Always a pleasure, always a Delight!

Delight kitchen is a gem in North Finchley! Tucked away ever so slightly from the main hustle and bustle. This cafe is filled with vibrant colours, writing on the wall, light bulb hanging lights, patterned tiles and wonderful options for food.

This is one cafe that will leave you spoiled for choice! As I am a Breakfast/Brunch kind of person I normally opt for the same thing when I come here! The Veggie Delight! I swapped out the mushrooms (Blugh) for bubble and squeak. Not many cafes do bubble and squeak, so to my sheer delight I was not disappointed. Reminded me of my childhood, going round to my grandparents and enjoying it homemade. The portions are not on the shy side and when you finish that meal you feel more than satisfied! I did think about cake after but didn’t want to push it!

The staff are always friendly and the cafe is always busy! The mark of a great cafe is how full the place is. We luckily managed to get a table just as a gentleman was leaving, but there were people having to get takeaway. Highly recommend...

🌟 Absolutely Outstanding – A Hidden Gem in North London! 🌟 I can't recommend Delight Kitchen Bistro & Cafe highly enough! From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional – warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive throughout. You can tell the staff genuinely care about your experience, which makes all the difference. Now let’s talk about the food – wow. I had the Full English with pancakes, and I’m still thinking about it! The pancakes were soft, sweet, fluffy, and honestly the best I’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. To top it off, the juices were freshly blended, vibrant, and refreshing – a perfect complement to the meal. This place truly raises the bar for cafés. It’s easily one of the best food spots I’ve been to in North London so far. Whether you're after a hearty breakfast, something sweet, or just great service in a cosy setting, Delight Kitchen is the place to go. Can’t...
