Customer Review Summary
Friendly, quick service is what reviewers raise most, with servers called lovely and attentive, and one small mishap corrected with grace. Close behind is the setting, described as relaxing, beautiful and aesthetic, with one reviewer noting how pink it is and another a Middle Eastern vibe. On the plate, diners single out the waffle and French toast, an iced biscoff latte called refreshing and different, freshly squeezed orange juice, desserts, and cocktails from the bar. The criticisms are specific. One reviewer found the La vie special breakfast good but disjointed, wishing for a sauce to pull the plate together, and a partner's La vie breakfast got a similar rating. Another found many menu items unavailable, and a third had orders arrive at different times, so the French toast came late and the couple could not eat together. A few mention it is always busy and noisy, and views on prices split between affordable and pricey. One server apologised repeatedly over the missing items, though it was not her fault.

“a slightly underwhelming experience as a lot of the items on the menu, weren’t available. the lady who served us was so sweet and incredibly apologetic, tho it wasn’t her fault! defo on the pricey side and cleanliness wasn’t the best.”

“Lovely little cafe with a wide range drinks and food. I had an iced biscoff latte which was refreshing and different. Its nice to see places with a variety of drinks to try! I would definitely return for another drink. The staff were really friendly and I got served quickly.”

“The service was 10/10 and the atmosphere was relaxing, beautiful and aesthetic. And Motaz’s service was absolutely amazing, he was funny and helped us with anything we needed. The food and coffee was delicious too. 100% would recommend!!!”

“I had the La vie special breakfast. While it was good, I think the taste was a bit disjointed. Everything in the plate had no way of coming together in taste (can’t explain it), maybe a sauce would have helped bring all the different bits together. My boyfriend had the la vie breakfast and he also rated his a 3.5. I enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice but I’ve had better breakfast.”

“If you ever need a place to just relax and feel the "Middle Eastern vibe" then this is your place. The team based here were absolutely lovely. I felt great having a quite moment here after getting lost in the city centre, easily done! 😄 Thank you La Vie Cafe for the 10/10 experience. Here are some pictures I took, consent provided by the staff. Luxury at its finest. Hidden Gem but aesthetically pleasing.🫶 I will be back for sure..”
