Life isn’t perfect… but your coffee can be
Our coffee
Blending is the culinary art of combining two or more bean origins to achieve a more complex flavour, length and finish. A blend is needed for true caffe espresso but can also suit other brewing methods. The skill of blending lies in recognising individual flavour characteristics of single origin coffees and then combining to achieve balanced and complete flavour in the cup. Our roasters are continually sampling single origins and considering altitude at which the crops are grown and the processing method used for each to ascertain how it fits into a blend profile.
AllPress Espresso Blend
This is our signature blend of Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala and Sumatran origins, roasted in the classic Milanese style. Rich and full-bodied with balanced, complex flavours and full sweet acidity.
Our bread
Organic is at the heart of our bread, caring for the environment and creating a sustainable existence are fundamental at Charlie’s. That’s why we work in partnership with one of London’s leading and lovingly hand-crafted bakery who share our corporate values: The Celtic Bakers in North London, situated in the old Chocolate Factory.
Applying knowledge and techniques passed down and finessed over countless generations, our breads are baked from scratch and all shaped by hand. Using natural leavens, along with flour, water and salt our breads are created with natural ingredients only with no additives or preservatives, everything is baked fresh daily.
Simple, natural and delicious, we stock a wide range of breads with a real kick to the flavour.

Total hidden gem! Relaxing and cosey decor inside to match their great coffees (my friend loved her iced coffee and said it was nicer than most) and wonderful savoury selection we enjoyed. Takes you away … More from the bustling high street, found on route to the mall, glad we stopped! -
Marianna Guglielmi ★★★★★ 5 months ago
An amazing welcome from Giacomo, big smile and he made me feel at home.

The food is good and the music very relaxing. -

sa'd farooqui ★★★★★ a year ago
Amazing food and top tier service. Incredibly accommodating to all my dietary requirements. Happy to help me find something soft for me to eat because of dental issues. Definitely try the french toast … More huge portions packed with so many different flavours and textures. Overall great experience. Thank you! -
David Haynes ★★★★★ 7 months ago
This is the benchmark in Wood Green for a cafe , great service , changing the menu not an issue
Real nice atmosphere too
Everyone is spoilt for choice with Turkish cuisine from here to the station
Not … More so for cafes
Accept no substitute , others cafe owners should come and try this place and maybe raise the quality to try and at least compete -
