Lewis's in Lancaster

Awful.. went for lunch with a client who I support and we sat upstairs and all we could hear is the kitchen staff swearing and shouting and using horrible language, and due to the echo in the upper floor this was throughout the restaurant so I’m unsure why management did not pull them up on this, was awful. Came for a relaxing lunch and got this.. Not to mention the state of the food, plastic; tasteless and disgusting.

Went here for lunch huh!! Wished I hadn't bothered now. I had the jacket potatoe with chilli 🌶 the mince was so bland it was tasteless was dry no sauce with it, taste like rubber, the outer layer was hot but underneath was warm. The potato was sort of edible and the salad, well u can't go wrong with salad can you!!! Well this is lewises 😆 🤣, we're talking about. We will never in a zillion return it was like fried mince with kidney beans 🫘 so if you're thinking about having the same DONT BOTHER!!!!

Went for the Big Brekkie. Nice food, well presented and wasn't greasy like some places. Staff were friendly enough. Was pretty quiet, but was around 1030 Sunday morning. Only negative was the price of 11.95 for the brekkie. Place was clean.

Food was what you would expect from a cafe. Pricing, however, blew our minds. Toast was £1.10 per slice, cheese on toast, however was £7.30 so even if you get 2 slice of toast (£2.20) surely the cheese doesn't cost £5.10!!?!?! I get they have to make a profit, but that's just madness. Same for Beans on toast, that was £6.50! Definitely won't be returning, sorry.

The cafe felt souless, the service was curt, the food was average and the coffee was dire. Wasn't the cheapest of food either. Find somewhere else.

Visited 1st time yesterday for breakfast I had full english with cup coffee 6.10 excellent value staff were very friendly lots of tables abs seats food was lovely didnt wait long and was red hot lovely cup milky coffee would definitely visit again and highly recommend

First time I’ve been to Lewis’s Cafe. There’s plenty of tables with upstairs as well as downstairs. Staff are business like and food was okay.

Ordered a big breakfast with a coffee. In general, the service was okay.I concur with some of the previous opinions that the old woman behind the counter is incredibly miserable. Your waitresses running around like they are possessed. Breakfast was reasonable - mushrooms were incredibly greasy. New to the town - Probably won’t come back again if other options were available.

Cash lady is a cheat. She took over £3 from my change due to me. Do not trust her. Don't eat here! She will not look you in the eye as she cheats you.

Very bad experience of a very rude older woman. Younger girls running around doing things whilst an older lady just stands there scowling at people. God forbid you ask for no black pudding on a breakfast. Will not be returning and would not recommend. So many more welcoming and friendly places to eat in Lancaster.

We had their All Day Breakfast, several times during a fortnight's holiday. The food was always freshly cooked, and hot. They cater for gluten free in a very sensible way - if you don't wish sausage or toast, they give extra bacon and extra egg. If anything, the mushrooms which are included in breakfast were a little overdone. Friendly staff. Toilets leave a bit to be desired, but overall, a good light lunch

Cake was very dry, the tea pot leeky, toilets migging. Not our finest find on a rainy day in Lancaster

Moving to Lancaster so called in for a brew this morning, not a happy atmosphere, asked if they had toilets ..got such a look, even though i ordered tea & crumpets £2.80.She didnt seem at all friendly, even the young girl that brought the food couldnt muster a smile, (what is it these days with staff?). Anyway wont be calling again.!!PS the breakfasts didnt look that inviting, (might just be me lol).

Breakfast, enjoy going here with the family. Food is always nice and cooked well. Staff are really friendly and it’s a fair price

We were here just for a coffee and a break after walking around the town. Pretty basic place but fine for what we wanted. Hubby’s latte was good but my Americano coffee was a bit strong and bitter. Hubby had a rocky road bar that was prepacked which he said was just ok. I think we would find a different place if we visit again

My partner had an all day breakfast, cheap sausage and beans which she did not eat. My toasted teacake was ok although difficult to eat when the young girl behind the counter was picking her nails.....yum yum !!

Whilst the bustling market was selling lots of yummy options for lunch we prefer a table and chair to enjoy our lunch and found this place down a side street we both optted for the homemade corned beef hash at £4.50. A plate of wholesome luscious hash (stew to my mind but my sister calls it hash too) and peas was delivered to our table all that stopped it being a perfect dish was bread to mop up the gravy and all for the same price as takeaway food on the market where I would have had to wander with my food

I've had a few breakfasts in the cafes around Lancaster but this was the nicest so far. had the all day breakfast for £5.75 which included tea / coffee and toast too.

Decent food (hence the two star rating) but awful awful customer service.

A good place to call in on when the weather is wet outside. I decided it looked a very nice place for lunch. I found that the service was excellent and just a short wait before a two great meals were brought to our table. The food was very nice and hot. The staff are very friendly and polite and welcoming. I would defiantly recommend that you give it a whirl to see what you think.

We stopped just for a coffee and cake break but we found Lewis's "at 23" to be fine and we would return

First visit and last several issues

Called in for lunch, food better than our last visit, tasty and looked good. Service was quick and the place upstairs was really light and airy. Clean and prices very reasonable drinks a bit expensive for size.

We were staying in Lancaster and this café was nearby. It's great for coffee or a light or full breakfast. It seems popular rwith the locals too - and they should know! We had coffee, cooked breakfast and scrambled egg on toast Good portions! It's close to the Library and the Museum too.

Visited with my family and folks for quick bite after a suit measuring. Nice service, good food, good value, nice cafe. There's evidently a beef between this and a neighbouring cafe as they have a sign stating toilets are not for their use.

You can always tell the quality of a breakfast by the quality of the sausage. And it was poor. Cheap, horrible sausages. The fish fingers in the kids meal were similarly poor. That sort of off white mush instead of proper white fish fillet. It wasn't even particularly cheap. Add in grumpy staff and you get the idea.

Nice food and friendly staff. Love the two way radio system staff use to pass on your order. My cheeseburger and chips was a real belly buster.

Vi letade efter ett frukostställe en lördagmorgon och hittade det här cafét. Helt okej frukost, bra priser och tjejen i kassan var trevlig. Hade gärna velat ha bryggkaffe men de hade någon typ av snabbkaffe. Bra ställe för frukost

Lewis's is a great cafe to visit. The staff are always friendly, service is quick and efficient and the food is very good.

Hemos estado en este café muchas veces y siempre tenía hoy buena comida y servicio pero no. Cuando llegamos un montón de las mesas todavía tenía sucias tazas y platos en ellos. Tuvimos suerte y nos dieron la última mesa limpia. Cuando fui a la hasta a la orden había tazas y platos apilados en la barra incluso tuve que pedir la chica detrás del hasta si podía retirar una bandeja para cubiertos. Me señaló que no había cucharillas y ella dijo que me traería. 10 minutos y todavía no había cucharas y nuestros cafés iban frío. Me fui a la caja y dijo que seguía esperando las cucharas, para que me dijeron que había sido decepción ese día. Esto no es culpa de los clientes y sin duda la gente sentado al lado de nosotros jamás volver. Fueron muy indignado que la persona llevó su comida y ni siquiera tome las cosas sucias que estaban todavía lejos de su mesa. Así que estaban a la izquierda para comer su comida con las sobras de alguien pegadas en la esquina de la mesa. No lo cómo decepción por el personal le permiten que nunca debería ser a pasar. Esto nos ha disuadido de ir a este café de nuevo si las cosas como que suceda.

Firstly the staff are very friendly and the service is always great. I have been here on multiple occasions and it cures a few hangovers! The food is always good and I cannot rate this cafe highly enough.

En realidad estábamos en nuestro camino a otro café, que estaba vacío cuando llegamos allí. Nos dimos cuenta de éste estaba lleno y tardaron como una recomendación. Teníamos dos desayunos, bonita ingredientes, bien cocinadas y sin duda nunca vimos ningún personal de mal humor como...

Lunes y festivos, buscando un bocadillo rápido. Descubrir esta joya y muy contentos de haberlo hecho. Buena relación calidad-precio, con un menú variado, personal amable, servicio rápido y precios razonables. Vale la pena tirarla.

Si tu grub básica que quieran es bien, los precios razonables buena cantidad en el plato. Ordenado y limpio, el personal podría hacer con una sonrisa, aunque

El desayuno es vegetariano sobre una fiver y es enorme - patatas, pan tostado, frijoles, huevos, salchichas, tomates y champiñones, y viene con un té o café. Nunca puedo terminar. El personal es amable en una vaga gruñón. Me gusta el lugar, también tienen helado. Es usualmente lleno de señoras hablando sobre lo malo el clima es.

Was looking forward to going for a cafe lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We walked in and initially I wasn't overly impressed with the decor but thought it would be worth looking at the menu. The menu appeared a bit pricey at approx £5 for a jacket potato with a filling. I went up to the counter to simply enquire if they accepted debit cards to which the overly blunt reply was 'no, but there is a cash machine at the end of the street'. Due to their attitude I happily obliged, left went to the cash machine and spent my money elsewhere.I understand that there are costs involved in having card facilities, however we are in 2015 and in the age of contactless payments and would think in order to ensure business this is something you would have. Nevertheless it wasn't the fact that they didn't accept cards, it was the rudeness towards myself that has ensured that any money spent in a cafe in the future will certainly not be in this rather drab and unfriendly cafe.Have given it a 1 star rating only because you have to give it something.

First time visit - ashamed to say just to dodge the rain. Quick service, good coffee and lovely scones. Can't comment on the food but the menu looked good.

After hunting high and low in Lancaster to get a cooked breakfast we found Lewis's.. Yes we didnt get the warmest of welcomes but the lady taking orders did thaw during our meal.the breakfast was actually delicious, huge rashers of bacon and tea with extra water, unasked for.. Brilliant.I was able to swap an unwanted sausage for a hash brown which was not part of the breakfast package and the lady did do it but made it quite clear it was a one off favour .I dont know why so many cafes have a problem with mix and match? After all a hash brown is cheaper than a sausage so they are quids in.. If Morrisons resturant can do it, why cant othersAnyway never mind... It was a great breakfast and knockeds spots off the overpriced trendy multiples that fill our high streets

£3.50 for poor egg on toast. Juice was poor quality brand yet cost 90p. Service wasn't rude but not friendly either. Seems to be mainly workmen coming in for cooked breakfasts. I was hoping for proper local spirit but was disappointed

Meals for around £5. Great staff - the lady pointed out where we should visit in Lancaster. Good drinks - and had we been there later, we would have loved to have tried their food at very reasonable prices.

Been going here with my dad for years now, most saturdays. They have new owners, not much has changed for me really, staff, yes, but food is still nice. Full english brekkys are good, lovley bacon. Place is clean enough, no gripes for me. Recommended.

This place used to be buzzing with people, workmen, families, ladies having coffees and catch ups, you'd struggle to get seated in the morning! This is no longer the case. Since being taken over we have given this place more than its fair chance to settle in and improve but now we have just given up. You struggle to get a smile out of the 'owner/manager' couple that with the increased prices and the reduced quality and there's your explanation as to why it's now a ghost town in Lewis' s.Considering how quiet it is you'd expect it to be revamped and spotless- no such luck...The remaining 'old' staff from the previous owner/manager are the only positive about this place which is sad for the business.No longer will we be taking our custom there and sadly everyone else we see seems to be doing the same. Such a shame.

Expensive for what you get and it was not all that nice. Just thought I'd try it for breakfast but will not go back

It used to be really good and amazing friendly lady behind the counter. The prices are up but didn't feel was as good. Average, not awful though. But used to be better

I had a breakfast here. This place has changed a lot from last time I visited. Customer service was so good, good food. NOT anymore in this place. I ate half of the sausage, 1 fried egg, some beans and mushroom then a few minutes later , I found mold on my toast. I told the chef to proove what I saw on my toast, he confirmed that it was mold. He told me to tell the lady at the till which I did. She gave me 2 pound refund and said because I had already eaten some of my breakfast and coffee! However , I didn't even finish my coffee because that mold put me off everything. Finding mold on the food was bad enough but the lack of an apology and the fact that the staff seemed to brush it off and were not bothered in the slightest made it worse.

I visited again due the my grandma wanting an ice cream Sunday. I ordered her a strawberry Sunday £4.50 and myself bacon, egg and beans. I asked for them to come out together. We waited less then 5 minutes for mine yet when it arrived it was swimming in water, I complained and they brought me another meal ( or just drained the water off ) in the mean time my grandma was still waiting for her Sunday. When it finally arrived the strawberries in it were frozen and unedible defiantly not worth £4.50. We defiantly won't be returning !!

We called in for lunch as my mother in law wanted an omelette but unfortunately they didn't do them so she settled for scrambled eggs on toast which were tasteless and the toast was rock hard. The price for the scrambled eggs was ok at £3.95 but I ordered just 2 rashers of bacon and scrambled egg and was charged the same which I thought was a little pricy. Looking at the rest of the menu I thought a number of the meals were over priced when comparing them to other cafes. I don't think we will be returning as I have been charged less and had better food at other establishments.

Ok for a snack and coffee if you like milky coffee.A small out side seating area to smoke. Facilities clean. Staff good

average lancaster cafe, fair priced and you can get anything from here. good location defiantly more friendly than the other cafes on the same line as cafe nero etc. good location give it a go

Staff are always helpful, food is good, but menu restricted (No problem for us though!) However, Lewis' main attraction is the price of the meals (Or lack thereof!!) as I have never come across a cafe with such low prices for such quality food. Definitely worth a lunch or breakfast there!

Good food, especially the breakfasts, reasonably priced. Friendly helpful staff that will carry your tray of goodies to your table. Nice clean loos too.Can get very busy at times.
