LAVENDER Cafe & Bistro

Crema's Take
“Lavender Cafe & Bistro is a Mediterranean-inspired gem where exceptional coffee meets equally impressive food, from their signature lavender pancakes to wild-caught salmon prepared with quality olive oil that clearly matters to the owners. The warmth here is genuine—attentive service and an owner who genuinely cares about accommodating dietary needs create an atmosphere where you'll want to linger over breakfast or brunch with someone special. This is the kind of place where locals become regulars and visitors leave wishing they lived nearby.”

Very good Mediterranean food. Full price, but worth it. The falafel was very interesting as was the eggplant. Wild caught salmon. You won't get unhealthy seed oils here! EVOO on everything!
UNBELIEVABLE!! My biggest takeaway is that if I were a local, I’d be a regular here. The food? Absolutely to die for. The service? Very attentive, and everyone was so friendly. The owner was especially the sweetest and very accommodating, we loved him! The vibes? Immaculate. So well decorated and the ambience was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!
One word: DELICIOUS. Best brunch/breakfast spot in Naples. We made reservations. I had the lavender pancakes🤤- it was perfect- lavender not too strong / overpowering and not too mild where you wonder if it’s even lavender pancakes. It was 3 and they were not too dense; perfect way I like my pancakes. excellent. Not too sweet but still had the lavender flavor and sauce. It didn’t even need and I didn’t use syrup. My husband had french toast and cappuccino. I had the lavender cappuccino with oat milk. Gosh it was so good. Excellent service from walking in to leaving. The owner/ manager was excellent, friendly, hospitable and inclusive. He made me feel so welcomed and check in with us. 10/10. I wish they had more locations 😂
What an amazing experience. This restaurant was the most incredible find. The staff were so friendly and accommodating to my wife’s gluten intolerance and her gluten free pasta was so good I couldn’t get a picture fast enough. My lamb shank in prune sauce was melt off the bone and incredibly flavorful… cooked and presented perfectly. The owner was humble and friendly and answered questions about the dish when asked with pride in his dishes. Our party of six enjoyed this incredible find very much.
My wife and I are always looking for a nice place to eat and enjoy each other's company. The atmosphere and food did just that. We've even tried something we've never had before which was suggested by our waitress. Pleased to say we were pleased. Thank for providing such a place and great service.
