Really awesome atmosphere with fluffy warm croissants and other premium pastry. Why have you got terrible staff? These guys will lose you customers very quickly. I ordered a flat white coffee, and I was given a coffee that tasted like microwaved milk with a shot of espresso and he put chocolate on top. Clearly this guy isn't a trained barista. Also, if I eat in, you normally serve coffee in a proper cup and not a paper cup. There were a few other customers who came in and tried to buy stuff but your employees were not there for over 10 mins and so they left. Employ well trained baristas who also are excellent at being hospitable and Temptations will rock.

Nowhere in this area really contends with these folk on quality for the price. In a time of harrowing inflation, you can get a really filling, healthy, and delicious lunch for the right price. I find it really hard to consider going anywhere else when I'm looking for food mid-day. They will give you less food for double the price everywhere neighbouring this cafe.

I would like to convey my genuine gratitude for the eating experience I had at The Temptations Cafe, and applaud the establishment for its great attributes. Based on my repeated visits to your institution, I can certainly affirm that the culinary offerings have continuously exhibited great quality. The Temptations Cafe is generally recognised as a highly esteemed place for customers in search of delicious and cosy home-style cooking. The service and food provided were of great quality, and the ambience of the location was quite pleasurable. The cost was considered fair, especially when considering the great quality of the meal. The whole excellence of the ambience, coffee, and furnishings is of remarkable quality. The location exhibits a serene and comfortable atmosphere, rendering it very suitable for engaging in scholarly endeavours as well as fostering social interactions with peers. Those in search of a unique vacation spot distinguished by its exceptional interior design should not disregard this prospect. Thank you for establishing such an exceptional sanctuary in the heart of Highbury and Islington. I extend my best wishes for your further success in your endeavours. May you be blessed abundantly.

I can not complain about the food here it’s decent, a little expensive but good quality however the customer service here was awful. I have been a few times and I have kids which for some reason they can not seem to have any patience for. I am always given dirty looks by the staff for the kids moving around, touching things or standing by the door or told very abruptly and Rudely by the staff to immediately stop them which obviously as the parent I would always try to do as understandably things may irritate people or cause inconvenience for them but sometimes kids will be kids and it’s hard to control their every move. There are better ways to approach people and a smile would not kill.

The above average rating for this cafe lured me in but there were several red flags that I noticed. The beans used were "own brand", no latte art, and the guy absentmindedly steamed the milk while looking around. The first sip of the coffee burned my tongue, I shouldn't have been surprised, and the beans tasted horrible even after it cooled down. Can't speak for the food but it didn't look appealing anyway. Just avoid.

This happened yesterday. I was waiting for my coffee and a plain croissant and when the young barista turned to the coffee machine to prepare it she asked another lady who was there to "please pass me the plain croissant"; the lady was wrongly giving me the chocolate croissant and blamed the other girl for her mistake. She literally said to her "you always do this and then blame me". I was shooked. I heard the entire conversation and couldn't believe my ears. I guess it takes a lot of confidence to be able to admit their mistakes and that lady was very irrespective towards the young girl who gave me a perfect service. I hope the manager sees this. That young barista has an amazing costumer service and a bright smile that made my day. I forgot to ask her name, but there were only two ladies working on the shop floor and the oldest didn't seem nice at all while the other, a young polite foreign girl was very competent.

The coffee is good, the food acceptable and almost all fresh, but still what is unacceptable for me is the attitude of the two managers, probably brother and sister, towards the young ladies working on the shop floor. They have been called "fat" in front of me and another couple at the tills, lazy and slow. The lady owner called one of them chicken more than once. This is unacceptable, but I get that everybody needs a job.

Popped in here with my brother for a coffee with no expectations, the coffee was very good, but was blown away by the service from who I presume is the proprietor of the place. He was extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, even offering a complementary plate of delicious pastries (after first checking if we had any allergies). It’s service like this that is woefully lacking from the soulless coffee corporations that are taking over our high streets, and so I urge everyone to visit this unique and wonderful cafe and keep local independent businesses alive!

I am so angry with how I was spoken to the manager of this cafe. He was quite rude towards me and clearly does not value my custom. This This morning I brought a slice of red velvet cake the lady that was serving me had served other customers before and proceeded to use her hands to manoeuvre the cake into a plastic food bag. I asked her politely if she could put on gloves before giving me the cake and asked for another slice instead. She still tried to serve me the same piece of cake. I told her politely that I did not want the cake that she touched with her bare hands and could she put on gloves. The manager came in from outside the street and proceeded to serve customers. Did not wash his hands!! He became very rude towards me and said that staff wash their hands but cannot wash them after every customer as that could cost him money as it would take up time and he would lose business. Told me that he was the CEO of the company. I really dont know why he thought it was relevant for me to know this. At this point there were customers queuing up waiting to be served and taking note of his outburst. I remained calm but felt embarrassed. As I had already paid for my items all I wanted to do was get my cake and get out of there. What they both did next was to ignore me and serve other customers. I told the manager that I am still waiting for my cake. After he had finished serving a customer then he served me. I reiterated calmly to him before I left that she had touched my cake and the inside of the cake bag with her bare hands then he said I will talk to her. I am shocked that basic food handling procedures were ignored and that both staff were very ignorant about me challenging how my food should be served. Even more so with the coronovius outbreak I would expect stringent hygiene procedures would be paramount. However, if business is more important than customers then I will take my business elsewhere. My black pound will be spent elsewhere.

Was disappointed that there were no ingredients on any of the packaging, the staff didn’t know whetherr tuna may and cucumber baguette had dairy in it, eventually found out that it didn’t! Bought it then found it was full of red onion which I don’t care for! For us with genuine allergies, a simple sticker on the food would be a great help! And if that’s not possible then your staff should be well versed on all the ingredients in all the products!! Won’t return!

I really like the coffee and matcha latte. The interior design is nice as well. But unfortunately the music is too loud, it’s hard to relax there or have a proper conversation. I organise socials after my dance classes and I used to come every Saturday with a group of girls (4-6 of us). Last time I asked the barista to turn down the music a little bit and she refused. We were the only visitors there at that time. The barista said something about the cafe policy and that in other cafes the music is even louder. I didn’t get it at all. Unfortunately I have to choose another much quieter cafe to go with my group. It’s impossible to speak without shouting there. Quite annoying.

Lovely little place, only thing is there is a no laptops rule throughout the entire day. The blonde lady who explained this to me was quite rude, as if me asking if I could do a bit of work in their cafe was preposterous. And they had the audacity to charge me service charge on buying a pastry, which made my pistachio bun £5.06. I was in there for about 45 mins with a friend.

The service was outstanding, from arrival until the time we left. All the staff were so helpful and attentive and accommodating to our needs. The food was delicious too. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We will certainly be back and we would highly recommend anyone in the area to visit and feel at home.

Great matcha. The oolong and ginger tea was amazing. Strawberry shortcake was out of this world. Worth going just for that. Mango shortcake was amazing.

Three Course has changed food and concept without amending the website. Now it's a short menu of burgers and ribs instead of simple, fresh Scandinavian style. Cooking was atrocious even for the new simplified food. A veal chop cooked to leather. Soft shell burger squidgy and unpleasant. No sides or veg or salads. The "chef" simply can't cook. You have the feeling they are running this place by the seat of their pants - economically that is. David, the very nice and embarrassed manager, told us the owner had gone to work in another restaurant. Other customers have complained that it isn't what they expected. On the plus side, the interior decor is quirky and appealing and the wine list has some delicious, well-priced labels but, on the basis of our experience, it's unlikely to stay open much longer.
