Lounges of Lymington in New Forest

This is a lovely throwback to a gone age. Small, local, friendly, home made and a little gem. Don’t expect an immaculate sterile interior of a Starbucks, there are no straight edges, it’s a very old building. .

Wonderful place. Great food, very welcoming

Went for lunch whilst looking round the market. Was very busy but didn't have to wait long for a seat as the service is quick as well as very friendly. Good choice of food for all including vegetarians and gluten-free persons in our group. Food was excellent including the GF sandwich which I was assured was the best they had eaten in a cafe. Top marks would highly recommend

Best gluten free sandwich ever eaten at a cafe. Tasty food, amazing service, top class staff. First visit but will definitely go back.

The food is excellent, very tasty and reasonably priced. Great service and lovely staff. It would've got 5* but there was a dog sat on a cushioned bench - the staff saw it and said nothing - disappointing...

Always a good selection of gluten free options

Excellent gluten free choices in a lovely friendly cafe. I could have just about any sandwich filling with gf bread or jacket potato and too many cakes to choose from 😊

A lovely little quirky coffee shop. The sign in the window said, ‘Crab sandwich’ and that drew us in as I love these. We liked the seating, the decor and the homely feel. The woman at the counter could have been more welcoming but this was more than made up for, by the other two women waitresses. The crab sandwich was very good. The coffee was pricey at £5.75 for a large coffee. Overall, a good experience and we’d go back.

A really lovely little cafe. Staff are very welcoming, the food is great and reasonable prices. I'd definitely recommend them and am forward to a return trip next time we visit Lymington.

I love this cafe, it's in a lovely old building and has always been popular with locals. The food - sandwiches, salads, baked potatoes etc ...is nicely prepared, good value and delicious, the coffee and tea is good quality. I bring my son in after school sometimes for a treat, the chocolate cake and orange & carrot cake are favourites with us. Milkshakes are good too! Staff are always friendly, it has a calm, quiet atmosphere in there, even when busy.

Great place for breakfast or a piece of cake and a coffee. Always a friendly welcome.

It is a beautiful little place with excellent service The food is very tasty nice cuppa tea xx so pleased to pop in x I had the tea cake my son had a tuna and sweetcorn panini

A lovely spot for a light meal and a superb range of gluten free and dairy free options. Friendly and knowledgeable staff (particularly around the safety needs of coeliacs). Highly recommend

Good range of cakes and sandwiches plenty of seating , staff friendly if a little slow. Cakes were home or locally made . On the High Street so busy and usually full but quick turnover

Had read rave reviews so came to try it out. Maybe it was an off day for the lady on the till, one person's professional service is another's frosty, not even a smile. Gluten free items available but not enough to tempt me to buy lunch here. Shame.

After searching on Google for a dog friendly cafe as we were new to the area. There were six adults and 3 dogs in our group and it wasn't too much trouble all very welcoming.Great service would definitely visit again .

Popped in here while on holiday in Lymington when it rained. Small place but run efficiently and coffee and homemade cake very nice.

We visited the Lymington market (definetely go if you haven't) and were a little early and wanted breakfast. Looked welcoming and the cakes in the chiller looked incredible (we didn't partake) My Wife is vegetarian with gluten-free and dairy-free allergies. They made changes to the breakfast to assist and the chef made hers first to ensure he didn't cross-contaminate (very kind) Staff were a delight and we all enjoyed their cooked breakfast 2 full english (plenty for 9 and 11 yr old) full english with extra sausage vege breakfast 2x smoothies (fresh and delicious) tea for two (oat milk too) all for £48 and it was the best breakfast I have had in ages I genuinely told them to up their prices... lovely decor and although it looks cramped in the front there is bigger space out back and outdoor seating. Will be going again

We were very disappointed with the food. We ordered avocado toast with bacon, but the bread quality was poor so was the bacon. For the price, we expected sourdough, but got a slightly better version of regular toast. The coffee was good, but at £5 for a large caramel latte, it felt very overpriced. The outside tables are very uncomfortable so if you are looking for a longer stay we wouldn’t recommend it.

We stopped here for morning coffee and a snack. The staff were helpful and courteous. The food was of good quality They found us a space as a party of 5 without fuss. We will certainly come again!

Well Worth the drive to Lymington from Salisbury, where there is nothing to compare this to. Popped down on Sunday, usual friendly greeting. Sausage sandwich and a Latte. I have been calling here for Years, and the standard of staff and food is always excellent. This is the only place to visit in the town, trust me.

Had a cream tea for two. Good value for money. Food was lovely. Gets quite busy, but outside seating available.

It is a great cafe by the high street in Lymington, where you find tables at the entrance, then the counter with lots of beautiful cakes, more tables and if you keep going through you find the kitchen and the back garden outside. It is very cosy and the staff very nice. As we went on Saturday the tables were full but we were lucky to find one. It is a great place for coffee and a bite.

Nice food , good choice friendly staff and reasonably priced

We visited Lounges twice in a week thanks to their gluten free range and good size portions. The cakes are amazing and even simple things like a cheese salad baguette are delicious. Staff are super friendly. They also have a small outside seating area away from the main high street. Support these local businesses instead of going over the road to Greggs. Highly recommended.

The one the locals love :-) A big favourite with delicious home made cakes and excellent coffee. The full English breakfast is a must and great value.

Visited twice. Once in the late afternoon for tea and cake after a long walk. Then breakfast on Sunday Both times the food was excellent and great service

If you want a quality breakfast this is the place for you. My first visit and will not be my last. The quality of the food was excellent and the pot of tea using flavoursome tea bags where you don’t have wait for the tea to stew complimented the breakfast wonderfully. The menu is very flexible to cater for everyone’s desire. The staff were very open and warming to talk with. If you want a home from home atmosphere, this is the place to go to in Lymington

Excellent service and great food. Highly recommend!

beautiful weather so we sat outside, just off high street and near Tesco. Extensive menu and resonable prices. We both had the full english and it was delicious. The staff were lovely and allowed me to swap beans for mushrooms, really yummy. clean and tidy place.

Had booked The Larder for brekkie and Open Table had taken my booking despite it being closed so came here hoping for a table and we were welcomed! On the outside it looks small but there are tables in 3 different rooms. The menu is great with fab breakfasts/paninis etc. Coffee was good and the staff friendly.

Friendly Staff, Great Atmosphere and lovely Food My wife and I decided to drive down to lymington for the day to enjoy the sun while we have some 🤣☀️ The lounges of lymington is an independent coffee shop that does a lovely breakfast 🍳 and real nice coffee ☕️ I had scramble eggs on toast, sorry there is no photo it was delicious only have the coffee to display 🤣 My wife had the full English and she likes her bacon, sausage and eggs well done and that is exactly what they did! The food was delicious, they also have a wide range of homemade cakes too! Will definitely return when next in the area 😀

Dog friendly cafe . Only called for drinks today but good menu reasonably priced. Would return to sample home made cakes and delicious looking food. Gave our dogs biscuits and bowl of fresh water. Nothing not to like.

We got the regular cooked breakfast and the vegetarian version. The vegetarian one wasn’t on the menu but we asked and they said they could do it which was lovely. The food was very very nice, and I think good value for money!

Really nice little cafe that offers a great selection of gluten free (GF) options. Ideal to eat in or take away

Great place for lunch. Friendly staff and good.food. best cream tea I've ever had :)

Wonderful selection of homemade cakes!

A nice little cafe in the heart of lymington... Good selection of food and drinks and cakes. Feels a bit tight for space and the tables are very close together.. Dog friendly aswell which is a bonus.

Some great varied choices of panini's, toasties and jacket potatoes on the menu. My jacket potato was huge and so good, filled with lots of yummy coleslaw. My freind had a lovely panini with brie and chutney. Only reason I knocked off a point was because the service was slightly hit and miss and the cappuccino is not the best. Other than that an absolutely delicious lunch.

Super cute little cafe off the High Street, lovely ambience. I had a cappuccino and a tomato, mozzarella and basil pesto panini with coleslaw. My husband had the full English breakfast. Very tasty food! The panini need some salt and pepper (I like my tomatoes to be seasoned within a sandwich), but was otherwise great!

This is the second time we've popped in here, and it's still just as good as before . Good selection of food and cakes, including a good selection of gluten-free food,plus it's dog friendly . This, at present, will not be the last time we visit

Great food, great service and lovely staff in a charming setting , full of character .

Beautiful location, and very sweet coffee shop, such a shame that it was terrible coffee and the staff were miserable.. I wouldn’t come again.

My favourite place to have lunch in Lymington. Never disappointed

Super little cafe - great breakfast. Friendly and welcoming service. Very reasonably priced too !

Great, friendly, warm and with plenty of historic character. The Full English Breakfast was very good. Personally I'd like mushrooms too, but I was happy and will return. The Cappuccino was better than most and everything was served quickly.

Lovely little dog friendly café - and thankfully very friendly to humans too! Double shot cappuccino recommended, cake excellent and good value for money.

Tasty food and lovely drinks. Very rarely go out for lunch but this lovely local cafe is the best in Lymington 5🌟

Lovely people, lovely food and yummy cakes! Thanks to Richard 😁

Great food and service, highly recommend

It's a gem I should rave but . I don't think anybody who goes there once needs reminding to tell people of it's existence.

A small coffee with friendly staff and a great selection of food.

Fantastic poached eggs on toast.

Amazing hot drinks and highly recommend the hot chocolate!

Good food and friendly service - all you want!

Been in this cafe a few times and each time tried something different… not disappointed at all. Busy little venue.

Enjoyable latte and cake here whilst visiting Lymington. Would return.

Excellent wee coffee lounge, breakfast first class (consistently best in Lymington 5 *)

Although my food was piping hot my sisters wasn't but sorted out straight away

Visited twice last week. We sat outside on both occasions as the weather was warm. Really nice courtyard area to sit and it is very dog friendly. The waitress even brought out some biscuits for our dog. We had lunch on one day, sandwiches and tea and just cake and tea on the second visit. Very good quality food, service and nice surroundings. Will visit again and would recommend.

What a find sat in courtyard latte best we have had for a long time very busy service very quick

Tasty full English breakfast and very good value.

Delicious food in a sheltered setting away from the hustle and bustle of the high street. The young man that served our table was friendly and polite which further enhanced our visit.

finished off a long walk from Brockenhurst to Lymington at this cafe. We had been planning to go to another place, but we were happy to find this spot. It was a nice day so we took the seating outside. Seemed to be lots of space inside as well. We each had a toasted panini (mine with pineapple!) which was very delicious, with crisps and salad side included. The milkshakes were delicious, and the meal overall wasn’t too expensive! The cakes looked very nice however we did not sample!!

The location is very handy, next to the car park. Service was polite and helpful. The lunchtime menu was not large but adequate. The food, which arrived quickly, was very good and plentiful. The fudge cake will keep you energised for a week.

A really friendly welcoming place. We pop in for breakfast about once a week: sometimes a virtuous granola with yoghurt, sometimes an indulgent egg-and-bacon roll. Always fresh and tasty, with good quality coffee.

Sat outside in the sun this morning for a coffee while in Lymington. Fast, friendly service and special treatment for our dog. Recommended.

A warm welcome awaits you at this perfect little tea room. A great menu with many enticing choices. I had a cream tea and enjoyed every last crumb!

Good place to stop for cake and coffee.

The food amazing, service was efficient. Staff unfriendly, didn’t see any friendly interaction with customers the half hour we were there and not one smile given to a customer in that time. A real shame as if the staff were as amazing as the food, the atmosphere would be worth returning for …

A pot of tea and two lovely slices of home made cake. Young Sunday staff were polite and helpful. Reasonable prices as well. An independent worth a visit.

Unique little cafe which serves a very good lunch in a building that must have been built in the 16th century.

We had a lovely experience here.We both had a sandwich which was one of the best we have had in a long time. Lots of flavour & good presentation. The chocolate fudge cake was a delicious. Staff were very friendly. It was our first and will not be our last visit. Thank you.

Super lovely tea room run by lovely staff. Clean too. Food was delicious.

Always a pleasure to visit Lounges. Thank you! Today we enjoyed jacket potato with brie, grapes and walnuts, followed by carrot and orange cake. Y.U.M.

Everything you could want. ! They don't do fast-food, however " Lounges" does prepare and serve freshly made food in a very comfortable atmosphere. 10/10.

This is a very good independent establishment, friendly staff and tasty cakes.

The best gluten free scones. And dog friendly.

Stopped in for a hot chocolate and cake. The hot chocolate was immense, so smooth and tasty. Lovely gluten free lemon cake too. It's a little cramped in there, not much of an atmosphere. Polite staff.

We didn’t get a very friendly welcome which put us off straight away. Manners cost nothing, especially if I’m the one buying drinks in your establishment! All in all a bit flat and I wouldn’t be going back.

Lovely cafe, very friendly staff. Food was delicious.

Toastie was much better than it looks in a photo!

Lovely atmosphere and lovely drinks and cake

Nice little place, good food and not too expensive

Smally friendly cafe with the best cheese & onion sandwiches

Visited here twice during our weekend stay, Saturday breakfast and Sunday brunch, and very good experiences on both occasions. Serving staff were youngsters yet very friendly and efficient. Despite being non-locals we appreciated the little professional touches. For example, the poached egg on my avocado on toast split, so they brought me an extra egg (not that I expected it)! Good food, great service, highly recommended.

Been coming to Lounges pretty much every week albeit except during COVID for about 5 years. Every time the food is great and the staff are always very friendly, would highly recommend! 😊

Nice staff, but the food was very lacklustre.

Pleasant coffee shop, and very nice baguette lunch. One of the best in Lymington!!

What a great atmosphere in this small place that goes on and on back to seating outside behind. Staff super attitude and helpful start to finish. So much so it runs off on everyone to create a buzz. Food cooked perfectly and ingredients clearly not chosen by cost saving, but flavour. Brilliant way to keep customers coming back. Prices spot on well done. Will be back. Thanks to team.

Good options for drinks and food, indoor outdoor seating. Good choice while in the High Street.

Small but friendly environment and food was not fancy, but very tasty and enjoyable

What a lovely find. Staff so helpful and friendly. A good way to start the day

Nice coffee and friendly staff.

Lovely independent cafe with a calm atmosphere.

Fab place to visit. Visit each time we come and stay nearby in Blackfied. Had the Crab sandwich today, absolutely delicious

The staff are always polite and genuinely seem happy to see you the coffee is really good the food is what I would call real food not pretentious with gluten free and vegetarian options you will be glad you popped in

My husband and I and two friends went here for lunch on Saturday I had the tuna, sweetcorn & red onion panini it came with coleslaw and leaves, 20 minutes after we left, I began to feel cramps in my stomach and sick, this continued until I went to bed, I woke up during the night rushing to the toilet which continued for 3 hours with hurrendose pains in my stomach, I do believe it was food poisoning from this Cafe, as I had not eaten anything before going there that day, my husband and friends were ok.

After a long journey to Lymington for the ferry to Isle of Wight a place to relax and enjoy a breakfast before we joined the queue to board the ferry with parking outside a lovely place to stop

Had coffee cream tea. Fabulous. Coffee was top notch and the scone and cream tea were soo yumm. Such a warm welcome including for our beloved pooch.
