Coffee Circus - London

I’ve been coming to this place for years, at least since 2013. First with friends, now with my kids for babychinos in the morning before dropping them to school. Aside from the coffee, which is always excellent, the guys who work here are fantastic people. Really welcoming, cool, just good energy all round with good music playing in the background. I’ve seen plenty of staff come and go over the years, but it’s clear the person who runs this place pays attention to the vibe. Because coffee, at the end of the day, is never just about coffee. It’s about experience and human contact. And here you get that.

Such a lovely cafe to visit, the atmosphere was calming and warm and welcoming at the same time. You can really switch off and focus on whatever you're doing away from the hustle and bustle outside. It has lots of cosy spots and nooks to grab a seat in. Food was great and really good value - desserts looked lovely but I was too full to try. Can't wait to visit again. Lovely spot to read the paper or do admin - but make sure you give them business and buy something!

Lovely cafe with a chill vibe and good coffee. I enjoyed my cortado, and the space itself is charming, though the entrance is quite tight and a little awkward to navigate if there are multiple people trying to order.

One thing to note: there’s a policy allowing only 1 hour of laptop use on weekdays, which is posted at the counter and was also reiterated by staff when my drink was brought over. While I completely understand the reasoning behind this rule, I was surprised by it, as it hadn’t been mentioned in any of the reviews I read beforehand.

Unfortunately, when my hour was up, the cafe was mostly empty. I would have happily stayed longer, ordered more, and enjoyed the space—but instead, I went elsewhere. Just something to keep in mind if you’re planning to get some work done or stay a while.

I ordered a cappuccino, brownie and chai latte with oat milk. The shop was super busy and drinks took a while to come. The coffee was tasty but the brownie was a let down - it tasted stale and old as if it has been there longer than 2 days. Service was slow, with so many coffee shops in Crouch End to choose from this wouldn’t be my first choice.

This used to be my favourite coffee shop in Crouch. So many more have opened up and I have not been here for a while. It seems to change hands quite often too and one set of owners I did not find sympathetic.
The staff today were very friendly and helpful. Coffee was good. I also had an Almond Croissant which was not the best ever, a bit dry but as it was late in the day perhaps that was the problem.
I though the prices were very reasonable especially for Crouch End. I was quite pleased to get a coffee and a croissant for under a fiver!
The decor of the front half of the cafe is very pleasant but the rear could do with a refresh!

I love this place so much, they’re so friendly and they make the best coffee. Also the food is really good - I definitely recommend!

A local coffee shop with a great selection of coffee—highly recommend! Excellent service, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere."

The coffee was amazing as well as the atmosphere! My cake, however, was slightly dry. In fact very dry but the other times I’ve been here the cake was nice! There was also an awkward, slightly rude encounter with one of the waiters but the rest of the staff were very friendly!
