What User doesn't like about The Lion and Buffalo:
Although in a handy location near the coastal walk the food and coffee at this place are not up to standard. Breakfast was a big disappointment and not offering lactose free milk is a little baffling these days. The owner does make an effort when it comes to service and caters for dog owners and cyclists. It is just a shame that the food and coffee let it down. View all feedback.

We love breakfast at L&B! Anya and the team are super helpful, the coffee excellent and the food is great. Tip: try the brekkie porridge.

Amazing service, great atmosphere. Will be my regular weekend spot . Love it

Food service is good … but very overpriced .I wouldn’t rush back there, as there are plenty of other places that are just as good…, but not as expensive…
