Lantana Cafe in Islington

The place and products are great. However, you cannot enjoy them.. it has happened 3/3 during lunchtime to ask to seat for just a coffee and although I am warmly welcome to do so, half an hour later I have been said that the table is needed for people waiting for lunch. I get this for people who stay there for long time. It may be better though for your customers, to let them know the plan from the beginning because they may choose to not have a timed coffee there :) Thanks

This place has gone downhill. The service is still friendly, but very slow and chaotic. My food was missing an extra I ordered, which I raised with the waiter. He was apologetic but still charged me for the extra on the bill. As it was only £1 difference, I couldn't be bothered to wait again to have the bill reissued (as this seems to take them ages). This place used to be a lot better

This cafe is over rated, its the least good food we had in London so far for breakfast, with the most expensive, dont waste your money. Poke bowl is tastless, the duck confit doesnt taste good and very salty, we left it as is. Desserts are good. Tables are sticky and uncomfortable, its too cold inside, green juices are good, however half of the glass is ice, when you remove ice, its half filled with juice. Will not return back or recommend.

Would recommend booking! We managed to get in in between bookings though. The food is top-class (especially their corn fritters) as is the coffee and other drinks. Serving size is perfect for brunch and it's great to see so many vegetarian/vegan options

Really great food - would book ahead as it gets quite busy. I would definitely recommend the duck hash. Few points of improvement - the coffee is far too strong and bitter (I’m saying that as someone who enjoys strong coffee) and also the seating against the wall inside is very short and uncomfortable to sit on for more than 30 mins (i’m not particularly tall so it would be more uncomfortable for someone who had longer legs).

Delicious place for both brunch or lunch! With many healthy options, including vegan and vegetarian. Strongly recommended!

We had weekend brunch here. Good, varied menu with vegetarian and vegan options. Veggie bubble squeak was very good and the fries are also excellent. Very popular so I recommend booking. Even though we had booked we still had a 15min+ wait outside.

Very nice place to get a brunch and nice cup of coffee.Ordered a latte, leans towards the nutty side I’d say; really enjoyed it.As for food, I’ve got the avocado poke ball, personally like it very much because of the short flavours, the sesame dressing works well and the black rice are good too.Plus service overall are great, will be back.

Delicious fresh food, we struggled to decide what to have, we wanted it all! I was very happy with my cheddar and courgette bread with bean salad, poached egg and chorizo. Then we all shared an apple and pear cinnamon French toast ☺️🍳😋

Great place to go for brunch. Would recommend booking in advance on the website to get a table. Lots of cute outdoor seating on a pedestrian only street. Lots of good menu options with half the options being vegetarian. Food is well seasoned- overall a nice spot!
