I literally thought they gave me half a bagel before I opened the bag! And was charged 3 pounds for the pleasure!! I'm guessing times are pretty rough as their deli display is very lean. Makes me question the freshness of ingredients. Anyway I'll think twice about coming here again, unfortunately.

Go for a coffee or the lovely bagels, my fav is tuna and mayo, you will love them and not forgetting the banter with the lovely ladies. The bagels are soft, stuffed with your fav filling and cheaper than a bag of chips from across the road (well not entirely but you get what I mean). Happy days. If you're here in the area for a festival, show or an event make sure you a grab a quick bite to eat from here.

Great coffee has come to Streatham!…read more Having lived in Streatham Hill for three years, I was delighted to stroll past the interesting looking Brooks&Gao. With its industrial look and simple menu, the small eatery looks like it would be more at home in a Hoxton street than Streatham High Road! I was delighted to first sample their coffee - a robust and strong tasting latte with some impressive coffee art to boot. I have been back on numerous occasions, taking various people along with me to sample "the best sandwiches in Streatham." One particular favourite of mine is the rare roast beef focaccia with a horseradish Mayo. The breakfasts are slightly on the expensive side and I've had a few raised eyebrows from companions at the cost of the eggs and asparagus dish - around £8. There is an amazing selection of sweet treats and it's different every time you go in. A particular favourite was the cinnamon swirl pastry which was probably the BEST cinnamon swirl I've ever eaten. Hat's off to that. Both Brooks and Gao and their small team of friendly faces are very efficient and helpful. It's always a pleasure to visit!

Everything was pretty decent, must get the late!!! That was my favorite thing there.The breakfast…read moresandwich was very creamy and cheesey: I had there two fried eggs and chorizo and it was not my favorite. I'm not use to dark eggs so it was off putting for me but they tasted fine. The chorizo was really Smokey and I'm not a big Smokey fan so if that's your cup of tea then this is your spot. Staff was super nice and the place was trendy and had great atmosphere. They also have free fast WiFi!

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!

The atmosphere is really nice and there's plenty of seatings - big community tables, small tables and high-tables that allow you to look out of the window. I didn't pay much attention to the food selection, but there was quite a nice array of different beverages - cold and warm alike. The only downside for me was that it was packed with Mommies and their screaming kids...but I just plugged in my earphones and tuned out the whining noises. Try it out, it's for sure refreshingly different from the nearby Cafe Rouge...

Lovely place. Stumbled upon it on the way to Westfield at Sheppards bush. Atmosphere is very cozy…read more You find yourself feeling right at home on the wooden tables/benches. The pastries and freshly baked goods are spread all over the counter in neat arrangements. Most of the cakes are displayed at the window and really make passerbyers salivate. The place is also family friendly with a change table across the toilet and toys around the eating area. On my first visit, I had one of the best hot chocolate I've ever had. The eggs benedict was a decent portion size and satisfying on a cold winter day. The day right after I couldn't help but go there again and had a generously filled smoked salmon crepe filled with cream cheese. Definitely will make this a local fav of mine!

But now Laveli is nearer and has nicer pastries, and coffee that's just as good.

Fickle, greedy bastards who prefer a short walk to a friendly smile. It's bright and open and clean - and although they weren't able to sustain their initial impressive deli-style quality aspirations, the food and drink has always been decent salad and breakfast cafe fare.
