Harris & Hoole

This is an average coffee shop, large space inside and a play area for the kids. There are a couple of comfy sofas and the rest tables and chairs. Beyond that there isn’t a lot to say, the coffee is OK, the teas come with an egg timer to show you when it had brewed, novel but a bit gimmikey. There isn’t much of a selection of food to be honest, the piece of cake I had was quite dry and not particularly appetising. It always seems fairly popular in here however, as most coffee shops seem to be these days, a small place like High Barnet manages to support about 7, god knows how. Bear in mind that this has the appearance of a bit of an independent place but it’s actually a Tesco’s company, so if you out to support local businesses this may not be the best choice, remember £1 in every £10 spent in shops in the UK is spent in Tesco’s.
