Barbarista

'Otto Man' sounds like a German brand: in the logo, at least - otherwise it's obviously 'the Ottoman' (Turk).

 

Turkish barber shops have mushroomed all over London (and the country). Some say they are 'laundromats' (a front for 'other' business) but, to be honest, most provide an excellent service and pleasant experience. Even the most humble ones, and this one's a bit special, as befits the picturesque Camden Passage.

And - while all offer courtesy Turkish tea, this one has a proper Espresso bar: a dual-purpose business, as the sign says ;)
