Great coffee and service. Experience was let down by the quality of the food. My Lantana breakfast was cold! It appears to save time the kitchen cook the sausages, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes in bulk and let them sit on the side in metal trays getting cold. I passed on my feedback to the management! But not sure if the chefs will change this practise! Wouldn’t go again

Bland food, not worth the excessive price. There was missing sour cream in my dish and I had to negotiate with two different waiters to get the missing item. C’mon sour cream is not that expensive that it warrants a lengthy discussion.

I prefer giving excellent reviews however this time I cannot. I find charging £17 for this - a really rude joke. It wasn’t worth more than a half. Small portion, presentation zero, creativity missing, flavours non existent. The place was seriously cold, we were sat there in our jackets! The service was slow plus we had to wait to be actually noticed and there was only us and another table. We also ordered matcha latte which was tiny, cold and sickly sweet that we barely could taste anything else. Not a nice experience and we will not return.

Cute but missed the mark for this price category We had brunch with five people at Latana, the menu and ingredients are good but the preparation and service are lacking — which given we paid 150+ pounds without drinking any alcohol seems out of balance Our food was not brought to the table at the same time, the English muffins were dry, and the avô toast was burned but like actually blackened. Service was clumsy, with poached eggs falling from buns as they were set on the table and basic mistakes (like adding pork to the vegetarian order). Good to give it a try but likely not coming back

14% discretionary service is day light robbery!Feels like you are in USA and it’s the highest we have seen, even for London standards. The brunch and coffee were decent, not extraordinary. Style over substance. Would not recommend based on their outrageous tips and mediocre food.

I had probably my worst brunch experience ever here today. The service was extremely chaotic. It was ridiculous that they failed to put in our order twice. What's even more frustrating was they forgot the poached eggs in my Pork Adobo Benedict... when the restaurant was only 30% full at the time! The manager took off the charges for our coffees that we had to order three times, and the missing poached eggs in the end. But she surely didn't forget to charge us a 14% service fee. Everyone makes mistakes so I would not blame the staff if they’re new. But Lantana as an established hospitality business that runs three locations in London - why should your customer pay for your mismanagement and incompetence?

Me impresionó mucho el tazón de coliflor bang bang, todo parecía muy fresco y limpio, tanta elección y genial para verduras y veganos, básicamente se podía intercambiar la mayoría de las cosas en un tazón para hacerlo propio, el café era hermoso tenía una leche de avena plana blanca que era exuberante. Nuestra camarera era encantador seguía comprobando que estábamos bien! Sin duda volvería!

An all round awful experience. Me and a friend decided to try it as she wanted the bottomless brunch. What an ordeal that was! First of all the service is absolutely abysmal, I felt like we were trying to hold onto sand as we tried to get the waiters attention. Second of all, the food was very underwhelming, there was no love in any of the meals. Lastly, to cap it all off! they charged me and my friend double! and that was after requesting for them to take off the service charge!! I will be going back to the restaurant to get a refund but it was an all round terrible experience and I wont be going back.

Disappointed with the food. Then irate at the bill. Firstly, I was asked if I wanted still or sparkling water. I asked for tap water - which appeared on my bill for £1 - not ok. Then on my bill there’s a £1 donation to charity. And by the way the service charge is 14%(?!) so I’ve been charged nearly £2.50 before I’ve even seen the menu. We opted for small plates. We were seriously disappointed in the quality of the food given the promising menu and reviews. 1. Padron peppers - covered in far too much paprika and not salted. Very bland. Served in a bed of ‘stracciatella’ which had the consistency of cottage cheese. 2. Croquettes - very tasty. 3. Salmon squares. Tasty enough but a rip off at £8 for the portion size 4. Chicken bites - tasty enough, though not enough dip. 5. Truffle flatbread. No taste of truffle at all. More of the cottage cheese. Very few mushrooms. Flavour was dominated by some green herb they had added. Not disgusting but not what we ordered. Was our main event at £18 and we were just so underwhelmed. Restaurant was quite cold, and service was average. We asked for the 14% tip to be removed and the waiter didn’t blink - doesn’t that say it all. We went round the corner to Officina 00 for dessert (which was packed to the rafters by the way!) Would not recommend Lantana.

Decent food, we came as a 3 and ordered the different french toasts. Coffee is average. Our waiter was very friendly, which is always a plus. Disappointed by the atmosphere and seating arrangement. We had booked in advance and were seated at a small and very low round table in the centre of the room- we kept getting hit by passersby since it was squished between all of the other tables. Very cramped and uncomfortable. Extremely loud. Not a pleasant experience at all.

Went for brunch on a Sunday, because it was the only place in the area where we couls find a table. The service was pretty fast. Coffee was good, avocado toast was good, french toast was so and so. But the real surprises came when we paid: * 14% service charge!!! I’ve never seen this anywhere in the UK other than at very fancy restaurants * charged £1 for tap water!! Never been charged for tap water anywhere * the card machine has a step for adding a tip to your total, so if you’re not careful you could be paying even more on top of the default 14% Not nice. Will not come back.

Really overpriced for average food. Think it must be a touristy spot? The corn fritters were quite bland, small portion and lukewarm. The person who served us was moody and we had to keep flagging staff down to take orders/ more water etc. Of course a 14% service charge was added.. I am never a fan of places that add on a charity donation for tap water without asking your consent first. Overall, poor experience wouldn’t return. *meant to post a 1* but can’t edit rating.

Sorry folks, a bit disappointed. I used to be a Lantana regular as I lived in the area. It was always a treat. It's still a ok place to eat but from my last visit I'd say it's pretty average at this stage in it's lifecycle. Our food was fine but nothing particularly exciting about the dishes we ate. I was served a side of dry toast without butter initially and the corn fritters were generally a little lacking in something. Vegan/Veggie options are good. Ambiance is still nice enough although the back room was a little dark. Service was a bit chaotic but friendly. They've switched to the Sunday app since I was last there. I HATE the dark charging patterns of this app. 14% Service charge? (Cool!), Add an additional tip? (I'm sorry what?), Pay a platform fee? (Come on now!) I never understand why the customer is charged an extra platform fee just so we can scan a QR code and save your staff the hassle of a PDQ? I'm actually curious about that one. I'd suggest to the manager "Don't be a cheap and cover your own damn platform fees" Overall it's all...FINE but we're just not particularly fussed about coming back and I never thought I'd say that a few years ago.

Good food. Coffee wasn’t fantastic. The end of the meal left a sour taste in our mouths. Asked for the bill and the server pointed at the QR code. Logged on and not only does the app charge you 80p per transaction (x4 for a party of 4) for doing something to make it easier for the restaurant but we were charged a 14% service charge (you can’t remove it unless you speak to a server which wasn’t possible on a busy Saturday) AND it asked for a tip on top of this 3 times before allowing you to pay via Apple Pay (the tip screen kept popping up every time you declined). 14% service charge, asking for a tip multiple times despite the inflated service charge AND an app charge. Felt like a real grift when service wasn’t fantastic. It’s a shame because the food was good, despite the high prices.

Excellent service and good food. Visited Thursday night. Have a good menu selection. Lots of veggie items as well. I particularly liked the customization of main dishes where you can add things like egg or Halluoumi or chicken. Loved their Mezze board and fries as well. The not so good - don’t have beer on tap. But only cans. - tad expensive compared to what is available around them and the quality. Still worth visiting and trying out Australian food if you fancy.

The chorizo bites were not too bad but would not rush to order again. The prawn dumpling smash tacos were not great at all. Flavourless (unlike a prawn dumpling which usually has lots of flavour) and covered in so much crushed peanuts it’s mostly what you could taste. Would not recommend that main option.

This review is mainly based around the attitude of the Barista who served me my take away coffee...the food at Lantana when I've eaten there in the past has been really good. Just before 10am today (17/6) I went in to buy a takeaway coffee at Lantana Shoreditch, the barista was just miserable, after she finished serving the lady on front of me she just stared at mebwith a blank unsmiling face there wasn't even a basic "Hello or how can I help you?" she maintained this look for the entire time she made the order then just put my coffee down and there wasn't even the basic "Goodbye or have a good day". I'm a hospitality worker myself, I have been for over twenty years and I get people have bad days or they're dealing with issues outside of work but the second you step into work you have to put on a smile and do the basics of your job at least. To top it off I really don't understand the cup/lid choice as it just spills coffee out of the top hole when you're walking and always dribbles after you take a drink.... unfortunately the coffee was at best average as well.

El café era decepcionante, ya que era amargo y fuerte y pedimos que extra caliente y llegó caliente, así que tenía que enviar de vuelta. La comida que vimos salir para otras mesas se veía deliciosa. Usted paga la factura en la mesa escaneando un código QR y tiene la opción de dividir la factura que se tiene y. Aunque hay un pequeño cargo por pagar de esta manera.

The Turkish Eggs at Lantana is one of those meals where you just have to slow down, and take the time to appreciate & enjoy the explosion of different flavours in every mouthful. It was an utter delight. If going here during the weekend, be prepared for a boisterous crowd as there are plenty of people partaking in the Bottomless Brunch. If you’re wanting a quiet venue, this is not the place to go - but the food is worth the noise. I just sat back, enjoyed my food and took pleasure in watching the others having fun. The Discretionary Service is 14%. Maybe Lantana has always charged 14% or maybe this is an inflation-related uplift from the standard 12.5% but given inflation impacts the base price charged…. Well, it’s not as if you’re going to argue about it when it’s on a £17 meal and you had good service but…

Lantana is good brunch stop and definitely worth the visit. The food and coffee are really good, but service when I went was slow. It’s much more expensive than other brunch options in the broader 0.5 mile vicinity though and with how slow the service was on a bank holiday Monday the food didn’t quite make up for it. 4 stars because it’s worth a visit and the Nasi Gorang was decent.
