Top-class cafe.. the owners are friendly, helpful, polite. I was in a group and they made sure we could all sit together. The food is classic and tasty. Reasonably priced and they have a pretty wide offer. Service was quick too.

Was recommended the cafè by powerflow exhaust shop down the road, went down there while waiting, had a lovely breakfast (set6) as shown in picture did swap the beans for mushrooms though, had a cappuccino too with the breakfast, was so nice had to go back for a second one. Atmosphere was chilled out, staff was lovely and respectable, food was fresh and quick, toilets on site for paying customers, few shops outside and parking too.

The food is always nice as is the staff, they have a good Turkish breakfast and the music reminds me of a nice beach holiday, very enjoyable all round.

Appropriate minimalist interior. Located in the sole remnant of the original 1970’s Brutalist conception, clamped to the northern shoreline over Southmere Lake The coffee was good - not too bitter, just the way I like it. I wasn’t hungry. The staff were welcoming, obliging and efficient. An uncompromising view over the lake: a panorama that gives no quarter to sentiment nor regret. Now authentic we like, wouldn’t have it any other way. And found it here. Recommended.

Live across from lakeside cafe and didn't realize there was a cafe there. A nice stop for a drink or light lunch when walking around southmere lake

Super welcoming cafe with incredible wraps, soups, and coffee. The roasted red pepper halloumi wrap is delectable and affordable. Very friendly staff and great views of the lake and surrounding wildlife.

Stopped here for brunch during a bike ride. Delicious, healthy food, great service, and a lovely lake view with ducks. Definitely recommend!

Made discovery of this place today and to my surprise the ceasar salad was the best I’ve had in London. They also do decaf coffee. Very affordable place with good food Smiley and service minded staff Would be six stars if there was such Will be coming now more often
