Wow! Came for a late breakfast today, and I must admit we've driven by it many times and not been in, but we'll definitely be back! I had the lacuna eggs benedict, which came with potato and feta hash cakes, and my husband had eggs on toast with bacon and avo. The food was really good, great coffee and fabulous service with a smile ! They also open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights so will be back to try that soon.

Was on holiday and came by this gem. Food is very generous in serving size, absolutely delicious, and the service was great. The coffee was made perfectly at a great temperature, lovely taste and was a creamy/smooth texture. Wishing I lived locally to visit this cafe again.

We went to Cafe Lacuna for my Mum's birthday with a table of 14 and they did up share plates which was soooo much food. Each dish was beautiful. Particular stand outs were the chicken pineapple main, the vege curry main, the sweet and sour chicken main and the pork belly. Yum. We go regularly for breakfasts but I haven't been for dinner so it was outstanding.

My experience was amazing with the excellent customer service, delicious food and a very thoughtful act with placing the apple juice for my toddler in a takeaway cup with a straw with this it helped reduced a lot of stress and i was able to enjoy my food. Every visit has always been received with the same high standard of service and great tasting food. It is a great breakfast spot to visit if you haven't already. Thank you!

This cafe is the best cafe in Wavell Heights area, there is no doubt about that. Great breakfast, plus you get dinner with drinks on Friday/Saturday nights. If you have not been there before, do yourself a favour - book a table. You won't regret!

What an absolutely amazing little gem of a place! My partner and I booked a table for a Friday night on a recommendation from a friend and we weren't disappointed! The wait staff were lovely and so friendly! The food was delicious! An all round exceptional experience. We will definitely be coming back.
