   I recommended my partner and his mother eat here while I finished an errand in town before meeting them there to go for a walk. When I arrived, they were just about to finish their meals and drinks in a matter of five minutes, during this time I sat with them, and heard them complimenting the food, which is indeed of a good quality. While we were in conversation, the waiter, who had clearly been instructed by his managers, approached us with considerably discomfort and intereuppted our conversation to say that I could not sit there if I did not order food and drink and should leave, despite my two guests being nearly done with their meals and being paying guests; I did not use their WiFi, drink their water, or even request a tissue, having taken nothing from them; to the contrary I had given cause for them to receive profit from paying guests, it made the remainder of their meal an awkward and uncomfortable experience. It seems an odd and unprofessional approach from an otherwise good quality cafe, it also seems at odds with normal cafe culture where such a dynamic as someone waiting less than five minutes for paying guests to finish their meals is not even noticed. I won’t be recommending in the future.

   This is a brilliant local place. East Finchley regulars will he well aware of it but if you are new to the area and are not sure which cafe to go to/try first then this is the one. Great food. Great salad boxes, great baked goods. Coffee, smoothies juices etc are all fantastic. Update: Cheeky shout out to La Gourmandise on the High Road in East Finchley. Most people know there are a great place for good food and baked goods but we’ve had a few cakes from them too. Out son’s first birthday cake being the most recent and every time they’ve been fantastic. Really tasty, well presented and very reasonably priced. Good local business to consider!

   Had a vegetarian breakfast at the café and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! The presentation, taste, and service were all perfect. Everything was freshly prepared, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We’ll definitely be visiting again and recommending this place to others!

   Lovely restaurants, the cook, waitress,imane and Hajni are the best server and cook one will only wish for. Excellent food, clean restaurant, good service, and respectful. , The best grill chicken in sauce with just right pepper seasoning thigh ever tasted in a long while with butter nut squash grilled on top of pomegranate topped on top finish with Waldorf salad with lemon/lime olive oil dressing. I had a great experience and have booked to bring all my family and friends here for Christmas Lunch and dinner for the whole festive season. I recommend it. Thanks so much La Gourmandise restaurant For your service. Can’t wait to visit you soon.

   This cafe is truly a five-star gem! The staff here are simply lovely—so incredibly attentive and kind. They always go the extra mile to make my little daughter's day, which means the world to me. Beyond the incredible warmth, the team is also super effective and quick at delivering coffee in the morning when everyone is in a rush. They handle the busiest times with grace and efficiency. And, of course, the food and cakes are absolutely delicious!

   Stopped for breakfast today, not normally someone who leaves a review but the food was so delicious I just had too. Best breakfast I've had for years! Only downside was I wasn't hungry enough to try all the other food on display which also looked amazing.

   This place was a great find. Really enjoyed the selection of salads they had on offer. I had the vegetarian lasagne and it didn’t disappoint. These guys would beat your so called instagramable brunch places. I hope I have the opportunity to come back again to try out other things on their menu. The shakshuka and eggs Benedict look like a real winner.

   My favourite cafe in East Finchley! The staff are always so friendly and accommodating especially helping me get in and out with a pram. Lovely selection of cakes and pastries (my fave is the almond croissant) plus great brekkie options. Highly recommend!
