What wooleynuts969 likes about Lakeside Cafe:
A friendly team who will accommodate you wherever possible. Frequented a couple of times both for breakfast and lunch, and found the range available excellent and great value. View all feedback. What Gary S doesn't like about Lakeside Cafe:

I started coming to this cafe in 2018 when I worked across the road in the business park and now in 2024, even though I don't work on the business park anymore...

Nestled by the scenic lakeside near the University of Nottingham, this café offers a mixed bag of experiences. While some patrons rave about the fresh sandwiches, delicious soups, and friendly staff, others are disheartened by inconsistent food quality, cleanliness issues, and rude service. Notably, the café's popularity can lead to longer wait times during busy hours. Despite some negative encounters regarding pricing and menu limitations, many regulars appreciate the pleasant ambiance and variety of food options. As warmer seasons approach, visitors look forward to enjoying the café’s offerings on the terrace while overlooking the serene lake.
