Barista is situated in the heart of the 'hustle and bustle' of Finchley Central. It has a selection of cakes and pastries and more robust meals, like salads etc. You can buy paintings by local artistes. On display was a series of seasonal paintings...titled 'Winter'. I personally think that you can walk outside to appreciate the seasons rather than buy a painting - but that's my view anyway.
Cafe Latte (3): I got a take away CL (£1.60). It wasn't upto much. It wasn't very strong. It reminded a bit of a very successful coffee chain's which is more milk than coffee.
Ambience (3): It wasn't very busy but considering it was 945, at the time of my purchase, I guess that's probably why. There is a smoking and non smoking section which will cease by next Summer. There is some outdoor space which spills over into the bus stop. So, if you're waiting for a bus. This is the place to stop.
Buggy friendly (3): Accessible but there are the smokers to think about....
Footnote: It's near the station so if you're desperate for a caffeine injection then this is probably the nearest place to find. I am sure they would make the coffee stronger if you insisted.

About Me
- The latte days in North London
- So like a lot of people due to funding cuts etc etc I find myself at 42 on the scrap heap. 16 years of experience working in further education....and tbh it wasn't a career choice that I planned after University. I just landed a job and continued to work in the sector going from project to project. Not very exciting you might think and many times I thought the same. So for one reason or another I find myself looking for that job that will excite, entice and appreciate my knowledge and skills. You'd think it was a no brainer but interviews are getting tougher and tougher and no candidate is left unscathed by the process, I'm going to ue this blog to feedback and reflect on each of my interviews and maybe I will learn something on the way on how to clinch that job.

I am currently in America-land and over here the coffee sucks. Can't wait to get back and try some of your local chain free recommendations. Keep up the good work.
