EZ & Moss

Holloway Road is hotting up when it comes to coffee shops. Ez & Moss has been there a while now and it totally delivers, it’s the best place locally. Great coffee and excellent food, coupled with a good vibe. It can get busy but that tells you something! Love the brunch and it’s a good lunch option too.

Having recently moved to the area I happened upon this café with friends one Sunday afternoon. Going in with no expectations I can tell you that we were soon blown away by the food. Everything on the counter in relation to presentation looks amazing and the taste was delicious. I had the quinoa burger (so so good) and carrot cake, would be a worthy place for breakfast also! The ambience was a very chilled out vibe and although we arrived late for lunch the crowds didn’t come in until after we arrived. A perfect weekend location!

We can’t deny it anymore, people. Holloway Road is becoming a hot spot.
The inevitable spillover from nearby Upper Street means that the Guardian-​reading denizens of Islington are starting to mill around the lower section of Holloway Road a lot more than they used to. Although there are all the usual mixed feelings about gentrification, I can’t say I’m not excited about the current influx of posh cafes and coffee shops just outside my door.
EZ & Moss is a delightful new addition, serving up vegetarian & vegan fare (fantastic brunch!), great coffee and wonderful baked goods in an atmosphere that isn’t «too» hipster — nowhere near the level of extreme hipster you’d find a few miles east. (Part of the reason I love Islington — cool, but not too cool). The *only* reason it loses a star is because of the lack of meat on the menu — I’m an unapologetic carnivore who is partial to a bit of bacon with my weekend brunch.
Islingtonites, check this new spot out!
PS — Unlike nearby Vagabond N7, these guys take card payment, hurrah!
