Lantana Fitzrovia

OMG.... Book in advance if you can. We had an amazing breakfast here, I went for the pork belly benedict which was great but my partner lucked out BIG time with the BBQ Beef brisket hash. Ridiculously good. Coffee was amazing too and very friendly and quick service. Both helped perk us up after a later night than we should really have had at our age.... Highly recommend!

Highly recommend. Food was 10/10. I had the Turkish eggs with roasted vegetables and a side of chorizo. My friend got the beef brisket hash. We both really enjoyed the food. The coffee was excellent. We booked for 3pm so it was pretty chilled and not packed. We sat outside as it was a lovely day. Service was perfect.

Came here for brunch with a friend on Saturday. Glad that we had booked a table beforehand because it was quite packed at 12noon. I have previously been to their other branch in Shoreditch so am quite a regular customer and am aware that different branches have different menus. My friend is vegan and she suggested we come here again because she had a great food experience last time. I went with the lemon and raspberry french toast and a flat white and my friend ordered the avocado poke bowl and a fresh orange juice. My french toast was alright because it was quite dry with every limited amount of raspberry jam sauce around the plate and the lemon crème fraiche in the middle which wasn't sufficient to make the toast bread softer and easier to eat. The sauce was good but definitely would have appreciated a lot more of it especially with the hazelnut crumbles that absorbed a lot of the jam. Flat white was average. My friend enjoy her poke bowl and said that there could have been more rice to go with all the toppings she had. I enjoyed the food I had last two times in the Shoreditch branch so was quite disappointed with the experience this time. Service wise, staff were all very friendly, smiley and attentive. Vibe wise it was cost and chill. But the table was very small to fit in two plates, two cups and a bottle of tap water. They really need to do something about it because the space is tight and people were so loud so it was really hard to talk freely when we were there. Not sure if I would come back soon in the near future as it's also quite a pricey brunch place compared to other cafés around East London.

A gorgeous cafe. We couldn’t get a table as it was booked out but I just wanted to leave a positive review as the waiter who spoke to us was so kind and went out of his way to recommend an alternate place for us to eat in the area. It’s quite rare you experience such good service and we will certainly be back to visit the cafe in the future. I’ve heard the food is excellent so it’s no surprise it is so popular!

Had a nice time at Lantana Cafe, but not sure it’ll be my go-to spot. The food was good - every dish tasted fresh and the portions were generous enough; the coffee was also good. The fair is standard Australian brunch, i.e., corn fritters or a hip take on the full English. Service was somewhat lacking - our table wasn’t ready when we arrived for our booking and we had to wait. The staff was not particularly enthusiastic, but at least didn’t hover. And we were given our check without asking for it well in advance closing time. In short, while the food was good and the place nicely designed, it lacks the hospitality I’d want to give it the full five stars. It is, however, a reliable brunch spot where we were able to get a table not too long in advance, and in London - that counts for something.

Came here on a busy Sunday afternoon. We decided to sit outside as we had no idea what to do. We were eventually served and had a nice coffee. The coffee is OK, pretty standard cafe coffee but nothing out of this world to be honest. The food, although we did not get looked absolutely incredible and the table next to us enjoyed theirs very much. Overall, nice but nothing crazy. Maybe just come for the food.
