This small, cozy cafe on the corner is great. It’s quiet and has a stylish ambiance. The staff are friendly and they make an amazing chai latte. Definitely worth a visit.

Super friendly owner with his son. It was our first time in this neighbourhood, and he made us feel very welcome. Also, really delicious coffee of good quality and tasty sweets. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in London!

Nice atmosphere, very cozy and calm. Great coffee and very friendly barista. Would be great if I could buy coffee next time for my espresso machine too, just to enjoy at home sometimes. Thank you!

Superb coffee and delicious bagel. Excuse the image, it was served in a far better way than that! This was mid eating!

Finding an electrician in Islington that shows up for quoting on our lighting, wiring, and safety checks in a listed building is a god-send. We're all booked up, and will update with photos on progress.

My Dad's flat in Islington had a few tricky electrical issues that other electricians quoted us way over price. Thankfully, I found these guys. Great electricians. Fast, friendly and fair. Great service. Very happy with them!

Decent batch filter and a nice selection of pastries, cookies, etc. Open nice and early, light and airy but with a comforting glow, just what you need with your morning coffee :) If evening's your thing then they have wine too. Perfect for Upper St.

Upping this to 5* after a year since it has really found its pace as a distinctive destination. Coffee remains excellent, and the pastry/sandwich range has improved - with a twist (eg miso and matcha in the cookies, spicy salami in the sandwiches and even small kouign-amann for a lighter take on Breton pastries. Here’s the previous review which still stands, just dialled up! Good coffee from, nice ambience and the coffee/wine/cake combo is quite endearing. Pace is just a little laid-back and disengaged, and it suffers somewhat by comparison with its neighbour. The ‘no laptops’ policy is quite refreshing, even if it’s not contextualised. The layout would soon be cluttered with three homeworkers on a video call, so full marks for making this a more contained experience. Just misses out on that destination/hideaway feel, but could grow into it.

You’d think it was a given when on Upper Street, with the plethora of coffee/bakery shops, that you could get a decent espresso shot… alas no. Too many over-extracted; bitter market blends, only suitable when camouflaged with a gallon of whatever (faux) milk ‘tickles your fancy’, or pumpkin spice - if you must (tiz the season). Fortuitously, whilst having a Monday mooch, I happened upon HG and their wonderful world of speciality roasts & blends. With Simon & Ink (two of the most beautiful people you could ever want to meet), and the rest of the amazing HG team, I have found myself a little oasis, and have been ‘smitten’ ever since. Forno supplies some irresistible Italian pastificio, Simon & Co. make tasty ‘award winning’ sandwiches, and Oksana has curated an amazing selection of wine & grower champagne, if you fancy something a little stronger. With the dulcet tones of Sabrina Carpenter singing “Espresso" in the background creating a cool; chilled, relaxed vibe, in this meticulously put together shop. What more could you want..? Free parking out front? ✅ Wine bar Friday & Saturday nights? ✅ Boom! Love it. Love it. Love it! 🥰

Came in the evening, so walked into a wine bar rather than a coffee shop. Came for a glass of wine, and stayed for a few. Staff were very friendly and helpful, picking some really great wines for us to try. I got some crab toast that was absolutely gorgeous, honestly the perfect snack. A super nice, small wine bar for a quiet drink.

A cute cafe that has 2 floors (come in deeper and you can find the stairs that lead you downstairs). I loved their cute latte art🫶🏻 the miso cookie was nice too!

Such incredible cuisine 🌟 Profound flavours and luscious textures. I hadn’t tried Ethiopian food before and I’ve been MISSING OUT 🔥 Light yet complex, fresh with heat and spice - the stews are gorgeous and you scoop them up with my new favourite thing: injera - the flexible, light, sourdough pancake. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the prices are so reasonable. Get involved 💃🏻

Today was my first time visiting Mesi's kitchen . I love ethiopian cuisine. I came her with for a early mother's day treat. The restuarant environment is warm and welcoming. I have awaze tibs and my mum had doro Tibs I also had tried the beers here too habesha and st George. It was very nice refreshing.

Fantastic flavours, very clean restaurant and welcoming staff. Having tried several Ethiopian places in London, this is the most consistent for both vegan and meat dishes. Service is not added to the bill but bring cash if you want to tip.

Usually inviting tradesmen into the home is a stressful and traumatic experience. Amy and her team are just the opposite. They’re lightning fast, work super hard, and are extremely professional and polite. Just a joy to have around. Amy is very clear with her pricing, no surprise costs. They’re really respectful and careful of your home—shoes off, no touching of freshly painted walls, tidied up after themselves, vacuumed etc. They really know their stuff, I’ll be recommending to anyone who asks if I know an electrician!

Fabulous electricians - great problem solvers and their work is first rate. Worked hard all day and left the room clean and tidy at the end (including putting floorboards back into place after having had to lift them). We have used their services before and recommended them to friends who were equally delighted. They are our “go to” electricians!

Really lovely experience dealing with Andrew , the installation was quick and efficient. We got the boiler in 2 days later after the one we had broke . Usually you would have to wait at least 7-14 days for a new boiler to be delivered. He even repainted for us ! Will definitely be using him again for anything we need and would highly recommend him to other people Thanks so much Andrew !!

I'm incredibly impressed by the speed and quality of work. I called in the evening asking to fix my electric heaters and Andrew was happy to fix them early in the morning the next day. Its a very trustworthy person, I left the key with him, and when he finished he was happy to drop it off at my work place. Andrew takes time to make sure everything is done properly. Very highly recommended. Brilliant service!!!

I cannot recommend this service highly enough. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I had no water Saturday morning, and arranged a visit with Andre for Sunday in the 12-5 appointment window. I had a restaurant booking for 2pm Sunday I had forgotten about and when I called Andre to see if he can please come closer to 5 so I wouldn’t miss my outing, he went above and beyond for me!! He arrived within a few hours (late on a Saturday night,) checked my boiler out, and came back this (Sunday) morning at 8am with my new boiler. and a helping hand to have it installed. I write this with a new boiler installed about 24 hours after reporting the problem, on my way to my booking with no problems. Never has something that felt like a crisis gone so smoothly. Thank you SO much Andre!!!! He was also careful and considerate with my very curious cat and I really appreciate that as well. A friendly guy who does a great job. I will absolutely be recommending this service to anyone I can, and hope this review has helped you decide this is definitely the right company to call. 🤝

Outstanding service from Andrei and colleagues who installed a Joule unvented cylinder for me recently at very short notice. Very professional and skilled work carried out with real care and attention. Andrei also did some extra light installations. Highly recommend Andrei - nothing is too much trouble!

Protect this man at all costs! He is the kindest, most welcoming cafe owner, who from the moment we walked in, made us feel like we were simply old friends catching up. Walking in, you feel like you're taking a step back in time to simpler days. While every cafe these days feels like it's trying to be a minimalist, scandinavian box, here you're transported to an inviting haven more akin to an extension of ones home in a quaint European village. The coffee is genuinely good, the food is so fresh and the assortment of vegetables you get with the salads and vegetarian eggs is astonishing! Before leaving, we told him we were going bouldering and he even insisted we take some of his fresh ciabata and clementines for refueling. I repeat... protect this man at all costs. So looking forward to coming back!

Absolutely delightful experience at Fig Tree Café! After our Saturday run, my friend and I decided to grab breakfast, and we were pleasantly surprised. The avocado toast with salad was not only delicious but also fresh and beautifully presented. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm of the place, making it the perfect spot for a post-workout meal. Moreover, the owner's warmth and friendliness truly made us feel welcome. The unexpected gesture of gifting a fig and a clementine upon departure was a lovely touch that left a lasting impression. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and exceptional hospitality!

This was the best find we had in London! The owner is a charming character who infuses love into his food. He is a true artisan and his bread was likely the best I’ve had! We found a way to come back a second time right before flight home just to see him and eat this delicious food! I recommend everything about this cafe!

Patrick provided me with amazing service! I had an emergency outage in my flat, he came out that night instead of going home. He helped me get partial power back on, then returned to diagnose and resolve the issue. He was extremely professional, thorough, and gave exceptional service!

I was so pleased that I went with House Rescue for my solar install. The planning and communication was great and made complete sense, the instal itself was remarkably quick and smooth, Jack hand his team were professional, punctual and very hard working. The handover documents were complete and detailed. Overall an incredibly well organised, efficient and stress free job. I am actually looking forward to having Jack back to install the EV chargers!

I moved in to a house with an existing solar installation. Unfortunately, the installers had decided to focus entirely on commercial installations so were not interested in helping me to get control of the system I’d taken over. I got in touch with a number of companies looking for help. House Rescue were superb – quick replies, excellent advice and friendly service. If I needed to have a new system installed or my existing system serviced, these are the guys I’d go to.

Excellent service, yet again. The extraction fan in our bathroom had stopped working then a wall heater did the same thing. Appointment made promptly, electrician turned up on the dot, the price was very reasonable and the job was done to a high standard. The fan was replaced and the heater fault fixed. Frankly it is such a relief to have found this company. Though I’d rather not have anything go wrong with our electrics obviously at least I know that if they do I have a completely trustworthy source for repairs. Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend highly enough - our experience with House Rescue Electrical was brilliant from consultation to installation. The work required was a full rip and replace of the outdoor and garden lights which the team delivered with stunning results. Communication was excellent and we are thrilled with the smart home compatibility. Thank you Jack and team!
