Breakfast in Barking Park: Where to Start Your Morning by the Lake

There’s something about breakfast by the lake that makes the morning feel a little slower.

At LakeView Café & Kitchen in Barking Park, breakfast starts from 8:30 AM, with coffee, fresh pastries and a brunch menu made for everything from quick morning stops to long, relaxed catch-ups.

And because breakfast is available all day, there’s no need to rush.

Breakfast in the heart of Barking Park

LakeView Café & Kitchen sits right in Barking Park, beside Magical Unicorn Lake, making it an easy place to stop before or after a walk, meet friends for brunch or bring the family for a morning out.

You can grab a coffee and croissant, sit down for something more substantial or stay a little longer and enjoy the lakeside atmosphere.

It’s breakfast without the hurry.

Our take on breakfast classics

Our breakfast and brunch menu puts a LakeView twist on familiar favourites.

Instead of traditional toast, several of our dishes are served on our signature 72-hour fermented dough, giving breakfast a little more character.

The English Sunrise

A breakfast-inspired favourite made with fior di latte, baked eggs and turkey rashers. It’s familiar, comforting and a little different from your usual full English.

Shakshuka

Rich spiced tomato and pepper sauce, baked eggs, crumbled feta, fresh parsley, chilli flakes and olive oil. Warm, full of flavour and perfect when you want something savoury to start the day.

Garden Avocado

Smashed avocado with mixed seeds, fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil. Fresh, simple and ideal for a lighter breakfast or brunch.

Dolce Vita

For mornings that deserve something sweeter. Nutella, fresh banana, strawberries and a light dusting of icing sugar make this one part breakfast, part treat.

Fresh bakery favourites

Sometimes breakfast only needs two things: good coffee and something buttery.

Our Fresh Bakery selection includes:

• Plain Butter Croissant

• Pain au Chocolat

• Almond Croissant

• Croissant + Any Hot Coffee

Perfect for a quick breakfast in Barking Park or an easy morning coffee by the lake.

Coffee first?

We get it. Our hot coffee menu includes classics such as espresso, macchiato, Americano, flat white, cappuccino, latte and mocha, alongside matcha for something a little different.

If the weather calls for something colder, there’s iced coffee too.

So whether you’re meeting someone for breakfast, walking through Barking Park or just need caffeine before the day properly starts, we’ve got you covered.

A family-friendly breakfast in Barking

LakeView is designed to be somewhere families can actually relax. With Barking Park, Splashy Land and Magical Unicorn Lake right nearby, breakfast can easily become the beginning of a full family day out.

Start with coffee and pastries, take a walk around the park, visit the lake and come back later for pizza, drinks or something sweet. No complicated itinerary required.

Breakfast all day

Not everyone wants breakfast at 8:30 in the morning. That’s why our breakfast and brunch selection is available all day.

Whether you’re an early riser or someone whose idea of breakfast starts closer to lunchtime, you can still order your favourites.
