The Lakeside Cafe in Leeds

Go here nearly every weekend. Not sure why the reviews are so low…. Maybe it has changed over the past couple of years. The food is lovely and very reasonable. The staff are always very friendly. Love this place 🥰🥰. 100% would recommend.

staff friendly, food average, atmosphere TERRIBLE!!! It's so loud due to essentially being in a giant echoey room. Every tiny noise is amplified, cheap furniture constantly scraping along the hard floor, the coffee machine, cutlery rattling you have to basically shout at the person you're with to hear each other. If you didn't have a hearing problem when you arrived, you will by the time you leave.

Not visited for a while so popped in for lunch with two 6 year olds. No-one to show us in on arrival when waiting a while, so we chose our own seats. I thought the children's menu could be improved re choices to be honest, for the younger spectrum especially. Felt disappointed. The children chose a tuna sandwich (£5.70) and beans on toast (£5.50). We weren't offered a choice of bread type (White sliced on arrival). Beans on toast; one slice with a covering of beans. Tuna sandwich; thinly spread Tuna. Plain crisps, 3 crudités ( 1 cucumber/ 2 carrot) which were dry & curly and needless to say uneaten! Staff were very busy and their faces reflected this. Tables were cleaned quickly. Cutlery was brought wrapped in napkins which unfortunately were soaked in tea from the 'pot for one', noticed, and not replaced. Not my memories of here in times gone by unfortunately. Hmmm, wouldn't rush back being honest.

We have been before and the food/drinks are always good. Not very busy when we went but waited half an hour for our lunch. Staff are good and helpful . As with a lot of places these days, it needs money spending on a refit and tidying up as looks dated.

Awful customer service. Management extremely rude, don’t know how she got the job she clearly has no idea on how to deal with the general public. Paid nearly £50 for a dried up ham sandwich, a jacket potato and 2 children’s meals, over priced to say the least. Avoid

Appalling sexist service, went to go serve someone else right over the top of me due to her being female and me being male, disgusting behaviour

Very expensive for what it is and a rude and sullen waitress who is not a good advert for the business. Its only strength, of course, is its location. I wish there was competition because they would have to up their game.

Lunch , between us spent over £50 . Asked for a couple of hot waters charged an additional £1.20 each but couldn’t see a charge on the menu . Be upfront Lakeside. Shouldn’t just be “slipped” into a bill as a hidden charge . The Mansion doesn’t charge for hot water . Will be going there from now on .

Well, what an absolute rip-off this cafe is £28.00 for 1 jacket potato with cheese and beans, a dried ham and cheese sandwich, 1 hot chocolate and a coke. Not value for money to say the least. Inferior it was more like Fodder. The lady wiping the table with a cloth also used the same cloth to wipe the chairs. It's not exactly hygiene. Never again.

Bank holidayMonday walk in Roundhay Park so decided to have lunch in the cafe by the lake. No menu on view outside so only saw prices once seated. Ordered one bowl of soup which was served with a a small piece of bread and a Caprese panini. The panini wasn't even a proper panini roll and there was no taste of the pesto so was just bland - cost £9.50. Massively overpriced for the quality. Cakes priced at nearly £5 so gave those a miss

Beautiful food, really well presented and the service was excellent! I met the manager and she was really friendly all of the staff were very welcoming and they have a rely good range of food and stunning cakes which I will be definitely back to try. It's dog friendly in the outside area which I know for next time for my own dog. Really lovely impromptu cafe trip today thank you Lakeside!

Great food and location... Chantelle was fantastic helping ua to reserve a table which they don't usually do!! Thank you so much 👍

Lovely location shame about the prices for what portion sizes you got. Found it very expensive for what we ordered. Would go again for coffee as views over the lake are lovely but would not eat.

This place does not usually take reservations but for my granddaughter s birthday, I contacted Chantelle and she kindly reserved an table. The food was wonderful, service fantastic and unhurried....our granddaughter is here from New Zealand and to be able to celebrate her birthday with friends and family was so wonderful... and this cafe made it so special for us and we cannot thank you enough!!! Just wonderful 😊😊😊

The main problem seems to be that they don’t have enough staff to cope with the decision to have table service only. We were actually seen to quite quickly once we got in - just two of us wanting a cup of coffee sitting outside on one of the few recent sunny days. But as we left there were 5 families in a queue to which nobody seemed to be attending, when inside was nearly empty.

Visiting Roundhay Park, we called in for coffee and snacks. The welcome was friendly and we were shown to an inside table. There was a good selection of items, although snacks catering for a dairy allergy were a little limited. Orders were taken at and served to our table. The snacks and coffee were very good and reasonably priced. A relaxing visit in an attractive location overlooking the lake. Would rate as "Good" rather than "Very Good"

Absolutely terrible. Poor food incompetent staff. Lovely location. Basically no one cared about quality! Wouldn’t go there again

2 coffees and a lemon drizzle cake to share. Millie who served us was wonderful with a great sense of joi de' veivre. Cake was ok

We had been looking forward to visiting the Lakeside as we used for go many times a few years back. Unfortunately on this occasion and with the current staff, the customer service was beyond terrible. Customers with allergies get offered a sub-standard version. Whilst we were not bothered on paying extra, when we politely mentioned this, we were then hit with a tirade from staff on why we as customers had misunderstood, weren't listening which we actually had to request that the staff member calm down to avoid having this tirade in front of the kids. Appalling customer service which is such a shame, as were looking forward to returning..

Visited here today with a party of 8. After a torrential downpour we were all wet through including 2 small dogs. The staff were unfriendly and unaccommodating and made us feel very unwelcome. In the current climate with small businesses struggling to keep going, it was astonishing they turned away a party of 8 when the bill would have been over £100. Human and dog unfriendly cafe. Would not visit in any circumstances again. Do not recommend.

I went last week with a friend and had a lovely bacon and egg sandwich. Went with family today and had the same thing. Still nice but granary bread wasn’t as fresh. Someone else had bacon sandwich on white and said the bread was soggy. Nice bacon though. My main gripe was that the young child with us had children’s beans on toast. The beans came in a tiny ramekin, must have been a dessert spoonful of beans, and one thin slice of toast. The price was an extortionate £5!!! How can that price be justified?

Such a fad to get a coffee No point using the park cafe Waited 8 mins to get in 6 mins to order my coffee 7 mins before it was ready I’ll bring my own next time

This review is relating to the Lakeside Kiosk at Roundhay Park. My favourite thing to do on a Saturday morning is walk my dog and grab a takeaway coffee from the Kiosk. A regular server is Cristina who makes the most amazing coffee, perfect temperature, strength and even a design on top 😁 The outdoor kiosk is well worth a visit

Sign outside saying wait to be seated but no one showed up. Went inside and asked for a table, one was cleared for us. We were told it was table service only but after a long time sat waiting with no sign of anyone coming to take an order had to go up and ask if we could order a drink at which point we were told someone will be with us shortly. Someone came straight over and took our order and the coffee and cake didn’t take too long to arrive. Good big slices of cake, cost almost £9 for a coffee and slice of cake. Feel would benefit from more staff on maybe to help run smoother.

My wife & I have been coming here - off & on - for about a year. Slightly quirky, but it grows on you & I'd say it's now our favourite place to come, usually at least 2 or 3 times a week. Always pleasant & friendly, never a poor experience. Don't understand the whingers on this site - perhaps they were expecting ultra-perfection (which you don't get anywhere!). Drinks & food (especially the scones in the morning when they're always fresh) have always been 1st class for us (else we wouldn't keep returning).

Awful. Cakes are almost 5 pounds a slice and ordered carrot cake that was dry as polystyrene. Woman was next to useless for help. So gave her plate and left. Expensive, dry and unpleasant. Customer service very poor!

We have been coming to the Lakehouse for Saturday morning breakfast for the last 6 weeks, and it is our favourite place for food and the amazingly view of the Roundhay Park lake. I have the delicious veggie breakfast - which has generous amounts of grilled Halloumi, avocado on sourdough toast, grilled tomatoes and poached eggs, and my parter has a full English. The staff are really friendly and the food and drinks are served fairly quickly - especially if you arrive before around 10.30am. Would highly recommend 👍

First of all, we waited to be served by the sign that informs you to wait. The waitress with very dark hair approached us and said that she will be with us in 3-4 mins and left to walk down passed the tables. Then a...

When in Leeds we will go to Roundhay Park and walk around the lake there, it's peaceful and pretty. Sometimes we will stop by the café for a drink and a sandwich. The food is quite good, and they serve a decent cup of coffee...

We arrived, we're sat at a table outside and waited a very long time with no staff members coming to take our order. We were told it was table service so waited a little longer, tables around us that were seated after us were getting...

Brilliant food and atmosphere. I would say it’s maybe a little over priced for what it is. The waitress who seated us and took our mains order was lovely, very polite and friendly. Sadly when our plates were cleared we were left waiting at the...

I can appreciate not staff but very arrogant service made to feel out of place although very pleasant cafe with beautiful surroundings

We have visited this cafe on numerous occasions and although a little pricey (by comparison), we have never had to wait as long as we did today to order. We have a dog so have to be outside and a few customers came after us...

I’ve been sat here now for 26 minutes. I’ve asked 3 people if I can order. Badly run doesn’t even scratch the surface. I’d be embarrassed to work here. Needs shutting down and starting again, after they’ve sacked everyone.

This was our first time here today it's a great café/restaurant and is situated within the beautiful Roundhay Park overlooking the view of a beautiful lake, and it was an ideal 'watering hole' when walking around the area with friends and a toddler. What a...

I visit Rhoundhay park frequently to go for a walk with friends. Decided to pop into the cafe to see if I could grab a quick bite to go. Was absolutely shocked by the service from the manager who approached me and very rudely told...

It's been a while since I last ate at the Lakeside Cafe, and it's gone a little more up-market, in having table service, as well as a better menu. It's still as friendly as in the past though. The small dedicated vegan section of the...

I was disappointed with the food and service, we had to ask 3 times how long it would take to arrive, the Manager who served us was utterly charmless and sullen, I and my family will never return

I looked on Google maps and it said that the cafe would be open until 5pm. When I went in I asked for a drink to take out. A member of staff said we are closed but I will see what can do. She went...

I’ll keep this brief, it’s almost not worth my time, but I’ll put as much effort in to this review as the management and staff do customer service. 26 minutes to get served. Coffee order was wrong. Chips were raw in the middle. No one...

Had a lovely quiche and salad today at the cafe the staff were excellent very good service.the only thing was quite expensive and would of liked some coleslaw with my salad which most places is included but unfortunately this was going to be classed as...

Great place to sit and relax after a walk round the lake. Outside seating (partially covered) in use due to lockdown but bags of seating inside when restrictions are not in place, Good choices of food and drink - but prices are a bit top-end-ish. Parking can be a problem on nice weather days but it's free. Lovely staff too.

Visité hoy para llevar en el brunch. Debido a las restricciones de Covid, tuvimos que llevarnos ya que estábamos con amigos.Pedí 4 butties de tocino y un par de bebidas calientes. Llegó a 29. 5. 50 para un tocino butty!Era un producto de calidad, ¡pero parecía bastante caro para lo que obtuvimos!Tomó las temperaturas mientras hacíamos cola para hacer el pedido y el uso de máscaras era obligatorio.

Situado junto al lago en los hermosos alrededores de Roundhay Park se encuentra el Lakeside Cafe. Normalmente ofrece una gama completa de comidas, bocadillos y bebidas, pero estoy en las restricciones actuales de COVID, hay un menú reducido. Sin embargo, todavía hay una buena selección de snacks fríos y calientes. El estándar de la comida es bueno aunque a las 3. 90 por una rebanada de pastel de zanahoria no son los más baratos.El personal es muy amable y el servicio es rápido. Puede sentarse adentro o afuera; vea la foto para ver las vistas.Todas las condiciones para garantizar la seguridad están en funcionamiento, incluidos controles de temperatura, registro de clientes, limpieza de mesas, personal con máscaras y distanciamiento social.Un lugar encantador para relajarse después de un paseo. Y. . . no olvide probar el Lakeside Crunch, una experiencia por sí sola.

Este fue nuestro primer viaje a Roundhay Park desde la pandemia (no somos lugareños, pero nuestra familia sí, por lo que visitamos con bastante regularidad).Siempre hemos encontrado que el café tiene un precio excesivo para lo que es (durante los horarios normales, toma una bandeja, se une a una cola de estilo cantina, elige su comida / bebida de la pantalla, paga allí y luego en la caja y se lleva todo de vuelta a tu propia mesa. Todo perfectamente bien si los precios son precios de cantina pero no lo son, ¡son precios de servicio de mesa!Aún así, esta es una práctica típica cuando eres un cliente cautivo en el único café del parque, por lo que podríamos perdonarlo si la comida / bebida era de primera categoría.Lamentablemente, siempre hemos descubierto que incluso las cosas simples como los tés y los cafés están tibios cuando los devuelve a su mesa y los pasteles / salados, aunque se ven atractivos, tienden a ser decepcionantes.En esta ocasión, teníamos con nosotros a un niño de 6 años sediento y hambriento que acababa de caminar por todo el perímetro del lago Waterloo y el clima era malo, así que estábamos listos para una parada en boxes.Las cosas tuvieron un comienzo razonable. El café sigue las pautas de distanciamiento social con flechas pegadas en el piso para guiar a las personas en un sistema de sentido único. Haces cola afuera y esperas a que te sientes y nos atendieron rápidamente. Una señora de rostro pecoso con cabello rubio recogido en una cola de caballo, que supuse que era la gerente de piso del día, tomó mi nombre y número de contacto como parte de la iniciativa de seguimiento y rastreo y nos señalaron nuestra mesa, que era grande y espaciosa para el cuatro de nosotros.Nos entregaron menús de papel y nos dieron unos minutos para elegir lo que queríamos (2 tés sencillos, 1 americano, un vaso de leche para mi sobrino y pasteles / dulces para todos). La misma señora que nos había dado la bienvenida tomó nuestro pedido ya mitad de camino leyendo lo que queríamos, se apartó completamente de mí y comenzó a mirar la puerta de entrada. Encontré esto completamente grosero. Aprecio que, como gerente de piso, sin duda tiene deberes adicionales como mirar a su alrededor, asegurarse de que el personal siga las pautas de distanciamiento social, vigilar las cosas, pero cuando usted viene a mi mesa para tomar mi pedido (que tomó 30 segundos) y no fue complicado), quiero que te concentres en mí.Quedarme preguntándose si la camarera ha tomado su pedido correctamente en un café / restaurante es un motivo de preocupación para mí. Realmente arruina la experiencia mientras te quedas preguntándote qué va a aparecer (¡o no!). Una forma de evitar este sentimiento en el cliente es que el miembro del personal repita el pedido al cliente para asegurarle que lo ha escuchado. Esto no se hizo.Después de 10 minutos, nuestra orden fue traída a la mesa por una chica alta con cabello rojo en una cola de caballo.No había leche para mi sobrino ni leche para las dos tazas de té. ¡Cómo diablos puedes llevar una taza de té a la mesa de alguien sin leche!Entonces, el problema ahora es cuál es la etiqueta para pedir que se solucione el problema cuando hay un sistema unidireccional en el café y todo es servicio de mesa. ¿Se nos permite levantarnos y acercarnos al personal (que, dicho sea de paso, estaban todos ocupados)? Mientras decidimos qué hacer, nuestro té se enfría cada vez más.Finalmente, un hombre con cabello rizado estaba limpiando algunas mesas cercanas y le explicamos que no nos habían traído nuestra leche. Se alejó y unos minutos más tarde, lo vimos despejar las mesas nuevamente, lo que nos dejó preguntándonos si la leche estaba en camino o no. Al final, fuimos y agarramos a la chica pelirroja a pesar de que estaba lidiando con otra mesa, ya que se estaba volviendo ridículo, todos en mi mesa estaban molestos y nerviosos y lo que se suponía que era una simple parada familiar para tomar una copa se estaba volviendo. en un desastre y mi pobre sobrino solo quería su leche y estaba empezando a inquietarse.Cuando finalmente llegó todo, bebimos lo más rápido posible (principalmente porque todo estaba al borde de la tibieza) y no me molesté en esperar a que alguien trajera la cuenta con tanta claridad, no iba a pasar. Agarré a la camarera grosera original que vino, luego tuve que desaparecer debido a algún problema con la máquina de tarjetas. 22 por el desagüe y probablemente 40 minutos de mi vida nunca volveré.En circunstancias normales, normalmente diría que nunca volvería, pero como este es el único café, el parque es hermoso y mis padres son jubilados y esperan la oportunidad de descansar y tomar un café después de una caminata y aire fresco. , todo lo que diré es, POR FAVOR, mejorar. No use COVID como excusa para un mal servicio, utilícelo como una oportunidad para ser mejor.

Perdimos nuestro suave descanso aquí después de un largo paseo de perros por el parque durante el cierre, pero aún así obtuvimos deliciosas bebidas una vez que su servicio de comida para llevar estuvo en funcionamiento. Así que estuvimos encantados cuando la cafetería abrió para sentarse a comer y beber.El protocolo de salud y seguridad es excelente, con suficiente información en caso de que sea necesario realizar un seguimiento, pero el personal lo trata de manera muy eficiente, que es sin excepción amable y acogedor.He escrito reseñas de este café antes con algunos comentarios buenos y otros no tan buenos, pero solo puedo decir que lo tienen clavado ahora y estamos muy contentos de volver.

Entramos temprano el sábado por la mañana después de un pisotón alrededor del lago y descubrimos una enorme e inesperada fila de corredores del parque esperando sus flacos lattes y sus tostadas. Afortunadamente, la cola se movió bastante rápido para que pudiéramos ponernos manos a la obra; es decir. enormes frituras.No es barato, seamos honestos al respecto, pero la calidad de los ingredientes del desayuno fue tan buena como la que encontrarás en cualquier lugar a nivel local. El tocino y la salchicha ciertamente no son de supermercado, los huevos fritos [correctamente] son de color naranja brillante en lugar de amarillo insípido, el pan frito era simplemente divino y la tostada servida con 3 porciones de mantequilla para permitir una cobertura que no necesita medir en micras.No probamos ninguno de los cafés o pasteles, sino que tomamos una simple taza de té, lo cual era perfectamente aceptable.Cuando salimos del parque, la carrera de los corredores había terminado, así que tal vez lo dejen hasta después de las 10 un sábado para evitar las colas. Al igual que en cualquier lugar de este tipo de ubicación, había una cierta cantidad de mutantes que solo puedo describir como que nunca me habían enseñado cómo lavarse y vestirse correctamente, pero un poco de selección de mesa con ojos de águila se ocupó fácilmente de esto.

Como residente de Roundhay, pensé que iría a comer un sándwich y un café después de un paseo por el lago del parque Roundhay, estaba con mi compañero, así que pedimos un sándwich de gambas y un sándwich de salmón ahumado en baguettes marrones para lavar. abajo con un par de tazas de café No estoy seguro de por qué, pero ambas baguettes se habían calentado, ¡un poco extraño para los sándwiches de pescado! ! ! Diciendo que ambos eran sabrosos. El personal fue lo suficientemente agradable, tal vez una sonrisa pudo haber ayudado, todos parecían como si no quisieran estar allí.A los 20, un poco exagerado

Increíble ubicación Con un poco más de amor y atención, podría ser de primera categoría.Llegamos a las 10. 00 am para abrir hoy y visitó el baño antes de ordenar. No habían sido limpiados y eran asquerosos. Los inodoros deben limpiarse al final de cada día o antes de abrirlos.Estos inodoros siempre están sucios, y esto es algo aceptable para más tarde en el día dado que los caminantes los usan mucho, pero a primera hora de la mañana. . . No hay excusas realmente.

Regular customer but no longer visit as frequently as prices are simply too high and now very poor value for money. For example, 1 kids meal, two panini and 1 chip (no drinks) costs £27. Prices should be 2/3 of what they are.

Great location in the centre of Roundhay Park & views over the lake, massively overpriced & ridiculously slow service.

Ayer fui al café junto al lago, aunque el entorno es hermoso, los precios son exageradosPedí un sándwich y no solicité ninguna guarnición de ensalada. Pido tomate en rodajas en mi sándwich de queso, en cambio, era una rebanada por cuarto de sándwich. Me sorprendió que me cobraran 80 p por el tomate que compró el precio de mi sándwich a 6. 30! ! La rebanada de arce y nuez era agradable pero nuevamente tenía un precio de 3. 70! ¡Solo un trago para mí la próxima vez!

Always a lovely, friendly experience. I live nearby and often pop in for a coffee or cake. The staff are always helpful, very polite and warm even when other customers are rude. Beautiful views of the park.

The Lakeside at Roundhay Park has a great position at the bottom of the Waterloo lake with superb views across the lake, swans, ducks, etc.I visit a couple of times a month to have breakfast and meet up with various friends. I always have either a bacon or a sausage sandwich and I have never had better anywhere else. The rolls are large and very well filled. They are also high quality. With an excellent latte alongside, they make a very good breakfast. There is however, a wide range of other breakfast choiced to suit all tastes. The cafe offers a children's menu and later in the day there are many salads, sandwiches, hot lunches, cakes a desserts. Prices are higher than in some other cafes but, in my opinion, the Lakeside provides good value.

Went in to buy some water to go with a sandwich. The water cost £2.10. After my sandwich, I went in to get an ice cream. (Raspberry Shortcake) Amazing ice cream!

We came in the cafe before the Ed Sheeran concert to have a warm, the weather was dreadful! Initially our coffee and cake was fine. My daughter bought 2 alcoholic drinks for £12. When I went back to buy the same 2 drinks it was £9. My daughter questioned this when she went back to the bar and because she didn’t have a receipt they refused to believe her. She offered to show them her banking app but someone behind the bar suggested it might not have been for that purchase. Do the staff have so much mistrust? It’s very sad if they do. It was only £3 but someone behind the bar didn’t know what they were doing and the staff member concerned was very awkward. Such a shame because the cafe is in a beautiful setting.There was a lovely young girl on the till who was extremely pleasant.

I have written a good review before about The Lakeside Cafe but have been very disappointed recently. Firstly the gran hacienda chardonnay we always order has been changwd for another inferior wine, same price though. We asked about this and incredulously was told that they have never stocked it!!. May be I have been in a parallel unverse for years but the gran hacienda chardonnay was such a favourite of ours that we used to order it online so obviously haven't made a mistake. Also they changed the bread they always used for their tuna sandwiches to a county loaf type. Again was told that nothing had changed!! It's a case of changing something that was good for something cheaper to make bigger profits, thinking no one wlll care/notice. But if prices have gone up, we don't mind paying a bit more. We were never away from Roundhay Park and this cafe but have only visited twice this year. Profits must be down as we used to spend quite a bit in the cafe. We sent an email but this was ignored. We used to get emails to advise of events such as Christmas Dinners and other special events but this has stopped. Very disappointing.

Pasamos el día en el mundo tropical y habíamos visto el pequeño café mientras estábamos en el parque Roundhay. La comida era excelente ya un precio razonable. El café en sí está en el lago con una bonita vista y tiene área para comer al aire libre. Personal amable, educado y profesional. Lo único negativo son los inodoros, no estoy seguro si el café o el consejo de Leeds los cuidan, pero no alcanzaron un nivel aceptable. La mesa para cambiar pañales estaba sucia, buen trabajo, siempre tomo un cambio de toallitas mate y anti-bac. Solo necesitan un buen exfoliante y luego 5 estrellas hasta el final. El café es encantador y limpio y este estándar debe mantenerse en todo el edificio. Volveremos de nuevo.

Visitamos este café el 18 de julio y recibimos un servicio muy molesto por parte del gerente del stand. A pesar de haber pedido 4 comidas para adultos, cafés y postres, nos dijeron que no le hubiéramos dado de comer a mi hijo de 6 meses con una tina pequeña de comida para bebés. Terminé dándole de comer afuera en el banco. Venimos a esta cafetería a menudo y el servicio es excelente. El gerente es muy trabajador y dedicado y el personal de camareras es encantador. Qué pena que tuviéramos una experiencia tan perturbadora hoy.

Great views of the lake and very tasty food. Not cheap but excellent quality and a very pleasant place to eat and drink

Nos reunimos con mi hija y sus dos hijos pequeños y almorzamos aquí.

Called in for a tea and we were really good and choose fruit salad with sorbet

Fuimos aquí porque el café en el mundo tropical no tenía una gran elección y pensé que sería más barato que la Mansión. Cuando llegamos a este lugar, teníamos que sentarnos y conseguir algo. Toda la comida caliente es 12 o más y no es nada especial. Comí una lasaña con pan de ajo, ni siquiera venía con un poco de ensalada. Fue lo suficientemente agradable, pero podría haber obtenido lo mismo o mejor por menos dinero en la mayoría de los otros lugares.

Firstly we were charged £6 FOR A JACKET POTATO WITH BUTTER! This wasn’t listed on the menu so where they got their prices from I don’t know! When I complained about the price and said you can get 4 jacket potato’s for a pound from the supermarket, the attitude of the staff was that they couldn’t care less! To say this place is overpriced is a massive understatement. Also when I went to the baby change toilet to change my sons nappy it was filthy and the bins were overflowing with dirty nappies. Don’t bother with this place and take some sandwiches instead. Disgusting! And I have reviewed this cafe elsewhere and they don’t bother to respond to your comments which says it all really.... not interested in customer service.

Lovely location in the park but 20 mins queuing for a coffee! The staff appear so laid back they are nearly asleep, there is no “hustle” Food is very expensive.

Expensive busy café that has a captivated audience as there is nowhere else.

Ordered cheese panini for lunch, very thin slice of cheese in panini, couldn’t taste it and wasn’t cooked. Very over priced,

While visiting Leeds for a couple of days we went for a walk in Roundhey Park, we stopped at the cafe for lunch. It is a lovel cafe with friendly staff and nice views. I am gluten free and there was lots of choice I had sandwich, chips and scone with cream and jam. Been gluten free it was a nice treat to have scones. All the food my husband and I had was delicious.

i was in a business meeting in the leeds area and needed a drink so i decided to try out the lake side cafe! amazing view looking out of the lake and the park! shocking customer service very miserable staff and the atmosphere there wasn’t any! they all looked liked they didn’t want to be there!! at least have some music or at least smile!!! it’s such a shame as it could be so much better!! The plants need to be watered as well they look as bad as the staff!! i mite give it another go and see if any thing as changed!

Had lunch here with my son after a walk round Waterloo lake. It's a pleasant setting with both indoor & outdoor seating, both having views of the lake.

We took our 2 year old granddaughter to the park on Monday and when it started to rain we went for an unplanned lunch at The Lakeside Cafe. And how glad we were that we did! We got a window seat where the ducks and swans could easily be observed as we waited for the food, which really took no time despite being busy. Our toasted sandwiches and a serving of chips were very tasty. The ham in the sandwiches was plentiful and excellent quality. The tea was served in metal pots with accompanying hot water and fresh milk. ( Not a tea bag in a cup and milk sitting about on the side for hours as in some places!)

I visited The Lakeside Cafe today along with my husband. We have always wanted to visit the cafe. On arrival we liked the views of roundhay. The cafe was a let down as the food was average. The cakes looked really nice on the display however they were dry and tasteless. The smoked salmon bagel was a let down to. The salmon was dry there was minimal cream cheese. I feel the prices are expensive for what we got. The service was ok could have been better.

Had cottage pie and veg for lunch and mint tea in the afternoon. Was the Tuesday in half term. Very noisy. Food great Service great

Great views of the lake and staff cleared tables quickly. Nice spot for a coffee, good toilet facilities. Lots of tasty cakes on offer and hot food.

El último crítico tal vez no piense que es caro, pero creo que más de 18 por 6 bebidas calientes después de hacer cola durante más de 20 minutos es un poco atrevido.

Visitamos entre Navidad y Año Nuevo y nos decepcionó mucho!

Visité este café después de un paseo por Roundhay Park con nuestra hija de un año. Estaba muy ocupado y es muy popular, pero de alguna manera encontramos una mesa.

Fuimos por una bebida caliente y un pastel después de una tarde caminando por el parque. El letrero dice que se cierra a las 1700 horas y, sin embargo, se fue al mostrador a las 1620 horas y se rechazó por "estamos cerrados".

Siempre me ha gustado esta cafetería por la vista y el hecho de que disfruto del parque en general, el personal siempre es encantador. Sin embargo. . . 4 por un trozo de pastel de zanahoria vegana que era tan aceitoso que el aceite dejó un charco en el plato era un poco exorbitante.

Desayuné hoy en The Lakeside. Hermosa ubicación. El menú está lleno de promesas y el personal es amable y eficiente. Sin embargo, la comida era tibia y la calidad de la comida, especialmente las salchichas dejaba mucho que desear, no muy carnosa.

Stopped off here after a long bike ride! Very easy and efficient quick food, great view over the lake too. Worth a visit if you are around the area.

We decided we would make a visit to Roundhay Park for a walk around the lakeside. A beautiful day, a lovely stroll around, taking in the views, sitting on a bench, taking in the lovely sun. We thought we would take in the delights of the Lakeside cafe. A bit of a disappointment for me, as suffering from really bad stomach pains and sickness over the past month, I just needed something light. When I enquirered about the possibility of having a child size portion of quiche I was informed by a not so pleasant waitress,that they didn't do half portions (why not), ordered a slice, with side salad, managed to get through the salad, but left half the quiche. Not so enjoyable. When asking later on about the raspberry and almond shortcake ((whose plate had been empty since we arrived) were they bringing some more out and the same waitress told me shrilly that they had sold out of it, so why hadn't someone removed the tray earlier. Saying that the view being sat outside was wonderful, very peaceful. The young gentleman named Adam working on drinks/ pay counter was very pleasant, a welcome change. The price of cakes etc was a bit overpriced, a scone and the shortbread was £2.80 each how much does it cost to make scones and shortbread??.not sure if we would go again in the future, all depending on timings.

Visited for lunch with husband and 3 kids prices were ridiculous but paid at the till as the place looked nice and hoped the food would be good.

The Lakeside Cafe really is doing well these days. After the kitchen fire it was closed for a major refurb and this great new Cafe rose from the ashes. New furniture, new flooring and a new feel. The menu has been augmented - still offering hot & cold meals - plus soup, sandwiches & specials. I always go for the Lakeside Salad (an assortment of poached & smoked salmon along with marie rose prawns. Always lovely but sadly where the portion size has decreased somewhat the price has increased (to £10). Note: If you like peace & quiet with your coffee & newspaper beware of school summer holidays!! Also, counter service can be slow so patience is needed. Nevertheless - the Lakeside has great location...great feel...and good food. Always a good place to go.

The place is nice with really beautiful view, the coffe is so god , the cake and sandwiches are average .

We ordered a mixture of sandwiches, paninis and a salad as well as drinks. You queue to order your sandwiches etc and drinks and again to pay. My prawn marie rose sandwich was ok but the side salad was below par with bits of salad leaf that had gone brown. The paninis and salad seemed better. We did have to wait quite a while for our food to be served so bear that in mind if you’re in a hurry.

A very friendly, well-patronised café in Roundhay Park - a favourite of mums & tots. Excellent menu including gluten-free options, from a coffee to a full-blown meal at reasonable price. Lovely view of the lake, outside seating area for those with dogs. Downside is it's noisy & a bit cramped.

We visited the cafe on the Friday of Leeds half term. Therefore, we were expecting it to be busy however we did expect a better experience. There didn't seem to be enough staff to cope with the half term, lunch time rush. My husband stood in the queue for a good ten minutes to order food and then to get drinks and pay. The queuing system for drinks wasn't the best idea as it resulted in it being very slow. We sat down with drinks and cakes and waited half an hour for a sandwich and panini! By the time it came we had eaten our cakes and had our drinks. Service was incredibly slow. £24 for drinks, sandwiches and cakes was expensive and the service poor. Won't be rushing back.

Lovely first visit and very good first impressions.

Visited this cafe after a walk around Roundhay Park with friends and our babies. It has been recently refurbished but didn’t really look any different! There is a good choice of food and a large selection of cakes but it is quite pricey considering it isn’t waitress service (you are basically paying for the location!). I had a club sandwich, caramel shortbread and a drink and it was about £14!! It is a large venue though and ample space for pushchairs and so it is great for Mum meet ups!

The lunch-time menu is brilliant. Hot food, sandwiches, soups, cakes, drinks - extensive menu for every taste.

Visited yesterday, in lovely weather and surprised this place wasn't packed. Think the quality of the food has always been good, and the hot drinks. The staff are pleasant and efficient, but though the tray bakes and scones are reasonably priced, I don't understand why their sliced cakes are so highly priced. At £3.80 a portion, this seems far too high.

This should have been a gem, a lovely setting for a cafe with an interesting menu, and tempting looking cakes. Sadly it was let down by very high prices and very slow service. Having ordered four drinks, two panini and a sandwich I was not...

We have visited this Cafe/Restaurant periodically over the last 18 months and always find exactly what we wish, whatever time of day. Very good selection of freshly prepared food and snacks at sensible prices, served efficiently and with a smile.

Visited this Cafe and the park for a late breakfast. The food and service were of impeccable quality. The cakes were so fresh & delightful, as were the views. It can get busy- as it is a popular place. But a beautiful location. Great views...

We both have motorbikes and we often go here for a coffee and cake. Very relaxing sitting outside soaking up the sun .

I visited the cafe yesterday I asked for a Flat white and a latte I watched as they made them, the assistant made them both with the same milk that had been left with the steam arm resting in the jug. This is fine for...

If you have read any of my reviews before you'll make two obvious observations...1) my grammar and spelling isn't great and 2) I am extremely price sensitive. On this visit I have my sensitivity battered to a pulp. I was meeting a friend for coffee and picked this place as I hadn't visited in a long time and it was convenient. I ordered a full breakfast...not really fully engaging with the price list I as caught light a rabbit in headlights. At £9+ I was expecting a feast..it was near to lunchtime so I went for it. It rates as the most expensive I've ever had and certainly no where near my top ten. The sausages were a bog standard variety masquerading as a quality example. One rasher of bacon and one of everything else. Except beans...you get a few beans. No hash browns. All a bit pedestrian. Service was okay. I would revisit here as the location is pleasant and an easy landmark for meeting up. But I wouldn't have the breakfast again. Cakes are okay. Coffee is hit and miss (as reflected in Asmaa177). Tea doesn't come with hot water refills. Also... if you don't like push chairs and kids it can be annoying. Avoid.

Nipped in here for a quick cuppa on a day out in Leeds and we were pleasantly surprised of the views from the place we sat. The price is quite high but worth for the view.
