Harden's says

Opening a bakery seems to be what every restaurateur is up to these days... the team from Jolene are on the bandwagon, took over a former air conditioning shop to open a bakery and restaurant in September 2020; fka Big Jo Bakery.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

From the same hipster-favourite stable as Primeur and Westerns Laundry, this eat-in artisan bakery between Finsbury Park and Holloway serves a small, simple menu from the blackboard as well as pâtisserie and brunchish fare from breakfast onwards. Feedback is relatively limited, but one Hornsey reporter feels it’s “worth crossing north London for”.

In September 2020, the Jolene (Primeur, Westerns Laundry) team opened a spin-off between Finsbury Park and Holloway: a sizeable eat-in café overlooking the street with floor-to-ceiling windows and serving pâtisserie, salads and a selection of pizza and pizza fritta (deep-fried calzone).

Reviewed 9 months, 22 days ago

"Fun buzzy hipstery joint, excellent pizzetta, fab roasted leeks in sauce gribiche. shared tables or bar adds to the fun, similar to related Westerns Laundry. Same preference for natural wines, not for everyone or universally successful but decent range. All in all, good food and nice atmosphere. Slight tendency to "Bistromathics" where the bill slightly surprises...£3 for one and half slices o homemade bread feels cheeky."
