"You have to try this place 10/10 Best food, coffee service and atmosphere 👌"
"The food was fine but small for the price and not worth an hour wait."
"They also offer a great selection of drinks and premium wines."
4 food was decent i ordered eggs benedict but it has a massive egg shell in it that made me gag when eating it…pancakes was good. coffee was alright but i’ve had better. atmosphere is nice and clean looking. service was friendly.
4 Lumi Lane is a great cafe located on the cusp of Lightsview and Northgate. The menu has a good range of options, and the pricing is quite on par with most cafes in the surrounding suburbs. We enjoyed the chicken burger and chips, and have had breakfasts, rolls/wraps and coffees here before too. The staff are kind and the decor is nice also. You can sit inside or outside and there is lots of parking within the Drakes carpark. Friends have also commented that the açai bowls and matcha are great here too but i'm yet to try them myself.
5 Fantastic coffee house, the kitchen was closing, however they filled our orders. My Salmon Royal was yummy, no Brioche so I had a Bagel, OMG the Bagel was soooo fresh and the chilli eggs with Salmon that my daughter had looked scrumptious. We will definitely come again, earlier.
5 This was my fourth visit to Lumi Lane and my wife's second. We enjoyed having a spontaneous lunch on the go here today. Cafe was clean and bright. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant and food was fresh and delicious. Chili eggs and Smashed Avocado were both on point, with eggs cooked perfectly. Almond cappuccino and spiced dirty chai were also on point.... So we'll definitely be back!!
5 This would be one of the best places I've eaten at in the last 3000 kilometres and 6 weeks of travelling. I recommend the brunch menu, don't be scared of the Lumi Large breakfast, I've had bigger,but not better. The service was quick and friendly. Thoroughly recommend.
5 We had a birthday hosted here and it was terrific! Food came out within 10 minutes of ordering, drinks were delicious & large sizing! All generous portions, quick to clear tables once finished! We couldn’t fault them at all. Thanks for having us, definitely will be back!
4 Great spot for coffee and catch-up. Lovely, light and airy space, beautifully set up. Food and drinks are well executed. Friendly staff, however more welcoming and instructions needed for first timers.
The Labneh Eggs and Eggs Benedict are highly recommended, along with their fresh bagels and various brunch options.
Both options work well here—you can enjoy a quick lunch or take your time over brunch in a cozy, casual setting.
