Little gem of a place. Strong coffee & great food in a gorgeous space tucked away on the high street. Protein breakfast was delicious - THE most perfect fried eggs & beautiful sourdough toast on the side. Price perfectly reasonable too. Would 100% recommend.

Cozy and lovely place decorated with a Mediterranean style and smart located at a rock throwing distance from Archway station. The staff is friendly, the tables and chairs are very comfortable and the food is great. I tried the Mediterranean breakfast and my partner the English. Both were great and also many other options are available in the menu.

Can't say enough about this place. We're visiting from the States, and we didn't want a standard pastry/coffee breakfast. This place has wonderful choices many of which are healthy, the staff is great, and view of the street is busy and bright. I had the Mediterranean Breakfast, which was outstanding. It's an easy choice if you're in the area.

Best chicken club sandwich ever had in London. They were kind enough to replace bacon with Turkish sujuk in the sandwich upon my request. Reasonable and affordable prices, and most importantly very good quality food. The staff is very kind and accommodating. Lovely cafe to visit!

An excellent place to have breakfast. 8 of us in for Sunday Brunch. I particularly recommend the £14 protein brunch. Great portion sizes against the average plate cost. -1 star for 1 eggs florentine plate that had undercooked poached eggs but this was removed from the bill after a pleasant chat with the staff. Speaking of the staff, they were all excellent in particular Leila needs a shout out. She is exceptionally friendly and helpful. A real asset to the team. We all highly recommend this place.

I can't begin to explain how awesome Le Peche Mignon is. Ok, I'll try. First, the croissants are a must. They are flaky on the outside and buttery on the inside, and are far better than croissants from the more popular places in central London. Second, the coffee is excellent, whether you are getting a cappuccino or black. Third, the quiches are spectacular - flaky crust and flavourful fillings. Fourth, the croissants...

Authentic and unpretentious french cuisine in a beautiful room. Family run and it shows; they take a lot of pride in every detail. While brunch is always a favourite for us, we’re thrilled they’re now open for evenings. Advise calling ahead for a reso. If you can’t get a table they have a great selection of meats, cheeses, desserts to enjoy at home.

We stopped here for breakfast and had a lovely slice of lemon bread and chocolate croissant. Also their hot chocolate and peppermint tea was yummy. The staff is very friendly and the vibe is relaxed and cozy. Highly recommend if you are wanting to find a nice place for breakfast.

Cute people serving cute things! Walked in for my morning coffee post run! They use Monmouth coffee so if Borough market is far, this is perf! The pastries were fresh. Quick service. Friendly staff and welcoming with a wide smile! Great start to a day. They also do french Wine and Deli items like cheese and meat if you eat nonveg! The name is a tricky one but a hidden gem and definitely worth trying!

Quite simply the best French cafe in London, with croque monsieurs to die for, excellent sausage rolls and mochas using Monmouth coffees, and fabulous produce from the likes of Dusty Knuckle, Navarrico, Maisin Marc, and La Trinquelitinne. I was fortunate to live around the corner from here for many years and I’ll always make the desire to visit when I’m in the neighbourhood.

Jake & Rachel, make this coffee shop very special. Dare I say, their coffee, Bacon BAP and hash browns kick 🇦🇺 cafes, out of the park! Best coffee I've had in my 2 weeks in Europe. Apparently, this family run business is a result of inspiration of the owners travels through Australia. Also, they bottle their own sauce called Filthy!

Super delicious smokey bacon bap and hash browns. Their chipotle ketchup is so light and fresh. Everything I ate was super tasty and made with care. Vibe is immaculate with ambient music and fast Wi-Fi. Staff is kind and fast. Will definitely return!

Their flat white and almond croissant were the best I’ve had in london thus far. The flat white was perfectly balanced - not too bitter, not too sweet. The almond croissant was dense and so soft. They went really well together. There is limited seating but it’s a great place to sit down and work or just drop by :)

Jake and Josh were an absolute delight to speak to. My partner and I came in for a coffee and were very warmly greeted. I inquired about the coffee and had a great chat with the Barista who also let me sample another type of coffee they served/sold. The owner then came in and we chatted about our love for Arsenal. Both of them also helped provide information about the area as we are new to London and looking for a place to live. I couldn't have been welcomed any better. Really felt the community vibe here and would highly recommend a visit.

Rua Coffee Bar

Rua is the best coffee shop in North London and one of the best in the city. The coffee is incredible and their pastries and toasties are to die for. Every time time I go in, I’m excited to try something new and I’m never disappointed! The atmosphere at Rua is so inviting and the staff are refreshingly genuine - making it an experience and bringing an energy that very few places can match. I also love how it’s right next to Holloway Rd. Station, making it such a convenient way to start any morning. This has become a staple of my weekend and one of my favorite places in London! 10/10

🎃 Went to an after hours pumpkin carving event at Rua. My partner and I are still raving about how much fun we had! £5 entry, we got a large pumpkin and all the tools. We were also given mulled cider, brownie and sweeties while carving away. Super cool friendly staff, lots of good chats and laughs. Instantly felt a warm and welcoming vibe when we walked in, spacious yet cosy atmosphere. Such a great group of people to meet amongst the chaos of London. Bonus- I won a prize for my pumpkin lady! A delicious smelling ghost candle and a coffee voucher! Plus we got to keep our pumpkins and a tea light for inside. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks again Rua. Wonderful evening!

Great selection of coffee to take away- always a must for me- especially when it comes with a free drink! They keep the New Yorker and a great selection of books to chill with! Soo glad to see “this” happening to Holloway road after the closure of @oncallcoffee 😁

Really outstanding, so many interesting and excellent coffees, both batch and pour-over. Best coffee in the area by far. Service is great too, insightful + helpful. Oh and the food, the pastries and cakes and such, delicious. This place is excellent, and deserves great things

A real hidden gem, conveniently located by Holloway station. Everything we ordered was outstanding: pistachio croissant, black coffee, lemon ginger shot and the star of the show - the strawberry anf pistachio Danish. This was light, with a perfect contrast of sweet pistachio, sour strawberry and crispy pastry. The decor was also lovely and welcoming. Very highly recommend!

Rindo Cafe is a great place to go for a relaxing and enjoyable meal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The menu features a variety of delicious options, including sandwiches, salads, and coffee. I especially enjoyed the Coffee, Pressed juice which was refreshing and flavorful. The sandwiches were also very good, and the cake was fresh and crusty. Overall, Rindo Cafe is a great place to go for a delicious and satisfying meal. The flowers are beautiful, colourful and vibrant.

This a great place to eat, drink, and relax. I love the drinks, food, and wonderful family that works here. Rose and her family are an absolute delight and are incredibly welcoming. If you are in the area this cafe indulges in quality food and flavors. My time here in London is limited but I really glad I found this place when I did and so for the rest of my stay this will be my "go to" spot. Thanks :D

Apart from the nicest decaf coffee I have managed to find in London, great pastries and a lovely atmosphere/interior, whoever's doing the hiring for this place needs another 5 stars. The staff is always so nice, calm and welcoming even at the busiest sunny London weekends at peak times. Plus, their dog-friendly policy is not for show, they genuinely seem to enjoy the dogs that come through their doors.

In London, it's often a choice between coffee or food, but rarely both. On this occasion, I opted for coffee (the batch brew was excellent!), but I was pleasantly surprised by the delectable desserts. P.S. Gluten free friendly!

A perfect flat white. The flavour of the coffee was so good - slightly nutty and fruity, a bit sweet without any sugar just milk. Good looking cakes, didn’t try them yet!

Profile has easily become one of my top three coffee spots in London. It has a really nice atmosphere, the coffees are fantastic and smooth and the food is lovely. We stumbled upon it by chance and decided to give it a go, ordering a Oat milk Matcha, Oat Flat White and a banana loaf to share. All went down a treat, and now I'm looking forward to the next time we're in the area so we can pop in.

Wow I love it here! Excellent coffee, we had a flat white which was chocolatey, smooth and easy to drink! As for the filter, it was naturally processed, and tasted quite fruity, light and sweet! An absolute treat to go down! We also managed to sneak in a pain au suisse! We’ve never heard of it before and it looked divine; it was sweet, chocolatey and crisp on the outside while moist on the inside! There are about 4 tables to sit inside and it’s a such a cute space! The baristas are also so so nice and friendly! Would recommend for sure!

AMAZING & DESPERATELY NEEDED! A hidden oasis, workspace, & community of young professionals in this huge warehouse, in an under-served area of Holloway. The front looks like like a tiny cafe with great coffee & sandwiches... but keep walking on through to discover a desperately needed workspace for North London creatives & professionals. Courtyard is lush and green, and I hope they'll serve beers in the summer.

Great coffee - temp, texture and espresso were all good. Toastie was great and made with good ingredients. Also the outdoor seating was warm enough with the heater that my girlfriend and I could sit outside very easily despite it being 3 degrees c. All in all nice spot with good vibes and tasty goods.

The coffee and service were absolutely fabulous, but this is NOT a coworking space. According to the baristas, that space closed over a year ago and Google has refused to take down those misleading pictures. Here are some more recent photos of their space, for your reference.

Simply the loveliest coffee place in the area!! I am a regular (and loyal hehe) customer of theirs. I buy coffee from them at least 2 times a week. You can collect a stamp everytime u purchased a coffee and the 9th is for free!! (I think I've already had 4 free drinks yayy) The coffee they make is decent for sure. I personally love the taste of their beans. Another reason why i always come back when there are other choices around the area is that the baristas are always so friendly and welcoming, especially the lady from Czech Republic (should've asked ur name, apologies). She is literally the sweetest barista I've ever met!!! Such great hospitality, full of passion and great energy. She always sparks up great conversations and I just enjoy chatting with her everytime I go there to grab a coffee. You know when someone remembers what u causally said last time and asks about a follow up the next time u go… genuinely feels like a friend of mine, but a friend who makes good coffee. The environment in the coffee shop is also nice and comforting. They got all these green plants in it and a calming background music. U can buy a cute plant from them, or u can simply enjoy the peace and calmness this place brings to u. Like an escape from the hustle and bustle. Words cannot describe how much this place means to me when i have been away from home and going through difficulties. I am just truly grateful for ur existence. xx

Everyday I pass by this café but today was my first time getting in and omg their space is amazing! I only had time to buy only one plant from their big variety. I got a Satin Pothos and a very cute 😺 vase. The friendly guy working there was so helpful about my plant and great in general, I will keep coming back to try their menu aswell ❤️

I really enjoy coming here to grab a takeaway coffee (takeaway only for now) and to soak in the atmosphere for a moment. It feels like an oasis in the concrete desert of London. Attached is what the shop looks like at the moment (post lockdown) The coffee beans are from Monmouth and the coffee is really well made. The plants in the photo are both decorative and on sale throughout the shop, going from tiny succulents all the way to free standing house plants. I definitely recommend stopping by even to browse 😊
