Authentique Boulangerie - Finsbury Park

An artisanal French bakery, coffee shop and deli rolled into one, this Blackstock Road spot pairs fresh bread and pastries with barista coffee and deli fare, with seating both indoors and in a secluded garden out back. Doors open at 8am every day, though it's worth noting the early 1.30pm close from Monday to Thursday, with hours stretching to 4pm from Friday. Judging by the 4.8-star rating from 133 reviews, Finsbury Park has happily embraced this slice of France on its doorstep.
