Vertige Café

Wanted somewhere nice to eat before the Arsenal game on Saturday. Don’t know the area so googled the night before, pics looked good so thought we’d give here a try. We weren’t disappointed 😍 My son had an amazing omelette & I had the scrambled eggs on sourdough, both were so tasty. Service great, I had an amazing kombucha to drink, good variety of flavours in stock. Would def visit again if we get tickets in the ballot next season.

Really nice brunch place, really cute and cozy.
Staff really helpful and friendly, always kept an eye on everyone.
Only thing I would mention is the cold inside as the main door is open, but there is a covered terrace which is maybe warmer.
I didn’t have to wait for a table nor waited too much for food.
I would come back 100%

Lovely little space in the back. Great breakfast meals and good coffee

Great food and coffee at this classic on Highbury roundabout. Sitting in the glass-covered patio for brunch is really nice! They are fast, efficient and nice even when it gets very busy on the weekend. Have now been quite a few times and will continue to go for brunch, coffee or to buy delicious pastries to takeaway. Highly recommend!

Very nice café. We were there for lunch on a Saturday. Very good menu. We had felafel (delicious with hummus and pomegranate) Shakshouka very tasty and their take on Benedict (very generous portion). Lovely coffee too! Service was also very courteous and nice which is always a plus when they’re so busy!

Lovely café & perfect spot for brunch. The menu has so much variety & all the options look amazing! Delicious coffee. Will definitely be back soon!

Great coffee and variety of delicious food. Staff are very friendly!

Tried croque monsieur (végétarien) for the first time. It was very good. Mzyaaaan.
Coffee was from Monmouth and it was really good too! Came with a nice latte art

Such a cute neighborhood option. The canelé are delicious! The staff are friendly and super efficient.

Really great spot with tasty brunch (plenty of veggie options) and friendly staff. Biggest problem is trying to get a table as it’s rightly popular!

French café just across from Highbury & Islington Tube and Overground station. Fabulous pancakes with caramelised banana, yoghurt, syrup and raspberry sauce. Orange and polenta cake was also excellent with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. The drinks are modest-sized but, like everything else, extremely well done. Stepped in because it was opened before 9am on a Sunday morning. What a lovely surprise.

Just had a very good oat decaf capuchino and warm croissant. The food is always of a high standard and the coffee is great. Friendly and helpful staff. My favourite cafe in Islington for sure🤩

Favourite local spot for brunch and pastries! Best croissant in London and always tastes warm and fresh out of the oven.

The best French pain au chocolate in London I’ve ever had!
As a bonus, price for the breads are very reasonable especially when you take them away.

Great place for breakfast, delicious plates and coffee. Big plus: Everyone in the staff is extremely attentive and thoughtful.

Best brunch in the area, hands down! Exceptional quality ingredients — the sourdough is out of this world. The best shakshuka I've had in London, and top-notch coffee, too. Very prompt service and lovely cosy atmosphere.

I’ve been living in the area for 3 years and I regret I didn’t discover Vertige earlier! Had a Vertige Omelette as brunch and I absolutely loved it. The portion is perfect - enough to fill you up but not making you feel heavy afterwards, and it is not too greasy. The small terrace in the back is so airy and bright and I’m happy it’s not too crowded even it seems to be quite a popular cafe. I’ll definitely return and try more dishes!

The coffee was delicious, and my favorite thing was the sourdough bread! It was so good

Nice place for quick and delicious lunch

Couldn’t fault the food one bit! I could honestly say that’s one of the best breakfasts I’ve had - the sourdough bread is incredible. Would highly recommend visiting here!
