There is a wide range of organic Mediterranean spreads & sandwich fillers that all look yummy. They also do hand-made pastries/ biscuits and have a vast range of condiments. The organic scrambled eggs with toast is my fav. The eggs are so light and fluffy, and water in your mouth. Compliment this egg brunch with a nice cup of organic filter coffee. They have a nice quiet outside seating area which can cater for about 12-15 people which has a roll out shelter for when it is raining. You can also smoke outside at the tables, which is always a plus for those smokers. I The staff are very friendly and cater to your every need. They give a great service with a smile, so If your in the area, have a try for yourself - You won't be disappointed. I wasn't!

The table of olives in the window was the thing that tempted me into Mimosa Deli. But it was the…read morefresh salad bar and smell of falafels and houmous that kept me there. Mimosa is a takeaway and eat in deli specialising in Mediterranean foods, with a fantastic array of chocolates, biscuits, cheese and spreads.

It's made by a little chap (or chapess, I can't tell) called Nicko who is now playing a major roll in my life. I came here for an afternoon coffee and walked out with a life changing slice of cake. You heard me, life changing! They have normal brownies and then extra dark brownies with loads more chocolate in them and whole roasted hazelnuts. The Squirrel and the chocolate lover in me is now complete. I have to move house before I put on any more weight.

OH TINA! You have saved me…read more I am in the midst of moving house. This involves: no WiFi at home, and massive amounts of trawling up and down and around Dalston to source wonderful items of household joy such as toilet brushes, bins and doormats. Rest assured, i am generally not having fun. However, prompted by the same sign that Mei L. saw, I popped by for a coffee and a quick snark of their internets. I've been here for 2 hours, had three (very, very good) lattes and watched their current exhibiting artist painting his mural on the stark white interior of the cafe. It's looking good to say the least, and the outlook for the afternoon is considerably improved. The people running this little oasis are super friendly, and seem to have endless conversation, which is good in an area when anything vaguely stylish seems to be overrun by those with their finger so on the pulse that maybe their own hearts have stopped beating. Tina is peeking around the corner with a cheeky look on her face, as some Rai oozes out of the stereo. I'm eyeing up their serrano ham sandwich and most certainly will have one of their brownies. Oh, they've changed their tunes to Joni Mitchell now. Hmph. I would also play some scrabble with someone, but i'm sat next to a 5 year old with a serious addiction to hot chocolate. It might get messy. Mei - when you're next about I challenge you to a connect 4 duel! The only drawback to this ace place is that coming with laptop means that you're restricted to sitting inside, and it sure is sweaty in here... which has sadly stripped one star off my review. I still salute you though Tina.

Their bacon rolls and avocado on toasts are great, but my regular is the smoked cream corn which is always incredible. Topped off with amazing coffee, this place is always a winner for me. Who knew such a little kitchen in the middle of a green could be so good? They've recently opened up a new branch a few miles away which shows how successful this place has been.

My usual routine brings me to Belle Epoque for one of their Chicken & Avocado baguettes. It is a thing of beauty - the bread is so fresh and the mustard gives it a little kick. In the time it takes to knock up my usual hangover cure, I peruse the great array of French foodie products the cafe has to offer. Magnifique. They are well on their way to becoming a Newington Green institution.

Belle Epoque Patisserie in Newington Green is a local delight. I often pop down on weekends to…read morepick up an array of croissants, cakes, or breads. The varieties of croissants are always a bit warm, flaky and delicious, just as croissants should be. My favourite is the almond croissant which is dusted in with powdered sugar and perfect with coffee. To avoid disappointment on the weekend, skip sleeping in or you'll miss out, the almond croissants always seem to sell out the fastest. Belle is a proper French cafe because in addition to having a variety of breads and croissants, they serve a diverse menu. If you are in a rush you can quickly grad a sandwich, mini pizza or salad for take away. If time permits, you can sit at one of the indoor or outdoor tables and take in a full meal. The cafe is full of dark hard wood floors and tables giving a warm feel. In addition the shelves are filled with numerous items for purchase. The goat cheese and spinach quiche, if eaten in, is served with a non-traditional salad. The salad I enjoyed had cubed beets, tomato, cucumber, snow peas and pear coleslaw. The salad was light, delicious and fresh! In my processed world, a fresh salad is a welcome joy. The quiche was equally wonderful. The blend of flavours made me saviour each bit and the perfectly golden crust added just the right contrast in texture. I love coming to Belle Epoque! It's perfect for the morning if you just want a fresh croissant and fresh squeezed orange juice and equally perfect for the afternoon for a cappuccino and pastry or lunch.

Great cozy brunch spot near Finsbury Park!…read more Banana and nutella pancakes (13.90 GBP) - They were definitely generous with the nutella, so how could it not be good! It did feel a bit more like a dessert than an actual brunch meal though (but I enjoyed it nonetheless). Colombian eggs (12.90 + 2.50 GBP for chorizo) - This is sort of like an avocado toast, with avocado, eggs, some greens, and (optional) chorizo on top of sourdough toast. The toast was slightly tough around the edges but this was a tasty dish. The chorizo definitely brought it to another level, although it was an extra charge. Strawberry rhubarb milkshake (6.50 GBP) - Delicious with a great consistency (slightly on the thicker side), although I didn't taste much rhubarb flavor (mostly just strawberry). The place is slightly on the small side with cozy cafe kind of vibes. We were able to snag one of the last available tables for weekend brunch without a wait. The staff are friendly and very attentive. The service speed is quick. Overall, Sage Kitchen is a great choice for brunch with a variety of tasty menu options.

The menu offers yummy brunch foods like the Croque Madame made with prosciutto, cheese, and a fried egg on top of organic sourdough bread; French Toast made with yoghurt and berries; omelettes, eggy bread, avocado toast, and lighter version of their egg dishes. They also have take-away options like wraps and sandwiches, as well as sweet and hearty pastries to go with their great coffee. Might I suggest their Latte Machiato with Coconut Milk? It's amazeballs. If all that sounds too heavy for you, they're also cranking out power-packed smoothies and juices with supercharged add-ons like hemp protein, spirulina, and baobab. You can even build your own smoothie. My favorite concoction is a mixture of almond or coconut milk, banana, a shot of coffee, cashew nuts, hemp protein, and baobab, which is a nutty root high in Vitamin C and calcium. Heck you can add peanut butter to it and be good for the day. It's quiet, local, perfect for getting a bit of work done, and enjoying a healthy meal. Certainly better than the alternatives.
