Popped over for the first time for some breakfast / brunch as heard good things about it. The coffee is good, the food is good (not quite as much salt beef as brick lane bagels and compared to other cafes you less food (specifically in the full english) for your money, service was friendly and it wasn’t too crowded. I feel like if it was busier, the tables are a little close together but would recommend the place.
I went in to The Lounge on Saturday and ordered an english breakfast and a smoothie which was delicious! There was a worker called Immy who was really helpful and had excellent customer service. The smoothie she made was lovely and she was a very polite girl. Will definitely be back! :)
I’m a regular visitor to the lounge. The owner Jackie and her staff Millie and Ella just to mention two of the staff are committed to make sure you get top service along with top quality food , hot drinks cold beverages including healthy smoothies and snacks. Totally recommended. Daryl
Have come to visit here quite frequently. Staff are always so friendly and welcoming and the food is exceptional. As part of the Greek community I cannot fault their panini’, pure Cypriot heaven. Thank you for your 5* service always!
Absolutely wonderful place! A large group of us needed an open,welcoming space with delicious well priced food & we found The Lounge! Nothing was too much trouble. We went 2 weeks on the trot as a large group they reserved the back seating for us. Such lovely ladies who served us. Friendly & caring! It's my new favourite place to eat when in the area. Thankyou ladies for both Fridays incredible lunches
