I tried the chicken shawarma, chips and drink for £7 deal. Very nice with chilli and garlic sauce. No salad included at this price, but nevertheless was still very good. Clean restaurant and a friendly boss man.

I had the opportunity to eat at this coffee for lunch during the weekend. It wasn't super busy, and we didn't have to wait. The menu offered several options between standard and vegetarian, all of the very delicious and interesting. They also make fresh orange, carrots or apple juice, which is nice. The service was extremely fast, and in terms of overall cost, on average. I definitely recommend it 👌

I have been searching for a cafe exactly like this- homey feeling, local, small, cozy, reasonably priced and above all tasty. The food here exceeded my expectations. They have an amazing selection on the menu. The staff are amazing and helpful and the atmosphere is sooooo relaxing and nice. Will be coming back.

We were really surprised by the portion. Most importantly, the food was amazing. The pancake was soft and topped with syrups, pistachio and very fresh berries. We customised our own breakfast and it was very tasty. My Oreo milkshake was the best treat that wasn't too sweet with loads of cream. What a great brunch! :) The shop was nicely decorated and neat though there isn't a lot of space therefore a bit squashed.

What a lovely cafe. Beautiful cup of tea comes in a lovely tea pot. Also the bread used in the sandwiches is home made and delicious. A great alternative to the busy high street chain cafes. Very good service as well.

Fab place- took my niece and she loved it! The coffee in particular is the best blend of coffee I’ve tasted, plus the chicken avocado wrap hits the spot every time! Great experience ⭐️

Great addition to the area. Visited with a friend on a Monday morning. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. The coffee was fantastic (very important for mums at soft play!). Our 3 year olds enjoyed all the play equipment. They could easily navigate it all without adult help which meant we could sit and watch them have fun! We stayed for brunch and the food was delicious. We both easily found parking nearby. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

Clean, cosy, delicious coffee and food and unlike big soft plays you can sit and see your kids from any table! Highly recommend for 6s and under.

Adorable in every way. My 2.5 year old loved the soft play and the food. Friendly staff and lovely customers. It gets quite busy even on weekdays because it’s so appealing. Even the baby changing area is sparkling clean!

We were around in North Finchley for a play at arts depot when came across this gem of a place for brunch. Their salad bowls tempted me to go inside but the menu had a lot of my favourite breakfast dishes so I ended up ordering Shakshouka that tasted quite similar to how I cook this dish at home. Do try it! The baguettes were delicious too. Staff here were super attentive and friendly with great sense of humour. It was good to see them all enjoy their work and try to put a smile on everyone’s faces and maintain great vibes. Highly recommend visiting here. Although it’s out of the way and we don’t normally go to Finchley but we might go again just to enjoy some breakfast here.

Food - incredible, I felt like I’m going to heaven while I was eating, the coffee was amazing also, we really regret we didn’t find this place sooner Staff - the nicest people I probably met in whole London, they are fast with delivering your order to your table The place is a little small which i don’t like generally but here I don’t really mind it’s a really nice and comfortable and safe place. Can’t wait to come back there ❤️

Lovely place in North Finchley with a such impressive service (super quick and friendly) also the food was amazing! The place is not massive, but there is a quick turnover of clients, so the wait is not very long when there aren't seats. I def recommend it 👌

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Came expecting a breakfast and got a fresh, nutritious, wholly fulfilling feast! I ordered the Mediterranean Breakfast and I cannot describe how happy it made me. The variety, the presentation, the flavours! Such incredible value for money. Lovely service and some great throwback tunes to groove to as you enjoy a nourishing masterpiece. 10/10 would visit every day. Edit: they just brought us complimentary croissants with nutella! Best dining experience ever.

I recently had scrambled eggs at The Coffee Place and Breakfast, and they were absolutely fantastic! The eggs were cooked to perfection—light, fluffy, and full of flavor. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural taste without being overpowering. The portion size was generous, and they paired well with the fresh toast. This is easily one of the best scrambled egg dishes I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be returning for more and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great breakfast!

Family owned since 1988? You can tell, as they are so rightly proud of this well run cafe. Clean and plentiful seating (40+ seats), with clean toilet for patrons. Wide-ranging menu. Ordered the ‘set 4’ breakfast, and which was served piping hot and was absolutely delicious! Had more breakfasts that I can count at cafes and this was one of the best. Staff welcoming and friendly and engage in conversation readily. Will be sure to visit again next time I’m in North Finchley.

A lovely little boutique coffee shop, also had an expansive food menu. Was offered a frappe which wasn’t on the menu, and went with it and it tastes absolutely lovely. My partner got some boba ice tea which was also great. There’s nice seating outside, perfect in the summer heat, and inside was decorated nicely too. We were both very glad we stopped here for a midday drink break. The items on the menu are also very reasonably priced

See it to believe it. This place will make you feel good, its just a place were you can seat and be yourself. The staff really knows what they are doing. Its like they understand the customers so well. The energy of this place just matches the vibration of your energy. Its in fact something amazing. In such a busy city like London... we need places like this where we can just run to and rest for a while, putting our thoughts together, wether taking notes or sketching or just doing nothing really. Thank you Bespoke Cafe.
