An oasis in Cricklewood. I stayed in the neighbourhood for a week and came here almost every day. I have only good things to say about the food, but it's the atmosphere that's so special. The owner has created a friendly neighbourhood spot where customers can fall into chatting with each other. I met retired school teachers from the neighbourhood, Persian brothers visiting from Manchester, a single female traveller from Poland. To me, the multicultural clientele and primo coffee reminded me of Toronto and made me feel at home. Thanks, La Esquina!

A wonderful family-run cafe. The food is delicious and portion sizes are great. Nice mix of coffees and teas. A great place to catch up with friends or have a nice meal alone. Comfortable seating and modern decor. I've heard you can even book it out for a private party. It'll be a fantastic venue for it! Parking at the B&Q opposite is available during the day. Highly recommend dropping by if you're anywhere close to Cricklewood.

Kid-friendliness
They don't have a kids menu, but they do half portions. I'm not sure if they have high-chairs, but my 3 year old sits perfectly in the chairs as you can pull the table towards the children.

Amazing little coffee shop, so tranquil in here, beautiful coffee & amazing vibe, just so relaxing. Nice fresh sandwiches also. My new favourite place to come 10/10 100% worth a visit

A pleasant local cafe in the heart of Cricklewood. Always a smile from the staff, and always a lovely cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever you want). Don't go to the chain stores on the Broadway, venture further afield and enjoy a much better experience.

The decor inside is exquisite, really trendy and inviting. The staff are friendly and always very positive. The food is prepared and presented with passion. It tastes as good as it looks. The coffee tastes as good as the top brands and is probably the best in the area. Skip the high street and take the time to get your takeaway coffee from these guys, you won't regret it.

Honestly, it was the best breakfast I had in the UK for the last 10 years of living here. My wife and I were passing here and thought we give it a try. I don't regret it. The portions were good size, quality of Omletes were really really good. Good bread used. We had a hot chocolate and a Cappuccino and they were both great quality Strongly recommend them

Decent coffee and very nice sandwiches...freshly made and very good value all round. Excellent service and nice atmosphere. Recommended. Not the best cappuccino I have ever had but not too bad at all. Better cappuccino down the road a few doors but the food makes up for it if that's what you want.

Quality, friendly and affordable place. The roasted vegetable I brown pumpkin bread is absolutely delicious. Unlike many other roasted veg dishes La Esquina isn’t drowned in garlic sauce to give taste. Its cooked to perfection. Iced drinks and milkshakes easily surpass coffee chain stores and at less cost. Try at once and you will soon be a regular!

Coffee is great. But the vennoiserie is cooked to perfection. Also if you have time to pop in for their amazing mouthwatering sandwich. Wow. Just try any you will always be back for more. Also the omlette they make mmmm. Thinking about it is making me hungry. You will not regret your visit. And the owner Fatimeh is amazing with great service. Enjoy.

We were late for lunch, but when we asked if breakfast omelettes were still available we were cheerfully told yes. They came with toasted very fresh baguette (choice of white or malted brown) and dressed salad: completely delicious. The other customers were enjoying home-prepared food, too. Would love to have the opportunity of eating there again.

Really good price, amazing food (everything is fresh and tasty); from sandwiches to breakfast it's all perfect! Fresh juices made at the moment with sweet oranges,amazing coffee made at perfection. The customer service is perfect and the staff is so kind that makes you want to come back every day. Love it!

This is a beautiful cafe, friendly staff, reasonable prices, good food and a great ambience. It is a jewel in the Cricklewood crown and a place where everyone can feel comfortable and relaxed. Some folk pass by, others do work and there is something for everyone. Certainly better than the regular chains...

I can‘t recommend this place enough, they have so delicious coffee and some very nice omelettes. It‘s the perfect place to have a breakfast, lunch or a take away coffee! Also the owners are the friendliest people :)

I have visited this cafe for the first time although I go past almost every day and I liked it. I tried an omelet with salmon and pickled vegetables it was okay. The coffee was tasty and the staff are friendly. I will be coming back soon.

Great cafe. Interior is really nice and creates a good atmosphere. Sandwiches are delicious and fresh, while the prices are really cheap. Whether it's for a quick bite during the week or a relaxing experience on the weekend it's perfect.

Went for a quick sandwich, calm and relaxing atmosphere inside, comfortable sofas, clean and well decorated. Food was excellent, fresh made strawberries smoothie. Reasonable price and friendly staff. I definitely recommend it.

Amazing atmosphere and the staff are really nice and friendly especially the owner. I would highly recommend with my experienced.The coffee tastes very nice and natural seems expensive quality and the price is not expensive

Amazing food and coffee in a relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed the Spanish omelette and cappuccino

Best coffee and food place in the whole area. The owner and staff are extremely friendly and the food is fresh everyday + there's many healthy options available. I always go here to work or meet up with friends.

Was out shopping with friends and their two kids and decided to stop for a nice refreshing homemade fruit juice and coffee. The host was lovely and friendly; it's a nice place to chilled and they do food too!

I can't really say much more than everyone else so here's another positive review. I come here a few times a week and it's a great place, food and atmosphere. I hope they don't change anything about it.

New place on Cricklewood Lane. Cool interior, friendly staff and good coffee. Cheaper than Costa down the road and better service. Free wifi and a selection of fresh sandwiches and simple meals.

Such a lovely place best coffee shop in the area, amazing friendly staff the owner is lovely and there coffee is one of the best is UK honestly. Plus there toasted tuna sandwich is just amazing!

I go here every morning for two large white espressos - the coffee's nice and strong, gets me in the right .mood for the rest of the days activity. Service is also prompt and very friendly.

The quality of food is great in my opinion.. this is not a greasy spoon cafe. You might pay a little bit more but the quality is well worth it.. lovely stuff. Look forward to going back...

Auntie places!!! That's what you call it!!! Great food! Amazing salads!! Wonderful service!! I always go!! Must go! Their food is home cooked, fish, chicken, meat!!! Always a variety!!

Amazing place, there's attention to detail in everything, from the food and drinks to the design of the place and a super friendly staff. Very good prices too. Definitely recommended!

I cant recommend this place enough. Great food in its price range, lovely family with positive attitude.
