Cafe Forum is a family run cafe spanning 673-675 Holloway Road in Archway. Founded by two brothers from a family of third generation chefs, it serves breakfast, brunch and substantial daily specials in a bright neighbourhood setting. Fresh ingredients and broad choice make it useful for everything from morning coffee to a complete afternoon meal.
Breakfast begins with a full English plate of egg, bacon, Cumberland sausage, mushrooms, tomato, hash browns, beans and sourdough. The vegetarian version adds halloumi, avocado and vegetable sausage, while eggs Benedict and Florentine, omelettes, pancakes and French toast provide alternatives. Organic coffee, fresh juice and smoothies complete the morning selection.
Brunch and lunch include a Wagyu beef burger, buttermilk chicken burger, fried chicken wraps and a pulled lamb panini. Arabian penne and chicken Alfredo cover pasta, while salads combine goat cheese, walnuts and honey mustard or grilled chicken with quinoa, avocado and Caesar dressing. A sharing board gathers fries, halloumi, chicken bites, olives and beef chorizo.
Daily specials move from grilled salmon with saffron mash to lamb kofta with harissa hummus, chicken with creamy mushroom sauce and sirloin steak with chips. Cheesecake, warm brownie, pecan pie and affogato offer a sweet finish. Wine, beer, cocktails, speciality lattes and milkshakes give the drinks list enough range for both casual daytime visits and slower meals.
