the front Room in Haringey

First time visit (for me) - went with my mate. What a delightful place! The food was delicious, the space was lovely and the service was utterly brilliant. We had a very leisurely brunch, were last to leave and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you!

Nice coffee, lovely atmosphere! Love the team, thank you for your hard work 🙏🏼

The folks that run this place are hands down the friendliest in London. Cute spot

I always feel welcome coming in here, The service is amazing. Best brunch in the area, in my opinion. The vibe is cute and chilled with lots of books to look at.

Super friendly and attentive staff, has a friendly neighbourhood cafe feel to it!

went with my friend, i got vegetarian breakfast and cappuccino, and friend got eggs royale and black americano. food and coffee was delicious, but it felt a little overpriced for not a particularly large portion. we also sadly took over half an hour to be served, despite asking the servers twice - but food quality was worth the wait and overall a very pleasant visit

Lovely cafe, with a very welcoming host! Great independent feel and somewhere I'd definitely come again. Food great quality, quick service and decent price for the amount you get. Go support this lovely place!

This is the cosiest, most wholesome neighbourhood cafe. I’ve been coming here since I moved in April 24 and it continues to be a staple of my week. It’s a great place to gather with friends, work remotely (they have wifi and good coffee), or just to have your broody moment reading a good book and watching passerbys. I love their full English and any of the paninis. Everything is well worth the price, and you can’t go wrong with any of the options!

La comida y el servicio eran increíbles, nos atendieron tan bien y el ambiente es muy amable. También dejé mi mochila atrás y ellos me la cuidaron hasta que pude volver y recogerla. Gritar a Rufus que nos sirvió🙂

Lovely neighbourhood local. Good menu and friendly service.

Lovely cafe, really good atmosphere!! A nice local cafe! Unexpected great find. Love all the quirky decorations! Especially the stuffed flamingo!!

Really good milkshake and great service

Lovely chap served us and seems to enjoy job ,a nice polite chap rare these days

Encontré este lugar cuando busqué algún lugar cerca de Finsbury Park para el desayuno. La familia y el personal claramente trabajan duro para que este lugar funcione. Amable y eficiente. Delicioso desayuno. Lo único que diría es que los precios no reflejan menús en el sitio web, pero aún así un valor razonable. ¡Gracias!

Popped in for lunch whilst working in the area. Excellent food, nice and fresh. Nice staff with a nice attitude. Give it a go! Good range of food for vegetarians too!

Really nice place, friendly and helpful staff.

Such an Amazing Place Lovely Staff, Enjoyed the atmosphere immensely!

Our first at The Front Room Cafe. We came in during afternoon hours for a quick coffee break. We enjoyed lovely flatwhites, the atmosphere, and most importantly, a pleasant service. This quick visit gave us a solid first impression, and we will definitely soon return for a meal.

Great choice, excellent full English and plenty for veggies. Imaginative specials and a lovely atmosphere. Really friendly and helpful staff.

I was really impressed by this cafe, chosen randomly on our way home. Excellent full English, a delicious special for lunch (very imaginative combo of avocado, halloumi, hummus in a wrap with salad and sweet potatoes fries) and a decent sized, reasonable priced pot of tea. And lovely staff too.

The coffee was delicious (and I’m quite picky with my coffee.) The service was amazing, I love that they served me a warmly toasted croissant too! Highly recommend! Will definitely be back for more! 😍😍😍

We came here for a breakfast and felt very much welcomed from the start. Service was very friendly and the food was really good.

Amazing coffee. Very nice people working there

Such a nice atmosphere and environment in a nice area, service was 10/10 and food was as amazing. Will be coming back!!

Great Sandwiches and very nice and polite staff

Lovely staff, but there was a very long wait for our food. The food was quite tasty.

My favourite local cafe, lovely menu and food and coffee is always such a good standard. Cosy atmosphere with lovely decor and the staff couldn’t be more friendly. If you’re in the area definitely stop by!

Lovely spot, friendly staff and cosy space. Great place for brunch

It's a cafe with a cafe vibe. I felt it was overpriced for what was served. Worth checking before going there so you aren't surprised.

Nice vibes, good variety of food for dietary requirements, friendly service and decent smoothies.

So many guitars! The owner is super friendly. Great smoothies and great food.

This place is such a beautiful quirky hidden gem of a cafe! The staff are also very welcoming and look forward to returning with my family! Beautiful place 😍

Very friendly staff and the food was amazing. Would recommend to anyone on holiday and in the area. (Especially for breakfast)

Great, cozy, eclectic atmosphere with great food!

The cafe is super relaxed and homely, the food hit the mark, just a no fuss (non greasy) breakfast… it really got the mark. The staff could not be friendlier and helpful if they tried lol Our hostess , who served us was Natalie Who just made us smile… perfect start to the day! Thank you

First time I've been for a few years as I moved abroad. As friendly as ever and nice food .

Great spot, strongly recommended by my mates who live on the road. Have to agree. Incredibly friendly community atmosphere which seemed to permeate through everyone’s experience. A solid veggie breakfast and felt comfortable working, reading, chatting, anything really.

Great, very friendly and nice atmosphere and location. Nice to sit outside with a coffee

Ambiente acogedor y una carta con gran variedad. Si no te manejas bien con el inglés hay uno de los trabajadores que habla español nativo.

Very friendly place and a nice breakfast. Lots of charm. Eclectic decor. Unpretentious.

If you like your coffee in a place with a sense of community and a heart, this is it. Spend enough time here and you'll notice you are becoming a part of a community.

Décevant, sec, service très long

Fantastic chill place, great hand-made food and lovely staff - a great place for a great brekkie.

Lovely people, lovely food definitely worth a visit thank you. Sorry about the ashtray😕

We visited here a bit by accident as several other local cafes were closed, but glad to have found it. I had The Tollington which was a really generous portion of Smoked Salmon, lovely fluffy eggs & Toast. Husband had the full breakfast which was all fresh & hot. Friendly service & cosy atmosphere

My partner and I, we were walking around and we decided to stop by for a coffee. It was amazing!! Really testing and really rich in flavour! Great staff and really good atmosphere!! Definitely we will back for a brunch. Congratulations!!

Great place for vegetarians and vegans. There are plenty of options for breakfast and lunch. It is not a place to study but is the perfect place to sit, enjoy a coffee with a pastry while you swipe your phone, read or talk to a friend. Very lovely and well attended. Thank you!!

A cosy place with a delicious typical English breakfast. Lovely staff

This cafe is so sweet! I used to meet a friend here a lot a few years ago. I went recently with a friend, and ordered the vegan sandwich. The service was lovely, and the guy who took our order was very sweet and helpful. However, the sandwiches were quite small for around £6, and not a super exciting filling. I know hummus and veg is normal for a vegan sandwich but I did think it'd be sizable at least. The atmosphere is lovely, and it's on a fab road. Just portion size was tight, so that let it down.

Best cooked breakfast in London.

Nice coffe and great costumer service. They have gluten free bread

Lovely place and very welcoming staff! Super recommend if you live close to Finsbury Park.

Such friendly service and wonderful food...bacon sandwich to die for (but don't, as you'll want another one) and..and...and Eggs Florentine also fab

Lovely local cafe with friendly staff. I love stopping by here

By far the best coffee in North London, thank you to front room cafe and their friendly staff

Nice and cosy. Went for hot drinks with a couple of friends from work 💕 Cappuccino was not very hot though 😕

We had a selection of coffees. Great coffee, great staff, great atmosphere. It was 1C outside and warm and comfortable inside. Really enjoyed my visit. A million times more rewarding than a chain coffee place.

Good food and friendly service. A little pricey, and it was so cold we might as well have been sitting outside.

I have been eating here for longer than I care to remember, fantastic staff great service and great food and to top it all I love the decor 😋

Staff are sooo lovely! Food was amazing and atmosphere relaxing and interesting. Well worth a visit

Great coffee, good food, lovely service. Just one star off for it being v noisy. But I am old - don't suppose the yoof mind.

Lovely cafe with great customer service. Was a pleasure to visit! God bless.

I’d liked to have said we visited in October but in fact we didn’t in the end. Having looked for somewhere great to meet for an early breakfast today the 29th of October, with one of us coming from Welwyn Garden City and the other one from Old Street i did my research, visited the website, loved the tone of everything they were doing and settled on The Front Room. We both came all that way….. met outside at 8.15, the business clearly not even vaguely ready to serve anyone, despite an advertised opening of 8.00, shutter half down and all the furniture stacked up inside. So disappointing and frustrating……

Highly recommend. Delicious fresh food, friendly and helpful people, love the decor.

Excellent food and coffee and very welcoming and warm service.

Was disappointed with the food. The service was lovely but the egg Royale at £12 was terrible. An extremely pale chunk of salmon on top of a muffin with a snotty egg and cheap McDonald's muffins. No dressing and actually gave my bf food poisoning.

Front room Cafe has been my favourite breakfast spot in London for many years. The all day full English is divine, the service is excellent, with friendly staff. On the weekends the cafe is buzzing/busy but still maintains a perfect setting for catching up with friends. But I am writing this review because Front room cafe has now climbed to my favourite breakfast spot of all time (climbing above the whistlestop cafe in Woodbridge)!! This is because of their new smoothie menu, which is next level! I cannot recommend highly enough, I must have been 20+ times and I look forward to another 20+ !

Lol legend. Food is always 11/10 staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. Highly reccomend the breakfast!

Great food service and atmosphere.

Fantastic community cafe with excellent coffee, cake and a lovely owner in Rob! Worth coming down for a bite or even just a friendly chat

Love the food, staff make you feel like a local. Great place.

Delicious breakfast, relaxed and friendly atmosphere and customer service and a proper pot of tea! Highly recommend 👍

all day breakfast - the tollington was great! service was very nice too

The Front Room is my local coffee spot and I am so grateful that it is! Really hearty breakfasts and excellent coffee. The staff are very friendly - always welcoming and super helpful! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Great food and service, and so peaceful for a morning tea.

A favourite of mine. Great food, service and comfy decor.

An excellent cafe, great vibe and delicious food. I had a salmon salad, large portions, poached eggs are a little cooked, I also had their yummy wedges. Slightly sad that the goats cheese salad has left the menu. Really good customer service! S

Greta experience as always! Thanks guys

Nice food good service nice People.

Really lovely local café with a good selection of breakfast and lunch dishes, always well made and friendly service.

Very tasty brunch and friendly atmosphere

Arrived at 8pm and it was shut. Opening times said open till 10pm.

Friendly staff, tasty food, will be back

Only stopped for a drink but nice friendly cafe, coffee hit the spot tnx

This is such a nice place. Lovely staff with community ties ♥️ I reccomend for food, coffee, staff and atmosphere

Highly recommend if your in the Frinsbury park area. The location is easy to find and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The staff is so friendly and fun. I went here for a catch up with a friend and had the breakfast with a Groovy green smoothie. The presentation was lovely and delicious. This is now one of my favourite places to go to if I'm nearby.

Friendly staff, great paninis and smoothies

Since I moved to the area in June 2021 this has to be the best cafe that I've been to so far and belive me I've tried quite a few in the area. It was quite busy when I arrived but if you do not mind waiting then it's worth the wait for the food that you order. I kept it simple with a simple ham and cheese toasted sandwich and a side order of sweet potato fries and oh boy it was worth the wait. The ham and cheese had plenty of flavour and included in the sandwich was a little bit of salad as well. As for the sweet potato fries, they were melt in your mouth moments with just the right amount of salt sprinkled on them and they came with a glass pot of tasty mayo to dip the fries into and all washed down with a lovely cup of coffee. The cafe had a lovely vibe about it and you could tell that they also had a fair share of I'm guessing local returning customers who were on 1st name terms with the staff. I went there around lunchtime and was given a lunch menu of which included all kinds of savoury treats but I'm led to believe that they also have a breakfast menu as well if which includes different kinds of a full English and also a veggie full English. In general a great little find that will definitely be on my to return to list.

Really friendly staff and nice laid back, cosy atmosphere. Food is also tasty. Would recommend.

I like to try out breakfasts in the local area and today we tried the front room cafe. Plus points, the staff were friendly and the cafe was spacious. Nice veggie breakfast and poached eggs with toast. The cafe wasnt busy so we had space to ourselves. However no staff had masks on and this made me uncomfortable. There was alot of banter between staff and some regulars and I found them too loud which made the place feel less cosy.

Had a lovely lunch here, friendly staff and nice atmosphere

I am not sure if I love the staff or the food more...ps. pancakes and salmon salad- best in London!

Ordered acocado toast with an egg which was very tasty (though the toast was a little burnt) and a tropical smoothie which I have been yearning for ever since! My girlfriend and I were walk-ins around 11.30am. All seats were taken outside but we were one of two pairs inside. It became a lot busier after we were served. Our waiter was very sweet and well-mannered! He was so kind giving us time to order. We also had a female checking up on us. Our only complaint was that they forgot to bring us tap water so we had to ask again, but the food and drink and the staff more than made up for it! Thank you, Front Room!

A sweet, cheerful cafe with outdoor seating. Nice home-style food. Perhaps we went at the wrong time (2pm on a weekday) but the understaffing was apparent with all available outdoor tables covered in dishes. We waited about 25 mins at a dirty table, and were left a bit nervous about covid cleanliness. But the wait was worth getting such a perfect Eggs Benedict, and delicious cheeseburger. I overheard someone saying they thought there would be other things in their salad (customer misread the description), and the chef patiently explained then remade it just how they wanted. I thought that was pretty nice of him!

Very quaint cafe great street atmosphere. Super coffee.

Good coffee, but not sure why the staff have to shout at each other when they are talking. It really damages what could be a lovely cafe experience and doesn’t make me want to return.

Always amazing, the best staff who put in so much effort, produce the best food and make you feel so welcome - they all deserve a raise!

Nothing special! And prices are a little more than I'd like for what it is but nice space to work

It was one of the first places we went to after the lockdown and we loved it. Perfect place to grab a sandwich and coffee before heading to Crouch End or Alexandra Palace.

Been here previously on a number of occasions and food and service were always good. Sadly it seems standards have gone downhill since. We had to ask for menus twice after being seated. The waitress forgot what we’d ordered (4 items) and came back twice to check. Food was average, my bacon on the full English was clearly dry and reheated and the bread wasn’t the sourdough that was advertised. We would’ve liked to get some brown sauce or ketchup but weren’t offered any and nobody could be flagged down when they came outside, as they’d just bring stuff out and leave rather than scanning to see if anyone needed anything else. We shared this feedback at our visit as well and hope that service can improve. The waitress was going to discuss with someone and come back but instead another waiter returned and nothing had been amended on the bill and also no apologies were offered. We won’t be back, sadly.
