However you take your coffee, we’ve got you covered.

From silky flat whites and classic Americanos to refreshing iced lattes, cold brew and filter coffee, every cup starts with beans from our friends .

Great coffee is at the heart of what we do, whether you’re grabbing one to go or settling in for a long brunch. ☕️

Add a freshly squeezed juice or smoothie, settle into the café (or our pergola out back) and ease into your morning.

We’ve always loved being a walk-ins café, and that’s not changing.

But we know there are times when it’s nice to know your table is waiting for you – whether you’re meeting friends, celebrating something special or simply want to avoid a wait.

That’s why we’ve introduced reservations for a selection of our tables, while keeping plenty available for walk-ins too.

Book via the link in our bio, the bookings button on our website or through Google Reserve.

One of the questions we’ve been asked most over the years is, “Can we book a table?”

From today, the answer is yes.

We’re now taking reservations for a selection of our tables, while keeping plenty available for walk-ins too. Whether you like to plan ahead or prefer to drop by on the day, we’ve got you covered.

You can book via the link in our bio, the bookings button on our website or through Google Reserve. Bookings open from 13 July.

We can’t wait to welcome you. ☕️🌿

Tucked away behind the café is our plant-filled pergola and terrace – a little pocket of calm in North London.

Whether you’re catching up with friends over brunch or enjoying a quiet coffee, it’s the perfect place to settle in for a while.

If you haven’t discovered it yet, we think you’re going to love it. 🌿☕️

Some brunches deserve a sweet ending (or beginning).

Our Banana Bread Pudding layers grilled banana bread with caramelised banana, silky miso caramel and whipped coconut cream. Rich, comforting and made for slow brunches.

Available every day. 🍌✨

The back terrace has come into its own lately.

Sunlight, coffee, long brunches, plenty of plants and one of the nicest spots in Stroud Green to lose a couple of hours.

The summer drinks situation is looking strong.

House Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade, Mango Cooler and our Mood Booster — a fiery house-made ginger switchel with soda.

Cold, sharp, refreshing and very easy to drink in the sun.
