Great little place I stumbled across during a morning dash across north London I’m not sure what’s better - the staff or the food The place is so impeccably clean and the coffee is practically perfect. You will be treated by an almost infinite choice of baked goods Get down and visit when you’ve the chance

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the delicious cake you gifted me! It was an absolute treat. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture was incredibly light and moist. Every bite was a little piece of heaven! I truly appreciate the thoughtful gesture – it made my day so much sweeter. Thank you again for such a delightful surprise!

Have been coming here for over a year, most mornings. Great coffee and the best sourdough for miles around baked every morning by the husband and wife team who own the place. There is always a friendly smile. My favourite are the date and Walmut cookies.

I had the pleasure to taste a piece of mango passion fruit cake last year. I loved it and it's been my 'go to' cake since then. I've ordered it 3 times for different family celebrations and I treated my friend on her 50th birthday with this delightful cake. After my recommendation, some of my friends also ordered this cake from #Vanilla Café. The cake is very light, with soft sponge and fruity layers. My daughter compared it to mango sorbet. The handmade chocolate decorations made each cake absolutely unique. Highly recommended. I'm looking forward to the next occasion to order it. It's worth mentioning that there are many more flavours of cakes to choose from, including vegan and gluten free options. The atmosphere of the place and professionalism of the owners is also second to none. Thank you for your delicious cakes #Vanilla Café.

Excellent place for breakfast. We were welcomed with open arms and were accommodated to park our 2 bicycles. The scrambled eggs on toast are excellent, come with a side salads (with avocado!). Coffee is good and strong. Bit of a shame that it’s right on busy Archway road, but still very much worth a visit.

Lovely decor and atmosphere. Clean and well maintained. The staff were a little stern/serious but very attentive and our order was taken quickly and food arrived promptly. Food was very high quality and prices very reasonable. Will definitely come again.

We had a very nice experience at Beam. The atmosphere was very cosy and the food was great. I have been to Beam so many times already. I would recommend going for brunch! I love that they ask if you have any allergies as well.

Nice vegetarian breakfast, although the beans are not the best I've had and the cherry tomatoes and feta are a bit uninteresting -- love the harissa yogurt on the other hand, and the vegan sausage is quite good. Beautiful place with a lot of natural light; service was a bit cold but not rude.

This is a really nice local cafe. I come everyday to get croissant every morning for my daughter. She loves how she’s able to dish it out in the bag herself. I love the beef burger and chips. Also the beef/chicken sausages. Fresh and tastes good, great portions. Highly recommend .

I have been visiting this little cosy cafe for some months. It’s run by a very pleasant couple. The food is freshly prepared and delicious, it is very reasonably priced. My favourite is the Greek omelette I like the chicken rice too. I highly recommend this cafe, you will not be disappointed. The homemade cakes make a good dessert.

Excellent, generous full afternoon tea. Possibly just for the Platinum Jubilee weekend, but astonishingly good quality (and value). Better than many of the fancy hotels. Not a single thing to complain about - proper clotted cream, homemade scones, light and fluffy Victoria sponge, perfectly-seasoned sandwiches. Superb.

Really enjoyed my lunch at this cafe. Clean and quirky interior, friendly staff and scrumptious food. If I lived local, I’d be coming here very often. I was actually looking for a halal cafe in the area, but I don’t think there are many in Muswell Hill. We ended up deciding on a veg option here; and it absolutely did not disappoint. I really enjoyed my veg shakshuka and my husband had a lovely sundried tomato and cheese sandwich. The side salad and fresh orange juice was also delicious and refreshing to have alongside our main meals. Price was a little on the expensive side, but I absolutely felt it was worth every penny. I’ve paid more at restaurants that aren’t even half as tasty as this one. Highly recommend!

My favourite cafe in Muswell Hill and I visit often. I love reading a book and enjoying their excellent coffee, tasty food and friendly atmosphere. Particularly recommend the carrot cake and the toasted sandwiches. Avocado eggs also excellent and not too expensive compared to other places.

A place we needed in Muswell Hill! Great food, fresh ingredients, great menu selection and cosy decor. The staff are attentive and friendly, the vibe is great and definitely worth a visit. I must again emphasise the quality of the food - outstanding! Decoration, flavour, portion size.. everything is great! Cannot recommend enough!

I tried beans and blues for the first time and it did not disappoint! Me and my daughter had the Medi Benedict, Turkish omelette and 2 delicious coffees between us and let me just say… it was scrumptious. I am lactose free so it helped to have substitute milk options :) Thank you, Beans and Blues.

I have been looking for a GOOD coffee place in Muswell Hill for a while. We have a lot of coffee shops, but nothing that tastes great. The coffee here is really nice, the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Plus, they have really great lunch deals for under £10. Will be coming back for my Sunday coffee! ☕️

Banging bagels. Especially the Ruben and the chicken one. They are a hit every time. Get napkins, it will get messy. They are the best bagels around here. Their coffee is great too, beautifully roasted and smooth. Go try them!

We absolutely loved this place. Amaaaaaaazing bagels, London’s best cappuccino and incredible service. We were attended by the lovely Alice who smiled throughout, gave us some great advice about what to do in the area and politely laughed at all my jokes. If we didn’t live abroad we’d be there for brunch everyday. Thank you Alice (and Will on the till). We’ll be back.

A very small cafe in the heart of Muswell Hill specialising in salt beef bagels. The bagels are fantastic and worthy of special mention alone. However, they also do a really nice coffee. Their flat white is the best in Muswell Hill, no question. They do have outside space, but it's standing room only inside, and they only serve in takeaway paper cups. Highly recommended, especially with a bit of sun, but it's got to the best takeaway coffee I have had in North London for many a year.

Just found the best pastry in London! The almond pistachio pain au chocolat is very impressive, super crispy and the sweetness is just right. The cortado is very good as well. We will be back to try everything!

La Dinette is the perfect cafe for those who want to take their kids to a Broadway cafe without worry of judgement from other diners. Very child friendly. Great staff too. An array of books and toys and activities for kids to do and a great coffee too. I only had eggs and sourdough soldiers, a freshly squeezed OJ and a flatwhite, but they were perfect. Plenty of highchairs and space for pushchairs too.

The best cafe in Muswell Hill. Everything about it is wonderful. The pastries are otherworldly, the salads pack unbelievable flavour, and coffee is amongst the finest in London. The owner, Claire, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. And the cafe also doubles as a shop, selling everything from cookbooks and chutneys, to kombucha and old Miles Davis records. I adore this place.

Best Vegan Breakfast ever . Sausage and tofu were too delicious. Very impressed with Vegan options on the menu. Not many cafes have that many Vegan options to choose from and vegan cakes. Seems they have changed some items on the menu but with inflation and changing attitudes towards vegan food. I believe they still have around 80% plant based items . Thank you for the lovely breakfast . Keep it up “ Time2chill”

I’ve been coming here since the cafe first opened - it was one of those fortunate rainy day discoveries. I now often bring my friends here as it’s a perfect place to catch up. The service is very friendly, the food is bespoke, and I love the coffee (it’s the proper stuff.) There’s an outdoor sheltered garden as well.

Beautiful vegan/vegetarian café with personable staff and a delightful coffee range. The options of faux-meat have moved on from the days of Quorn and it shows in things like the sausage rolls and bacon sarnies available here. Brunch, lunch, and sweet-treat options which all impressed even for a traditional meat eater. The only disappointing aspect is the slightly clunky name.

Exceptional French dining experience! Cozy atmosphere transported us to Paris. Our server Tom was attentive and knowledgeable. Highlights: Salade de Chèvre Chaud with perfectly grilled goat cheese, succulent Magret de Canard with orange sauce, crispy and flavorful Bar à la Peau Croustillante, tender Jarret d'Agneau Rôti in rich red wine jus, and a beautifully executed classic Tarte Tatin for dessert. Tom's wine pairing suggestions were spot-on. Every dish showcased authentic French cuisine at its finest. Highly recommend for any occasion - from romantic dates to special celebrations. A must-visit for food enthusiasts. We'll definitely return to explore more of the menu. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant!

We really enjoyed everything! The service (I think Sibel was our server) was really fantastic. We had the Côtes du Rhône to drink and it was very very drinkable and a good price. I liked that the menu had a good range of French classics and all that we ate was delicious. I had the crème brûlée for desert and it was the smoothest and creamiest one I’ve had in a while. My only complaint would be the very loud person on the table behind that couldn’t have gluten, lactose, and had a vegan husband. I feel a real authentic French restaurant would have demanded they leave and never return, but instead they seemed to deal with all their needs politely and respectfully.
