My Kind of Coffee in Crouch End

So merry christmas and a happy new year! Myself and Rachel have been very lazy with this blog over christmas, its not because we haven't been baking and brunching our faces off festive style, which of course we have, but it is always a busy time! Over christmas i made mince pies but sadly didn't have time for much else! However a week before Christmas (and before tree buying and present wrapping panic set in) me and Chris visited this little place in crouch end for a late sunday brunch.

I suppose i didn't rush to review this place on here because in all honesty it wasn't something to go shouting off the rooftops of north london about, but after a few weeks of constant turkey, ham, carbs, alcohol, choccies and more carbs this calm and simple place with its light eggs benedict is actually sounding quite refreshing right about now!
Me and Chris both had the same- just simple eggs benedict with ham, it came with a simple side salad and the hollandaise was nice but not the most amazing i've had.
We washed it down with good quality coffee served in small glasses (coffee always tastes better like this, non? its like the age old coke and ketchup in glass or plastic argument) i personally prefer a latte in small glass rather than a mug, especially when its good strong coffee and the milk is done just right. Again the coffee wasn't anything to shout about, although looking back i recall buying another to take away with me whilst we walked round the shops. So i guess at the time it was pretty good!
I feel slightly bad saying this as they state on their twitter that coffee is the main game for this local roasters.

The interior was pretty cool- comfy union jack chairs, simple white walls, cakes and an interesting range of flavoured teas and bags of coffee displayed in the window. Not sure why the sign outside is a very-easy-to-walk-past brown colour but theres not an inch of bunting, cupcakes or cath kitdson in sight so if those types of places give you a headache escape here.
Oh and no one ran over my foot with a pram. Get in.

Best for: brunch if your go to crouch end fave is full, good quality coffee
Best day: afternoons when its less busy
