Vagabond N4

My favourite place now to sit and read a book in Holloway. Delicious coffee (it’s slightly bitter, which I find interesting and nice). I also had the Spanish omelette and the lemon drizzle cake and they were excellent. They have ample seating with some nooks. I especially liked the front seating area because IMO it’s cozier and has less noise from the coffee grinding compared to the back (although some might like the white noise). What I also liked about this place is that they make excellent coffee but it’s not one of those wanky places that keep popping up in central London (sorry, don’t know how to describe it better). People working there are nice :)

We’re very lucky that Vagabond is our closest cafe, so I’ve had coffee here a lot and it’s very good. What made me want to write this review though was the Full English I had here recently. I’ve had their Full English in the past and it was fairly average, not bad but not great. However, the last couple of times I’ve been they’ve stepped up their game so far it’s unbelievable - I think I’ll be coming back for it every weekend. The first thing to note is the quantity you get. It doesn’t show in the picture, but it’s quite literally a mountain of food. The most important thing though obviously is the quality, and I have to say I think it may be the best Full English I’ve ever had - and I’ve had a lot. The sausage is juicy and flavourful, the black pudding has fantastic texture, the beans are seasoned unlike any I’ve had before, it’s all just incredible. Keep doing what you’re doing!

This was my first time coming here, but it is safe to say I will definitely be back!!! I came here for lunch with colleagues. We had smoked salmon, poached eggs, and avocado on sourdough toast. The quality of the ingredients was amazing. The food was fresh, tasty, well prepared, and beautifully presented, and the coffee is to die for!!! It was an even better surprise to see that they brew their own coffee on the premises!!! The prices here are a bit higher than other establishments, but when you factor in the all round quality, it is worth every penny. The staff here are also very friendly and welcoming and we felt very at home here. The free WiFi is also a bonus. This place is definitely a new favourite of mine
