A coffee shop cum fancy cake shop in Finsbury Park.
What does it say of nitro cold brew coffee when have to add syrup?
What does it say when it needs a whole page ad in Caffeine to promote the ghastly stuff?
Matter of personal taste, come and visit us.
A trek on an awful jammed-in-like sardines Tube journey from Covent Garden, when I could have relaxed in Monmouth Coffee where guaranteed a decent coffee.
A pleasant job done on the interior, but sadly not coffee to match.
Stripped back bare brick walls out the back, at a guess a covered in yard. In many ways though a pity as no outside seating out the back.
Interesting art by David Bage on the walls, though only interesting because copies of original works, and it is difficult to see how an unknown artist can justify prices in excess of £200 for copies of originals. A bit like being stopped in Puerto de la Cruz by illegal immigrants and being asked for twenty euros for a fake Rolex (which they insist is the real thing).
A cappuccino ordered. Cappuccino with coffee dumped on top, immediately sent back.
What then came not a lot better.
No cookies. I ordered a chocolate brownie. It was not good. I asked was it vegan, as that often explains why not good. No.
Food looked decorative, though nothing to say what it was, or the price.
I asked to see the coffee they used.
Italian coffee, catering supply.
When are coffee shops going to learn? If you want to serve good coffee, source quality beans, employ a skilled barista. There is no excuse for importing rubbish coffee from Italy, when there are excellent coffee roasters in London.
Try The Deli at 60, far better coffee and cakes.
