I had a lunch at this cozy cafe. The restaurants on the main street seemed more touristy places, but this cafe seemed to be loved by local people. Sandwiches were very simple, but it tasted really good. I liked the rock salt on the surface. I recommend this cafe if you have a lunch in Leura.

The place is just off the main road but definitely worth seeking out! If you are looking for lunch or even a quick coffee stop I would recommend Laneway. The coffee was nice and strong and the toastie was probably one of the best I've had. Staff were also friendly.

Quaint Cafe in a quiet alley. Food was fresh and delicious. The baked goods are home made and taste splendid. Definitely the place to swing past on the way out of Leura in the morning

A small spot for Toasties, baked goods and coffee. Really good service. Coffee was good, not the best in the area but definitely good. Toasties priced at $16 each and whilst nice, I don't believe it was worth the price point. Wouldn't mind coming back to try some muffins

Nice little cafe, just off the Main Street next to the post office. Pay attention at the location, currently in google maps is mislocated. It’s across the street from the pin . So NOT next to the westpac. We really liked the food, but the cappuccino was medium.

Consistent Coffee (thanks Shannon)…matters a lot to locals. Always at Laneway for me. Best toasties too. This week’s sweet treat was a “passionfruit tart”…10/10.
