Lowry & Baker

I went to have breakfast around 10am on saturday, after reading the review on this place, unfortunately i was really let down. What i want from a cute independant coffee establishment is friendly, happy staff who are attentative but relaxed, instead we got snubbed before we sat down, without even a glimpse of a smile from the 3 staff members standing around. to then be ignored further whilst they all unloaded one dish washer. i work in the industry and believe it is polite and good service to acknowledge all your customers, however cool the place may be. I would seriously recommend scrapping this place and going opposite to Bluebelles of Portobello, where you will be greeted, made to feel special and they serve up great coffee and brunch!... http://www.qype.co.uk/place/2618240-Bluebelles-of-Portobello-London

Love love love it here.

Forgot to rate!

Try the eggs benedict with tarragon hollandaise! Yum!!

Fantastic place. My girlfriend and I have been steadily working our way through the cafes near her flat and this is the banker: friendly people, nice atmos and exceptional food. The salmon brunch is amazing. Salads, also, are special. It's small and can get cramped but as long as you're willing to squeeze in, it's well worth it.

Thanks for nothing. We walked in, made an order of two cold drinks and a brownie etc. Place wasn't crowded and five members of staff stood around. We checked politely after 20 mins, to no avail and left after forty not having had a thing; by then all the other cafes were full and we couldn't be seated. Ignorant, amateurish establishment

Money and time I won't get back and my dignity knocked to boot...couldn't have any cakes or pasties because the co-owner serving us had a cold, blew her nose into a snotty tissue and then handled all the cakes which had been prematurely packaged away presumably because the owners of this over-rated and pretentious establishment don't really give a crap about serving potential patrons. Treated as if we were a nuisance and served what was no better than mediocre tea by a surly and impatient young woman. One of the worst experiences I've had in the area and enough to make me want to sing the virtues of bloody patisserie Valerie...Avoid this place in favor of the less-hyped, better value and frankly more honest and authentic places on Golborne Road...
