Cosy, nice confectionery and good coffee ☕. Service a little slow, but not serious.

Best station coffee in London and lovely friendly crew. I commuted through Highbury & Islington 2015-2019 and was seriously missing the Coffee Run when my office moved to Farringdon. I eventually switched jobs and am now going through Highbury again since Nov 2020, I was so pleased to still see the same crew, after the lockdowns, was like homecoming. In all seriousness, if you come through Highbury & Islington, get yourself a coffee on platform 7. Edit Jan 2025 - had many more coffees all over London, the Coffee Run's oat milk flat white still goes unmatched! And try the filter coffee, so good one doesn't even need sugar!
