Ivan's Retreat in Lambeth

the grilled ricecakes and matcha were really good

Thank you Mithu! I look forward to the tasty pasties after a long journey and the friendly staff who always smile and provide great customer service.

You should go, but not without a reservation

This is a review for the Atrium Cafe, but I'm posting here also. I didn't end up buying anything here as I had an odd and off-putting interaction with at least 2 staff. One black bob hair, the other shaved mullet with LGBT pins. I was standing in front of them when they were making eye contact with me as they whispered to eachother and giggled - with zero tact or subtlety. When asked for the 5th time in less than 30 seconds if I wanted to order anything (they don't leave you alone for a second!) I firmly said 'No' - after that behaviour. Black bob said "Even better - then we don't have to go to the effort of making anything for you." I was quite shocked by the bad attitude. I work in customer service and I know difficult customers, and I didn't do or say anything to warrant that attitude. You should employ adults rather than these silly girls who are obviously bitter about being on the counter rather than on stage.
