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.

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!

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.

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.

First time coming to this cafe in London. We were visiting from France and needed a halal spot for brunch to taste the english breakfast. I had the english breakfast that i ended up sharing with my brother (the portions were very good, and came with a good portion of toast) and he had the lamb chop that the waitress requested the lamb chop to him and we were not disappointed!! She told us it was the special meal of the day and that it was very good and it was! The lamb was so soft and really well cooked, the gravy that came with it was so tasty and well seasoned. For someone that doesn’t like the meats in the english breakfast usually, here taste all of them and everything was so good and well cooked. My friend had the fluffy pancakes than came with eggs and meats, as well as a fresh smoothie, and a mocha for me. Everything was delicious. The waitress was so nice, even spoke to us in french if we didn’t understand some stuff, and explained the menu really well when we came in. The service was fast, and the food at a good price. The decor was really cute!! We will definitely come back i when we visit london again! Thank u so much!

Fantastic place to get a halal Sunday roast ( they serve everyday!) love how the roasted chicken was tender and juicy and generous amount of mashed potatoes and veggies with an affordable price. The server was very attentive and hospitable. She made our dine in feel at home. Overall highly recommend!

Lovely little cafe. Becoming our go-to when we're in the area. All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and happy to hope. Manu served us this weekend and was delightful. Great selection on the menu with so much to choose from. Everything I've had so far has been very tasty. Great flavours, well presented and freshly prepared. Tasty coffee too. Very appealing desserts that are hard to resist. Highly recommend - great to support an independent local business.

Greeted warmly upon arrival, staff were friendly and very accommodating. Explained the whole menu to us before we ordered, and short waiting time for the food. Tried Sunday Roast for the first time, and they did not disappoint! Food was really good, and the cafe’s ambiance is really nice.

Interesting place! Very close to Tufnell Park station on the northern line with a small terrace garden out back. The food was very nice, though my baguette could maybe have come with a side salad garnish, but just a thought. It was very tasty and I'd come again. The goats cheese salad also looked great.

I popped into this cute vegan spot for breakfast and had an awesome time. The "Rarebit" croissant was delicious—flaky, savoury, and full of flavour. The "Date with Destiny" smoothie was seriously good—creamy, sweet, and just the right balance of banana, tahini, and date. Rosie was really friendly and made the experience even better. Great spot for a tasty plant-based breakfast, and I’ll definitely be back!

Lovely vegan cafe under the bridge, perfect for trolls and vegans alike. The staff were all lovely and recommended to us their sweet & savory sandwiches. They were both pretty great but we particularly enjoyed their chimichurri bagel sandwich. Great latte and smoothie as well. They also sell many items such as their own branded tote bags & tea towels, books, and novelty maps of London. Generous selection of wine and snacks on sale as well! 🧌

Probably my favourite cafe in Kentish Town! The menu is fully vegan / vegetarian and they also sell vegan wines. It is must visit for the Vegan Welsh Rarebit Croissant! The service is great, it never gets too busy and there is outdoor seating which is covered by the bridge so still usable when it’s raining (as it usually does in London). The dream.

I recently visited Intrepid bakers and had a fantastic experience. The variety of baked goods offered is impressive, and everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. The pastries, especially the croissants , were perfectly flaky with just the right balance of sweetness. The atmosphere of the bakery is warm and inviting, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy a cup of coffee along with your treat.

One of my absolute favorite cafes in town! Their iced coffee is perfectly refreshing, and the freshly made pastries and sweets are simply irresistible. The owner adds a warm, personal touch that makes the experience even better. I also adore their other cafe in Hornsey, especially the cozy open area at the back—it’s the perfect spot to unwind, work on my laptop, or simply savor a delicious snack and drink. A must-visit for anyone who loves great coffee, food, and atmosphere!

Good coffee and atmosphere. Took my kids here this morning and they enjoyed the play area as well as the pancakes. My husband and I enjoyed our coffee (iced flat white and hot long black). Interior design is really lovely. The street is also great with many shops to visit. Service is overall warm although there were some points when we weren’t sure if we could approach someone or not (very minor). Will definitely recommend to others and go back :)

I was blown away by the quality of their flat white, probably one of the best I’ve ever tasted! The coffee had a perfect balance of bold flavour and smooth, creamy texture, with just the right amount of velvety foam on top. You can tell the baristas here really know their craft.

Cinnamon Village is a delightful spot that feels like a home away from home. Nestled in the heart of Kentish Town, this cozy café is run by some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Their warmth and genuine hospitality make every visit a pleasure. The menu is all about comforting, homely breakfast and brunch options that hit the spot every time. Whether you’re in the mood for classic favorites or something a little more indulgent, there’s something for everyone. The freshly squeezed juices are a must-try — refreshing and bursting with flavor, they’re the perfect complement to any meal. If you’re looking for a relaxed and welcoming place to start your day or unwind over brunch, Cinnamon Village is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Super cute and lovely neighbourhood cafe! The place is cozy and relaxed, the staff are also friendly. I have been hear many times for brunch and they have all been an absolute delight. Before coming here I was never a big fan of french toast but their version is so good!! It’s crispy and soft on the outside and soaks up the maple syrups really well. All the other dishes were good as well. The chicken tava was delicious, served with soft warm bread. Whilst their pastry with meat (sorry forgot the name) which is always served with hummus and salad is super delicious and cost less than £8!!

I thought I knew humous; I thought I made a decent humous but when it’s made with love, it just hits different. The mutabbal was something else and I could actually taste olive in the olive oil. The breakfast was very very filling as was the lamb kibbeh wrap and the people I went with CAN EAT! The menu is modest however they have a Friday supper club that I have not tried yet. The lady was very kind and even offered me a cake on the house when I said it was my birthday. I loved it!

Food is absolutely delicious, satisfying, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, paired with excellent customer service that makes you feel like a welcomed guest in someone's home. They also offer a variety of Palestinian products for purchase and have a dedicated events space for talks and gatherings. Don't miss their Vegan Nights on Thursdays, the plant-based options are fab.

A group of us Cypriots came here to have a catch up meet up and it was great! The portions are small and the prices are expensive but proceeds do go to Palestine relief so it's worth it. I genuinely recommend the pastries, especially the spinach one, it was so nice and lemony!! Lovely shop there too. 10000/10. PS: the baklava was actually so nice and not dry at all. They also have vegan options!

This is a very special place to visit and we will be very sure to return. Extensive menu's (we were in on a Sunday where there was a second one). Authentic Palestinian food all prepared by a very kind Palestinian lady. Everything seemed very good value, and it was lovely to go to a different suburb of London. In addition all the lovely Palestinian items to purchase, books, bags, pictures, purses, food items and so much more. Restaurant is cosy and was packed. If I returned on a Sunday I might book a table in advance. A lovely place to be to show solidarty with Palestine 🇵🇸

I have been coming to this bakery on a biweekly basis for more than a year now as a treat for myself! All of the pastries are delicious and carefully crafted! Our usual go to is the pain au chocolat, almond croissant and the almond pain au chocolat since we have a sweet tooth! We have also tried the ice cream which is also delicious! I would definitely recommend the almond pain au chocolat since it’s a combination of my two favourites. It is also weighty and will fill me up for the next couple of hours! For the savoury people, I definitely recommend the mustard sausage croissant for breakfast.

The quality is superb, everything tastes great. The size of the sausage roll has shrunk so much though, please look into this as it used to be a great option for lunch. Not sure if you have had similar feedback? But regardless 5 stars for the lovely bread/pastries and the lovely people who work there.
