Was really excited to try this spot in Cleveland Circle but we had a rough experience here, specifically with drinks and service.

We were seated for 20 minutes with no service, and the staff only came to our table after I went to the counter and asked if we were meant to order through the website or with a staff member - we weren’t told what to do when we were seated.

I ordered a $6 iced matcha latte which was disappointing - really large clumps of chalky, bland matcha powder made it difficult to drink. We had four members in our party - one with a severe nut allergy which we were told they would accommodate, and we all ordered food at the same time. The two Mediterranean breakfasts came out quickly - eggs were very under seasoned, but the pita, labneh and salad were great. We waited another 15 minutes for the pancake meal, which came with Nutella despite us stressing the nut allergy to our waitress.

The fourth meal and sides never arrived, despite our probing the wait staff after about 45 minutes and the rest of us finishing our meals. The waitress stressed that the dishes were coming but after an additional 25 minutes, we asked the missing items be removed from the bill, at which point we found out that they was never added.

The odd thing is that the place seemed over staffed - there were at least 10 members of the waitstaff in the cafe but it was difficult for us to get assistance from any of them.

Ended up making a second trip to Eagle down the street for a breakfast burrito to make up for the missing meal. Cafe Landwer is a super cute spot, and the food is fine, but the coffee and drinks are absolutely not worth it, the price points are very hefty for relatively basic and under-seasoned food, and the service is really lacking here. I don’t leave many negative reviews and was sorry to leave this one .
