Hey, I am a simple gal (in some ways)- the pasties at West Cornwall Pasty Company MAY be one of my…read morefavorite all time foods. I try to eat AS MANY as I can on every trip to England. This became a problem when I was living there for an extended time period. Let me explain what a pasty is for those that don't know- its like the most exquisite fluffy yet dense dough pocket, with heavenly savory fillings. It is portable, so you can carry this feast with you, as you shop or jump on the train / tube. My English cousin keeps telling me that the lamb and mint pasty is the best, but I am completely hung up on the pork and apple. I was CRUSHED on my last trip to the UK a month ago that the King's Cross West Cornwall stand was no more- it was perfect after a long day in London, before I had to commute the 45 minutes back to Hitchin (the town where I was living) or after a night of painting the town red. Oh, pasty, pasty, pasty. Oh, did I mention, West Cornwall's mascot is a pirate? It really does not get any better.

Veggies fret not - there are plenty of veggie options here too. The West Cornwall Pasty Company pride themselves on that homemade taste to all of their products. How can you resist the smell as you walk past this little pasty haven? They are open until midnight mostly so I've often found this is a slightly better drunken alternative to a big bag of greasy chips. For the veggies out there, try their cheese and onion pasties. My boyfriend swears by their sausage rolls...

The jacket potato was obviously cooked in a microwave because the skin was soft and rubbery instead of crisp and tasty as it always was in the past. The crispy bacon bits have gone replaced by a slice of flabby microwaved bacon. Stewart's traditional leaf tea unique to Chelmsford has been replaced with the usual tea bags. We reserved a table as we always do only to find we were placed at tabled jammed up against a wall one of my friends was so close to the next table that she hardly had space to sit down and an ather friend was so close to the wall she had to sit with her legs one each side of the table leg, not very comfortable. If you come without booking then you expect to take pot luck but not if you have booked in advance. One of my friends decided to try american pancakes (new on the menu) in an american cafe/dinner they would be served freshly cooked from the griddle not out of a supermarket packet heated up in the microwave. The revampted Stewart's is certainly getting full use from their microwave. The coffee pot leaked so badly we used all our napkins to mop up the table. Next month it will be 'Cherry On Top' and from now on. What a pity.

I have long debated whether I should give this new café in Crouch End four or only three…read morestars...for now I have settled on three stars. Please let me elaborate my reasoning here: Having walked by this new place a few weeks ago, I was thrilled to see an independent coffee shop opening here. The mental note "to come back" was quickly made and yesterday I finally managed to return and try out their coffee... Let me say: I really like what they've done to this place. In fact, decor-wise I would give this place five stars; I especially like their wallpaper with the colourfully birds painted on it (see picture). Also, they have a cute little area in the back where a small group of people can have a lovely chat. So, where did they lose the stars? -Well, given that the decor was all tailored to make me feel at home, I didn't feel like it...and that has mostly to do with the fact, that the staff just wasn't very "warm". Don't get me wrong, nobody was unfriendly, but they were just very reserved...no smile, no "how are you doing?". And I just need that... Also, another reason, why they lost yet another star, was that they don't have free wifi. In fact, when I first saw this place I thought I might have found a good substitute to Starbucks...which I only frequent because they offer wifi at no cost, but... Nevertheless, I am willing to come back in due time and have yet another coffee, as this was actually quite delicious!

So after nearly 2 months of life in N8, numerous lattes and loaves of artisan bread later, I am…read moreready to give my award for the best cafe in crouch end to, coffee circus. I expect the reason is less to do with the coffee it serves and more due to the fantastic atmosphere inside. Think cosy unique decor, excellent brunch menu, charming baristas (it is like being on holiday in the med) and customers reading books instead of glued to their Smartphone's. Firstly the menu, like everyone else in there I went for the eggs Benedict with salmon which were divine. Eggs cooked to perfection on a beautiful English muffin and excellent quality salmon. If eggs aren't your thing they serve salads, sandwiches, soups and for comfort food at its best go for the amazing chunky French toast oozing with syrup. As others have noted this place is serious about the coffee so much so that customers were queuing out the door for it. If like myself your coffee palette is less refined, yes you can tell the difference between espresso and Nescafe but any further and you are out of your depth ,the staff are very helpful in giving recommendations of what to try. My mocha had a really deep, smooth flavour and definitely preferred it to any of the chain coffee shop equivalent. The food menu is just the type of thing you would want from a cafe of this size, think filled croissants. Eggs Benedict cooked to perfection and delicious thick cut French toast oozing with syrup. So if you are looking for friendly staff serving great food and coffee, in a charming environment, then coffee circus is worth the trip. Like the other yelpers I did miss the free wifi, but I don't think coffee circus would have the same charm if everyone was working away on their MacBoooks!
