Caffè Mobile Van

You'll find this espresso van parked up on Islington High Street, right where the foot traffic's heaviest and the commuters are properly desperate for something decent. It's the kind of setup that makes you suspicious at first—is a van really going to serve better coffee than the café next door?—but then you taste it and suddenly you're back every morning. The people running it clearly give a toss about what they're doing, pulling shots with the kind of precision that suggests this isn't just a side hustle. It's become exactly the sort of place that makes a neighbourhood feel like somewhere worth actually living in.
