Cafe Bello

you're on lordship lane, n22, which runs long and local through wood green and tottenham, the kind of street that still has a fishmonger and a fabric shop and doesn't feel like it's performing anything. cafe bello sits in that stretch, and the locals have clearly decided it's worth returning to, repeatedly. that kind of repeat trust doesn't come from nowhere in a neighbourhood this lived-in. if you're north of seven sisters and you want something independent with a genuine reputation behind it, this is the stop. weekday mornings especially, when the lane is just waking up and you've got somewhere to be, a flat white here is a reasonable argument for arriving early.
