. Unfortunately the coffee was inadequate, and the staff might just be too overwhelmed to be friendly / making good drinks. My coffee was super watered down, and the beans they used was probably not very good to start with, very disappointing.

Perfect place for a coffee and a scrumptious toastie! Highly recommend ‘the frenchie’

I loved their food so much that as soon as I finished my meal, i planned to come back again the next day. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and it’s a nice spot to sit and eat or drink some coffee. If you go right around when they open you can enjoy your food at the counter in the shop window, watch the passersby, and have a lovely morning. I’d go every day if I could.

Popped in for a cappuccino before catching the train and was very impressed with the quality of the coffee! So delicious and the member of staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be going back.

Rude, unfriendly and hostile staff. The way one of them women was talking to me was like she was an 8 year old who doesn’t know how to have a civilised conversation. Also they don’t inform you of anything and acted as if I was bothering them somehow :/ really weird people.

Their roast is really poor, especially the bags - acrid dark roast, oxidised, really unpleasant. The croissant was the worst I've had in a long time - no crisp, had picked up savoury odours and flavours from something else clearly. Avoid.

One of the cutest little cafés I've been to in London. Delicious coffee, delicious toasties, and the lady who runs it is an actual angel. Highly recommend.

Cute tiny coffee spot, lovely service. great way to start the day visiting this place :)

Oh, wow! My new favourite place for coffee and lunch. I moved into my new art studio a few minutes away from this cafe, and I must say they serve the BEST coffee in the area (maybe even in London?) and their toasties are to die for. I'll definitely be back for more! The place is tiny, but very atmospheric and the lady behind the counter (the owner most likely?) was so, so nice. Very homey, positive vibes :)

Staff veramente gentile e colazione ottima.

Best coffee in the neighborhood

Great coffee, tasty sandwiches and friendly staff :)

Extremely delicious food, very cute little place and nice ladies :)

Walking along the road from Camden Market towards Chalk Farm brought me to the tube station area. at the side of that building, I found this cozy little cafe. Which has 3 yellow tables outside on the sidewalk. There were about 3-5 more seats inside. A real small and beautiful place. They make the toasts on site from scratch. Next to the coffee machine was a large selection of vegan milk such as nut milk, almond milk, soy milk and oat milk. Until it was my turn to order, I saw the girl who works there, preparing a sandwich for the customer who was standing in line before me. Its looked yummy. I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk. The coffee was served in a recyclable cardboard cup. I sat outside in the sun, enjoying the delicious coffee.

I visited London weekly for a year, and my college was in chalk farm, and I was lucky enough to pass Roastery and Toastery every day when I was in London. It was truly the highlight of my time in London to visit the wonderful staff at this café. I truly cannot say enough good things about these wonderful people, the staff are genuinely incredible!

I got a croissant for £2.80 at 10 am today. It was not fresh. It was from yesterday. Very disappointing.

Unfortunately they were out of the vegan sandwich option, so I had a raspberry almond cake instead, which was good. The orange juice definitely was not freshly squeezed (or at least mixed with packed oj).

Great coffee and food including toasted sandwiches, pastries and more. Their toasties are absolutely delicious 😋

I was walking past the store having just come out the station and was immediately drawn to the smell of toasties. I was hungry at the time, and the name roastery and toastery sealed the deal for me. The staff were very friendly and there were good options to choose from. I went for a ‘Ham It Up’ and oh my GOD it was good. The ham is really good quality, also has some really nice cheese and spring onion. I will definitely be back, and will be mentioning this store on my radio show next week! Thank you team! UGH, 👏🏻SO 👏🏻GOOD.

Lovely place! The food we tried, both savoury and sweet, was delicious. Good price and staff was lovely. My favorite was the ham and cheese croissant, warm, crispy and so good! We've just moved to this area so we will be coming often!

Great coffee and toastie!! Would recommend! Love the name of the shop, we would buy a Tshirt!

Great coffee and food selection. And the staff are great!!! My favourite in the area!

Really nice place! Very friendly bartender!

Lovely local cafe with super friendly staff. It gets quite busy sometimes so need to be patient but that just shows how many people come here! Dog friendly. Good coffee and delicious toasties (dude ja and reuben are my personal faves). Will miss it once we move out!

Great toasty in a lovely atmosphere, great music and smiley service.

Their toasties are delicious and the coffee is also very good quality. Will go back again.

I've just experienced the nicest toastie ever in the history of toasties!!! Wow, this really is the best toastie I've ever had 😋

Lady at the till did not give me back change on a £10 note, it makes the small hot chocolate very expensive.

I never thought I could enjoy a toasted sandwich so much. I highly recommend the classic

Still chasing the recipe to their classic toastie - one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had.

Great cup of quality commuter coffee - Didn’t try the toastie. I left my wallet down the road on Friday Where a person found and kept it for me safe. They passed it into these kind people’s hands, Like a leather baton in a relay race Where the finish line is me smiling. Thanks and thumbs up from a scatterbrain student; They’d be a lot less happy now if not for places Where kindness is common. :~)

Coffee and cheese toasties = breakfast of champions The toasties were yum. Joe definitely won this one with his Dude Ja sourdough toastie - it was delicious. I opted for something a bit smaller with the Beanie Toastie. I was a bit confused about how the menu stated "house made beans", but then saw an empty store bought baked bean tin in the bin 😬 Nevertheless, it was tasty, but really nothing to shout about. The service was a bit strange. When we ordered the toasties, we were told they would be around 10 minutes as they are made fresh (obviously this is fine, we expect them to be fresh), but were made to feel like it was a bit of an inconvenience 🤔 This is definitely a take away spot. There wasn't really much room to sit down as they are lacking storage and had boxes under the benches. The door is left open, so on a cold November day, it wasn't the most comfortable breakfast! Definitely order one of their sourdough toasties and a drink, but to go. The value for money is VERY good. £1.90 for a cup of tea in London - yes please. The order: Beanie Toastie (house beans, applewood smoked cheddar) - £4.90 Dude Ja (nduja, smoked cheese, peppers, rocket, spring onion) - £7.00 Flat White - £2.30 Tea - £1.90 📅 Visited in November 2022

Best toasties I’ve bought. I always find it tricky to buy toasties and went through a long stood of not buying them because they were always disappointing. Either not enough cheese or other flavours, or not toasted well enough. The R&T toasties however, have the perfect amount of cheese and flavours. Recommend the R&T house toastie or the mushroom sourdough toastie. Bonus is the customer service has always been the best. Really friendly and helpful staff in a cute and cosy location.

El mejor café que he tomado en toda la semana! La galleta también buena. Y la chica super simpática

Small, friendly little place for a boost of caffeine or a bite of fresh baked items. Always served with a smile. Fairly quick with a few seats if needed. Presented in disposable cups even if sitting in.

Expected a great toastie (which I definitely got - whatever cheese they use is excellent) but what I didn’t necessarily expect was great coffee. Flat white was a perfect blend of milk and coffee with lovely nutty notes. Also love the 1930s vibe shopfront. Will be back.

Delicious mushroom toasty and flat white. Just what I needed after a difficult day :)

I had to actually check the colour of my latte to confirm there was any coffee in it.. I did not particularly want a cup of hot milk thanks

Friendly, warm service and the princess toastie, is awesome! Definitely going back

O Staff é muito simpático Ambiente muito acolhedor Parabéns e… continuem!!!!!!

Great stop right by the station - friendly staff, good coffee and great toasties. Thanks

The best place for everything! The Frenchie and Reuben sandwiches are fantastic and the coffee is the definitely the best in the area. Even things like the juice and pastries are amazing!

Wonderful, consistently good and hot coffee. Super friendly staff and good atmosphere. There is a cute board for patrons to leave sticky notes, which I find to be a warm welcome. I also have a frequent customer card, and am close to a free coffee!!! Highly recommend this place if you're in Camden, or coming off the Chalk Farm tube station.

Great coffee shop. Tasty coffee and bakery, sandwiches!

Nduja toasted sandwich stole my heart. Great place for a snack Will be back for more!

Really Superb Coffee and Truly Fantastic Toasties. I used to get my coffee from “Taylor Street” (best in London), and I really rated the coffee I had from here. They also offer a select range of alternative milks. The “FRENCHIE” Toasty I ordered was richly flavored, and I was NOT disappointed. This is a small place which punches above its size, and that is solely due to the dedication of the staff.

Amazing location for coffee ☕ on the tube or after long journey 👍great coffee with happy professional service...🙏👍

Amazing toasties and lovely lady!

Great coffee and toasties. Had an awesome almond capp here. Owner is super friendly. Will definitely be back 🤙🏽

The food was delicious. Priced well. Friendly staff.

Best toasties in London… possibly the world!

My favourite mushroom sandwich in NW!

Delicious Toasties, great coffe and service.

I like to try new places everytime I step out! The place looked breezy and pretty so I hopped while heading to Primrose Hill! They didn’t have the mint iced latte I was looking for thus went for the nutty one! It was hot, so really needed a yum latte! Maybe I expected a lot from the place. The latte tasted a little bland and salty for some reason as if the almond milk had gone bad! The serving is very small for 3.50£ and I also took a lemonade which I tht would be a freshly prepared thing but instead was a small store bought can which was over priced too and extremely sweet! The place is known for toasties, which unfortunately I didn’t try but the coffee was really sad! It was first iced latte of the season and certainly a bad start! Food is really important to me and after spending the amount I tht I should have just gone some place else. But you can never know about it unless you try so good learning for future!

Well worth a visit. We went Retro with our selection. Cakes looked good too. Lovely staff.

One of the best coffees I have had since I came to London. Still need to try the sandwiches and croissants, they look delicious. Cozy, small shop with super friendly staff and tasty fresh coffee that makes your day a hundred times better!

The best toast I've ever had! I went in London just a couple of days before the spread of the Covid-19 and I had breakfast there before going to Camden Town. The bread was very crispy, the fill inside incredibly tasty and these flavours are my best memories of all my long-weekend trip.

Delicious coffee and cheesy toasties, with other baked goods on offer as well. Friendly service. Recommended!

DELICIOUS toasty and super friendly staff :)

Very friendly people behind the till serving tasty and generously-sized grilled sandwiches

I love this place. The toasties are spectacular. Coffee is amazing. Larry the barista is such a gem. Highly recommend :)

Easily the best coffee in Chalk Farm. Hands down! The toasties are something special, too... Larry (the owner) runs a great operation and is incredibly friendly. His attention to detail and love of tasty cuisine shows in his food — I’m definitely now a regular!

Delicious Toasties, great coffee and super friendly service! What’s not to like?

Staff are really friendly, toasties and coffees are amazing - was in there last week but sad to see it is now closed temporarily! Hope they re-open!

Great toasties and coffee, would recommend for sure. The Reuben was particularly good. Happy to support a local shop too.

I'm not in London that often but when I am I seek this place out. As a committed and frequent coffee drinker, I'll happily say this place does the best coffee I've drunk in London if not the UK. The guy behind the counter knows his stuff.

Piccolo locale attaccato alla fermata della metro e bus Chalk Farm. Ha qualche posto a sedere, ci si può fermare lì o fare take away. I dolci sono squisiti, c’è un’offerta anche per i vegani! Offrono anche diversi tipi di succhi e centrifugati oppure i classici caffè e tea.

Small local business and that does a really good coffee. I quite enjoy their cappuccino and its right next to chalk farm station. They do muffins and other morning delights. Grab a tea or coffee for your journey!

It’s small and simple, but without a doubt my favourite cafe in London. Great food, great coffee, nice people behind the counter

Staff are super friendly and nice They do the best mushy banana bread ever & the latte is just superb

Lovely, local, little, and just good looking food. Does excellent toasties, cakes, coffee and tea, takes card, and is right next to the chalk farm tube station. A nice place to pause or grab and go. Takes card, as you'd expect

I really like what the guys at Roastery & Toastery are doing, I highly recommend trying the food here!

Very good coffees. Lots of milk alternatives available. Friendly staff

What a gem of a cafe; this bijou pink delight is only inches away from Chalk Farm underground. Coffee was perfect, orange plum cake was full of citrus flavour, nicely balanced consistency, just sweet enough. Returned next day for a truly artisan toastie- new recipe Green Princess featuring a divine melty portobello filling and a grazing of garlic infused oil. Reasonably priced too. Thank you!

My favorite coffee place in the area - not only coffee and toasts are supreme quality, the staff is so nice, friendly and human, it’s touching! And atmosphere inside is very cute - they have made a very good use of the tiny space and the wall if posters and post-its is an amazing touch!

Carrot cake was so nice! Coffee is very good quality. Very friendly staff and interesting feature wall!

Such a good cafe in Chalk Farm definitely get a toastie!

During out short stay in London this was our favorite place to have breakfast!! Nice people + great food!

Excellent sandwiches and great coffee! Best new thing to come to the area in a while

Small place with amazing toasts and great coffee! I have only been a couple of times (so far) but the stuff was on both occasions very friendly! If you are around make sure to pop in! Card payments only!

Best flat white within a couple km radius!!! If you’re going to Primrose Hill, get a coffee here first. This area has been in need of a place like this. Great toasties as well. Good luck guys, please stay - you are a staple.

This bijou+basic pitstop aside the station sticks to the territory their name advertises with little in the way of digression. I did not eat here. The flavoursome coffee surprised, punching above its weight and bound to stir it up in an area wilting on past laurels. Service is pleasant. They roast it, toast it and can boast it.

Wonderfull service - the person who served me was really kind and of good advise. Coffee was great, and I tried their chocolate fondant tartelette, which is to die for!

Lovely coffee and amazing toasties. Not sure if I'll be able to walk to the station without popping in from now on!

I would definitely go back for the cheese toasty. Really delcious. The classic was just right.

Nice staff a new place hope the coffee will be optimised soon.

Really good toasties, I had a French one and it was super good. Happy that area is getting more non chain local spots. Will be visiting.

This was my time trying a classic toasty, and this place left me with the best memory. A petite cafe with a personalized menu and quality ingredients. The staff are lively and friendly as well as the music. Definitely stop by this gem and take a breath from the shoulder rubbing rush of Camden town .

Finally! A decent flat white in an area that lacks a good coffee. Lovely staff and brilliant food. Long may this last.
