Angel Delicatessen - Islington

I had the worst experience of any I've ever had in a cafe or restaurant here recently. The man behind the counter started off very friendly and chatty but suddenly turned and became incredibly aggressive to our friend with her newborn baby. While we were waiting to be served my friend had taken her tiny baby to change in the back. The toilet had no facilities and a wet floor so she came out and perched him on a little table in the back store room and got on with it. The same man who had been serving us went out to the back and told her that she couldn't change they baby there. So she took the baby and put him on the wet toilet floor an changed him there. Not ideal but she got on with it. When she came out to be served the man shouted at her and was so incredibly aggressive and rude that at first I thought it was a joke. He was shouting violently and yelling to her to Costa where they have facilities. She didn't understand as she had done what he'd asked, and the level of his response was so out of proportion to what he was angry about. It was horrible. Really shocking. Once we realised he was deadly serious and very scary we left. I have been here before and it's always been fine. But I will NEVER go back. Proper Jekyll and Hyde experience. Shocking.

Had half an hour to kill before an appointment and was lucky to grab a cold drink and a spot in the sunshine. The guy who served me was super friendly thank you!

The owner of the restaurant is welcoming and friendly, but the staff are disappointing, displaying rudeness and an uncooperative attitude. I was not pleased with the service and would not revisit. The food is tasty, but the portion sizes are small and not very generous—you may need to ask for extra servings.

The owner was extremely unhelpful when I returned to retrieve something I had left behind. Additionally, he made inappropriate comments about my weight while I was placing my order.

A wonderfully calm place for a coffee only 100 metres from busy Upper Street. Colorful outside seating, tasty little pastries to accompany your drink and a very happy owner to brighten up your day
