About Bowery Lane

Food at Bowery Lane

Breakfast and lunch follow a seasonal menu built on locally sourced produce, with vegetarian dishes. One 2022 reviewer picked the truffle chips and Korean fried chicken as the highlights of a visit, and a recent reviewer found the sourdough slices generous. The menu is a mix of sit-down dishes and a market-style deli counter.

Coffee and drinks

One 2022 reviewer found the coffee delicious and a good match for a weekday lunch or breakfast stop. The roaster is not named on the website or in reviews, so the beans are unknown.

Events and catering at Bowery Lane

The venue also takes catered events, from cocktail parties and conferences to product launches and gala dinners. Event enquiries go to a separate events address, so a group dinner or evening function is best arranged in advance.
