Kissa Wa CaféA-

15 Corsica St, London N5 1JT · Cafe · Highbury

Serene Japanese-inspired cafe for mindful bowls, onigiri, and standout matcha/hojicha—excellent drinks and calm vibe, with occasional slow service and subtle seasoning on some dishes.

The verdict

Kissa Wa Café delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional matcha and hojicha lattes paired with thoughtful desserts and nourishing bowls, supported by strong operational cleanliness and genuine repeat customer loyalty. Friendly, attentive staff and a warm, minimalist Japanese aesthetic on a quiet street create an inviting neighborhood destination. However, occasional service slowness during peak times and limited seating in a small interior space prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory.

One caveat: Service speed dips during busy periods; some guests report 30–60 minute waits
