Boulangerie Bon Matin

you're on wells terrace, which is a quieter stretch just off the main finsbury park drag, and boulangerie bon matin is the kind of place that makes the detour feel obvious. the specialty coffee is the anchor, but the tea list has enough going on to give non-coffee drinkers a real reason to show up. if you're working alone or just want a few hours without being hurried along, this sits well for solo visits, which isn't always a given in north london. the small plates and vegan options mean you can actually eat here, not just drink. finsbury park has been shifting for a while, and wells terrace is part of that quieter, less-announced version of the neighbourhood. come for the coffee, but don't overlook whatever's on the tea menu that day.
