The Terrace Cafe-London

a corner of finsbury park that most people walk past without a second thought. clifton terrace is quiet in the way that n4 side streets tend to be, removed enough from the main stretch of stroud green road that you have to want to find it. and the people who do find the terrace cafe tend to keep coming back, which is the kind of endorsement that says more than any list. the coffee is taken seriously here, without the self-consciousness that sometimes creeps into specialty spaces that are more interested in performing seriousness than delivering it. if you're plotting your morning around a single decent flat white, this is a reasonable place to plot it.
