Had a really yummy burger/sandwich thing here. Was honestly way more delicious than I expected it to be. Great little spot in the park too 🥰

Nice cafe with outdoor seating, very busy when I visited (about 10.30 on a Saturday morning) and I had eaten my croissant by the time my coffee turned up. Coffee was decent though. A couple of girls also ordered the same coffee combo as us and had also been waiting a while and we both dived for the cups when they called the order out. They just need a better way to take orders and serve.

Decided to get a cheese toastie, apparently they only do them for children, when I asked for one. We can do an adult sized one for you , I got told, so I went for it, and a hot chocolate, well the hot chocolate was very small, luke warm & indeed was for a child . I wished I took a photo, then the toastie came, well I am wondering if a child's version was any smaller than I got, and £7.90 in total, for the tiniest amount is daylight robbery, oh an I even had to go back and ask for it to be cut in half, what shop does not cut a sandwich in half, then bunged back into the bag, with the grease proof paper entwined around it, not what one would expect from an eatery. Will not buy here again... 👎

I ordered a chai latte, surprised by the size. The smallest ice late that I have seen. The staf has to show the clients the size of the cups, if I would know I wouldn’t ordered. It cost me £3.50 this small cup😳

Gorgeous location in the middle of Newington green. Coffee is decent but nothing special. The food is generally really good! It’s a locally funded cafe which is great and really does have a community feel about it. Lots of local dog walkers and parents with chicken who have their school nearby come here. Great meeting point and lovely seating area for the summer / good weather

Lizzy"s has deteriorated even more, if that's possible. "Hípster" staff who behave like they've had labotomies with absolute no customer service skills nor ability to critically analyse. No wonder it's still card only payments despite an email from Lizzy last year telling me they'd resume cash payments after Covid restrictions ceased. Lizzy's caters for the largely white, Left Wing, Corbyn-supporting republican crowd who live in this elitist enclave of pretentiousness. Dreadful.

Staff was unpleasant. I ordered this "tomato and feta" roll but I could only see carrot; it tasted like curry, ginger, turmeric, not sure it had any feta or tomato in it and to make it worse it was dry. It took them over 10 minutes to heat it and it was still cold inside. The place is cute but I had a very unpleasant experience in general, especially considering everything is overpriced.

Because the food and coffee are very good here, low rating is purely down to the staff. Have been living locally for a few years and given it many chances as it’s in a great location right on the green, perfect for a morning coffee. But the staff are pretty unpleasant, which has lead me to stop going here. They have got my order wrong a couple times, which is fine, but they got very defensive and rude on both occasions. If you’re looking for a nice setting and good coffee, go here but be warned the staff are not going to help make it a pleasant experience

Queued up during normal opening hours to be then told ‘kitchen’s closed’. At least have the decency to pin up a notice so we don’t waste time for absolutely nothing. They must be doing brilliantly well to turn away customers on a Sunday. My advice? Don’t bother, hop over the road to Acoustic.

I was disheartened to discover that Lizzy's is not accepting cash (despite bizarrely accepting tips in cash🤔). I suggested I placed my cash for an Americano in the tip jar, but they wouldn't accept it. It seems to be only catering for an exclusive clientèle who only use debit/credit cards making it inaccessible and non-inclusive to cash payers. I use my cards for large purchases and not for something costing £2 or £3. I went to the Acoustic restaurant opposite on the corner of Ferntower Road where they gladly accepted my cash. Thanks.

Nice little place but what a disappointment! I ordered a salt beef sandwich and asked if there was a choice of bread. I was told no it came in a roll. I was served strips of dried salt beef in a sweet brioche-type bap. A sickly sweet experience when eaten with hot mustard and gherkin. Also included rocket. Since when?? I took a couple of bites and threw the rest away. £5.50. I should have gone to the bagel shop in stoke Newington . Now THAT'S a salt beef sandwich. I know each to there taste but really, why spoil a good recipe. Sorry girls! I'll try to post the photo.

Au centre du petit square de Newington Green se trouve un adorable petit kiosque entouré d'une pelouse où les beaux jours accueillent familles, chiens et amateurs de bronzage en ville. Lizzy's on the Green propose une variété de plats maison appétissants et vraiment délicieux : toasts à l'avocat, aux champignons à l'huile de truffe, salades, quiches et une variété de dessert maison également. L'endroit est connu pour son excellent café que vous pouvez déguster sur la terrasse en bois ou emporter. En été, la terrasse accueille parfois des concerts en plein air et par temps froid, des couvertures sont mises à disposition. Le tableau ne serait pas complet sans mentionner la gentillesse de la patronne et des serveuses. Enfin, quelques prises de courant sont mises à disposition pour charger les portables, ce qui est assez rare sur une terrasse ! L'endroit idéal pour prendre un petit déjeuner avec son journal ou pour un déjeuner romantique.

Although it's well-stocked and accessible, it's overpriced and is very much on the pretentious side patronised by the increasingly gentrified white, "yuppie" types (mostly Champagne Socialists) who think that spending around £3 on a latte, a couple more on a croissant and a few more on a slice of cake, they're average normal working people. I'd suggest bringing a flask of coffee to the park, a few sandwiches and a picnic blanket rather than indulge yourself in the tweeness of this little cafe that thinks it's big.
