The Travel Café - Islington

Very pleasant cosy interior. I rushed by, and was attracted by it, went in and didn't regret. I had a bloomer toast with ham and cheese - with salad and sauce - very good. Staff is so friendly, I spent an hour there, and everybody coming in for coffee had a lovely chat with them. Coffee was great - Australian. Strongly recommend.

Nice Place, staff very friendly. I had the toasted bloomer, ham and cheese. Sadly it was dry and ham to cheese ratio, personally wasn't good. They do fresh OJ and I was told by my Mum the coffee was lovely.

Staff were nice and I liked the decor but my iced latte wasn't great - it wasn't iced! - it came with about 3 ice cubes in which melted immediately. In a way I guess it's good value since there was certainly more milk than in a usual iced latte (less space taken up by ice!), but it really wasn't cold enough. Also the cafe smelled vaguely of damp dog? I wanted to like it here but probably won't go back.

I really enjoy coming here to grab a takeaway coffee (takeaway only for now) and to soak in the atmosphere for a moment. It feels like an oasis in the concrete desert of London. Attached is what the shop looks like at the moment (post lockdown)

The coffee beans are from Monmouth and the coffee is really well made.

The plants in the photo are both decorative and on sale throughout the shop, going from tiny succulents all the way to free standing house plants. I definitely recommend stopping by even to browse 😊

I have been to Kevin's shops a number of times and he is always welcoming. He explains plant care very well. The store has such a warm atmosphere and amazing plants. I would recommend all my friends try this place. Thanks Kevin for the hang plant.

Excellent coffee, great plants and lovely staff. I will be back. They also a good range of alternative milks including alpro almond milk!

Simply the loveliest coffee place in the area!! I am a regular (and loyal hehe) customer of theirs. I buy coffee from them at least 2 times a week. You can collect a stamp everytime u purchased a coffee and the 9th is for free!! (I think I've already had 4 free drinks yayy)

The coffee they make is decent for sure. I personally love the taste of their beans.

Another reason why i always come back when there are other choices around the area is that the baristas are always so friendly and welcoming, especially the lady from Czech Republic (should've asked ur name, apologies). She is literally the sweetest barista I've ever met!!! Such great hospitality, full of passion and great energy. She always sparks up great conversations and I just enjoy chatting with her everytime I go there to grab a coffee. You know when someone remembers what u causally said last time and asks about a follow up the next time u go… genuinely feels like a friend of mine, but a friend who makes good coffee.

The environment in the coffee shop is also nice and comforting. They got all these green plants in it and a calming background music. U can buy a cute plant from them, or u can simply enjoy the peace and calmness this place brings to u. Like an escape from the hustle and bustle.

Words cannot describe how much this place means to me when i have been away from home and going through difficulties. I am just truly grateful for ur existence. xx

Lovely coffee and amazing plant selection with super friendly staff, always love stopping by
