Reviews


This cafe offers standard menu options with great service and friendly staff. While some found the coffee and food quality to be disappointing, others raved about dishes like courgette fritters and chai latte. The place is recommended for a relaxed breakfast experience, with a comprehensive menu and a husband and wife team running the show. Regular customers love the Shakshuka and the unique Indian influence on the menu, while first-time visitors praise the delicious eggs benedict and excellent coffee. Overall, a great spot for a satisfying and memorable meal, on average, the rating for Café Lua is 4.
