Lizzy's On The Green in Islington

You know that feeling when you're walking through the park in the butter cold and a cafe rises from the fog like an oasis in a desert? That's Lizzy's. Great baps, great surroundings!

Because the food and coffee are very good here, low rating is purely down to the staff. Have been living locally for a few years and given it many chances as it’s in a great location right on the green, perfect for a morning coffee. But the staff are pretty unpleasant, which has lead me to stop going here. They have got my order wrong a couple times, which is fine, but they got very defensive and rude on both occasions. If you’re looking for a nice setting and good coffee, go here but be warned the staff are not going to help make it a pleasant experience

Haven’t tried any pastries or food yet, but the coffee here is great 10/10. I usually just get Long Black. The café is very cute, plus they also have heaters and blankets too, which are much needed right now)))

Such a great little place for breakfast or lunch. Lizzy's cake making skills are legendary.

Queued up during normal opening hours to be then told ‘kitchen’s closed’. At least have the decency to pin up a notice so we don’t waste time for absolutely nothing. They must be doing brilliantly well to turn away customers on a Sunday.My advice? Don’t bother, hop over the road to Acoustic.

Good coffee but not dependable (sorry!) with sporadic opening hours. Just turned up for a coffee at 15:30 but already closed for the day almost half an hour early. Acoustic is more reliable but maybe not as good coffee...

Very good and a decent range of coffee, cake, nibbles etc.. Not too pricy either. Lovely place to meet up.

Lizzies does a lovely coffee but there's so many dogs wandering in and out of the area! I know they don't go near the food but they really shouldn't go so near the serving areas! I do love the fish finger sandwiches though sooo delicious!!

In reference to an earlier review, this cafe is neither pretentious nor over-priced. I had a hot fish sandwich and fruit juice and it cost me little more than a fiver.Frankly I wish more London parks had a small cafe with outdoor seating... just like this one.

Cute little set up, brilliant idea. It's the kind of place you wish you had started. Coffe was decent, standard London prices. Friendly staff behind the counter and loads of variety to pick from for such a small place.
