Harris & Hoole in Enfield

One of the best coffee houses I’ve been to in a very long time, Southgate has a lot of coffee shops but not an atmosphere like this one, children friendly and the vibe is lovely and calming.They really do treat you like a friend instead of a paying customer, will always return as they also make the BEST coffee ever. You will not regret :)

Always an inviting and welcoming atmosphere, polite and knowledgeable friendly staff and a lovely environment. Also one of the best coffees in London in my opinion

Really nice iced coffee, milk options available and they add plenty of syrup unlike other cafes sometimes. Overall would pick this over costa anyway :)

This is a good cafe to spend some time at. I had an americano from here, that was really smooth. Unfortunately, they do not serve coconut milk - their non-dairy milk options are only soya milk and oat milk. The seating is comfortable and there are many interesting shops and eateries nearby.

What happened to this place??Harris & Hoole used to be somewhere you could get a reliably good cup of coffee.Not any more.It’s a long time since I’ve been here. They used to serve a fantastic Guatemalan espresso by Union Roasters but have since switched to their own Peruvian Roast. This was a bad move. The coffee is better than the well known high street coffee shops that we all love to hate, but that isn’t saying much. They’ve gone from great coffee to just OK it’s better than Costa coffee.Staff give off a vibe that they don’t want to be there and the atmosphere in the shop is just drab. I remember this place buzzing with people but I walked past a busy Coffee shop across the road to find H&H empty.What a shame.

Wonderful cafe. A cosy place with a warm cheerful atmosphere.Perfect place to have breakfast and lunch. They have a good range, from sandwiches to toasties, bacon roll, ham & cheese croissant.Muffins and cakes are tempting.The gingerbread men brings out the kid in you.The decor feels like an art gallery, as they have some charming art on display. They also have a shelf full of books available to read. I like the look of their cups and plates too. There's an interesting style to them.What adds to the charm are the friendly staff, they're always smiling and welcoming. My every visit is a pleasant one. I'm now a regular customer. ^_^

Edit: August 2017. In the last 6 months, the service got much worse unfortunately (staff got more rude) and the last few times we've been there we haven't been particularly impressed with the quality of the coffee either.-Now this is a great place. Friendly, helpful, always with a smile and last but not least, the coffees are great! I tried various things and everything has been great. The food (such as gingerbread man or croissants) are all great. Great for both takeaway or if you want to sit and chill. They have many events too. And the staff has been excellent every time I've visited! I like this place and will keep going back. Recommended if in the area!

Not bad tea. I will admit that their coffee is watery, however we only go there for tea and snack. Winter has an Oat Turmeric Chai Latte. Really tasty. Goes well with a light cake. They do have a uni sex bathroom that is also a disabled toilet. Common for students to study here on the weekend

Love the coffee at this place. The Baristas here really know how to pour the perfect cup! An excellent place to just chill or get some work done while having great coffee. A welcome sight as you come out of Southgate station means you can either grab a cup on your way out or on the way back.

The coffee is excellent in here - it takes its time coming, but it's well worth the wait. The food, while pricey, is very tasty; and the staff are very friendly. As a store, it feels proud to be a part of the local community, too. The music's also not too bad - the radio oscillates between The Hits, Heat Radio, and a live feed of Radio Veronica from the Netherlands.
