Tinderbox in Angel

Where: Within Upper Street's N1 centre lies this trendy hangout with an outdoor terrace
Famous for: Really great coffee in all shapes and sizes. The flat white was delicious, perfect temperature and proportions with a strong full flavour. That aside, while I'm not usually one for sweetened 'fun' coffees when it comes to the Caramel Icebox - I make a big exception. This Icebox would have me coming back time and time again (check it out below in the milkshake glass). Ok - so it's not really a coffee, but it really was the most exciting drink i've tried in a long time.
For food: I'm a sucker for the pasties de nata (those little Portuguese custard tarts) but there is a wide variety of pastries and deserts to choose from.
Overall experience: Where the staff may lack a little charm, overall this place is a really nice haunt. With it's various seating setups from the cushioned steps, to the tucked away booths and outdoor terrace - this cafe is full of atmosphere long into the evening. The coffee is good, really good - but the Icebox is even better. Trust me!
