Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Welcome to Harringay Beans & Barley
Beans & Barley's first customers flocked to the terrace and enjoyed the new store's coffee
After a quiet soft opening earlier in the week, Beans and Barley finally opened its doors to Harringay today on a glorious early summer day.
Owners Irfan Serce & Caglar Eric (pronounced Cha-glar) were fair rushed off their feet and I didn't have the heart to drag them away for a photo. They're both behind the coffe bar - Irfan in the blue check shirt, Caglar in the black T Shirt
Irfan and Caglar were pouring a welcome glass of wine to their first customers, but many seemed very happy just sitting out on the terrace sipping the rather good coffee.
So, it's welcome to Harringay to the new boys on the block. I was chatting with Ebony at Harringay Local Store a few days ago and she told me she wished them well and felt confident that all the recently opened shops on the north Harringay strip would benefit as the scale and variety of what's on offer expands.
The double-fronted Beans & Barley is half cafe, half produce store. The free wine will sadly not be a permanent feature.

I popped in on the weekend and really liked the range of organic/gluten free products on offer. Will definitely return for a coffee and food at some point! Great going guys!

Just had a flat white - lovely coffee here. Every outside table taken with people enjoying the sun. Great addition to the area!

It looks fantastic. Is anyone able to do a coffee comparison with Blend?

The coffee I had was well presented (fern pattern), was strong and definitely comparable to Blend. Not a patch on Matthew's at But First Coffee (Quernmore Rd) though. He's got the best coffee in Harringay hands down.

I know, I've committed a HoL sin!

That's no sin. We support anyone with imperial aspirations for Harringay!

We should claim But First Coffee for our own before the Crouch Enders do...

OK, anyone from a serious coffee appreciating country like New Zealand or Australia?

Ahem. Me?

John, it was one of these countries that took the perfectly good cortado and turned it into that abomination, the flat white. Heads should hang in shame. The unsung hero of coffee is my hometown, Sunderland. Where else can you get one made from boiled evaporated milk, two teaspoons of Camp and 6 sugars with a pease pudding, savaloy sausage and hot pork fat dipped bap on the side?
