Welcome to Limes!

Since our inception in 1936 as a humble workman’s café in Green Lanes, we have embraced the spirit of community and togetherness.

In 2021, the Leonida family took the helm, breathing new life into Limes and transforming it into a welcoming café for everyone—workers, families, kids, and locals alike.

Three years later, we proudly acquired Paninis in Hadley Wood, another cherished café that had served the community for 20 years, and reimagined it as Limes Brasserie. Here, we offer delicious brunch six days a week and an unforgettable roast dinner on Sundays.

Over the years, we have served millions of breakfasts across our locations, and we are excited to continue this legacy for many more.

As a family-run business, our passion for food and community drives us to expand our reach, with plans to open new sites across the UK in the coming years.

Join us on this journey as we celebrate good food and great company!
