  “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.”

  “Aussie from Melbourne here - having lived in Finsbury Park for over 2 years, I have fond memories of this cafe, as it was a weekly ritual. Super cosy, always delicious cakes, and the star - the coffee - is world class. The section at the back for laptops was handy.”

  “Been to this branch of Finks a couple times now, solo and with others. Really great coffee, and every sweet treat I have tried so far was exceptional. Sometimes a little tricky getting a seat, but I’ve never been queuing out the door. I like the small selection of produce that can be bought and have purchased cards from there which have been nice quality. I really wanna try the ice cream sandwiches when the weather improves, they look incredible. Staff can be (the times I’ve been there) a little aloof.”

  “Came here for a quick brunch on my own while walking my friend's dog since I was dogsitting at hers for one weekend. The place is dog-friendly and the staff at the cashier was really nice. I got there around 11:30am and there was a queue with lots of people both sitting inside and outside although luckily I didn't have to queue long as lots of customers were only getting things to do. There were so many sweet options ranging from cake loaves to sandwiches and everything looked absolutely scrumptious. I decided to go with the pumpkin brown butter brioche bun and an oat flat white and I sat down inside since I was getting tired from carrying the dog in a puppy carrier bag. The flat white was really smooth although I would have wanted it stronger and richer. The brioche bun was really nice and big in size. The bread was fluffy and soft with a slight hint of cinnamon and sugar but couldn't really taste much pumpkin. I can imagine it being even tastier if it was re-heated in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my quick brunch there while doing some people-watching. I would love to come back soon and try other baked goods at the counter.”

  “Cakes and sandwiches here are different level but the coffee wasn’t to our taste. We had aubergine and labneh sandwiches which were delicious, burned caramel cake, banana bread and strawberry shortcake scones and seriously they are so good and I can’t decide which one is the best. Customer service was good my only issue was that the caramel slice cake was put in a bag and all the icing was stuck to the bag so it should be in box instead.”

  “Fink’s is a truly top quality cafe. The coffee is always very good, the food is generous and full of flavour. My French toast was smothered in bacon! The atmosphere is laid back, calm and relaxing. Staff are always prompt and friendly.”
