Cafe Lavista - London

If you haven't tried this place, you must! Their rainbow cake is the best cake around! I visit Brick Lane a couple of times a year, and every day I have to come in and grab a slice!

I arrived today and of course took a slice back to the hotel. I've now just been back for 2 more slices and will be back tomorrow before I leave.

The cake not only looks pretty, but it tastes amazing. Soft and moist cake with delicious sweet buttercream. Plus each slice is literally the same size as my hand.

My only wish is that they did a loyalty card where you get a stamp for each purchase!

The lovely ladies behind the counter are so friendly and welcoming.

We visited this café today and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the cookies and cream waffle, and my wife went for the white Kinder crepe. Both desserts were beautifully presented and tasted absolutely amazing—rich, indulgent, and full of flavour. The service was impressively fast, and all the staff were friendly and had warm, welcoming smiles. The atmosphere of the café was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a treat. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

They were super nice. They didn’t have a strawberry Nutella crêpe on the menus, but were able to custom make it. 👍👍

This is one of the best places to have a coffee or eat around Brick Lane.

My office is super close and I absolutely love coming here during my lunch time to relax for a bit before I have to go back.

The ambience is amazing, the service is great, and the food is always super tasty.
The girls make so much effort to make everything good, and they always greet you with a big smile.

100% recommend!

Really nice shop and the 2 young ladies there are very friendly and helpful. The tea/coffee and the cakes ( the ones I have tried: red velvet cake, pistachio cake and rainbow cakes) are high quality and great tasting. Great place to meet friends in Brick Lane. I have no qualms recommending it.

Visited for the first time and i really like it.

Well decorated, charming sight, cool atmosphere and cleanliness makes it even better.

I had Banana cookies waffles as one of the staff suggested and it might not the best one, but of course not a bad option.

You can have a great time with family and friends, on a very common location of east london.

Nearing the end of our London Day outing, my friend and I chanced upon this totally unexpected Icecream Parlour in Brick Lane.
I had a yearning for Icecream.
The restaurant was very bright with a lots of neon lighting and large tables with seating around 3 sides.
We chose to sit at the table further away from the entrance as it looked more secluded.
Once we had settled, we walked up to the counter. I headed for the Icecream counter. Being a chocoholic, I asked the young server which one she recommended. She pointed to a plain chocolate one. I asked her for a taster which she put on a small spoon. That was quite nice and creamy. Adjacent to that was labelled Ferrero Rocher. I tried that too and my eyes lit up.
So that is the generous scoop I had in a cup.
My friend had a large latte, which was very nicely presented.
We then returned to our table and chatted and ate and drank are respective treats.
My Ferrero Rocher Icecream was unbelievably tasty, have never had that before, but now it is is certainly on my tick list for future consumption.

The bright illuminated envoirmnent looked amazing and the venue looked quite out of place, not something I would have imagined I would come across in that Street.
But it has most definitely made my tick list of places to enjoy a treat.
Whilst we were there chatting, my friend got up and went and got me 2 more scoops of the Ferrero Rocher Icecream whilst she had a very loaded Sunday.
This was the perfect conclusion to our London Outing.
Definitely worth a visit👌

The desserts were not good for the price we paid. The classic fruit sundae was one scoop of ice cream that had melted, no fruit & they tried to cover it all up with fake whipped cream, we sent this back for the pistachio ice cream & again one scoop of ice cream & covered in fresh cream, the worst ice cream sundae, the cookie dough was small & in a single egg pan not event a skillet, will never go there again.
