"Profile is a perfect coffee shop, whether you’re here to nerd out over the oxygen-free fermentation process of their batch and hand brews, or to eat a cookie as thick as the David Nicholls paperback you’re crying into. This Highbury spot doesn't miss. It’s small but if you can sit in, do. A gentle playlist sets the tone, the avocado toast is Maldon salt-sponsored, and there might be a dog within arm’s reach to pet. They’re serious about coffee, but Profile puts equal care into making this somewhere relaxing and pretty for a chat (laptops are relegated to a single table), and a quick bite to eat. photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat photo credit: Koray Firat" - Sinéad Cranna
