Le Peche Mignon

Friendly, casual and quite lovely place. I love coming here in the morning for a cappuccino and their delicious croque madame.

What a find, I had baked eggs my wife had scrambled egg and sausage roll and two coffees.

Service was perfect and friendly. We sat in the back court yard which is very baby friendly.

5 stars and we will be definitely coming back.

One of my favourite cafes in the Holloway Road area, they offer the best coffee as well as some fantastic food. Get the almond croissants for breakfast, the egg tart as a snack and any of their sandwiches for lunch!

Favourite is their brunch menu, though do come early if you want to get a seat as this cafe becomes extremely busy! Had the eggs florentine on my past visit and wasn't disappointed, and pretty good value as well.

For those looking for food produce, they also sell various hams, cheeses and dried/jarred products, largely from France!

Can't wait for summer, as they have a cute little garden area to sit in and enjoy the sun!

This is a great little place. They have eggscellent breakfasts, a cozy interior, and an œufsome outdoor space in the rear. Also, they make the best soy flat whites in the neighborhood. It's cozy and warm and more than worth the few steps off the main road.

Je suis certain qu'on peut parler français là-bas, but English works well, too.

Gem of a cafe and deli in what I like (as a resident) to call 'up and coming' Lower Holloway. I'm addicted to their coffess, and my partner and I go here to drink lattes and read the paper most weekends.


There's an excellent selection of cheeses for such a small shop, and products are rotated and updated regularly. Wine selection is also very good. It's Not Cheap, but it's not Pret a Manger either. It's become a bit of a victim of it popularity when it gets busy at weekends - with seating at a premium. But the new expanded garden outside has helped enormously.

La Pêche is a tiny and cozy French café & deli/bakery with a fair selection of delicacies from all over the world (Nutty cheddar from England, organic polenta from Italy). Croque Monsier and Eggs Benedict/Royal are definitely my fav together with a fresh orange juice or a cappuccino (I don't recommend the soy one though). The place is not about a huge selection, a great service or huge tables rather than feeling at home without staying at home. Very nice hidden backyard for the good season.

The sun was out. The back patio was bustling. The toasted sandwiches were luscious and surprisingly low-cost.

There was very little I could find fault with about Le Peche Mignon.

That is, besides the quite young manageress who was taking her break, sat right next to me yapping away quite loudly and tiresomely about everything and nothing. Seriously, if you're going to eat with the patrons, shut your trap. If it hadn't been for her disrupting an otherwise beautiful and contemplative dejeuner and for her rather flippant response of 'The chef says eggs are finished' when my boyfriend tried to order les oeufs, this would have easily been a 5-star experience.

The high quality counter stocks chorizo from Brindisa, teas from Kusmi, coffee from Monmouth, cheese from Neals Yard Dairy and Mons Fromager and La Fermiere yoghurts as well as natural and biodynamic wines from the leading wine importer Les Caves de Pyrene and beer from the superb London brewery The Kernel. Need I say more?

The menu is reasonable and pretty extensive given the size of this place. There are sweet treats as well as savoury dishes with the best croissants I've had outside of France and other freshly baked pastries in the window along with their unbelievably good baguettes, which became ever present in our flat.

Le Peche Mignon is an adorable little French place in Highbury. The coffee at this place is notably good, and has improved over the times that I have been there. The baristas must be honing their techniques, as the consistency of the milk seems to have gotten much better.

There is a selection of pastries, salads and sandwiches on offer if you are hungry. During the day it is quite acceptable to just go for a coffee, as long as it isn't too busy.

The atmosphere is lovely, and the French that you can hear from the staff makes it an authentic experience. The music is good and the vibe is right. What more do I need to say? It is open 7 days a week and It is definitely worth a visit.

Went there for Sunday brunch at 11:30, got a table pretty easily but did call ahead to check first.

I'm not sure i've salivated waiting for food as much as I have here.

The smell is unreal and the food is really good. Love how simple the menu is.

We had Eggs Royale and they were cooked perfectly. My mate had the Croque Monsieur and said it was the best ham, cheese, and bread he's ever tasted.

Pretty cheap too compared to most places in London. Nothing over £9

Best coffee i've had outside of Monomouth.

Call in advance to check how busy they are as its a small place.

Beautiful cheeses and kitchen stuff to also buy if you feel like continuing on french cheese train.

This lovely Highbury cafe is right around the corner from my new flat, so I've stopped in a few times for a lazy coffee and a pastry in the sun.

It's a tiny place, and I've not yet gone there for a proper meal (although the food looks *lovely*), but I can attest to the fact that the nibbles / snacky bits are delicious...and the staff are absolutely wonderful.

I've walked by seen it completely packed (1 small communal table) on rainy days when the garden isn't usable, so the tiny size is a bit of a downfall.

Also - the coffee is good, but not great. Much better than costa, not as fantastic as nearby Vagabond N7.
