Dan & Decarlo is a cafe on East Finchley High Road with a strong focus on breakfast, brunch and coffee. The atmosphere is casual and energetic, making it a useful stop for a morning meal, a quick lunch or something sweet with a hot drink.
Breakfast choices range from a full English and eggs on sourdough to generously filled muffins with sausage, bacon, egg, cheese or hash browns. Avocado toast, smoked salmon and a full vegetarian breakfast broaden the selection beyond the classic cooked combinations.
Toasties, ciabatta subs and substantial salads carry the menu through lunchtime, while flavoured hash browns and small sides can turn a lighter order into a fuller meal. Vegan food is given its own section, and smoothies and iced drinks offer an alternative to coffee.
Coffee remains central to the cafe, including beans produced through a collaboration with a local roastery. Cakes, muffins, cookies and loaf slices provide a simple finish, and the combination of dine in service and delivery makes the menu accessible beyond the High Road shopfront.
Address: 20 High Road, East Finchley, London N2 9PJ, England
