Cafe Lemon in Haringey

Amazing coffee great atmosphere in Tottenham

Disorganised. We were five people, they forgot one person's order completely and only cooked it after we made a fuss. Another meal was incorrect. All the cutlery was dirty. It is way too crowded for the number of tables they have.

amazing service and music, their matcha latte is a must-have

Cafe Lemon is a true gem among cafes. I recently took my girlfriend there, and we were both delighted by the atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, we felt very welcomed and comfortable. We chose a table by the window, which turned out to be the best decision. The seats were incredibly cosy, and the view outside added a special charm to the whole experience. We ordered coffee and a slice of cake each, and I must say, we were pleasantly surprised. Not only were the prices reasonable, but the culinary experience was also top-notch. The taste of the coffee and cake will stay with us for a long time. I wholeheartedly recommend Cafe Lemon to anyone looking for a place with a unique atmosphere and excellent food. We will definitely return many times. We dream of having our photo on the wall among other regulars, so we'll surely be visiting more often. Best regards!

Friendly place, good food and wide selections

Good atmosphere, nice food, pleasant service and a very creative interior decoration. We will definitely come here again!

Was a little disappointed with the breakfast, but was ok

cosy and beautiful little cafe. not a biggest portions but definitely high quality ingredients. Will highly recommend 👍🏻

Lovely, good cooked food. lots of options including veggie & vegan. Very friendly and I liked how retro the vibes was. And all the internal decorations. Also has a garden which has a cover from the rain.

Cute little place with a very charming atmosphere. Very welcoming and friendly and they do nice coffee. The kitchen area looks a bit scruffy and greasy...but the staff and atmosphere make up for it.

There are a few vegan options, but they are delicious... I love the Turkish late. Don't forget to ask for the smoothie list!

Perfect vegan English breakfast!

Nice food and quite atmosphere!

I came across the Lemon Café randomly the first day we arrived in Seven Sisters. While wondering the area we saw the vibrant yellow colors of the building and it enticed us to go inside or it was my rumbling stomach. From the moment we entered the building we were met with a loving atmosphere and a delicious smell of breakfast food and coffee warming us from the cold outside. The staff is from Turkey and you really see this through there antique décor. While bringing a little bit of their home they make you feel like you’re at home. The food as well was absolutely amazing and if you going for a visit I would recommend getting you first English Breakfast at this establishment.

Great quality food and a nice homely atmosphere

Wonderful place. It really feels like the owner takes good care about it. Definitely worth visiting.

I came here to grab a coffee as I thought I would try a new place and support my local businesses. When I walked in the smell in the place was awful. Smelt like dirty oil. I got 2 coffees and both tasted like washed down water. No coffee taste whatsoever. I will not be coming back here. Which is a shame!

First time sitting in at Cafe Lemon. Lovely decor, super friendly staff. Food was delicious and the homemade limonata was refreshing - at affordable prices too. Lots of vegetarian options and baby friendly. Highly recommend.

Lovely place and very sweet staff- food was also nice - however there were quite a few fruit flies flying everywhere which just made you feel abit gross and that something was dirty or left unmanned…aside from that tho the place was pretty and I enjoyed my French toast !

Ordered the Lemon Breakfast- it was not fresh. Unable to eat it - too greasy and it seemed like it might have been cooked a while ago and reheated. Scrambled egg had turned a dark colour- presumably because it was cooked in the same pan as everything else so picked up all the dark frying oil ? The sourdough toast was good - one star for the sour dough toast. Everything else went in the bin.

Cute little place where never expected.....Peopele are so friendly and relaxed . Thoroughly enjoyed for a little coffee and sandwitch break during a long walk....

Quirky little cafe with great food and service.

Always love a trip this cafe. Great music and very friendly staff who will even take your Polaroid picture for their wall of fame. Lovely breakfast and splendid veggie burgers and sweet potato fries. Next time I’ll try the grilled seabass. Check out the book shelves in the back too. See you soon. Yours truly, Penfold x

Lovely little cafe; excellent vibes, very courteous staff, very good coffee and a hearty English breakfast.

I usually visit the Lemon Cafe for my morning coffee since it's conveniently on my way from home to the station. Today, when I ordered my usual coffee, I noticed the man was pouring coffee from a milk jug and reusing oat drink. I politely asked him to use fresh coffee from the machine. He seemed surprised and asked, "Isn't it fresh it is from this morning ?" I was shocked by his answer i thought he was about to correct his mistake.I explained it should be fresh from the machine, and I told him it was my last day there before walking away. As far as I know, coffee freshness can be affected once it's pulled from the machine.

Lovely atmosphere, but I'll let the picture speak for itself... Also, I visited several times, and in most instances my order was wrong (e.g. receiving the meat option instead of the vegetarian one), which is fine, but what I got now is on a new level...

A cozy little cafe in Seven Sisters with good food and I might add excellent coffee! Highly recommended.

Warm and friendly welcome at this lovely independent cafe. All day brunch and burgers were great as was the turkish latte. We all enjoyed what we ordered. Thank you!

Very good breakfast, nice Staff and place. Thank you!

Didn't get my toast with the breakfast but the sausages are absolutely delicious

Excellent service-lovely and peaceful

Cute place, people are very nice, perfect spot for work or study

cute and cosy cafe with good breakfast options. i’ve never tried their main meals but their english breakfasts are slightly fancy and very delicious. the owner is very kind and will recognise you after a few visits

As a person of colour it felt off-centre that most patrons were not considering the environment of 7 sisters..and that's cool - pls don't be triggered! considering this is a predominantly ethnic demographic. That being said it's a very nice place & very Hipster they obviously cook food from scratch and yes I would go again so please take the positives 🙏 Namaste

Great place and great English breakfast. Very kind staff! Will definitely be back.

Always a warm welcome, interest in customers and excellent food and service 🍋

Great quality ingredients BUT I find it odd that a cup of tea was not included in the price and just a couple slices of toast. It's on West Green Road, hardly gentrified so no need for Shoreditch-esque breakfast.

The coffee here is very good. If you sit here and drink a cup of coffee, your mind will be refreshed and you will feel like you are feeling the replacement. I can say that the coffee here is very good from my experience.

I am happy that I found this cafe so nice and cozy, I ate the best Florentine eggs, and the lemonade here is delicious, the decor makes you feel like you are on a trip to Turkey and the staff is so friendly, kind, makes you feel special, I will definitely come back!!!

Lovely breakfast options, vegan and veggie alternatives. Great atmosphere, welcoming and friendly.

Nice cafe, lovely breakfast and friendly staff.

Had eggs benedict. The hollandaise sauce was so cold is seemed like mayonnaise and one of the eggs was overcooked to be a poached egg. Probably the kitchen was still closed and they used hollandaise sauce made the previous day which was inside the fridge

Portions are small but tasted good

My favourite cafe in the area, delicious breakfasts and coffee, friendly atmosphere and good service.

We discover this restaurant seeking to have a British breakfast. On one hand we had a perfect breakfast but on the other hand we met a lovely and friendly owner passionated by his restaurant. Thanks to him for such nice moment

Cosy, beautiful and very tasty Recommending

The food and coffee are good. Staff is very friendly.

Very rude I had to rush my food because the waiter wanted to go home

Local favourite for simple but delicious meals. Good portions and good value for money.

Love this place! The atmosphere is amazing! Great coffee and really good value! The Turkish owner is so lovely and friendly! I had the English breakfast, it really nice! Recommended 👌

It's very near to my place and whenever I want a silent space to sit while having great cup of coffee I come here! A must visit peaceful space!

Absolutely delicious! Staff are really friendly and chatty. Interior is lovely and cosy. Best hash browns I’ve ever had!!!

First time back here in a while. Used to get a take away coffee a couple of times a week until witnessed the cook/chef (?) and the barrista laughing behind the backs of a couple of young black girls who had just ordered flat white coffees and a plate of chips each. Annoyed me as any business should be appreciated and no one looked down on! There are plenty of other local cafes if this is their view.

Have recently moved to the area, and been using this café as my remote office space, until home internet gets sorted. The owners are very polite and accommodating, the WIFI is good, food is nice, and it seems to be used by the local community. There is outside seating and tables by the window to watch the lively West Green Rd. My fav spot is by the window, warm sun on your back, soft music and I can conquer any excel sheet ! Do support this local business.

Great food and coffee. Owner has done nice job of decorating

I would highly recommend this lovely cafe with warm vibe. The host is very friendly and hospitality. I bet it is the treasure cafe in Tottenham area.

Beautiful ambiance, good quality ingredients, fair price, friendly service, fresh juices abs healthy food options, alongside more indulgent dishes. A stand out amongst so much choice in the area.

Lovely breakfast place, came to cure our hangover and left full and satisfied 🥰 paid a lot more than I usually do for a big English lol but it’s a lovely vibe and fits in well with upcoming gentrified Tottenham

Just walked out after waiting for 45 minutes and didnt even have an order taken for coffee let alone the breakfast that I was in for. While I waited I saw very slow service for others as well, they need another employee desperately for a Sunday morning. What a waste of my time.

Tasty food for pre-match but bread wasn't toasted and service was slow.

Sipariş vermek için çok bekledik ama genel olarak memnun ediciydi, işletme sahibi nazikti.

I've had a few meals here and can strongly recommend this lovely little cafe. Great quality service with very accommodating staff and a warm, bright interior with a relaxing vibe. The food is very good quality for the price (I can recommend the wraps, all day English breakfast and the eggs Benedict - I've yet to try the lunchtime burgers but very much looking forward to). The fresh juices are very refreshing, the hot chocolate and coffees are also very good quality. And there's a good selection of cookies, cakes and pastries. Please see my photos for the look of the food.

There is always issues when I order from here which never seem to get resolved, this time my order was “delivered”. Not only did I not get any food but the stupid driver didn’t even call/message me. My order says Delivered so there for the option of saying you haven’t received your order isn’t even there, which mean I get no refund for my stolen order.

Absolutely delicious - fresh and refreshing - and the staff are phenomenal! Super friendly, great atmosphere, very cozy and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

I got the Lemon English breakfast and the lemonade and they were both SO good. The person at the front who I assume is the owner was so lovely and gave me such a warm welcome to the neighborhood. I will definitely be back!

I had all my food soaked in a smoothie that had opened and not only have I not got a reply from just eat but the options of refund aren’t there anymore, more is any other choice for help… so that’s £27 gone an average persons 3 hour wage, thank you again just eat 👍

It’s really a very nice cafe. Staffs are so cooperative with good service. Foods are very delicious with reasonable price and quantity. We love cafe lemon. We want to visit the cafe once in a week

Some of the best coffee and breakfast I have ever had, it was sooo good, I came back the next day. I wish we were staying in London longer so I could try other things on the menu. I highly recommend the French toast. Yummnm. Thank you Cafe Lemon for the kind hospitality and amazing lattes.

So many great items in the menu, this cafe has been a real life saver since moving to the area. Would recommend! Also some good vegetarian options

Food was normal . Egg omelet was disappointing.

Excellent accueil, cuisine maison, simple mais produits frais. Nous avons déjeuné et petit déjeuner deux fois, notre hôtel était à proximité

Turkish eggs were not Turkish enough, they came without proper Aleppo pepper butter (think it was vegetable oil with two brown chilli flakes in it), four pomegranate seeds that were anaemic and very small portion for the price. Very disappointed, could have made it better myself.

Lovely food as always!! Highly recommended

I ate here plenty of times, food was always great, staff is friendly and attentive. I will keep coming back.

Not the cheapest cooked breakfast, and not the biggest either, but absolutely delicious and worth every penny. The limonata is to die for and the coffee is very tasty and a class above what you would usually find in most cafés. I'll definitely be going back to treat myself.

I nice local cafe! The Americano was good as was the chicken hot dog ! We definitely need more places like this in Tottenham !

Beautiful rustic cafe with a great menu. Lovely friendly staff and amazing food at great prices.

Had a few breakfasts here. I like the venue a lot, and West Green Lane doesn't have many breakfast places, but the food is a bit so-so lately. Pity as the place is so nice.

Been cafe lemon a few times and didn’t have any issues really. But as a local I was disgusted by the food/service I received this Sunday. The food I received, considering the price gave me really harsh stomach aches and made me ill ruining my Sunday. As a local I like to support good local businesses but it’s unacceptable for £12.50 breakfast meals to be causing illness the same day of eating. The prices don’t match the standard of food and has caused illness for myself. I will not be returning again after this experience.

A cafe with a very nice and welcoming interior design that creates a great first impression, unfortunately this impression fades when you look closer. One of the staff seemed very nice, but vanished a little after I received my initial order, a cappuccino. The other staff, almost like in a good cop / bad cop scenario, was not really friendly or welcoming. When I asked him if he could clean the table, which was pretty dirty, I received a comment that there is a weird rule that one customer can't spend more than 90minutes in the place. The place was 90% empty. After looking at the wall, you notice a paper informing that per person you also need to spend at least 5£ to be seated... I initially wanted to have some food as I read good reviews about it and the menu is quite inspiring, but after taking a look at the kitchen from behind the bar, was quite disappointed by the overall dirtiness of it. And the place had been almost empty several hours prior to that, so it wasn't the consequence of an intense rush, which would be totally understandable. It was rather a sort of accumulated dirtiness that you don't want to see. And the state of the pans that were under my eyes, with the non-stick surface half erased, raised some concerns and made me change my mind about ordering food. The coffee was alright.

Always friendly, always good food whether a meal or shortbread. I also feel very safe (Covid wise) here.

Amazing coffee, lovely shop, 10/10

Post booster brunch... very nice surprise. Sourdough bread toasties, good coffee and lovely service

Friendly staff, tasty food, good coffee, what else would you need for breakfast? 🙂

Terrific quality eats and coffee, fruit juices in Tottenham.

I would not eat here the kitchen looks filthy and the bins are overflowing on the outside round the back of the cafe. The food I had was dripping in grease and even the lemonade I had was very bitter taste. The customer service was bad and the atmosphere was not great. Don't bother!!

Very Tasty food. All day breakfast is great 👍 (Gluten Free Options made Paul very happy)

I’ve been here so many time. I love food and atmosphere. It always lovely to be here to have lunch and relaxing.

I took my mum out for lunch today and thought I’d treat her by taking her here. I thought it looked like a nice little cafe but what a mistake! The food took a very long time to arrive and when it did, my mums was cold. We asked the waiter if they could warm it up but we were spoken to very rudely and felt as though we were inconveniencing them. The food was below average- it was all fatty and slimey on the outside (but somehow tasted dry?!) and we’re really not fussy at all! My poor mum could only manage a few bites it was that bad, but felt too uncomfortable to say anything after how we’d been treated earlier. To top it all off, and this is where we were really put off… upon leaving we had to weave our way through RATS scurrying all around the door. I mean, I know it’s London but the number of them was just shocking and made us really question the hygiene of the place. Maybe it’s no coincidence that we’re both feeling sick this evening… 0 STARS 0/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYBODY!!!

A lovely little cafe with really friendly staff. The food was good, however for the price I would expect a little more for my money. Having said that the food was flavourful and cooked very well. The freshly squeezed orange juice was a stand out for me though. I would definitely recommend.

Friendly, good food at reasonable prices. Small courtyard out the back. Good coffee.

A lukewarm reception during low business with only several other customers seated. Whilst waiting to be served we enjoyed the decor and well executed "lemon" theme. The menu is well printed but has an odd instruction to not stay for more then 90 mins and spend £5 or more. After the tepid entrance this made us feel a little less welcome than standard. Follow this with another warning on the barely visible default letter vomit WiFi password stating to keep use down to an hour. We ordered a peanut banana milkshake and lemonade, both of which were very nice and flavourful. Next was the food. The new special "weekend roast". We asked what was included as sides as a roast with just chips sounded odd. Turns out it was a misprint, so much for the well printed menu. The "weekend roast" consists of your choice of roast meat, sautéed potatoes and spinach with broccoli, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Wanting some sweet potato fries we asked to substitute and got a garbled reply that they cannot and do not change things out. Some vague allusion that it would be troublesome and unfair. Eventually he came back to say we ran out of chicken and they could offer regular sweet potato but not fries. Somewhat of a win but hardly easy to accommodate. Once the food arrived, overall slow for being so vacant of customers, we found it low on gravy and dry. Everything was arranged in a pile more akin to a kebab than a British roast. Experimentation is welcome but the beef we opted for was dry, likely been under a heat lamp for hours and tough. Not at all the silverside tender slices many would be familiar with. The potatoes were not crisp, just sautéed as described but not the comfort one expects in a roast. The spinach seemed to be freshly chopped but not sautéed at all. Peppers and courgettes had been added, further changing the flavour profile from British roast to barbecue. It was all edible but not delectable or inspiring for £11.95 each. For the same price I'd highly recommend Forks and Green down the road. Looking at reviews from the last 5 years, Cafe Lemon has kept it's charming appearance but lost some passion in hospitality and cooking. I hope this isn't a trend as they have had a great history, unfortunately I don't see myself being a part of it as this experience will have me avoiding anything but the lemonade. Upon paying the bill and saying our good-byes we were given a pair of complementary teas, which were absolutely lovely. I wish this establishment better days in the future.

Lovely small cafe with character and local products for sale. We arrived 1 hour before closing and asked the guy running it if he can prepare some dishes for us. He agreed and have them ready in 10 minutes. Nothing to complain about apart from the chips, if they would not use those frozen chuncy chips it would be better.

Genial, me encanta el sitio, pequeño pero cómodo, todo lo q preparan es realmente rico

Lovely cosy cafe on West Green Road Enjoyed my lunch with my son

Nice food and the coffee is really good. Also it does have a cute outdoor area.

Food was to the minimum standard. There was only one vegetarian sausage, the other items in the vegetarian set were average as well. Furthermore the beans that came with it were sealed inside and outside the container. And the hash browns I got were a small portion and were extremely oily? I wasn't impressed. You just lost a customer. Don't buy from these guys.

One of the best cafes in London. Their hot chocolates are amazing! Deep and rich Their fresh ingredients and cater to all dietary types are amazing too. Check out their full vegan breakfast. The staff are always super friendly too!

Freshly made lemonade was so refreshing and delicious
