Love Lily Sunderland in Sunderland

"My wife asked me to find somewhere nice to have breakfast on our way back home from an overnight wedding do. I found Love Lily’s on Google maps, and it fitted the bill. Parking was easy, a matter of a hundred yards or so, and 60 pence per hour is brilliant. There is an outdoor seating area but it’s not covered, and it was raining. There was a small queue, but waited about 5 minutes and we were greeted and seated. The menu is quite varied, and the drink selection is great too. We ordered our Coffees while we searched for our food. I’m dairy intolerance, and my needs were met with no problem, I did have to fill in a small questionnaire, presumably to cover them, but it’s no problem at all. We decided on the American Breakfast, a sort of traditional with pancakes. (Pancakes are fine as the milk is cooked, I just can’t have raw dairy) The food turned up and looked amazing, really well presented. My only criticism was the potatoes were only just warm, everything else was hot. The service was really good, though we had to ask for cutlery once we got our food. I would definitely come back, it’s a place where it’s a treat to go. It was spotlessly clean, friendly staff and the prices were what we expected. Thank you. Visited again, different food this time, great service, great food and drink. Took our Granddaughter and although she’s only 1 1/2, she loved her dinosaur pancakes."

"Got the USA breakfast and it was absolutely unreal. I told the waitress I didn’t like eggs and they happily swapped it out for some bacon instead which I thought was very generous. Highly recommend this place - the decor inside was pink and girly."

"Ordered now back to back orders now on the uber eats app and both times mistakenly forgot a item, order 2x of the award winning pork sausages(2 pieces) is the amount for 1 serving however when opened order on 1x is there. Ignore initially due to friendly service and even time before was give a cake due to no cheese being available for one of the orders, unsure if booking at busy time and it’s a mistake. Overall a nice spot, still order again. Always have amazing food and have great time due to the staff being very accommodating in other visits to any food issue if asking to remove or make alterations due to intolerances. Maybe a little issue."

"Brb in a sugar coma! what a delight this was. I highly recommend the lotus biscoff pancakes! They were absolutely delectable. The Nutella milkshake was rich and super chocolatey - felt like I was drinking Nutella in liquid form!"

"Me and my sister came here for brunch and had a lovely time. Staff were prompt at getting us sat down and menus straight to us. The food as delicious and very well seasoned, I especially liked how you could choose how the eggs would be cooked. The only note would be the drinks were absolutely lovely however slightly on the pricey side."

"Lovely brunch at the beach. Sat outside. Another trip another lovely experience. 3rd trip! Had the USA breakfast. It's filling! The cakes always look so appetising, even at breakfast time"

"Despite there being a plethora of coffee shops in this day and age age, I find it difficult to find a shop that makes a good black americano without it looking like dishwater. This place makes a delicious black coffee that really hits the spot. Good selection of cakes and sweet treats (very big portions). Good clean and relaxing atmosphere."

"Lovely friendly, helpful staff. Canny menu - bit different to our 'normal' choices. However wanted something light so plumbed for sausage breakfast bun ( although other food choices looked delicious). It was delicious and enough for us. Cake choices ? Mams Carrot and Walnut cake was really nice - my Cherry Bakewell Blondie was so cold ( which when too cold I think always restricts good flavour of food) and sadly had no taste at all. I was disappointed . Great little pot of tea though."
