Coffee Circus

Coffee Circus is a nice coffee shop with plenty of character and a really good vibe. I only ordered a long black, which I enjoyed, but I’ll definitely visit again to try their breakfast menu. The place is pet-friendly, and they have desserts displayed at the counter. They also offer juices, smoothies, speciality brews, hot chocolate, tea, iced drinks, and even kids’ options like a babyccino, so it’s family-friendly too. They sell coffee mugs and beans as well. Overall, it’s a cool spot — worth checking out whether you’re going alone, with friends, or with family.

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.

Happened on this little cafe while visiting Crouch End. Great welcome from the team of guys working behind the counter. Ordered avocado and goat’s cheese on sourdough, was really very good, and fairly substantial. Thoughtfully one of the guys asked me if I’d prefer my coffee after I’d eaten. He then asked me if I was ready for my flat white once I’d eaten. Was a really good coffee. Nice atmosphere in there, and was clear that lots of their customers were regulars. Having tried a few places in the locale, this is definitely the place I’d return to

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.

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.

An awesome coffee shop in Crouch End area, highly recommend. The coffee is the best I’ve had locally. The foot is good, the breakfast I had here wasn’t that hot when served up but I don’t feel it detracted too much from the overall experience.

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!

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!
