Sable D'or Crouch End in Haringey

the Crouch End one is teewwwww good. Delicious coffee, stunning salads and pastries. Love and Thea are the sweetest + they always remember me!!! It’s like a home away from home <3 RECOMMEND the pastel de nata

Best vegan breakfast in Crouch End!

Amazing cafe one of my favourites. Went today with my husband , son and daughter for mothers day and had the most lovely brunch. We had 2 x vegan cooked breakfast 1 x vegetarian and 1x shakshuka . All incredibly tasty good portion sizes . Friendly, efficient staff. I usually opt for their amazing salads- have even asked if they could share their green bean recipe as its so tasty. Cannot recommend cafe highly enough .

Lovely food , relaxing atmosphere, and friendly staff,

Dry, stale ‘aunt Bessie’s’ tasting, overpriced brownie. I had to throw it away.

Was in with 3 friends. We ordered 3 espresso. That wasn't coffe at all. And please wash your cup.

We arrived on Saturday lunch time, to be seated at the rear. Unfortunately the welcome included many tables not cleared and a shortage of waiting staff. Finally we realised that we should order at the till. Our food arrived 15-20 mins later. Nicely presented small portions of eggs Benedict and pots of tea. We used to brunch at this lovely cafe fairly regularly but we haven’t been to Crouch End for a while. I like the interior with the hanging plants and relaxed vibe but sadly standards have slipped - our table was sticky, and table clearing included leaving food on the floor.

Really filthy spot. Coffee mugs stained with all sorts of mysterious marks, waitresses eating with their hands then continuing to touch customer’s food. Very unhygienic.

amazing best food in the world😉

Been there few times. The food is nice, the staffs are friendly and welcoming, definitely recommend!

Lovely friendly cafe. Good food. Nice staff. Great atmosphere.

Nice atmosphere and service at this cafe, but food and drinks are not so good. I Came here a few times for the lovely seating and interior but other than that it doesn't have much to offer. A bit too overpriced for what it is.

The manager Thea stank! And was so rude to her employees and customers! Horrible experience, don’t go!

The whole place reeks of urine, the food is boring and bland at best, and they clearly aren’t paying their workers enough because our waiter was so unbelievably rude

Lovely cafe with an excellent choice of veggies and vegan dishes. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend

The selection of food is good but each time I go there, the service is either awfully slow, the drinks arrive in dirty cups or I find the staff making faces behind customers. The toilets are dirty. Overall disappointing, I don't know why I bothered giving it so many chances. Seem like both Sable d'Or in courch end and muswell run on low standards.

Great quiche and salads. Other items look great but yet to try! Friendly staff. Decent coffee.

I use to go there regularly the food was ok however they allow dogs when the owner said they don’t but when the owner is not there the staff allow dogs one time I was there with my fiancé spending up to £30 I saw this man with a cup of coffee and a bulldog on the floor under the table and the dog just happened to wee on the floor I have not gone there since i will never go back from a regular customer who spends money now they don’t have a customer in me not even a take away of any type

A lovely place to eat in or take away, the staff where very friendly and nice. Definitely recommend!!

We stopped off here for a late lunch and to use the WiFi. It was recommended by my daughter and her friend, who often eat here. Of course, being late meant quite a few dishes were no longer available, so I reluctantly ordered items I usually don’t like—Quiche with broccoli and Greek salad and small roasted potato salad. My wife wasn’t hungry; she just wanted a drink and the wifi password. The food came promptly, and my wife had finished the Zoom call she had to make. My wife eyed up my plate, and even before I could slice the quiche, she had picked up another knife and taken a portion. Then she asked the waiter for another plate, and she stole half my food. I wasn’t bothered since I saw it as just food to keep going until we could get home. Maybe my expectations were low, but the taste of the quiche blew me away, as did the salads. Maybe I’ve had too many cold boring supermarket quiches, and I don’t know what a real quiche is supposed to taste like, but this food was excellent. I would come here again, and definitely not share my lunch with my wife, she can order her own.

No prices and no food descriptions displayed so people can't choose food products based on ALLERGIES, which I have, or even according to their purses. Poor level of English from staff meant it was difficult to communicate both ways or ask any questions about ingredients. Stated they have regulars who know the prices, so as a new customer you're left feeling reluctant to ask, as staff a bit snippy. Presuming it was the owner who got offended when I fed back that the croissants were dry (I was afraid to ask for anything else) She started shouting at me stating they were made fresh every day, (which doesn't explain the dryness but heyho). Ran me out of the shop. Banned as a result of honest feedback.

Lovely atmosphere with the glass roof and decor. However, their pastries used to be much better before. The blueberry muffin was heavy and not fluffy as it should, tartes not so good. We had coffees too, not great either. The waitress was cleaning and did not washed her hands or put gloves on before serving our food. Everything should be on point so it can match with the price we pay for.

We were there a week ago for breakfast The place was really nice and the staff was very friendly The food was amazing 😋

The place itself is very nice inside, the staff was also friendly, however I can’t say I’d visit again. We were told to sit down wherever we would like to. There was no menu on the table and after waiting quite a long time for someone to come, I realised on a board it was written to go to the front to order. So it did not make any sense why they would not tell us this in the first place and you have 2-3 people working there with sitting area, but not taking the order at the table, so you sit down to go back to order!? Then I didn’t get my food I ordered 2x, which is not a big deal, happens… but both times my food was brought back on the same plate, the food I didn’t order was just scraped off… usually if this happens, normal places would give you a new portion/ plate. Also the first time I’ve ever had Greek salad with coriander… it’s overpriced compared to what you get.

Love this place. Been multiple times and food is always tasty, fresh and the service is always excellent with a friendly smile. Their baked goods are so good; treat after a hard day at work or a thank you to mother-in-law for babysitting

Beautiful flower display on the ceiling, tasty food

Was exploring Crouch End and came across this lovely place. The member of staff who served me was very friendly and attentive. I got a mocha, lemon cake + apple crumble, didn't get a chance to eat the lemon cake because I was full from the crumble so took that away. I sat in to eat and did some work, really enjoyed my time here :)

Food and cakes are delicious here. I weekly treat myself with lunch and dessert from the Crouch End branch. Staff is lovely and they usually warm up food for take out. I am just a bit disappointed for the recent price increase and unfortunately I will not able to go as often as before.

We have visited Sable d’Or many times and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the last visit was disappointing. There was no table service, we had to order from the till. The staff forgot to bring our food. The food itself was ok but nothing special. It felt chaotic. I suspect they are understaffed and struggling to maintain service levels and quality.

I really like the food in this place and there’s nowhere else in CE doing decent salads, but two things put me off: (a) the prices and (b) the last time I was in there the guy let me sit at a table for 25mins before telling me it wasn’t table service that day. So sadly I haven’t been back.

Only came in for cakes to take away. Probably the nastiest brownie husband and I have ever eaten (thew away 75% of it) The pecan cake/tart just tasted of sugar, couldn't finish that one either. Both cakes were ridiculously sweet, and this comes from someone with a severe sweet tooth. May visit again for savoury food but stay away from the cakes.

Just went in to buy some food just now. I was completely ignored and waited for over 5 minutes and no one bothered to serve me. Had to leave the shop. Poor customer service. Thank You Mohammed for replying- I went in on the 3rd of February Friday around 5pm at the Crouch End branch.

Amazing coffees, tasty food and lovely atmosphere The beans salad must try!

As it's on the Broadway I knew it would be quite expensive, but for what this place is offering, their prices are excessive. On my first visit, I had croissants and coffee, it was okay, not exceptional. The second time I had plain frangipane cake and coffee. The cake was dry as though it had been out for too long and the coffee tepid. I asked if it could be reheated or if they give me another that was hot. The girl agreed but took over 10 minutes to do it, and they weren't busy. Even so, I've worked in the hospitality industry and have experienced customers who blame the waiting staff for things they have no control over, so that's not really my issue. But any establishment charging over a fiver for a small slice of cake or a single tart needs to make sure it's a lot better than okay. On the more positive side, the staff were courteous and helpful, though I doubt the amount they are paid reflects the prices the employer charges.

Lovely food, helpful staff, a little pricey.

Cozy little bar restaurant. Has seating inside. Delicious options to eat in or take away. Lots of nice salads and vegetables. Coffee is allright. Nice bread and pastries. Staff was helpful, allthough not all too motivated compared to other place around the area.

Over priced, bad customer service, rude staff!! After a dog walk my husband and I decided to grab a bite to eat! Not only took forever to get served also for the wrong coffee when I questioned was not greeted with a friendly apology! Will not return nor recommend it!

Not a great experience, especially when considering how much they feel their experience is worth (pricing). We arrived and asked if dogs were welcome and were advised they were we then ordered two sausage rolls, a cappuccino and a mocha £20. Our sausage rolls arrived very quickly and the coffees ….just never arrived; I have never had this experience before - food arriving before drinks! After waiting patiently and finishing the rolls, the server arrived with coffees for someone who had literally sat down a few mins before, but she looked over to us, so we thought she had recognised the oversight….waited…she had not. In the end I went up and addressed the server explaining politely that the drinks never arrived. She said nothing and just pointed at a girl at the coffee station. There were two drinks there and I asked if this was our cappuccino and mocha she said yes. I offered to take them over to our table as I was going that way anyhow (trying to have a laugh with her) and she then became rude “I will bring it over in a minute (we had already waited 15mins!) . When it eventually arrived, my wife pointed out that she had ordered a cappuccino and not a latte ; the girl tutted and took the latte away and returned almost immediately with the same latte that she had taken away she had sprinkled a bit of chocolate over the top of it and then blatantly lied saying she had picked up the wrong one. We were quite surprised by the general attitude we received here ( was Boxing Day too! Merry Christmas!) to be fair it was the barista who destroyed the experience. Being that they charge as if they are a cut above the other cafes around here, I would suggest a review of staff and rectify any grudges they have or whether perhaps they are no longer enjoying their work. Also an apology for the delays and mistakes; and a genuine rectification would have been the reasonable reaction, costs nothing but would have saved them a poor review and maybe even landed them with a more positive one. I won’t be back….although we did have a good laugh about it on our way home; so thanks for that :)

Great pastries and a nice spot for a decent coffee in Crouch End

Went here for the first time today we were not impressed. Told the salad is priced according to weight, not sure why charged in this way. Over priced even for Crouch End. Definitely not value for money. Doubt will return.

The shop is really well located at the village center of Crouch end. They offer I wide range pastry and sandwiches. It’s full of well decorated little cakes, which taste delicious. The interior itself is clean and well kept. Prices are average and u can choose from a big selection of drinks and smoothies to come along with your food.

Lovely atmosphere. Amazing coffee and Patisserie selection

I went for breakfast with my family and we had an awesome time. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast and salads where amazing and very fresh! The atmosphere was very warm too.

Very nice place and atmosphere, food was delicious and staff was very friendly, went there for breakfast and had an enjoyable time!

Incredible cakes and croissants. Delicious salads. Quality coffee. I’ve been many times and always enjoy my experience. Crouch End staple.

Stopped in here for brunch and really enjoyed the food and the rustic aesthetic. Some really interesting combinations as well as some classics. Food was delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. You do have to order at the till but this does give you a chance to browse the options.

We come here for breakfast and the 3 Veg Salad but the last few visits we’ve noticed a decline in quality of food. Service is not great, takes them a while to take our order definitely not going back!

Favourite place for pastries in crouch end - always delicious and nice service :-)

The restaurant is amazing! The service is fast, they have delicious fresh juice and the food is tasty AND beautiful!!

The most amazing food and service....and the new management make you feel special..... great place

After long time we went yesterday to revisit crouch end brunch, and we did good The place looked very different, the decor with the plants looks very attractive and the food really tasty 😋 We had breakfast and coffees were very enjoyable and the broccoli salad delicious.

I am not sure why people say it's expensive. It is in relation to their own home-cooked at home breakfast? Or the nearby Gregg's? Sourdough Sophia's more costly, and it's predominately a take-away. We are in London. Everything is expensive. I think price-wise, this place is no more costly than any other brunch/lunch joint in the area. They have an excellent array of options - sandwiches/brunch/salads & veg dishes, but their forte is their pastries/cakes. Here you will find some of the best brioches/pastries in Crouch-End. Way better than Gail's and way cheaper for the quality you get. They could do a bit more for the decor, as it feels a bit scrappy and not very cosy - hence I would not give it a full five stars, but it's worth 4.5/5

Nice food but the WiFi is completely unreliable and often doesn’t work. Nor does 4G. So don’t come here if you need to use your phone or laptop.

We walked here from Alexander Palace,having visited the food market.We wanted to go to Cafe Bean but there was a massive queue! This cafe is just as good,had the vegan breakfast,very nice. only downside,they do dont have chai latte!

Overpriced and bad service.They mention on the menu that the quisce or sandwich comes with a side salad, but actually the salad is very small. The waitress was not very welcoming. The price does not reflect the quality of the product.

Super expensive. A vegan sausage roll for £5.50?!! It was nice but also the place wasn't very clean and now is lacking the charm without all the plants they used to have (dead now on the side walls).... not sure what happened to this place, new management maybe? I haven't been in months so not sure when that was.

Place looked nice on the outside, walked in without looking at reviews. We ordered: - Mozzarella sandwhich; was really tasty, was surprised how light and crunchy the bread was. - Cinnamon role; so soft and tasty one of the best ones we've had - Apple crumble; loved how the crumble melted in my mouth! It was the right amount of firm vs crumbly and was a little moist. Would order again - Spinach feta crumble; texture was good but lacked a little taste We were served by Kaleb, felt super comfortable with him! He was friendly and patient with our orders! Thanks Kaleb. (Apologies if I spelt your name wrong) It was a little pricey but not so different from many other cafes. Would definitely come again.

It was 5pm on new year's eve. Our daughter, about to turn 18, was due to host a dinner party for 25 of our friends that night. We had just discovered that the cafe due to cater the event had let us down. Her guests were due to turn up in two hours, and we had no food. As panic set in, we phoned around. Most places were shut, and those that were open had nothing left, or were unable to cope with such a big order in such a tight timescale. And then we found Sable D'Or Crouch End (via the Muswell Hill branch). They could not have been more helpful. They had some delicious salads left, and although the kitchen was in the process of closing for the night, they reopened and knocked together some more dishes for the event. The food was delicious, the guests were all really well fed and we and our daughter are incredibly grateful. The guys did all this with smiles on their faces at the end of a long day when they must have been looking forward to closing up and going home. This was truly outstanding customer service - thank you!

Very overpriced food and fairly bland service. We enjoyed the food, it was nice but lacked much punch. My biggest gripe is how expensive it was - we had a tuna melt, cauliflower salad, and beef chilli pasty and two black coffees for £23!! That seems rather extortionate for what was light cafe/deli lunch. The service was was fine; food came on time, order was correct etc but the staff seemed rather despondent. The place just lacked a bit of soul. One last thing was that it was extremely hot, but this is an easy fix so not such a big issue. I can only assume that the high prices account for the high heating bills.

Cosy gorgeous interior, amazing choice of the yummiest home baked pastries and great brekkie options. Really really recommend! X

Watch out for the weighted salad, large came to near £17!!!! Outrageous pricing. Sandwich was fair and tasty though.

It's not a matter of food because is good but we went there 20 minutes ago and nobody take care of us, we have asked for tables and they send us inside but I Insist nobody delivered menu or asked if we needed something. It was a pity!!! We were with all my family. Finally we decided go to another local business.

I had lunch with a friend in this little bakery cum restaurant. The furnishings are simple and functional which gives it a canteenlike feel, but sitting under the huge conservatory glass roof gives it a cheerful ambiance, especially on a sunny day. You order and pay at the counter, and the food is brought to you by a waitress. There were several prepared dishes, and and a nice choice of salads. As a main course you could have two or three salads. I opted for Greek salad, green bean salad, and stuffed aubergine salad, GBP10 or 11 for a generous plate. They were nicely prepared and tasted very fresh. They have some wonderful healthy juice concoctions, my 'spicy Jack' was pear and apple juice with a good kick from fresh ginger. A very good healthy lunch for GBP15.00.

My sister and I visited this lovely patisserie for lunch today, unplanned. We were warmly welcomed. We had the roasted onion quiche, Greek salad, green bean salad and roast new potato salad. Totally recommend them all. Service was prompt. Lovely atmosphere. On leaving all the staff thanked us for visiting. On exciting we treated ourselves to two cakes. They all look so lovely could have had them all. We will certainly return again.

Stood waiting on que 1 person back for 15 minutes as they served from lunch counter. With customer asking every question under the sun. Then gave priority to customer in the café who preceded to take the last two sandwiches of the type I was going to order. Second time they have only one person working the counter long que and no help. Wouldn't bother as I won't again.

Lovely place! Food and cakes were great. Lady making the coffees was so fast and kind too after I made a mistake with my order. Guy behind the counter was also very good. Maybe a little pricey, yes. So if I could knock of 1/2 star for that I would.

Food and service are good, but a bit on the pricy side, but it is London

I remember going to Sable d'Or In the mid 2007 onwards, absolutely loved the café! Loved every single thing about it. Always used to go in there for a cake etc. I would love to go there again! :-D

Stale almond croissant...clearly baked a few days before. Will not return - there is better offering in Crouch End like Gail

Ordered an almond croissant to go. It was terrible, dry, brittle and over baked. Nothing what so ever to do with the moist, flavour packed and juicy almond croissants in France. Save your money and don't buy one

Excellent food, but extremely high prices (even by Crouch End standards). Felt sorry for the girl on the till this afternoon. She seemed completely miserable and unhappy to be there. She was short with at least three customers (myself included). I know it’s tough times and we’re all stressed out. I hope she’s okay.

Our favourite bakery in Crouch End (and beyond)! Especially the pastries and crumbles are top notch. Visiting Sable d'Or has become our weekend treat.

The displays are visually stunning and it's difficult to choose what to buy. Excellent quality and delicious.

Always have lovely friendly service here and all bakery food is delicious!

The pastry are great. The also serve real fruit smoothies.

Excellent cheesecakes and a great variety of sweet and salty options!

Strong coffee, good food, excellent service

Coffee tastes sour but the menu is good and the style is relaxed and easy

It took a while for the servers to notice us, and even then they were more concerned about sitting more people down rather than serving those that were already here. Food was nice, although I ordered an Aubergine sandwich which had some intense feta cheese ... Wouldn't recommend it unless you like your feta strong ... This place is ok but as a last resort. The cakes are great in the summer but they need to think about covering it up because the flies will always be about.

Sable d'Or has sometimes had excellent reviews, but today at breakfast there was a sullen and slow waitress, some of the menu items seem to have been removed and my pair of poached eggs arrived with a single small piece of toast - how much would a second one have depleted their profit? Crouch End is a competitive market!

Slightly expensive, but very good place. The staff is very friendly, and the food looks amazing. The place is relaxing and very well decorated, definitely in line with the trandy Crouch End. I wouldn't come here for a quick bite, but this place is amazing for having a nice talk with a friend or partner. Must.

Lovely oasis looks smaller than it really is go get some salads, butternut squash and chickpeas and aubergine baked with peppers

The most divine pastries. Delicious but evil fir the waistline

First time visiting staff was lovely and food was amazing

Very, VERY expensive. Bread tasted stale. Will not go there again. Staff were also very surly.

Best French toast ever! My favourite place for breakfast.

Really sweet staff but honestly £8 for a salmon & cream cheese bagel & £10.50 for a plate of salad is just outrageous. Don’t often go & won’t be rushing back unfortunately.

Service is not great, feels like they serve you because they dont have a choice. Also food is very average and went I went there were a lot of fruit flies around kitchen and tables which doesnt fill you with confidence regarding hygene

Guys, shocking service today. Slow, even though not very busy, no greeting, food order placed without a word, no salt and pepper offered, presentation not usual standard. A lady near me waited nearly 10 minutes for a coffee which was then plonked on table without a word. This is poor customer relations, looks like no one in charge? Pity because I always enjoyed food.

Went in to buy a simple croissant and baguette and honestly couldn't have had a worse experience. The staff were rude, both the products I wanted to buy were stale to the point that they were inedible and extremely overpriced. Very disappointed by it all.

Pros: excellent decor; good customer service; comfortable seating; the chicken and beef are halal (as I was told); good vegetarian options. Cons: the food wasn't great - the beef patty had a bitter burnt taste to it; the prices were unexpectedly high.

I dropped in on a whim for a breakfast. Staff are nice and food was good. Got a pot of tea and veggie brioche for a tenner, which is standard price for the area. Not too busy and not too empty. Highly recommend.

I really want to like this place because it’s such a nice space, and the staff are friendly if a little scattered/ young. But the last few times I’ve been there for breakfast it really disappointed. Either over cooked or undercooked eggs, and the ‘toast’ was griddled bread, still mostly raw and chewy. It’s toast, people! When I’m spending over 8 quid for scrambled eggs on toast it should be perfect. The kitchen needs to sort themselves out. It’s great trying to be above average, but there’s no point fancying things up if you can’t master the basics.

Lovely place, friendly staff. I just called in for a coffee and something sweet. I had the poppy seed sponge with lemon icing. It was very tasty and not too sweet, just what I wanted.

Lovely food served here. The Sunday early morning waitresses are particularly good. They pay attention to customers and are very friendly. One even remembers our orders each week! The food is on the pricey side but average price for the area. Clean and tasty. Definitely one to try

Nice coffee and cakes. Panini very tasty. Lovely and cozy decor. Slightly expensive.

Lovely staff, cute little spot. Prices a bit expensive but definitely worth every penny.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating with me having a disability. I would recommend this place and I give it 5 stars. Thank you again to the staff for making me feel welcomed.😀

Lovely little place in Crouch End. I visited on the tail end of the lunchtime rush so there was plenty of seats and it was very peaceful in there! I had the Tuscan sandwich and the cleanser juice - both were absolutely delicious!

The food is nice ... the service could use a boost!
