A little local direction.
Start at Angel with Pophams or Redemption, then head north to Caravan’s Brewbar or The Roasting Shed. Both north London roasteries sell beans and run courses or classes, so they suit a longer stop.
GOOD TO KNOW
Caravan’s Brewbar lists no Sunday hours and closes at 4pm. The Roasting Shed’s Hornsey Road café stays open until 11pm on Fridays as a wine bar.
