    The Place is a fantastic local coffee shop with a cozy, neighborhood feel. The staff is incredibly friendly and always makes sure you are completely satisfied. The coffee is outstanding, easily surpassing that of big chain stores like Starbucks. Situated on a side road off the main road, this hidden gem is a must-visit for coffee lovers. I was also impressed to see many locals and their furry companions frequenting the shop. I'll definitely be returning to The Place next time I'm in the area

    Such a great little coffee shop. The coffee is always top notch, as are the pastries (honourable mentions to the banana bread and ham & cheese croissants). The atmosphere is always very calm and welcoming.

    Nice friendly cafe, good coffee. Only downside is the toilet as down stairs.

    Very cute little place in a beautiful terrace. The food is well-priced and very tasty, although don’t leave it to the last minute as they run out as the day goes on! Sitting outdoors on the quiet road in summer is idyllic.

    Coffee is pretty good and what there was for breakfast was decent, however I'm not sure you can legitimately say "brunch served all day" if there are no eggs available! Also place could do with a little facelift or go all-in with the shabby chic

    I’ve been there a couple of times. Staff is unfriendly, coffee is average.

    Quite expensive, and the service wasn't particularly fast. Paid a lot for fresh orange juice with breakfast and it was served in a tiny cup, and the granola with fruit took over 10 minutes. Granted we came in as a relatively large group of 6. The interior was really nice and the food was good in the end though.

    Local venue in beautiful Canonbury. Relaxed setting in a period building with wooden floorboards and huge glass shopfront with a pleasant outlook. Delicious variety of toasted sandwiches and home made cakes. Very good coffee. Friendly service. Fresh breads and pastries.

    A hidden gem in the heart of Islington. Worth searching out if you want a great coffee and a piece of cake ☕🍰

    One of the best places in the neighborhood. Really nice people. Since the street is closed and no annoying car traffic anymore, it's such an nice walk and we visit more often.

    This place is great! Kicking ourselves for not visiting before, we are local. Coffee and service lovely but most importantly the monster cookies were a religious experience for us. Best cookies ever?
