Really love this bakery, in the Askew road staff always friendly, nothing is too much trouble, the food is fabulous, great decor!!! Always a pleasure!!! 10/10.
An absolute must visit!! The egg custard tarts are HEAVEN!! Oh & tge breakfasts!! Super friendly lovely staff!! What more could you possibly ask for?? Go go go!!
This place opened just before the recession hit in earnest but the fact that they're always doing brisk business speaks for how utterly amazing the cakes are!! Whoever took over the running of the place is nothing short of a bakery God. Bread, cakes, sandwiches - can't fault any of them. Many are nothing like you've had before, and even simple things like apple pie, once you've tasted them, make you realise you've been short-changed all your life till now. Ok, premium quality asks for premium prices, e.g. Around £2.50 per cake portion, but you will never regret it.
Just moved to the area and this has become our weekend morning spot! We're up before most, so when we go there are plenty of tables, but it does get busier as the day goes on- that's how you know it's good. Coffee is great and the pastries are mouth watering. Staff has been consitant and wonderful. Can't wait for it to be a bit warmer to try out a table out front!
Dececent flat white and a smoothie, busy morning , one staff and he was super, just got on with it. a little weak coffee but not bitter, smoothie was delicious as informed by the recipient
Always so nice in here. The staff are considerate and pleasant. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Great coffee even with oat milk! Love their chai latte - no sugar. Yay!! Their gluten free rye and pumpkin seed bread loaf tastes so good too.
The cafe has a really nice atmosphere, and the staff are so friendly. I went with my family, and there was something for everyone. Coffee was really good, and some of the cakes as well as the breads, were gluten-free, which is not a necessity, but a big plus.
My fiance and I love to stay at cafes like this, just to watch the staff being nice to strangers and the regulars.
I had to take my family of 6, including a grandma in a wheelchair to Gatwick airport, and the manager of the bakery helped us get a taxi, as it turned out to be the cheapest option.
All in all a 5/5. We are wanting to go back to London, just to have a few more days at the cafe.
The best coffee shop in the area. Great hospitality!
Been here a few times. Inviting, warm, bustling atmosphere. Lovely interior, always let me bring my big dog in. Food tastes as good as it looks.
I’ve been a regular customer for a few months now, and it’s the best bakery and cafe in the area. Always fresh high quality bread, lots of vegetarian options of food to have in the cafe. Great customer service, which is important as I always come in with a buggy and feel very welcomed there with my child. Great decor as well and bang changing facilities is a great addition!
Nice place for breakfast. The coffee is excellent and the pasteries are delicious. Looking forward to return
Lavelis is my staple go to every morning before work. The staff know my regular order, Oat Flat White, always a smile and greeting when you come in! The coffee is amazing quality and always prepared perfectly , the staff are lovely! The manager goes above and beyond always!. I recommend the brownies they're delicious as are the pistachio eclairs. They are on the more expensive side of pattiserie however it's worth it and everything is prepared fresh and to a high standard. Coffee is cheaper than your average chain coffee shop and is amazing quality!
Great breakfast, unfortunately we might have mixed up our order but they did change it for us! Thank you.
