Fantastic food, great atmosphere, friendly staff... a great night out!
What a great little find. Went for a coffee and ended up having perfect poached eggs on toast with avocado.

Highbury is maybe not the trendiest neighborhood, with its busy load roads and crowded dirty sidewalks. However, recently a great variety of unique restaurants and coffee shops have been opening in the area, giving it a cute neighborhood feel. Sawyer and Gray is an adorable little spot, with faded wooden walls, furnished with wooden tables and mix-matched chairs, and decorated with random little items like an old typewriter, faded boxes and an antique bicycle hanging off the ceiling. The Mumford and Sons music in the background perfectly complements the decor and makes you feel like you're in a hipster's country home, which is a wonderful way to escape the city for a few hours.
I tried their flat white which was pretty nice, but mostly I think their menu is great. The Brie, cranberry and bacon sandwich is really tasty and they have healthy delicious breakfast options. The prices are really reasonable and you can comfortably sit here for hours, reading or just chatting with a friend. The baristas a really friendly and they pay great attention to the customers. It's never too crowded, there's always enough tables and you'll mostly see the same people. It really feels like a neighborhood coffee shop and it's really lovely to spend time here.
