Daily Grind

"An owner-run Islington spot where the breakfast is genuinely excellent and the coffee is exactly what you want alongside it. Ahmed and Farouk run a tight, welcoming room worth making a habit of."

What we love

• •Independently owned and operated, with the owners present and hands-on
• •Breakfast and brunch are the main event, well-priced and carefully put together
• •Coffee is straightforward and strong, built to complement the food rather than headline it
