Luka Caffe

With a near-perfect 4.9 rating from 230 reviews, this High Street café on the Crouch End and Hornsey border has clearly earned its local following. Doors open early — 7:30am on weekdays — for coffee, sandwiches and desserts, and it's billed as a place to settle in, whether you're reading, writing or catching up with friends over a cup. Takeaway and delivery are on hand if you'd rather take the good stuff home.
