Brilliant all round but please get some marmalade to go with the toast. Jam for breakfast ugh! Otherwise a great experience.

Lovely food and cakes but not somewhere you can catch up with friends. It does get busy so once you’ve finished you’ll need to leave to let someone else who is paying for a meal have the table. Shame as I used to recommend to others to meet here but now I’d only go on solo visits for a quick bite.

Nice enough local cafe and service was fine, but the food was a little average. Corned beef pie and chips was bland, would have preferred home made chips over frozen. Jacket potato was nice, although white onion on a side salad is a bit weird. Cakes were really good! Would return for coffee and cake but not food.

Family of 6 had breakfast this morning and then another round of coffee and cakes. I can’t put my finger on it but felt we were a inconvenience to the staff. Plenty of empty tables but they wanted rid of us. We were there about an hour.

I was visiting last week from abroad and decided to try this coffee shop. It was so good i went back the next day. What a lovely place, it beautifully simplistic in its design, super clean with great friendly staff. Excellent menu and scones to die for! Well done to the team, next time I am in the area I will certainly be popping in

Updated. Note to owners, please do something about the chain curtain in the entrance doorway. In the current COVID-19 climate, this is a really bad idea and contributes to spreading the virus. EDIT to reply to owner comment: Apologies, did not mean to offend you, only offer feedback. But I did not repremand your staff, I politely suggested to pass on the concern. Also, I definitely came in with a mask and wore it, but your staff said I was early for my pickup, so I bought a coffee from your shop and took my mask off to drink that while I waited.

Been 4 times and the service is just too slow. Can get the same quality food, in regards to your chips, you can get much better quality for the same price. Always waiting for a simple order. It took you longer to find out if you had a burger than it did to actually cook my sausage sandwich order...

Fabulous little café. Great food (hot and cold) and a lovely welcome from the lady behind the counter. Stop reading this and get yourself down there! Pro tip: parking is on the road out front, so be careful of the double yellow lines. And the bus traffic, of which there is quite a lot. Finally, be aware that the menu is across assorted boards inside, so if at first you don't see what you want, keep looking ... or just ask, like I did!

As I'm originally from Lemington once someone recommended this I knew I had to try it, for old times sake. It had a few options for breakfast, which suited my partner, whereas I always just get the largest one the place has. She took the Skinny Breakfast option, which included scrambled eggs, and said it was just the right sized breakfast for her. I enjoyed my large breakfast although the one thing I would have liked is maybe nicer sausages. However, for the price, and the fact it was fairly local for breakfast it is somewhere I will definitely return.

We visited this coffee shop recently after visiting a family member in a near by home. The cafe was quiet in the front. Looked really nice. People I was with decided to sit in the back as it was cooler. There was a couple of people there with babies. Sat chatting. After they left their table was a complete mess as was other tables. Staff were not busy, but no one cleared the mess. I had a cheese scone, that was dry. I left it. Will not be returning, and people I was wuth me agreed. Not impressed at all.

Couldn't have asked for anymore from Lou and Coffee on the Corner! Booked a baby shower here which was fab! The shop opened on a Sunday for us because of our party size which was great as we had the place to ourselves. We were able to decorate the room exactly how we wanted to and it looked perfect. The food was delicious, we paid for food for 15 people with 11 of us attending and there was plenty of food and they catered for a gluten free. I can't wait to come back again for afternoon tea! Thanks again Lou, we had an amazing afternoon.

Had got a groupon voucher for 2 big daddy breakfasts which comes with a hot drink, when asked what drink I would like I said hot chocolate, to be told I would have to pay for that but it doesn’t say tea or coffee it just says breakfast and hot drink! So not a good start this should be made clearer! Then breakfast arrives looks lovely only to find a long black hair in it as soon as it’s placed down in front of me. The response I got well it’s not my hair!! Well it’s not mine either and it’s just came out of your kitchen! I was then offered another breakfast cooked from fresh but my friend had to then sit and eat hers while I waited for mine to be re-cooked. If this was any other place you would have been offered ur breakfast for free as a courtesy for hair being in my breakfast and then made to wait for another breakfast But coz I had already paid for it on groupon I wasn’t offered anything wasn’t happy at all to be honest and won’t be back it’s put me right off!

Great food, great coffee and not forgetting the cakes. Coffee on the corner has a sophisticated air about it seems more like the kind of place you'd find in the centre of town rather than a suburb. Lot's of regulars (such as my family) and lovely staff. Brightens up the whole area:)

Four of us had afternoon tea here and the portions were generous with a selection of white and brown sandwiches with beef, ham and cheese fillings. Scones with cream jam and fresh strawberries and three types of home made cakes too. Be prepared to take a good appetite as this is very filling. The cafe was very popular with others both as a takeaway and eating in. We will come back here again.

Came here with a Groupon deal and couldn't have been more pleased.Lovely little cafe, warm, cosy and bright. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.Great all day breakfast with nice big mugs of tea and coffee. Plenty on the plate with the standard breakfast, don't think we could have managed the bigger one!One big bonus is you can normally park right outside the cafe.All in all a very nice experience and we will be back a gain.

I’d walked three miles to visit this cafe where my wife, daughter and dog regularly visit, and I wasn’t disappointed....my feet ached and I was desperate for a pot of tea which quickly came with a full English breakfast which was irresistible. First though, the staff provided my dog with a drink...good priority. Fried egg, two sausages, bacon beans, and tomato, all served on brown toast....altogether, with a pot of tea it came to £7 25.... chilled, fed, and good crack with tge locals about local history....I’ll be back...( I said it long before Arnie)

My wife and I made a reservation here after hearing a lot of good reviews. It was early on a Saturday evening. Hibou Blanc is divided into two separate parts - the larger area being the bar, which was heaving, even at this early hour. The restaurant is a smaller area, a little apart from the clamour of the bar. The lighting in both parts is low but the tables in the restaurant have atmospheric downlighting and the whole place has a private club style to it, with comfortable seating at the tables and Chesterfield couches in the bar. The atmosphere is therefore pleasant but there is noise from the bar and lots of hubbub from the neighbouring tables. The service was excellent. Several staff attended our table and answered questions about the food and drinks. Empty plates were quickly replaced with full ones and the staff were quick to offer help. Max was mostly at our table and he was great. The food is on the pricey end of the spectrum and we had a little of a mixed bag, though mostly good. The dishes are all well presented. My mackerel arriving in an enjoyable sauce and a side of dough bread and my wife's venison terrine looking very appealing. Both dishes were nice. My main was the fish of the day - trout and this is where my only disappointment with Hibou Blanc lies. The portion of trout - not an expensive or rare fish was tiny and the potatoes seemed undercooked to me. Thankfully, my better half had splashed out and ordered the lobster which came with some chips, she shared with me. Her lobster did look and taste very nice though and ther was enough of a portion for her. Enough to pass on some delicious chips to me. She thought the lobster was nice too. The desserts were the most enjoyable course. Though I am not usually one to eat dessert, the dark chocolate mousse with cherries and cream was delicious. My wife ordered the Almond Financier - which to our surprise and relief had nothing to do with spreadsheets or large financial operations. Both were very enjoyable.. One other thing that was great was the cocktails. We had 'Old Fashioned's - a very tasty blend of orange and Maker's Mark bourbon. Possibly the best version of this, I have ever had. It was slightly cheaper and tastier than the one I had just enjoyed at Mother Mercy's, which we had been to previous to this. We had a caraffe of Sauvignon Blanc and the final bill added to around £75 each with an automatically added service gratuity.

I'm changing my reviews from 5 to 1 star as the service was very humiliating! I went with my children in the morning for breakfast before her GCSE exam to calm her down but unfortunately totally the opposite happened. Order wasnt served and everyone order even people after us was served. I reminded her with my order she said i'll give it take away! Ok. I asked for disposable forks, she came throwing bunch of metal forks on my table! I went to say I need disposables she gave them to me very angry! I am the one who should be angry as we didn't get what we want! I was very sad and decided to go to speak to her after dropping children off to school. I told her that wasn't right and not accepted and we were very disappointed! The other girl came very rudely saying she got your point and now do you need a free drink! Is this the way to treat your mistakes! Not apologizing but giving free drinks! What a shame! We loved this place and was very convenient being next to school! But we have loads of other options now!

Leaving a review for the pottery shop side of things, not the food; I've now had two mugs from the pottery shop at Kiln (one was a replacement for the first), both suffered cracking of the glaze on the inside within just a couple of uses (note: I only hand washed both mugs). Cracks in glaze are not food safe as they can harbour bacteria but also the mug just looks a bit crap now, which is annoying after paying quite a lot of money! The fact it has happened twice suggests an issue with the manufacturing, a real shame because they look great otherwise.
