Titanic Cafe

you're on holloway road, which is long and loud and not the kind of street that asks you to slow down. titanic cafe at number 306 does, though. it sits in the middle of a stretch that's more chicken shops and off-licences than brunch destinations, which makes finding it feel like something worth doing. the menu runs vegetarian, so if you eat meat you'll need to leave that expectation at the door, but the breakfast and brunch options hold up well enough that most people don't seem to mind. desserts get their own attention here too, not just an afterthought at the bottom of a laminated page. locally, it's well regarded, and that kind of reputation on holloway road takes some earning. come for a late breakfast, stay for whatever they're doing with coffee that morning.
