Please note, Two Doors Down is now closed. Time Out Food & Drink editors, Oct 2016.
The slightly rundown lower reaches of Kentish Town Road have been acquiring an increasing dose of gastro-cred, and this utterly winning coffee shop opened in May 2014. Two Doors Down is tiny, with seating for just a few people upstairs and another ten or so downstairs; there are also tables outside. The owners’ warm and friendly attention to customers must account in large measure for their devoted local following. So does the coffee, made with Allpress beans. Milky drinks are executed flawlessly. Espresso has been slightly less consistent, but steady improvement shows that they’re learning well. Food is simple but excellent: quiche, salads, sandwiches and baked goods (check out the spicy quail’s egg sausage roll). Prices are sensible. In all, a place to cherish. Lucky K-Towners now have a second coffee place to rival the much-loved The Fields Beneath.
