Reviews
Lydia's is a high Street cafe in Richmond with street parking and large carparks to the rear. The decor is nothing special. Really nice food here though, both cabinet and from the menu. The coffee is decent and the service prompt.

Called in for the good old morning coffee and sweet treats. Ginger Slice. I've been on the Nelson-Tasman best coffee , to my taste, and have these guys in my group of the 3 best. Very nice space with attention to sound quality with acoustic treatment to the ceiling allowing you to talk to and hear each other. I'll be back to hunt down the next sweet treat with a Coffee of course.

I'm so glad I found this cafe. I ordered the frittata (gf) and a banana & berry smoothie - both delicious. Lovely staff, prompt service, a convivial atmosphere & clean facilities. Well done.馃憤
