  “Most people serve themselves by taking their food and drinks to the tables and downstairs into the garden, although I did see one person being served. Someone special? The coffee's good and I love the idea behind Redemption Coffee as a company. The food however is not their strongest side. The egg and veg foccacia sandwich that costs £8, if not more, was tasteless and the pain au raisin was not the freshest, either. The chicken sandwich looked tasty but I couldn't have it because there was pancetta in it. I haven't tried their cakes, but they looked good. We sat in the garden which was quiet and spacious, but half of our bench was wet. I had to wait for quite a while to use the toilet as there's only one and it's tiny and not the cleanest. I won't be returning as there are plenty of lovely cafés in Angel to choose from.”

  “I visited Redemption Roasters in Islington for breakfast yesterday. The food was delicious, and I also loved the hidden grotto and the lovely garden! What truly sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. The entire team was incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. A massive shoutout to Steve for serving me with such wonderful energy, and attentiveness! I will definitely be back!”

  “Male staff at the till assumed I spoke Mandarin and said xie xie to me. He also placed an order for a large Iced Latte without asking me what size I'd like, which costed more than what was stated on the menu. Coffee quality is average, not worth the price (which is above London average) and the service was not good.”

  “Fantastic place, wonderful philosophy. Absolutely loved my lunch and coffee here. Bought a bag of their special coffee as a gift for a friend too, which went down very well. Everyone working here is brilliant, and the manager in particular (who was supporting some new employees the day I was in there) is so kind, professional and friendly. Highly recommend!”

  “Food looked great from the cabinet but was very average. The focaccia’s were dry, very bland and considering the price it was quite disappointing. Great coffee and even better service! Staff were lovely and helpful. But food needs work.”

  “What a terrific place to have coffee. The coffee is v good, the staff are attentive, relaxed.. there's a good, easy vibe here. Good space for external catch-up, chats and people watching (a great spot..). A commendable initiative also sits behind the company which is great. The focaccia sandwiches are quite lovely, v filling, and fun!”

  “I ordered an Americano, but it was far too strong and had a very bitter taste. I mentioned that it was too bitter for me and asked if it could be made a little smoother. When I took it back, the replacement was even more bitter. The taste was so intense, dark, and sour that I honestly felt like I was going to be sick. I then asked if it could be changed to a latte instead, but unfortunately the latte tasted like plain milk with almost no coffee flavour. It’s really disappointing not to be able to enjoy a good cup of coffee in the morning. I tried three different drinks, but none of them were drinkable for me. It was a very unpleasant experience.”

  “Great space, but £4.20 for a white coffee is already expensive AND you get cheekily asked to add tip in front of the server - daylight robbery. Yes, you can select “no tip” on the machine, but this makes the whole interaction awkward and unpleasant. Makes people less likely to come here in the first place as there is plenty of other choice of cafe nearby. To Redemption management: this is a not a restaurant, there is no “table service”, and should be no service charge. If you feel your staff need tips, then buck up pay them more - it makes your brand look like cheapskates.”

  “Redemption Roasters in Angel is a lovely spot with a welcoming ambiance, though experiences can vary depending on seating. This was my second visit—on my first, I sat in their garden, which offered a more pleasant and spacious experience. Unfortunately, due to the colder weather this time, we opted to stay indoors, where the multiple levels were quite crowded, however we were lucky to find a spot. The coffee was enjoyable in flavor, though served lukewarm, which was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, their breakfast selection is extensive, offering a variety of pastries, cakes and sandwiches. The portions are fair, and the taste is consistently good. One improvement I’d suggest is an upgrade to their seating. A woman sitting just ahead of me fell when her chair gave way, and I was able to catch her. Thankfully, she was fine, but sturdier seating would definitely be a plus. Overall, I look forward to returning on a sunny day to enjoy the garden area, where the atmosphere is even more enjoyable and spacious.”
