About the Vibe
Music & Beans is a Harringay staple since 2011, serving up hearty breakfasts and fresh-baked goods with a soundtrack that sometimes gets a bit too loud. You'll find free-range eggs, homemade sourdough, and a solid vegan menu here—go for the Full English or the crushed avocado on sourdo. It's a local favorite for morning fuel, though skip it if you're looking for a quiet chat.

Solid Harringay Breakfast Spot
Music & Beans has been a Harringay fixture since 2011, and it's easy to see why. The smell of freshly roasted coffee and baking bread draws you in, and the menu delivers on substance. The Full English Breakfast is a solid choice—free-range egg, bacon, beans, hashbrown, portobello mushroom, and grilled tomato, all served on homemade sourdough. The vegan and vegetarian options are equally thoughtful, with the Vegan Breakfast featuring crispy roti, avocado, asparagus, and homemade beans.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, though the music can get a bit loud during peak hours, making it less ideal for a quiet conversation. The cakes are baked fresh every morning, and the crushed avocado on sourdough is a standout. Service is friendly and efficient, perfect for a quick breakfast before work or a leisurely weekend brunch. It's not fancy, but it's reliable, local, and delicious.
If you're in Harringay and need a good breakfast, Music & Beans is the place to go. Just don't expect a quiet café experience—the music is part of the charm, even if it's sometimes too much.
