Very good coffee, not open all the time, you'll find this stall in a tent on Islington green near waterstones. Try a flat white.
This is much more than a toy store; a good place to find all sorts of gifts but especially vintage home decorations.
Great cocktails, but if you show up without a reservation they'll seat you on the stairs of shame. They usually find you a table after about 15 mins in my experience, provided its not too busy.
Great selection of beers, get in early for a table if you haven't booked. Pork roast is delicious
This place is amazing. The food is very good (and £5.50 for all-you-can-eat), the mango lassi is superb but it's the decor that really makes it: every inch of wall is covered in vegetarian propaganda!
A little brunch gem nestled in a residential area. Apparently a favoured place of ladies who lunch. They do a delicious take on an eggs benedict with tarragon & mustard holendaise and Parma ham!
Wonderfully quirky cinema. Lovely comfy seats and VIP sofas. For the best rum hot chocolate you've ever had order at the bar, partake in the free snacks then have your drink delivered to your seat!
Lovely cakes, proper apple strudel. The food is good and authentic Austrian. If you are tall be careful you don't hit your head on the lamps when you stand up. Free wifi.
Most excellent sausage sandwich. Really quirky and innovative menu. Lovely outside seating if its a good day. Good cocktail list too. Recently started selling eggs benedict.
This is the quirky heart of Islington. Feels very like the north laine in Brighton. Go on Saturday for the antiques market and shops, go round the hidden antiques court. Sunday has the food market.
Super cheap and popular French restaurant in islington. Romantic vibe. Good vegetarian options and all mains under £8. Pre booking advised!
Pub that's open late (at least 1 am), great selection of cask-conditioned ales and wines, live music most nights, a small theatre in the back, free wireless, comfy chairs, and superb ambiance.
Excellent food and service. Mediterranean brunch is particularly fine, scrambled eggs with feta cheese mixed in, also lamb sausages and delicious hot buttered Turkish bread, like a Turkish fry-up.
Fantastic cocktails, one of the barmen is renowned for his Piña colada's so make sure you get one during happy hour. The Cuban food includes fantastic slow cooked meats with rice and root veg.
Pricey but if you can snag one of their 10% off cards, it really adds up. Great selection of organic and healthy food; small produce section.
Lovely shop full of all the bits you need to make wonderful things, with the nicest staff around. And great brownies to boot!
Ask for a brunch selection, they are introducing an official brunch menu soon but will prepare a fab selection of tasty Peruvian brunch items if asked

Under new owners and refurbished throughout, a good mix of drinkers and diners, thoughtful choice of beers, wines and imaginative modern food, and seats in attractive back garden Read more.
A little Islington gem, amazing food funky soviet artifacts, fab wine list. We had the Bellinis, Cheese bread, chicken & wallnut and trout. All great but Bellinis stand out! As does the Mukuzani wine!
Great staff, cracking smokey meats, unbelievable selection of draft and bottled craft beers. Get down there.
Quite good Eggs Benedict, lovely atmosphere and also has outdoor seating. Tasty Italian pastries. Also a lot easier to get in on a weekend than the places near Camden Passage.
Delicious eggs benedict & brunch here, also lots of tasty salads and lunchy things. Try the berry smoothy!
