"No speak Americano? Luckily, these guys do. They’ll even paint you like one of those French girls...well, not really, but they do paint unique rosettes into cups of what can only be described as liquid joy. Also, there was this one time that Ed the Barista had this epic moustache. It doesn’t affect the coffee whatsoever but we don’t like to let him forget it. I mean we did take photos of it and put it all over Instagram. Anyway, now that’s over, back to the coffee. It’s pretty damn good. Try it for yourself. It’ll help warm you up from the inside and get over the loss of the moustache. They also do wicked food, which you can either enjoy whilst sat admiring the wartime paraphernalia or from the comfort of the replica Air Raid Shelter in their back garden. Oh and they’re licensed, so you can get boozed up too. It’s all rather spiffing, isn’t it old boy!" - The Barefaced Movement

Rather pleasant for passing the time of day . The immensely handsome front of house waiter was pleasant and efficient, indeed his smile drew me into the cafe in the first place. Waitresses pleasant . The manager/owner ( also handsome) was a bit stressy which affects ambience, but when he smiled he changed the feel of the cafe and brought delight into the room ... It has a Bohemian, thrown together feel that works for relaxed and distinctive. Fascinating mixture of people in and out. The coffee was fine. The eggs on toast was fine too, though could have done without the extra sea salt for me personally. But nice enough. London prices of course! I think the cakes in the window could do with glass covers . I didn't have, but on a hot day, I am sure they must be dried out. Overall a very pleasant visit and if I was local I'd probably pop in again. And seems locals do just that.

It was our first time visiting this cafe and it had such a great atmosphere--quirky decor, loads of seating options, and the outdoor area was perfect for enjoying the beginning of spring. Dori loved getting to sniff around the outdoor garden before getting comfortable and settling down for a nap. We didn't get to take photos of the food (as we were hungry lol), but the food and coffees were lovely and filling. They didn't have cheese for my butty, but they offered to replace it with something of my choice. Dori very much appreciated the extra hash browns! Kam and his team were such a pleasure--very welcoming and kind. Whether you're catching up with friends, getting some work done, or taking you pup on a day out, we think Blighty would be a great space for all of the above. Would highly recommend and we're sure that we'll be back.

Nice interior where you can have a coffee, eat a cake and something else. A big cup full of goodness. The latte is tasty and well prepared. A great alternative to big franchises. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 7.

Brightly is a conveniently located brunch spot, just an 8-minute walk from Finsbury Park Station. The space is bright and welcoming, with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The food, however, was just okay. While the menu offers a decent range of brunch options, the flavors and execution were underwhelming—not bad, but nothing memorable. If you’re in the area and need a quick, convenient brunch, Brightly is a fine choice. For a standout meal, though, you might want to explore other options nearby.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Quality breakfast and coffee. Friendly atmosphere, good variety of food options. Would be great for a private hire.

A great little spot. Decent choice of food and drink options. Catering to all food types (meat, veggie and Halal option). There is an upstairs and outside seating options so plenty of space. Reasonable priced for the area. Sourdough bread tasted amazing. Loved the little cockney rhyming words on the munu for some of the items too, added to the feel of the cafe. Would recommend if in the area.

This café strikes the perfect balance between comfort and functionality. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are genuinely friendly, and the coffee and pastries never disappoint. Their chai lattes are a personal favorite. With ample room for laptops and extra seating upstairs, it’s an ideal spot to unwind or stay productive.
