Cooks & Books

"Cooks & Books is the kind of Islington spot you keep in your back pocket: Allpress coffee and what many rate as one of London's best full English breakfasts, all without the usual neighbourhood café price tag."

What we love

• •Coffee sourced from Allpress, one of London's most respected specialty roasters
• •Americano runs mild but rich, well-extracted and easy to drink
• •The full English is the real draw here, a serious contender in a city full of pretenders
• •Strong value for the quality on offer
