The Spoke is a locally owned cafe and restaurant at 710 Holloway Road in Archway. It occupies a handsome former public house and preserves the easy sociability of a neighbourhood meeting place. Coffee, breakfast and lunch shape the daytime service, while later openings and a weekend evening collaboration extend the atmosphere into the night.
Breakfast covers pastries, eggs, pancakes, avocado and a substantial full English with merguez sausage, bacon, mushrooms, tomato, beans and potato rosti. Huevos rancheros brings eggs together with black beans, chorizo, cheese, jalapeño, avocado and salsa. Lighter plates, seasonal specials and vegetarian choices make it possible to visit for anything from a quick snack to a full brunch.
Burgers range from a classic beef patty with Gruyère and relish to spicier combinations with Mexican chillies. Crispy Korean chicken adds kimchi, gochujang mayonnaise, sesame pickles and a fried egg. Hand cut chips, sweet potato chips and salads complete the main plates, while sandwiches, cakes and children's dishes keep the daytime menu flexible.
Carefully made coffee is joined by tea, juices, beer, wine and cocktails. From Thursday to Saturday, the Bell and Viv evening pop up adds tacos and signature mixed drinks until late. Locally sourced ingredients, free range produce and an inclusive welcome help The Spoke function as a relaxed all day destination for Archway residents and visitors.
