<![CDATA[Greater London - Islington - Canonbury - Eating, Drinking and Nightlife - Cafes - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Fantastique! http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/canonbury/cafes/belle-epoque-n169pr.html#r6917 French-style cafe, with good service, wonderful coffee and superlative cakes and pastries.

It's not expensive compared to chain coffee shops (It was £1.70 for a latte) and the coffee is better. (They bring it to your table so you don't have to hang around at the till.)

The best bit is the choice of cakes and pastries - my oh my. These are delicious. I have a real sweet tooth, and recommend their toffee cheesecake in particular.

Also on sale are some imported French groceries - packaged goods like biscuits, jam, etc.

I live less than 5 mins away, and it's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon (although it gets very busy at times).

Feels very authentic French. Popular with yummy mummies so can be loud, also not the cheapest place, but a real asset to the area.
