Louisa's Place in Harborough

We went to the inaugural Blues Night starring Sunjay and it was excellent. The atmosphere was amazing as it is an intimate venue. We had the sharing platter and it was plenty. Lots of variety. The beer was great too.

I only come to Market Harborough around once a year, but whenever I do, I always make a trip to Louisa's! The food is consistently delicious and well presented. The space is clean and tiny. The staff are attentive. The atmosphere is just delightful. Overall, a really lovely lunch experience. If I lived closer would love to try the evening menu. Hope this place is here for many years!x

This is always my favourite place to go for breakfast before I go to work in town … Louisa’s Place is always pristine and so welcoming and the breakfasts are always cooked freshly for you and presented really well on the plate. The surroundings are comfortable, colourful and right up my street ! Bravo Chef! 👏👏 Rosemarie Jarvis Director Hanworth Hats Harborough

Lovely food, very polite and helpful staff

Our favourite brunch spot in Harborough! Absolutely love this place, the coffee is great, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Also love that it’s dog friendly! My favourite food here is the houmous, falafel, rocket & chilli jam bagel and I’m not even vegan!

Lovely ambience, delicious breakfast,good service 😋

What a great place to grab a nice brunch. Equally loving the care attention that goes into the cocktails. I'm so glad "Diddy didn't do it" Long reign the enjoyment of this fine local establishment.

Went for a late breakfast. Got the big one, with some fresh juice. Was really nice, and reasonably priced with decent sized portions. The waitress was busy but had the time and attention, and the place was clean and pleasant.

Very nice breakfast cafe. The lady of the house immediately spreads a good mood. The food is wonderful and there are tons of healthy options. The cheerful furnishings provide the rest of the feeling of well-being. I'd love to come back.

I've been to everywhere in town for breakfast or lunch and yet I keep coming back here. Why? Nothing else in my opinion has beaten this lovely place. The toast is not your average frozen loaf, sausages full of flavour, poached eggs cooked to perfection and the bacon top quality. The only place I never even leave one but of fat, one bit of tomatoe or even a bean on the plate. Lunch options very good and other breakfast options just as good. Eggs Benedict.... Best in town. For the quality and gre at service the price is very reasonable.

Lovely dog friendly cafe, the food is excellent 👌

Great place for a light meal. Plenty of menu choices and friendly service.

Staff were friendly and helpful - serving my breakfast outside of set times, and moderations were easy. Calm music and atmosphere and good prices.

Food good coffee one of the nicest I’ve had for a while staff very polite

High ceilings give a cool environment on a hot day. Just the place for a morning coffee and cookie.

Such a lovely find. Impressed with the GF cake options.....lemon and ginger sponge was good and far better than the usual... brownie options ...in many places! Good atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Lunchtime brunch..bagels and waffles. Lovely fresh fruit on waffles.

This is a lovely place. They do great food and drinks. The tall polish lady is a delightful member of staff. The others are also nice.

Wanted a tasty bite for lunch - was lovely best bacon and Brie toasty and coronation chicken toasty we have both had in a long time. Will definitely try again for Saturday lunch ☺️

Absolutely chilled out place and lovely atmosphere 👌

Had a lovely lemon and ginger cake here, super fresh and tasty. The mocha was delicious as well. Inside its spacious, light and airy. Look forward to returning thank you!

What an absolute gem! We popped into Louisa’s for some brunch, which was fantastic! I try to be pretty balanced with reviews, laying out the good, bad and ugly, but we struggled to find anything to be critical about. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. The venue was unique, quirky, and fun. It was clean, had no loud music, and had an excellent clientele. The final bill was surprisingly low, considering the quality and portion size. Extra points for great coffee! We came at 11:00 on a Sunday morning, and there was still a load of seats and tables free.

Charming staff, lovely food, healthy options

Only had tea for two. Lovely staff.

Our waiter was to tall and ignorant and couldn't hear us

Came for coffee, stayed for lunch and reluctantly left before tea as we had no room for cake. A super, welcoming and comfortable place to meet friends.

Great food and very pleasant staff with good service

Louisa's is so great, they do a wide variety of breakfasts, included a grilled vegetable breakfast with halloumi which is delicious. They make they're own carrot juice and they'd dog friendly too.

A contemporary vibe here - quite stylish too. On Saturdays they have a regular DJ - a young chap, born after the 80s-ish era he play so that feels odd. When full, the place is really buzzing.

Had a lovely salad and a fab cocktail. All staff very friendly and accomodating

Great selection of spirits and good cocktail list

Fantastic breakfast, lovely service, and very reasonably priced, definitely be back

Nice atmosphere for a couple of cocktails

Nice place for food and drink . Lovely staff too.

I called in today and ordered mushroom soup as I.have done on many previous.times. After waiting over 30 minutes I was served what I assume a very thick brown vegetable soup, I asked what soup it was to abruptly told " mushroom , we have sold it before " well it was thick, not the right colour, bits of onion skins, lumps of carrot. Mushroom I have had when I visited before has a grey colour and is fairly thin. Suggest your supplier is sending miss labeled soup. As a diabetic I did not complain as could not wait another half hour to eat. Robert

Great bar, good drinks selection and great service

Great food but what I find better is the quality of staff. Every single member is brilliant at their job and they always have a smile. We often take our toddler in and she has so much fun talking to the staff it makes our visits an absolute highlight of the day!

Stopped off for a break after a long journey home. Always welcoming and a charming alternative to the big chains

Very nice cafe near the Market Harborough town centre. Tasty lunch and coffee. Friendly staff.

Perfect for breakfast - we were a group of 6 and everyone found something to their liking! Great coffee and hot chocolate too! Service was good and food all arrived together!

Disappointed- I come here regularly for lunch but was disappointed today. I ordered the bacon and garlic mushrooms on toast and unfortunately it was only lukewarm. I have had this problem with other dishes here when they are busy if people on a table order different dishes they are unable to serve them together. Mine had obviously been prepared first and then left on the side till my friends meal was ready. Not good enough I don’t expect to be served lukewarm food, I want it hot not left on the side whilst my friends food is dished up.

Good food in the day and great atmosphere at night

Excellent service all night, especially Kamila! She is a legend, hero, saint! We love Kamila, she is amazing! X

Fantastic restaurant. Breakfast was great value and tasty. Great coffee too.

Stopped for late afternoon food, good service and food, nice atmosphere and good value. Would definitely go again

Food and service okay. But was asked to move or leave as my table had suddenly become "booked" and was needed in 15 minutes time. A BIG thumbs down.

Decent bar but a bit small especially on a Saturday night. Was difficult to move!

Replying 'I’m surprised that you didn’t notice the taste before you drank it all' to a review of somebody who requested a milk/meat alternative is really awful. Some people have allergies and have never tasted dairy/meat, so why would they notice the difference? Mistakes are made 100% but this is a really awful response. Really put me off visiting again :(

Dear owner, I find your comment on Zoops review very disappointing. Of course your employee would say that to get out of trouble. Why are you arguing with customers? It just makes your customer service skills appear poorer. An apology for any offence that may have been caused no matter who is right or wrong in my view would be the best way to go. Dietary requirements and food safety is a serious issue and it appears by your flippant, defensive response that it means little to you.

The coffee from local roastery was delicious and flavorful, food very tasty and well presented. The service as dream, as it should be 5/5 I really look forward to eat here again

We had breakfast in Louisa’s place recently and I can totally recommend the excellent full English breakfast. Louisa’s is a great coffee shop/bar which has always given us excellent service whenever we pop in.

Absolute disregard for food safety and hygiene policies.

Popped in for a coffee today, and it was good! Latte's we've found to be "cool" in other vendors shops, but not here where it was hot and indeed steaming to at least somedegree - full marks to the team! Didn't have food, so I can't comment, other than saying what I saw going out to other guests looked fine, but let's let them pop feedback on about that. The only let down is the toilet (gents), which only had one sink and one hand-drier, both of which are as you come through the door. Little that can be done. I do appreciate that, but I thought I'd mention. On the whole, I'd recommend popping in and trying it out for yourself.

Went here for a friends birthday,nice little place,up a side street,lovely cocktails,good service,would return.

A lovely little gem of a cafe/restaurant/bar the food, drinks and service are always of a high standard. Very polite staff and the atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Very clean and welcoming feel to the place which makes the whole experience amazing every time.

Very well cooked breakfast, and good service

Excellent service and clean inside. BLT was awesome!

Lovely warm evening, and we went for short walk and came across this place. We ordered inside and sat outside to people watch. Lovely smiley waitress took our drinks order and brought it outside to us. It's so nice to be served by cheery people! We looked at the menu and have decided to return to sample the food!

Really enjoy the bottomless brunch and food here and then the cocktails in the evening!

Excellent food, service and seating.

Just moved to Harborough and we've been told to try here. We did and it was absolutely brilliant. Lovely setting and great food. We will be coming back on a regular basis. Another gem in this beautiful town!

Coffee with a friend & we hadn't been since 2019, coffee not very hot and place was a bit depressing. Service bit lacklustre. I know it's been really tough since start of covid but if you are in this business you need to be warm and welcoming or they won't be back!

Fantastic place very friendly lovely food and very fast service with a smile..

Consistently good food. Great salads

Good place for a coffee/tea, etc, and a choice of cakes.

Very pleasant cafe bar with friendly staff. Has an OK menu. The coffee I had today (cappuccino) should have been warmer.

Great little cafe and cocktail bar. Lovely food good service and relaxed atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, delicious cocktails but took an age to make! Only had drinks can't comment on the food.

I'm getting too old for places like this. Loud music you can't hear yourself over. We were ready to have a few cocktails, but couldn't handle the noise. The drinks were nice, but a bit of a palaver getting them.

Fresh food, service good plenty of local parking. Very relaxed atmosphere

Bacon sandwich £5.95 Chicken sandwich £7.50 Very thick dry bread. We managed to eat the bacon and part of chicken but bread was awful 😖. Will not be going back.

Enjoyed a really tasty pop up vegan night meal, plus really delicious mocktails

went on a friday lunch time , very busy took the last table. ordered tea and tomato soup. tasted fantastic .

Great bar, lovely atmosphere, but the cocktails are quite expensive.

Nothing spectacular...average experience.

Slow service at the bar, but busy with a good atmosphere.

A lovely gem of a place. Really spacious and well decorated. Menu was good. The staff were all very nice. Food was tasty and well priced. Would visit again and highly recommend.

Delicious food. Great customer service. Thank you

Brilliant place fir snacks or meals. Best of all worlds. Good ambience, staff and food. A must place to visit

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Good food we went for brunch and it was very nice & tasty. I have also been in the evening for cocktails they were again very good although some of the size of drinks I feel could have been a bit larger .

Great atmosphere, fantastic cocktails

We came to Market Harborough for a wander and found this place whilst looking for something to eat and am so glad we did. Lovely welcoming service with a smile, beautiful light and airy surroundings and really tasty food. I have already made arrangements to come back with friends one evening to try the cocktails!

Only a quick break for coffee and cake. Very nice coffee and super cake served by friendly staff

Popped in for brunch / lunch. Ordered avocado and halloumi on toast and a goats cheese and beetroot on toast. Both very dry and bland, was literally just plain avocado on some bread and boiled beetroot. I had to ask for some balsamic. Could have been seasoned or had some dressing. Overpriced and underwhelmed wouldn’t return.

Good place. Music a little loud for my liking but purely a personal preference

Good place for lunch menu is good food is nice

Absolutely beautiful the staff are so welcoming nothing was too much trouble for them, can't wait to visit this place again 👍

Lovely place, came in for brunch and it was amazing, service really quick and the food was delicious. the coffee was great too! staff where lovely and made sure everything was perfect too. definitely recommend and i will be coming back :)

Being residents of the town my wife and I visit Louisa's two or three times per month. The food is always well cooked, presented and plentiful and great value. The staff are friendly and very competent. I wrote a review a few months ago after covid restrictions were eased and since then the standard has not dropped in any department.

Great little cafe. Good food. Very friendly staff.

Lovely cafe, with comfy chairs, fantastic cake (including vegan options) and a great oat milk cappuccino! Really good service, too. Thank you!

Modern cafe with drinks and a good selection of snacks.

Staff made us feel welcome and the brunch and coffee were delicious however we felt slightly cold. A nice, quirky setting.

We visited Louisa's Place in a Sunday for bottomless brunch. There were 3 of us, myself, my daughter and my daughter in law. The food was lovely, the drinks were lovely-and flowing, but what really made this was the service of the staff, Molly and Alex. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and will visit again. Thanks guys for a wonderful afternoon.

Lovely cake, gorgeous drinks. Warm comfortable environment. Friendly staff. What more do you need? Great job. Worth the visit.

Louisa’s Place is a beautiful classic/modern bar that you’d usually find in a swanky area of London, a great place for coffee, or lunch, or to meet up with friends for a night of cocktails and if there’s a DJ playing, dancing, I know the owner, so always reserve a table for us when we’re planning a night out.

Thought I would give this place a try just to check it out and ordered a breakfast and went for the scrambled egg as there was no fried egg option, discovered a few issues with the breakfast 1- eggs had no taste 2- toast was iverly cold but butter rock solid 3- Food sat for 10 mins on the counter before making it to me so by this point the whole breakfast was cold Other than this there was no problems very friendly welcome etc but no one likes cold food

A lovely place to go for lunch or just for a coffee and cake. Friendly staff and reasonably priced food. Plenty of space for prams too.

One of my favourite places to go out for drinks, lovely atmosphere, always does everything they can to accommodate. If you haven’t been here before I would highly recommend. Joe in particular is great. Love this place 5/5!
