    Lovely little neighbourhood cafe with interesting selection of food options. Service was slow but the meals came out quickly after ordering. Would recommend but a bit pricey for what you got.

    Have visited Lorna a number of times now and it hasn’t changed - and I hope it never does. Vibrant atmosphere, happy, polite, and friendly staff offering professional service, and the food …. Sensational!

    A semi local to us we know to book in advance. The food is always exceptional and fresh. The coffee is some of the best in the neighborhood. The staff are well trained and friendly. With an egg shortage we were told that eggs could only be fried or scrambled at the moment due to quality issues but regardless they were absolutely delicious. We’ll always come back.

    Quite the gem! Lorna is a beautifully designed, unassuming cafe tucked away in a strip mall area. The drink options are fantastic - coffee, tea, juice, kombucha, and many more. The food menu had a nice variety of brunch-like dishes, which was perfect for our Sunday birthday brunch after the 1000 steps trail. My partner enjoyed poached eggs on sourdough and chips. The vegan poke bowl was nicely presented, and the waiter and chef kindly accommodated some specific requests with the dish. Overall, Lorna was a perfect find and special place - one to come back to for sure.

    A group of ten of us ate here for a Sunday Brunch. Food was delicious and everyone was happy with their meals. Service was great and there was plenty of room around our table. Noise level was minimal so we were able to talk easily.
