Curious Yellow Kafe

A splash of Scandinavian-inspired colour brightens this Barnsbury corner, where the playful name sets the tone for a cafe that doesn't take itself too seriously. Generous all-day brunch plates and reliably good coffee draw a loyal crowd of Islington regulars who linger over newspapers in the cheerful, light-filled room. It's the sort of place that quietly turns a quick flat white into a two-hour morning.
