Fabulous and friendly service paired with delicious, freshly made food. We ordered the chicken and waffles and a full English breakfast—both were excellent. You could really taste that the waffles and fried chicken were made from scratch, and the quality of the meat was top-notch. Great value for money, too. Highly recommend!

I dropped by Lavinia Wallington and tried their crispy kiribath with strawberry matcha and I’m still dreaming about it. The kiribath was perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and comforting inside, and paired with the delicate sweetness of the strawberry matcha, it was nothing short of heavenly. It’s such a unique twist on a traditional dish creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the space had such a cozy, inviting vibe. Can’t wait to go back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a flavour-packed experience with a Sri Lankan soul and a modern touch.

Was at Lavinia cafe with a friend and had an amazing time there. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to give us a nice experience. The venue was beautiful and the atmosphere was amazing for a brunch. The service by Ann and Damien was superb. The food was delicious, and complemented the vibrant. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be recommending this place to everyone. We’ll be back again soon! And one thing if you are a chai lover you should try their Chai Spice Latte

Very nice pleasant surprise today! We had lunch and the food was tasty, fusion of western with a hint of Sri Lankan favour. The staff were friendly. If you want somewhere good for a chat with friends and want a break from typical English cafes, this would be a perfect choice. We were told on Fri-Sun afternoon they have special menus (see photo). We will definitely be back again!

Went to lavinia and they were really welcoming ! Hospitality was at its best. The atmosphere is calm and well maintained. The dishes were not pricy compared to a cafe at this range. Loved the twist they have done in their dishes. I tried the lamb dish and that was something I would go for again! Chef make can checked on us. Something I don’t see in many places and they were paying very close attention to all cusotmers. Keep up the good work.

Just had breakfast here. Lovely interior, tasty, exquisitely presented food, delicious milk shakes, and a very friendly, genuine general manager who was also a waiter here on the day! I hope this cafe takes off as it truly deserves it, thank you
