A great little traditional cafe in Holloway near Islington Central Library.The service is excellent, fast and diligent.My breakfast was served in a blink of an eye.It is a greasy spoon but the spoon are clean and shiny.The prices are very good and is a lot of choices even for vegetarians customers.I will come back soon to enjoy this charming cafe.

Lovely old school cafe. Food, service, and prices are all great.Worth noting that it’s cash only but there’s a few ATMs nearby. We were also allowed bring our small dog in with us which is a plus!

A proper old-school cafe, with great food and a warm welcome. A real bonus for me are the plant-based dishes also on offer. Today's options were vegan Shepherd's Pie or Fasolada (white bean casserole). Fasolada was a no-brainer... who wouldn't want a real Greek dish prepared by a real Greek chef? Delicious, hearty, authentic food - clearly made with love. Excellent value too. See also: Jay Rayner's Guardian review. (Please note - I'd already partly eaten my lunch before I thought to take a photo!)*Just popped back in* for a truly delicious Fasolaki (green bean casserole). Gorgeous!! And again, for the Shepherd's Pie!
