Southpaw Coffee isn’t just a café—it’s a mood. Tucked into the curve of Caledonian Road, this pint-sized spot punches far above its weight, serving up some of the best coffee in North London with a side of curated cool and unapologetic charm. Atmosphere Minimalist but warm. Think mint-green coffee bags, a roll of brown paper scrawled with the drinks menu, and a strict no-laptop policy that keeps the vibe social and intentional. There are only a handful of seats, so it’s more about the moment than the marathon. The energy is buzzy, creative, and quietly confident. Coffee & Bites Southpaw takes its coffee seriously—and it shows: Flat white – often described as one of the best in London Gluten-free cookies & pastries – rich, fresh, and thoughtfully sourced Grilled cheese toasties – not just comfort food, but a ritual (weekend specials like beef ragu toasties are local legends) Wine by the glass or bottle – a surprise twist that adds depth to the offering Everything feels curated, not crowded. The menu is compact, but every item earns its place.
