Avana Lounge – cafe review
It may have only been open for a few weeks, but with its peach colour scheme, orange signs and patterned frosted windows, Avana Lounge already stands out on the Gloucester Road.
This new Middle Eastern-style cafe is owned by the same team as Lona restaurant a few hundred yards away on the other side of the road and occupies a building that was most recently Lashings cafe.
With an opening time of 2pm, Avana Lounge’s menu is currently limited to desserts, milkshakes, smoothies and hot drinks, as well as shishas.
is needed now More than ever
I ordered a strawberry, banana, and chocolate waffle for £4.50 and a hot chocolate for £2.50. Service was quick and friendly, and I could see my food being prepared behind the counter.
Arriving perfectly warm, the waffle had undertones of apple and cinnamon. Accompanying the waffle and fresh fruit was a smooth, creamy scoop of ice cream of vanilla ice cream and enough whipped cream to satisfy anyone’s inner child.
I left feeling impressed, my afternoon cravings fulfilled. Avana Lounge has a lot of promise, as long as it manages to establish itself not solely because of its bright colours.
