The Haberdashery in Haringey

A massive shout out to Haberdashery!!! Absolutely delicious food, fantastic customer service and the coffee to die for 🤤 I am a fussy eater but the brunch at Haberdashery did not disappoint 🙌🏽 definitely will be back and highly recommended! The only place in Crouch End where food is of the high quality and prices are very reasonable 👌🏾

Lovely place. Just opened. Food was great, service excellent and very good value. A nice addition to the neighbourhood. Definitely worth a visit.

I went into the haberdashery today with my wife and had a lovely experience. It has recently been taken over by a Kurdish family and they were incredibly friendly and the eggs Benedict we had was one of the best I have had in the local area. They are in the process of re furbishing and I was offering my services if they need any help taking anything away as I hate to see things thrown away! They were really warm family and although they have only been open a few days (after taking over from the old owners) they really were very nice people. They even gave me a Victorian mug at the end for my daughter to use as a plant pot and I will be returning soon with more friends. Thanks guys and do let me know if you need me to help collect the hooks soon - you have my number. Best wishes to you and the new restaurant and I hope the community supports you! Tom

Delicious food, sublime presentation, friendly staff. Definitely coming back again!

I had lunch here with my partner and I have to say it exceeded all expectations. The service is friendly. The prices are low. The portions are very generous and the quality of the food, superb, delicious and imaginative. I urge you to try the Shakshuka which was gloriously aromatic. Great stuff. A friendly, affordable family run gem

Best coffee, food, chill and work place!

Went for a walk through Crouch End and the owner stopped us and offered us a free coffee for International Women’s Day! Just reopened after renovation, super cute vibe and great coffee! Food looked great as well. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing food, nicely seasoned and a great welcoming service too. well recommended

This is a great family owned cafe/restaurant. I've been here three times in the last two weeks alone and with family members. There's a great variety of 'brunchy' food on the menu nnicely cooked and tasty. The place was busy on each occasion and the atmosphere buzzing and cheerful with happy eaters. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We were served by Rory who couldn't have been more attentive and concerned that we e A great advantage is that the cafe is conveniently near a bus stop and almost next door to The ArtHouse and The Picture house. It's definitely a place to factor in and combine with either seeing a film or just shopping in Crouch End. I'm delighted to have discovered Brekky and Brunch and I look forward to many more visits.

Lovely place, nice food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Was impressed by the level of service provided. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient, and the coffee was deliciously fresh.I ordered a flat white and it was made to perfection. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone who is looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and a breakfast . I am looking forward to visiting again soon!

The haberdashery is the most beautiful place in the Crouch End, they have a wonderful ambient. Also their food menu should be candidate for a m. Star…

Food is so tasty, and they have a wide range of different food, from fresh ginger turmeric tea to cocktail, from soughdough sandwichs to carrot cakes, not to mention their range of different green and black tea. The Turkish family who runs this little cafe are so friendly, and decoration is very cosy also. Would definately come back again.

My second visit here. Food is always great. The staff are so friendly and nice. Very kid friendly as well. The all day breakfast is really special. My kids have also enjoyed the pancakes and the french toasts. The Monmouth coffee and the flavoured teas are exquisite. Great cafe!

We had a lovely breakfast here. It was 3 adults and three children and we all enjoyed it. Great little place, friendly atmosphere, intimate, hidden gem.

The new owner honoured a voucher given out by the previous owners and passed on to me very recently. I had no idea but he took it in good grace and insisted we didn’t pay. I have to say it was quiet, but it was early on a cold December Thursday morning, and the other people there all appeared regulars. The breakfast baps we had were delicious and the coffee great. The staff were all lovely and we have to wish these people well in what is a tough climate.

We were recently given a voucher for this cafe but had not been in it since it’s new owners had taken over. The voucher turned out to be an old one from its previous owners but the new owner honoured it with good grace. The breakfast baps were lovely and the coffee was great. It was early on a snowy Thursday in December so quiet but it had a good community feel, with regulars familiar with the staff. We will definitely return and best of luck to the new owners of this old faithful in a tough climate.

Love this as well, very tasty dishes, greats smoothies and cool deco.

Delicious kedgeree and soup of the day (ginger and sweet potato). Friendly service , gave us a free slice of cake as we were celebrating our anniversary 🙏💫

It's my first time but the coconut cake and hot chocolate I ordered were divine! I am VERY picky with hot chocolate but theirs was a perfect consistency and it was not too sweet. Some coffee shops add sugar to their hot chocolate to hide the lack of cocoa taste but this was not like that. Perfect amount of coco and sweetness to it, it was real hot chocolate; so nice and frothy on top. The coconut cake was moist and had a beautiful texture thanks to the generous coconut that was in there. You could really taste the coconut and the slight cream on top honestly gave it a birthday cake feel. Dont even get me started with the pomegranate drops on top... My goodness. Just as you felt it was getting sweet, the pomegranate counteracted the sweetness with a delicious citrus burst! The customer service was perfect; I was given a table with a clean cup and bottle of water the second I walked in. Also, as I was leaving, I was given a free muffin! Bonus! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. I can't wait to try their salads and sandwiches! 😊

Best place in the area for breakfast/brunch. New and old things on the menu are fantastic. Baffling to read a couple of poor reviews, have never had a bad experience, staff are great, coffee is exceptional and the food has always been 10/10

Very nice service with delicious food. Absolutely recommended!

Perfect location, great breakfast and great staff ❤️

Our breakfast place. Amazing place with garden. Food is delicious, lots of choice and service is amazing.

I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal in Haberdashery. I had an amazing breakfast, with a couple of teas. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal for those who want family-oriented place.

One star because the coffee was decent… I ordered the french toast, which apparently you can get with a bunch of meat, or absolutely none. I went for the ‘berries and creme fraiche’ as our other order was a full English so I could have a piece of bacon from there - that piece of bacon was the edible part. I got served this - 3 soggy pieces of bread covered in what tasted like old yoghurt and jam. I had to scrape this mess off to stop the already limp bread from becoming actual mush. I don’t know which would be worse; if this is genuinely the offering you charge over £10 for, or if you didn’t have the correct ingredients today but decided to charge me the full price for this instead. I could easily make better at home, and there are plenty of places in the area that make much better fare for the same price. I’m honestly surprised that the kitchen wasn’t too embarrassed to serve this… the service was surly, apart from the fairly friendly man who cleaned our table by simply brushing crumbs off the table and into my lap 👍🏻 very keen to support local business and wanted to support this place as it is now under new management, but I’m afraid I simply feel robbed and won’t be back, as I don’t think it’s acceptable to serve this food. The cooked breakfasts seem to be much better.

Lovely food, cute little back garden, friendly staff and excellent bloody marys. What's not to like!

Lovely place, lovely flood, lovely staff! Will be coming back soon!

Went today. Heard about it and had high hopes. It was OK but very expensive and overrated. Go to dobar instead.

Such delicious food!!!! Fresh and wonderfully flavoured. Lovely places to sit in the garden or conservatory. A real discovery in Crouch End!

So this was the 2nd time myself and partner have had our lunch at The Haberdashery. Both times the food was simply outstanding. Howevever I will focus on todays lunch as it is still fresh in my mind. I had the falafal wrap that came with a lovely side of hummus and I think a nice red cabbage type of coleslaw. My wrap was really stacked and and it was bursting with flavour from the first mouthful to the last. The taste of all the fresh ingredients and the mint youghurt was simply delicious. My partner had the chicken and bacon ( I think club) sandwich. Her food also came with the delicious sides. She also said her lunch was amazing. We were also given a bottle of water and 2 glasses which is a lovely touch as we didn't really want to have a fruit juice or hot drink (although the menu looks great with these choices) The actual place is really nicely decorated. It's the kind of place you instantly feel relaxed and want to eat in. The staff and service is 2nd to none. They're all lovely. I can't rate this place high enough and easily the best lunch we have had in Crouch End.

New owners! Fantastic hearty breakfast.

This place is lovely for coffee or a meal, and the service is wonderful, they recently changed owners and they had some growing pains, but they made it through!

I liked this place! Sad it is now closed. It’s now reopened under new owners. Great hot chocolate and muffins baked in flower pots.

Great food, not overpriced. Dog friendly as well. Very nice atmosphere, and good coffee.

TLDR version: They are amazing! Delicious food, lovely to eat out and perfect for private hire! Highly recomended! The long version: Due to our history here, me and my husband chose to host our wedding reception at the haberdashery. The new owner and the rest of the staff were so incredibly kind and accomodating, it was everything we asked for and so much more! We worked together on a HUGE menu that could feed an army, all the guests loved the food (the salmon and the cake especially got the largest number of compliments). We included a lot of the mains in the lunch menu, plus dips, canapes and salad that I was set on, alcoholic and non alcoholic punch and other drinks, accomodating guests with all kinds of food preferences and dietry requirements. The staff were always there when needed and made us all feel like superstars and at the same time cosy and at home! Thank you so much for an unforgettable day, truely!

A lot of care and attention went into my breakfast burrito, which was delicious.

We have always loved The Haberdashery; it was a real gem in Crouch End. The food could be patchy in general, but the breakfasts were brilliant. It was also brilliant for kids with lots of decent options (that kids are prepared to eat) and a willingness to be flexible. I understand the new team want to change things up and put their stamp on things, but there was a reason why the original owners did things the way they did. Gone is the quirky decor, cute plates and treasures that were scattered about and, as a result, the neighbourhood vibe. The menu is interesting if far more limited than it was, but many of our favourites had disappeared. The kid's porridge, the brilliant range of English breakfasts, the juices and so on. Everything we ordered was disappointing. The portions were far less generous, and nothing felt like it had been made with care. For example, when we ordered some toast, it came hastily spread with butter that we hadn't asked for. It is a small thing, but it is about choice and caring for what the customer wants. All the food needed seasoning and the kitchen was reluctant to accommodate changes. If the new owners are serious about making a go of this and succeeding in the competitive local scene, they need to do a lot better.

Its sad that the original owner left London.He used to do the best English breakfast in London. I visited last Sunday and Im afraid the new owner doesn't get it right.The price has gone up by about 25% and the quality down to I don't know what. Very disappointing. What was once a wonderful cafe/teashop has gone pear shaped.

Fantastic place! The food was also really good. We ordered Malaysian chicken and sides of courgettes, tomatoes, basil as well as chickpeas and aubergines. Also the salmon teriyaki was excellent!

Nice little place to visit for coffee and a bite to eat. Interesting twist on some tasty dishes. Nice feel to the place which has a quirky, friendly vibe going on. Will call again when in the area

Love this place, went with my husband and dog and they were so friendly. I will definitely return.

We had a late lunch at The Haberdashery with my parents and son. Cute kids menu. A great selection of continental favourites made from fresh ingredients. Fresh daily baked sourdough bread from next door. Excellent coffee. Helpful and pleasant staff. There is a sweet little garden at the back. Nappy changing facilities in the WC. The Haberdashery is bright, colourful and offers a memorable and repeatable experience. Polite, friendly and helpful staff. Recommended for families, couples or good coffee junkies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was there yesterday. Atmosphere was great. 🥰the coffee was 10 out of 10. I highly recommend this cafe.I will definitely go back.

We were devastated when The Haberdashery closed down earlier in the year after the original owner had decided to leave London. This was our favourite brunch spot and you could pretty much guarantee that we'd be here every Sunday for our 'usual' weekend sustenance. However, we were thrilled to discover that the new owners were re-opening this popular Crouch End eatery under the same name, interior design and similar menu. Not only was the interior decor maintained, including the seasonal art exhibits that are displayed on the walls, but the menu remained surprisingly similar to the original. In fact, some of the items had been enhanced. As a self-confessed tea junkie I was delighted to see the inclusion of a range of new teas. It's not often that you find peony tea on the menu so to have a choice of these was a real treat. I've been working my way through this new list since it's reopened and have not been disappointed. For a brunch to be a success, eggs and a good Hollandaise sauce are a must. This new iteration of The Haberdashery certainly surpassed my expectations. One of the bonuses of its previous incarnation was the gluten-free alternative options which have happily, been continued by its successor. The only thing I would add to these amazing eggs Benedict brunches would be a simple green salad which its previous incarnation would include with a simple but tasty balsamic dressing. Our 9 year-old was always a big fan of their original Kid's menu but has become enamoured with several of their newer 'grown-up' menu options. She was delighted to discover that their famous sweet and savoury muffins were still on the menu, not to mention a new range of delicious cakes. In all, we are delighted that The Hab that we know and love is still very much alive and kicking. We certainly miss the original owner and staff members but really do appreciate the commitment and determination of the new team as well as the new additions to their delicious and extensive menu. We look forward to many more weekends at this cosy and friendly eatery.

This lovely place is under new management. He's apparently kept a lot of the decor and meals on the menu. I've tried a couple of the new dishes, which were absolutely delicious. Orzo pasta was a first and the bavette - both excellent. Today's find was cherry blossom tea (there's a menu of "pharmaceutical teas" which made me curious). In any event, highly recommended, I'll probably be back tomorrow for lunch.

Friendly welcome and freshly made food. Really enjoyed the ginger soda jar and the lunch deal of soup and a large salad. Will be back.

Friendly service, nice interior with cool artwork however the food was mediocre. Paid nearly a tenner for a plain roll with a patty in it and some soggy Iceland lettuce on the side.

im a teenager in london who needs to escape every once in a while. my mum and i found this adorable haberdashery just over two years ago and have been coming for monthly lunch trips ever since. i couldn't help but introduce this place to my friend and now we go there as often as we can whether its to revise, chat or enjoy each others company. the food is magnificent, i must admit the English breakfast is my favourite. thank you for making a cafe so homey and comforting :)

Visited Crouch End for the first time this morning for a quick visit with my daughter. The Habidashery cafe was recommended by a lovely lady in one of the shops. I had a special chicken salad, which was served with a very tasty, warm bread, and a cuppa. Absolutely delicious! Will definitely return on my next visit to London. Staff very pleasant, and service was perfect! ❤️

I dream about the eggs Benedict here! Great service, amazing food and drinks

Yummy chicken and bacon sandwiches!

Best coffee ever, very kind and smiley stuff, beautiful atmosphere!!!!

My husband waited over half an hour for food, only to learn that it had been given to a couple who arrived 20 minutes after them by mistake. This was meant to be a treat with my daughter, but he had to leave her before theirs was ready, she had to have it as takeaway as he'd an appointment. Arrived and ordered at 1.30pm. He left at 2.20pm, and she collected it after that. When it arrived home it was stone cold and tasteless, and she was really upset. No apology, just a shrug of the shoulders, but happy to take our money all the same.

Friendly and warm. And how did they know to bring a paper doggy bag with my chocolate brownie? (It *was* quite large... and chocolately!)

Fab brunch spot. Service always great, the foods delicious (especially the veggy brekky), coffee is lovely and its good value. They're also really good with covid protocol. We live locally and would say its the best brunch in a Crouch.

Awesome international brunch-y and comfort-y food and drinks and baked goods in an incomparable setting in Crouch End - been going for years now and especially in this time we have to look after local gems like these - may it be 10, 20 or 50 more.

Great place with nice breakfast or light meal choices

We had a great experience - friendly staff, food was all made with fresh and local ingredients, the decor is charming and there is a little garden out back which is a peaceful oasis. Nothing to fault.

Great lunch. The sweet potato and ginger soup was lovely. We felt very comfortable with the way they are managing covid safety.

Lovely cafe, friendly service, great hot drinks. Pro tip: brownies are a must-have!

Guys, what happened? You used to be amazing for quick delicious breakfast. It’s been 30 Mins since we ordered. Come on, you aren’t going to survive like that!

Food took 45 mins to arrive and ‘Swedish meatballs’ were covered in bisto. Which was also over my coleslaw. Appalling. Then waiter said the delay was because of what we ordered. Don’t eat here.

45 minute wait. ‘Swedish Meatballs’ came covered in bisto. Appalling. Limp polenta ‘chips’. Then waiter said the delay was due to what we’d ordered. He Argued ‘it’s had only been 35minutes’ Don’t eat here.

We had such a lovely time here! Their pancakes are absolutely delicious and so is their smoked salmon + scrambled eggs combo (they give you a really good portion of salmon, too). Their drinks are also pretty good, you can't really beat a classic teapot set as far as I'm concerned. Lovely interior decor and fair prices, we'll be back for sure.

Tasty food, lovely atmosphere, great English breakfasts.

Disappointing. Me and a friend came on Bank Holiday Monday and we were seated pretty much straight away. However the service was really slow. It took them half an hour to take our order and then another half an hour for our food to come. We ordered a couple of cocktails and these were really watery. The food when it arrived was OK. I have previously been here for brunch a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. I'm not sure if because they were busy that the Quality was impacted. Edit: there is a difference between giving an honest review and 'trashing' a venue. We had to get the waiters attention three times before they took our order. You cannot only be open to accepting praise as a business and should consider the feedback. EOTHO was irrelevant in this instance as we were there for a birthday brunch and had expected the scheme to have finished. Regardless its no excuse for the service, even more so for the response from the owner.

Best cafe in Crouch End for food - the veggie breakfast and breakfast burrito are my favourites but ideally I'd eat everything on the menu! Coffee is decent and staff are friendly, I always bring visitors as it's hard to find places with character like this in London!

Fabulous meal. Very healthy and full of delicious flavours and nice ambience inside

Recientemente nos hemos convertido en vecinos de este lugar encantador y seguimos notando cómo siempre está ocupado, así que mi esposa y yo pensamos que veríamos de qué se trataba todo el alboroto y creo que descubrimos una pequeña joya ya que la comida y el personal son excelentes las opciones de comida. para los vegetarianos son increíbles.El único problema que encontramos es que es como si intentaran poner muchas sillas debido a la gran demanda y un pequeño jardín en la parte de atrás también.El personal fue servicial, sin embargo, parece que se pierden un poco cuando el lugar se llena y no estoy seguro de si el caballero que trabaja es el propietario o el gerente, siempre parece gruñón por alguna razón.

Lovely food served by a great team, recommend the brunches as the portions are plentiful and delicious. Small conservatory area at back . Lovely touches like muffins baked in plant pots and mismatched crockery. A real Crouch End find.

Really cool spot cool environment and tasty food.

Spot the difference. The first time we came we were so happy to have a proper thick italian-style hot chocolate. This time we were served something completely different. We send it back and ask for the proper thing. The waitress said 'we do not usually do it thick: it becomes like a pudding'. If they don't usually do it, how come the first time was good? It was remade but it was still far from the great hot chocolate we had the first time. 3 stars is the avarage of the two experiences

Cosy and friendly with a great selection of delicious food! Everything I've had has been good!

Café muy popular, ninguna mesa estaba vacía por mucho tiempo. Excelente servicio amable. Mi marido tenía un desayuno inglés completo y mi hijo el desayuno vegetariano. Ambas placas se apilaron con muchos artículos diferentes, lo cual fue muy impresionante, y los llenó a ambos para el día. Tuve la tostada francesa, que también estaba delicioso. Amplia selección de bebidas también.

Cute and quirky with a tasty, filling menu

Cosy and lovely Staff and customers nice

I avoid the place as I cracked a tooth on a couscous salad. A friend did exactly the same thing a week after. They obviously don't wash their couscous! Still having dental treatment and may need a root canal.

I used to love this cafe, being a Crouch End local. However i had a disappointing experience and so I haven't gone back. It would seem that due to the cost of running a cafe in Crouch End and the level of competition they have, they are not so keen on single customers. I went for lunch by myself. I ordered straight away, ate straight away and then ordered another coffee. It was brought to me by the owner who said I had 10 minutes to drink it and then I would have to vacate the seat to enable other customers to come. Other people (couples or fours) who came at the same time as me were not being told the same thing. I would have completely understood if I had been there far too long, nursing a cup of coffee. But I had ordered a full lunch and had only just been given the coffee. I tried to reason with the owner but he was a little rude and refused to talk about it. I left straight away and he had the decency not to charge me for the coffee (which I had not drank). Such a shame as I used to be such a fan. So if you're a solo customer i'd try elsewhere, but if you're in a group its a good cafe. In response to Greg. Greg i am surprised to read the lies you write - i had no book. And it is funny that you now say you remember me being there previously - on the day you said you did not realise i was a regular. Also very interesting that you lie to say i had previously brought books - it was the first time I had ever been there as a solo customer. What a shame Greg - I had previously thought you to be a decent person. But to make up lies about a customer is really a poor show.

Nasty rude staff. Tried to ask the girl who was setting up what time they were opening and she snarled and blanked me. Avoiding in future. PS re the reply below some business advice - fail to listen to feedback, fail to learn, fail.

This cute cafe in the quaint neighborhood of Crouch End has one of the best English breakfasts I’ve had. It’s quite far from central London, but I highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Visited on a weekday afternoon and the atmosphere was very different to their busy brunch weekend mornings. Very laid back and relaxed. I’ve avoided the restaurant for a while since being asked to move tables on a weekend but upon visiting again today I will absolutely be back, will just be wiser with my timings. Great food and friendly staff.

Locul a fost extraordinar si un personal bine instruit ,servirea a fost una foarte bună 😉

This has been a staple of the Crouch End scene for over a decade now and still winning all sorts of acclaim for their breakfasts, baking and other treats - it's not hard to see why. Everything is freshly made using quality ingredients and service is spotless. Long may it continue!

It's been a while that I've been wanting to try this cafe and a lunch with a friend visiting the area seemed as good a reason as any. Firstly, the cafe is very cute inside, with lots of cosy and stylish little touches. The staff are friendly and efficient, without being overbearing and it's nice that they do table service and bring you water without asking.The food was DELICIOUS, especially the vegan breakfast which had some amazing scrambled tofu on it. Definitely will visit again.

I was very excited to find this very cute looking I dependant cafe in Crouch End. Sadly I was greeted by a very aggressive & obviously unhappy young woman who directed me to a seat as if I was a potty old woman. Sometime later she wandered over to take my order of coffee & a muffin. Despite the lack of customers my coffee arrived a good 10 mins later & was lukewarm. No muffin!!After signally the young woman & her seemingly deliberately ignoring me I got up & asked for my muffin which was lying forgotten behind the counter. Totally ignoring me, a young man made a big deal out of bringing to my table. I suggest to the owner of this cute cafe that he/she up-skills his front of house staff. And btw - the muffin was pretty bad.

The food and staff are lovely. We really enjoy it here but the 3* is because it's always packed and trying to get a seat here on most days is like playing roulette - all luck. You can't book in advance either.

Lovely staff. Great service and a beautiful setting. Stopped in for a quick coffee and a bacon and sausage sandwich. Cooked to perfection and just what I needed first thing in the morning.

A 5 star pancake breakfast - it is wonderful. The haberdashery is cozy, welcoming and has great service.

Cosy café tucked away in Crouch End with a lovely range of breakfasts that are available all day. Plesant ambiance.

Beautiful coffee shop. An absolute gem in Crouch end with great food served. All fresh and so tasty. The staff is also amazing.

Hard to fault anything about this place. It's been around for years as a community hub, the food is fresh, tasty and the staff eager to make your visit enjoyable. And the new breakfast burrito is heaven in a wrap!!!

Nice room at the back. A bit unfriendly but the food was fine.

Went for breakfast. Looked good on the menu and fried breakfast is obviously pretty easy to make but somehow they managed to screw up everything. Fried eggs undercooked, cold toast, over-salted spinach, dry sausage (cut in half) and everything extremely greasy with a basil dressing (on top of a fried breakfast!?) I told them about the undercooked eggs and they gave me another pretty obviously undercooked one (with a layer of translucent white across the top).The neighbouring table also just sent their breakfast back and don’t look too happy! These guys obviously don’t know how to cook properly...Plus side the home-made bread my wife got was pretty good. Avoid!

Small hidden in a side street in Highgate, the ambiance is very cosy and the brunch is ideal, and it was delicious!

Very good breakfast. Great coffee. Nice atmosphere.

Yummy food. Good vibes. Friendly staff.

Lovely cafe in the area - I love their food but the coffee can be inconsistent but the service always makes up for it

Such a cosy, quirky place with friendly staff and a delicious, varied menu with something for everyone.

Love the haberdashery decor and vibe!
