Fink's Gillespie

To echo some of the reviews, this place has some potential. However the service lets it down; the baristas are more interested in chatting amongst themselves than they are in serving customers, and I was offered a very burnt toastie (priced at £8) after they forgot to set a timer in the midst of their conversation. They did re-make the toastie, and it was nice; but ultimately I wasn't impressed especially with how long I had to hang around waiting for a second toastie after they finally realised where the burning smell was coming from.

Cute little cafe, close to the Emirates Stadium and walking distance from the old Highbury stadium on Gillespie Road. We were looking for a quick breakfast fix and zeroed in on this place. Seating is a bit cramped, and there are few tables. Most folks prefer taking away their order. The cheese croissant was good, crispy and fluffy. Nice, freshly brewed coffee and decent baked breakfast items.

I always LOVE going here, such a cute cafe (with delish coffee and pastries). The girl working was so lovely and chatty, such a nice way to start my day!

The first time I went here I didn’t have a pleasant experience. I went a second time because I wanted to give it another chance. Unfortunately same issues again. Barista spent ages chatting to each other instead of taking orders, the line was outside the shop. Didn’t ask me if I would like to stay in or takeaway, was given a paper cup even though I wanted to stay in. The coffee is decent but the service is crap. If you’re charging £4 for a small cup of coffee I would at least expect a greeting or asked if I’d like my coffee in a mug or to takeaway. It’s all very pretentious and I won’t be visiting again. I also have noticed they tend to treat their white customers with more smiles and greetings than their person of colour customers. This is a point that has come up in other reviews as well. I won’t be a patron anymore.

Great coffee and pastries! Their loaves of bread and chocolate croissants are my particular favorites. The baristas are also super friendly and easy to have a quick conversation with. All around a lovely spot!!

Great neighbourhood coffee shop. Perfect for a quick takeaway coffee or bite Appreciate the little grocery section they have as well. Small selection of cool products Space is a bit small for sit/dine-in but they do have seating

Go here quite often as the coffee tastes decent. However, they seem to have new staff lately who are somewhat sarcastic and attention seeking types. Feels awkward, like I am interupting their gossip and generally not very welcome. Shame as some of the longer serving folks were very customer focussed.

This place has really really good coffee! Their pastries were very good as well ❤️ their cinnamon rolls are unforgettable 🥹 However when I've been there, the baristas were a little bit rude ☹️ Although they have a couple of tables inside, this is a place for a to go coffee. Inside is pretty dark.
