AboutAbout Morr

Morr is a shared dream of three friends who wanted to create something more than just a cafe on Upper Street in Islington. This all-day spot serves exceptional coffee alongside a seasonal menu of small plates that evolve from breakfast through brunch to dinner service on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

The atmosphere strikes a balance between neighbourhood warmth and contemporary cafe culture, with an inviting interior and outdoor seating that's proved popular with locals. Customers appreciate the attention to detail in both the coffee preparation and the thoughtfully composed dishes, from morning pastries and focaccia to evening small plates featuring ingredients like chorizo, aubergine, and seasonal specials.

Dog owners will be pleased to know that dogs are welcome both inside and outside, making it an excellent choice for a coffee or meal with your four-legged companion. The accessible layout includes step-free entry and wheelchair-accessible facilities throughout.
