The food is Mediterranean and priced for a sit-down brunch rather than a takeaway coffee.
A halal brunch café is trading from Workshop 40a on Tottenham Lane in Hornsey, the N8 address also known as an antiques and vintage furniture emporium. Cloud7 Brunch, which has a branch on Handel Parade in Edgware, was rated five stars for food hygiene on 14 August.
The food is Mediterranean and priced for a sit-down brunch rather than a takeaway coffee: Florentine eggs at £12.90, traditional shakshuka at £13.90, salmon delight and summer breeze at £14.95 — the same prices as Edgware. Halal certification is the pitch.
Check the hours before you walk down. Cloud7's own Hornsey page lists Tuesday to Sunday in one place and every day, 8am to 6pm, in another. Which of the two applies, when the café started trading here, and how it and the furniture shop divide the building are all things Cloud7 could clear up in a sentence, and has not.

- Cloud7 operates an established branch at 7 Handel Parade, Edgware, HA8 6LD — business“Cloud7 is located at 7 Handel Parade, Edgware, London HA8 6LD... halal Mediterranean dishes”
- Cloud7's own Hornsey webpage gives two contradictory sets of opening hours for the same branch — business“One section states 'Tuesday – Friday – 9:00 am – 6:00 pm...' However, the footer indicates 'Mon – Sun 8:00 am – 6:00 pm' for Hornsey.”
- A Cloud7 Facebook post states the business opened in Hornsey 'last week' but carries no verifiable publish date — business“We were thrilled to open our doors in Hornsey last week! 🙌”
- Judgement: A Cloud7 TikTok video refers to a soft launch on 'Monday 4th November' but its own publish date could not be verified, so the year cannot be established
- Judgement: The exact commercial arrangement between Cloud7 and the antiques/vintage furniture emporium occupying the same address is unconfirmed
- Judgement: Framing the café as one of the more unexpected places to eat in N8, on the basis that the same address is known as an antiques and vintage furniture emporium.
- Judgement: The menu is priced for a sit-down brunch rather than a takeaway coffee (characterisation of the verified £12.90-£14.95 price range).
- Judgement: Advising readers to check the hours before going, given the two different sets published by the café itself.
- Judgement: Treating the opening date and the sharing arrangement as the questions the café itself should answer.
