The Travel Café - Islington

My new favourite shop! I’ve visited a couple times now to buy plants and the staff are so friendly and helpful and really go out of their way to help. So many gorgeous plants and lots of really nice pots to choose from too

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.

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. Regards Yusef and Julian

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

It's a pity that it was only available for takeaway at that time, but the environment in the store is very good and the staff are very friendly! It's close to the Emirates Stadium, if you pass by here, you can try it

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

Marie makes the best coffees and has provided outstanding & friendly service everything single time I have been to Travel Cafe for the past 2.5 years. She’s always smiling and very warm from the moment you enter, which is a nice change in London cafes. Thank you Marie for always remembering my order, the brief chats, and your expertise on the selection of plants.

Everyday I pass by this cafe but today was my first time getting in and omg their space is amazing! I only had time to buy only one plant from their big variety. I got a Satin Pothos and a very cute vase. The friendly guy working there was so helpful about my plant and great in general, I will keep coming back to try their menu aswell
