The

Lakes

Welcome to The Lakes Cafe
& Owl Kitchen

Open Monday, Thursday & Friday, 10am-4pm

We offer a warm and welcoming retreat following those chilly autumn and winter walks and a space for a sit down and a rest after a warm summer afternoon in the park.

With our selection of all-day brunch, teas, freshly ground coffee, great hot treats and our famous homemade gluten free cakes and treats we offer something for every taste! We have WIFI and a garden, so why not pop in next time you're in the area?

We have indoor and outdoor seating and look forward to seeing you soon!

"Growing up I had two dreams – to be in a rock band and to have my own cafe.

In my misspent twenties I was in a girl-fronted punk band played on prime-time Radio 1! Then, after hanging up my bass guitar and having kids, I discovered how hard it is to find a place you can hang out with mates over a coffee while your kids play.

That drove me to turn the Lakes Cafe into the kind of place I would have loved, somewhere new parents can relax and anyone can feel at home. As a celiac it makes me angry that supermarket gluten free food is overpriced and pretty revolting, so the Cafe and my baking business Owl Kitchen makes sure gluten free doesn’t mean taste-free. So come along and enjoy our little oasis next to South Norwood Lake.

See you soon!"
