Thought this place is a real local find. Only been once and would go again. Very child friendly atmosphere and pleasant staff. Had the largest coffee I've ever had and reasonable prices. Would recommend.....
i go there several times a week, and have since a friend held their party there early summer. it's fantastic - probably the best cafe in north london right now - cosmopolitan, friendly and mega healthy and fresh food...
Avoid like the plague..
It wasn't the fact that the food was terrible or the incredibly bad service, but quite possibly the curly hairs i found in their spinach salad!
And when i complained i was just laughed at and brought the bill!!
After reading some of the other reviews of this place i thought I'd leave a genuine one..
Have fun.
I have just had one of the strangest experiences of my life. I have been visiting the haberdashery since I moved into the area a few weeks ago, and today when I went in someone came to the table and started ranting about a bad review and accused me of posting it. Service is a little slow there, but not enough to bother me and not enough for me to write a review about it. As I also pointed out I do not have an internet connection and did not write a review (I went to a web cafe to post this). He carried on accusing me of writing a bad review nad said I was banned. He seemed quite serious about it although I think the real reason is that the friend I usually come in with is disabled. You can't ban someone for being disabled so I guess he made up the bad review story.
Or he might be paranoid, either way I don't want to return there.
i'm a regular there, and the staff are always lovely. i bring my two children all the time, and they have gone out of their way to be helpful all the time, so not really sure what experience you had but it doesn't sound at all like the same place. in fact, most of the mums i know go there not just for the great decor and food, but because the people there are so friendly compared to other places - they even open the door for you!
Very disapppointing, very rude staff. As a local resident, I had really been looking forward to my birthday outing at this stylish, quirky new coffeed shop. We experienced rudeness from beginning to end. From being made to feel like a nuisance as I have a buggy to being threatened that our order was too small, to being asked to leave our table a minute after settling our bill as there were people waiting. The brownie was delicious but I don't think I have ever been treated so badly in a restaurant before. Shortsighted when repeat business will come from local residents (many of which have babies). Unless they change their attitude, I don't think this will remain this busy for much longer.
Had lunch there today and liked it a lot. Decor is unusual and staff very welcoming.
I was impressed by the number of vegetarian offerings such as pumpkin gnocchi and spinach. The gnocchi were tasty but could have been a bit lighter in texture. The spinach was delicious. The bread served in little flowerpots was an imaginative touch.
For dessert I shared a wonderful chocolate cake - nothing pretentious, just good.
I would recommend this new restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food in an imaginative setting.
Just stumbled across this utterly quaint and delightful eatery in the ever fashionable Crouch End, this place really captures an almost pre wartime charming atmosphere with cakes in the window reminiscent of those Granny used to bake and equally as tasty. The place is cosy, warm and tastefully decorated. The waiting staff were very friendly and there was an impressive menu including homemade soups served with bread baked in little pots. The fresh pastries looked delicious and the sweets in the old Haberdashery counter were like something from an old sweetshop. I heard this place only recently opened but it felt like it’d been there forever. Highly recommended, a real treasure, go and see for yourselves.
I visited this place recently - I think it's just opened - and it's absolutely gorgeous. The menu is to die for, the service perfect and the little touches throughout are fabulous. It's very cool, and has fantastic food. I'll be going back again and again and again. Highly recommended! Go there before everyone hears about it!!
Finally a good eatery in Crouch End. From the food to the decor and the service everyhting is perfect here. Tea is served in old china cups and the counter is full of old fashioned sweets. This has become my favourite place in north London. Highly recommended!
