An absolute gem of a place, really delightful little caf which doubles up as a small, informal library. The tea was perfect, the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel just right and the staff very friendly. There's even a tiny terrace at the back. A real find, I just happened to walk past it. It's slightly off the beaten path, which probably increases the charm. Good pit stop for anyone walking/cycling along Regent's Canal, it's about 5 mins walk from the nearest exit.

Stumbled across this neighborhood gem by accident. Beautiful little pocket of a cafe. That once you enter, you realize isnt that little at all! Plenty of indoor seating.. and outdoor terrace with tables too So cool to see stacks and stacks of books everywhere. Free for anyone to check out while hanging out here Got the scrambled eggs with pesto, Parmesan, feta, avo and sourdough And the half vege brekkie with halloumi, hashbrown, veggie sausage, scrambled eggs, beans, spinach, mushroom and toast Fairly priced, especially for Islington. Value for dollar. And quality ingredients Warm cozy vibes. Kind beautiful people. Great feel good music playing. Hope to be back!
