5 Great Things To Eat & Drink Around Crouch End - London - The Infatuation

"When your commitment to great bread means you’re willing to spend between 15 and 30 minutes queueing in the rain, then Sourdough Sophia is for you. As the name suggests, the specialty here is baked goods, and while their baguettes and loaves are reason enough to make this a destination, you shouldn’t snooze on their (pre-order only) chocolate babka, expensive but fun specials like a pretzel croissant triangle sandwich with smoked salmon, herby shmear and apple, a Ferrero Rocher-inspired cruffin, or a 10/10 sausage roll. If you want to skip the queue, all of their baked goods are available for click and collect, however their excellent Gentleman Barista coffee is not. Or, Dunn’s bakery is a Crouch End landmark, and their croissant is one of the best we’ve had in London, or, for those with a sweet tooth, La Gelatiera is the place to be. Their fresh, small batch, limited edition gelato flavours like honey, rosemary, and orange zest, and basil and chilli are way better than that mint choc chip lurking at the back of your freezer." - oliver feldman
