Katsute 100

the tea here deserves your attention before you even think about coffee. katsute 100 sits on islington high street, and the tea list runs deep enough to make the coffee almost feel like the supporting act. almost. the specialty coffee holds its own, and if you're coming solo, this is genuinely one of the better spots in the area for it: a table to yourself, something interesting in your cup, no pressure. the small plates and vegetarian options mean you can stretch a visit into something more than a quick caffeine stop. it's the kind of place where you can order slowly, think slowly, and not feel like you're taking up space. start with the tea, then let the coffee find you.
