The Lions Den Cafe in Waverley

Friendly accommodating staff who always have a welcoming smile delicious food lovely environment Always a pleasure visiting this venue

Driven past for a year, looked inviting so was looking forward to taking my Daughter here for a treat. Oh dear. My breakfast, bacon, sausage over cooked, egg under cooked. Mushrooms & toast were fine. My Daughters wrap soggy with an overcooked sausage. Coffee unexceptional & served in a child’s milkshake glass ?? Asked at check out & gave my opinion, young girl disappeared, a more mature lady appeared, made no comment or apology & charged full amount. So I did not leave a tip for service, & we will not return. Haslemere has plenty of choice, even Costa is superior.

the most sigma place in town food is very lovely 😋 staff are very lovely 🥰 dogs are welcome 🐕 and the new midhurst cafe is also very sigma

Honestly one of my favourite places to go ever! Staff are always so lovely and attentive. The coconut latte is to die for and the avo/poached egg on toast is just perfection every time. Highly recommend

What gem of a place which we found by accident Great service from a young man named todd He definitely knows about hospitality and how to look after customers what a asset he is to this business The food was excellent presented beautifully A lovely place highly recommend

Friendly, warm & welcoming! Had a lovely family catch up at this little cafe and really enjoyed the experience. Staff were great and attentive and a lovely selection of pastries. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely place to go , comfortable with a lovely atmosphere. The staff are really nice and very child friendly. The food is excellent with a wide range of vegi options. My favourite place to go for brunch .

We ordered the full english breakfast and it arrived cold. It would have been a really nice breakfast if it was warm. It’s a shame and hoping when they open the one in midhurst the food will be warm

I went in a bit late, but thankfully they still accommodated me which was muchly needed and appreciated after a stressful day. I had the Simba smoothie which has pineapple, mango, Apple Juice and coconut. The straw a bit awkward, but the drink was absolutely delicious 😋 almost like a healthy milkshake I had the avocado, poached eggs and pinenuts on toast. Finally! A smashed avocado that is actually smashed whereas many places make it diced so the name is just confusing - this place did it right from service, to content 😄 Thank you for brightening my day Lion's Den Café 😄

We had the misfortune of ordering the poached eggs with guacamole on toast. The slice of sourdough toast was tiny and I would describe the guacamole as a spread rather than a topping. The poached eggs were hard. Overall the dishes lacked any flavour or seasoning. Considering these dishes are £9 each I would say poor value for money. Nobody bothered to find out how our meal was so I didn’t tell them.

Black hair within the veggie wrap. No follow-up, no apology, no discount (not that fussed on a discount, more a simple 'sorry about that' would've been great. We were really smiley about the hair as these things happen, no biggie, and then stunned at the disinterest). The meal was changed for one without hair. My meal wasn't great - I couldn't really eat it. I told the (a lovely one) waitress I am gluten free and she went and checked and said no worries, can do a gluten free wrap. Fab. After a while, another waitress comes and says can I eat the onion in the wrap, which may have touched gluten, and beetroot with barley. I say I'll scrap the beetroot but if only a tiny bit on the onion, that should be OK (I was planning to eat around any bits that had gluten, we were in a rush and just wanted lunch). Food shows up; there is loads of onion in the wrap and it is battered in flour. Can't see the actual onion, only the batter. That is not 'may be a bit' - that is full battered in flour. Couldn't eat it. Spent five minutes digging it all out. Rest of wrap was not tasty. Way too much sauce, a couple pieces of gherkin, lettuce and apparently seeds (didn't see any). Waitress came to give us our bill - a blonde lady who is consistently lovely, not guaranteed here - and we left. Never to return...the food quality and service is simply not very good. Coffee was delicious.

Met friends here for breakfast on Sunday. Couldn't fault the quality of the food, coffee and service. Relaxed atmosphere, will definitely return, as will my friends.

Love this place. Food is excellent. Lots of vegan options. Everything is tasty and hearty. Good cakes and coffees too. Friendly staff.

Fantastic independent cafe with beautiful coffee and the best food! All Greek inspired and freshly cooked. All of their options are amazing, especially their no meat burgers which fool even a meat eater like me! Would recommended to anyone. Best in Haslemere by far. They even replaced a flat white free of charge after I dropped it accidentally! Great staff so thank you!

I go here a lot with friends. I also got the take away breakfast last year for my mums birthday. I love it here! The waiters and waitresses are friendly and the milkshakes are delicious! A good selection of drinks and snacks too. Definitely would recommend!

Been here a few times now and always enjoy the food - would recommend the Dirty Den toastie and also the sausage wrap! Indoors is very sweet and it’s great that they have expanded their outdoor seating. Plenty of tasty veggie options too!

Popped in while car was being serviced. Beautiful latte and. Divine sausage sandwich. Fresh local sausage was gorgeous but the star was the wondeful rustic bread and onion chutney Really good friendly service based in warm genuine smiles. Highly recommended

We came here on a recommendation from a staff member at the music shop up the hill. It was nice to be able to support an independent business for once, as we usually end up in costa or somewhere like that. We had two hot chocolates and two dishes. The bacon sandwich had a very generous amount of bacon and was very warm. The hot chocolates seemed pricey (though we did go for the 'fully-loaded' option) but were quite nice. The meal turned out to be quite a lot as we probably could've done fine on a smaller amount of food. There were cakes at the counter but the staff didn't give us any information about them, and we didn't get enough time to look at them on the way in. The staff were otherwise quite lovely, and one in particular gave the young family next to us some plastic toys to keep their children entertained. The place was very well kept, especially the bathroom facilities in the back of the cafe.

We visited here with our daughter and my wife and our dog. They are very welcoming and the place was clean warm and comfortable.

Amazing smell of fresh coffee as you walk in. Service was great, staff very friendly and polite, food was excellent and the pricing is very reasonable. We'll be back!

The cafe opened for a special burger evening. This was the first time I've visited and have to say it's one of the nicest places I've eaten. Modern and interesting decor, good background music, great food and service with a friendly welcome. Not to be missed.

We had jackfruit for the first time as so many people have told us about this wonderful wrap at The Lions Den. And they were right - incredibly tasty and large and a welcome warming lunch on a cold rainy day. We Will definitely go...

I was passing by and like to support small independent business's so thought I would grab a drink rather than buy one in M&S. The woman at the till looked completely fed up and told me I should be ordering at the takeaway point. I...

Lovely relaxed atmosphere in welcoming surroundings. Friendly staff. Yummy food and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended.

Amazing little find! Food was incredible and beautifully prepared. Even the humble toasted cheese sandwich came with an incredible onion chutney! Friendly staff, and definitely a sneaky stop just off the A3 in future!

I love the atmosphere at this place, it has quirky modern indoor decor and really friendly staff. Great selection of coffees, soft drinks and ciders and a nice selection of pastries on offer too. They cater for gluten intolerances and offer Vegan options as well....

We come here often, and have done since it opened. The staff are super friendly, the decor is trendy and the food is simplistic and tasty. Best vegan breakfast and snacks you'll find for a long way.

Good selection for either breakfast, lunch or tea. I’ve had the all day breakfast a few times which is amazing, particularly the quality of ingredients as I think they are locally sourced.

Nice place to sit, friendly staff & quirky decor...... the coffee was terrible. Very acidic blend, bland & not very well made. (Choose your milk wisely, the alternatives used are not the best) If you are serious about coffee this is not the place for...

Just what Haslemere needed! Lovely atmosphere, good menu. Coffee was great only issue was once it got busy the orders seemed to get messy and waiting times for coffee took a long while. I needed to cancel my last coffee order because we had already...

Popped into The Lion’s Den as we escaped from the rain. It had a cosy atmosphere with soft music playing and nice seating. Ordered a latte and hot chocolate. The latte came with a cute chocolate wafer to enjoy and good looking milk, nice latte...

A nice friendly atmosphere, and when I visited, 11:30 on Tuesday, not too cramped. The decaf coffee is a feature but the decaf tea bags disappointing. Prices were good value and staff were efficient, friendly and wanted to be helpful; but a couple of practises...

We came here for coffee before meeting friends. The coffee was good and even better with the pasta da nata I chose. It was lovely to sit outside in the fresh air. Later we came back and had lunch inside. My all-day breakfast was excellent-...

Stopped here for breakfast on a rainy morning. It was packed inside which only could be a good sign. I had full English and quite enjoyed it. It's nice that they use local products. Service was good. But i wish there was more space between...

This is a nice place to have just around the corner, and the service is to. I like the idea of locally produced food and catering well for vegetarians and vegans as well. It’s a place with nice character but a bit of a tight...

Enjoyed a few trips here lately - a lovely coffee and bites with a friend then brunch with friends and their children. Imaginative menu, perfectly sized portions, friendly service and a fab atmosphere. We'll be back.

Friendly and helpful service. We liked the different styles of table and seating to choose from. Thank you for the lovely lunch. Everyone found something they wanted.

We came across the Lions Den as we had stopped to get a few bits from the nearby M&S food hall.. So glad we did! We were welcomed by really friendly staff and Charlie the collie was immediately given a bowl of water, we were...

This is a fantastic local place, serving freshly made and delicious food with the best coffee (and beer) around. The staff are kind and attentive. They have all dietry needs in hand and the surroundings are relaxing and well thought out. If you go in...

This was our first visit to this new cafe in Weyhill, Haslemere - we’ll definitely be back! Stylish surroundings, interesting, different menu, delicious food, excellent coffee, lovely service. Our only criticism is that the tables are rather cramped - but we love everything else. A...

This is a delightful cafe with lovely staff. Excellent coffee and food (with GF options). Well designed too without being too hipster. Really enjoyed my brunch. Would go back without question.

We love our visits to The Lion's Den - it's cosy, friendly and often bustling, but the staff are attentive and efficient, however busy it gets. The food is amazing - we love the delicious homemade cakes and brownies and take them away to eat...

You don't have a lot of space between tables so rather cramped, fairly expensive, full of mums and kids so can get noisey.

Open til 4 but stop serving hot food when we arrived at 3. Sandwiches were pre made and curling at the edges, mugs are bigger than the tea pots and really tight on the jam and cream portions for the scones. I really do not...

Popped in for lunch as I had heard great things from local friends. We weren’t disappointed! The cafe was busy, the service friendly, lovely choice of locally sourced produce on the menu. Our food was hot & delicious. My only complaint would be the salt...

This venue has bene changed from a sleepy (but excellent) Cup Cake Cafe to a vibrant cafe and eatery. The food is fresh, locally sourced and delivered hot and fast. The owner and staff are welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious and they had...
