About Fink's Salt and Sweet

On Mountgrove Rd, Fink's Salt and Sweet is a cafe-deli baking its own bread and croissants in-house. Sandwiches include aubergine and labneh, and the counter also holds a small selection of produce and cards. Pastries run to a blackberry friand and pain au chocolat, alongside cakes such as chocolate Guinness cake, burned caramel cake, banana bread, and strawberry shortcake scones. Coffee, wine, and beer round out the drinks list. There's no reservation system, it operates on a walk-in basis, and seating can be hard to come by, with people settled both inside and at the pavement tables out front. A seating area at the back works for laptop use. Dogs are welcome throughout.

Customer Review Summary

The complaints are smaller but specific. One reviewer found the pumpkin brown butter brioche bun short on pumpkin and the oat flat white not strong enough, another calls the buns dry and suggests dipping them in coffee, and a third didn't like the coffee at all. A few describe staff as aloof or note a drop in service lately, and one found the caramel cake's icing stuck to its bag.

    “Coffee quality is really good! Lovely staff. I love going after my morning jog. In the morning, the sun gives straight into the shop which makes it even more pleasant!”

    “I have been a regular for a few years now, and I am very pleased that they are now doing their own bread and croissants. As a French, I am picky with what i consider a good croissant and finks is definitely my favourite croissant in London (9.5/10 for the croissant). (The pain au chocolat is very good too but slightly too greasy to my liking so I don’t get it as often - 8.5/10) The coffee is also very good, as well as all their other products they offer. For Christmas they also have the best selection of products to gift!! I have noticed a drop in the customer service in the past months, probably due to the expansion of Finks and a lot of new joiners, but this might just be temporary while everyone settles in and I think it’s still worth going to get my weekly treat there.”

    “We moved to Riversdale Road two years ago and we are so lucky to have Fink’s! Fran and her team are just the best and when we talk about community it is establishments like this where you get to know people that are the bedrock. It’s also great coffee, food (we get our bread from here, now baked by Fink’s!) and the best spot to sit in the sun and watch the world go by. Thank you! (And bring back the morning buns! 😉)”

    “Great chatty atmosphere and despite coming late in the day and not being much left the chocolate Guinness cake was insanely good and the blackberry friand was different and has the lovely texture.”
