The Roasting Shed – Where Coffee Meets Craft in Finsbury Park

📍 322 Hornsey Road, London N7 7HE

Tucked just off the buzz of Finsbury Park, The Roasting Shed is more than a coffee shop—it’s a quiet manifesto for quality, community, and caffeinated clarity. Whether you’re here to work, read, or simply breathe between meetings, this place offers a rare kind of calm.

Atmosphere Split into two distinct zones, the space balances productivity and pause. One side hums with laptop users tapping away at communal tables, surrounded by plug sockets and password-free Wi-Fi. The other is reserved for book-readers, daydreamers, and quiet catch-ups. It’s a thoughtful layout that respects both focus and flow.

Coffee & Bites Coffee is the star here—roasted in-house, served with precision:

Flat whites & filter brews — smooth, rich, and consistently excellent

Ham & cheese croissants, sourdough toast — simple, satisfying, and well-sourced

Brownies & cinnamon rolls — indulgent without being cloying

The food is good, but the coffee is what you come back for. For heartier bites, locals often pop next...

Best you could get out of a local coffee shop!

The coffee is delicious and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and super helpful.

The space is open with tons of natural light and they have their roasting space in the back. Lots of seating outside as well, and right next to Big Jo for all your pastry, bread, and cake desires.

I was curious about their espresso options and at the time they had a single origin Mexican alongside their standard blend.

The espresso was really sweet, great acidity, and clean. As I was wrapping up, one of the staff dropped by a cup of their new Pink Burbon, Huila Colombia. Honestly, one of the best filter coffees I’d had in a long time!

Thank you 🙏 and I’ll be back when I’m...

I've been coming to this place for the last two years now during the mornings to do my work as I usually work from home and I love this place! It's very chill, good music is always playing, the staff don't bug you after you've finished your coffee or try to chase you out. That welcoming attitude alone has kept me coming back and even if I left North London I would travel back to get a coffee from here. Also, the coffee is 10/10 and they really know they're stuff about what they're selling because they roast their own beans (I'm talking the science of coffee level knowledge). I hardly ever write reviews, ever. But damn give the roasting shed...
