The Greenwood Tree

Stopped in over a busy lunchtime for a cuppa and a slice of the most delicious lemon drizzle cake. Service great, staff were all on the ball during the very busy period. Lots of dog owners obviously are welcome here and the staff pay particular attention to the canine guests…..
Couldn’t fault the place at all, so would thoroughly recommend…..

Polite and friendly staff gave us a warm welcome. Quickly served despite being busy. 2 coffees and a piece of lemon drizzle cake both superb. I forgot to ask for decaf so returned my cup. They very kindly didn't charge me for my mistake. Definitely recommended.

Whenever we are near or passing through Lyndhurst we always try to stop at the Greenwood Tree Cafe. Lovely cafe with great staff and the best selection of cakes. Catering for Dairy-free/Gluten-free/Vegan there is guaranteed to be something for most people's tastes. Also the cafe is dog friendly if that helps anyone.

Really impressed with this lovely cafe in the forest..Great menu with lots of vegan options as well as standard menu. I ordered from the specials board and could not have been happier with the taste explosion, that I find to be rare nowadays. Staff were welcoming and service was exceptional. I will definitely return

What an amazing find this was in the heart of Lyndhurst. Such lovely staff and we were so impressed with their vegan and vegetarian menus. We went to a pub the night before and they had hardly any menu choices in these categories.

The size of the cafe is deceiving from the outside but when you walk in it’s lovely and spacious, high ceilings and lots of table choice. We arrived at 9.15 on a Sunday morning and could tell straight away how popular it was due to how busy it was.

This is a must if you are in Lyndhurst, fabulous staff, great menu choices and delicious food.

Thank you very much for a lovely start to our day!

Friendly staff who were attentive from the moment we walked in. Lots more space than you would think from the outside. Lovely decor and high ceilings. Lots of large tables and seating for big groups/families.

Visited for breakfast with a friend. We liked the special separate vegan menu ! I ordered pancakes and they were gorgeous, tasty, thick American style yet light. Coffee was good and would definitely come again.

We paid separately which was not an issue (a lot of the time in places you get a shrug from staff as is more effort) but not here :) and I even got a stamp card on the exit to work towards a free drink whilst meeting the owner!

What a perfect start to my Sunday. Great place and I left with a smile

Lovely little place with delicious food. We visited a day before pancake day, and my son tried their tasty options. He absolutely loved it. My husband and I have tried the full breakfast (vegan option), and we both loved it.

Great vegan menu. We had 2 breakfasts, one with sausages and one with the corn fritters, which they split between our plates. Very tasty. The chai latte and Earl Grey were good too. Very friendly staff and a tasteful decor and ambience.
Highly recommended⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I got a free drink because I'm a Greenwood! 🤩 lovely café and the manager was really nice. Great name! The cakes looked really good. Nice to see vegan options in a Hampshire café.

We are travellers from Australia and found this gorgeous cosy cafe in the heart of Lyndhurst. We were drawn to the old architecture of the building but once inside you’re spoilt for choice with so many beautiful treats. From carrot cake to gingerbread cookies, dirty chai lattes to spinach, mango and pineapple smoothies. Today they even had a malteser madness milkshake! There is an entire menu for GF customers, vegan customers and everything customers. We tried to vegan scrambled eggs and they were to die for. A great atmosphere all round if you’re looking for an authentic english breakfast. The staff are wonderful and we cannot fault the food. Couldn’t recommend this cafe enough 💚

One of the best cafes I’ve been to in a while. Lovely staff & had the tastiest tuna panini I’ve ever had. The menu had a lot to choose from so we will definitely be returning soon 👏🏻👏🏻

What a nice find. Never been in as always busy. Now know why. Took a chance and went in for breakfast. Glad we did. Nice extra options, sweetcorn fritter, rude not to and a blast from my childhood. Nice flavour on sausage and thick bacon. Makes all the difference. Nice coffee. Also check out there cakes selection. Will hit that on next trip. Extra seating around the back, so go in and check they have space.

We LOVE this place. Staff are so friendly, amazing vegan options (we love the scones and vegan breakfast). We came every day of our 3 day new forest break. A must visit in our opinion!

On a weekend visit to Lyndhurst we visited this cafe twice. We are both vegan. First visit we had the flatbread that was really tasty and well thought out. Second visit we had the 'egg' and avocado croissant and a 'sausage' sandwich. Both were very tasty. The egg specifically was great so much so another portion was ordered. We followed this with a cream tea and the flotted cream is absolutely delicious. So much like real cream you wouldn't know any difference. Service is fast and efficient and the staff are very friendly and chatty. We will definitely be visiting Lyndhurst again for some more lovely cycling and will be sure to come back here.

This café is charming and is family owned and run. Solid wooden floors and rustic decor it sits perfectly on the high street of Lyndhurst. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious 😋. There is a good choice of food with both vegan and gluten free options too the meat eaters amongst us. A daily specials board. All days breakfast is available both meat and vegetarian 😁. Beautiful cakes and scones in a wide variety. Cream teas or just a cuppa. All are welcome especially families and including your four legged friends 🐾. Absolutely brilliant. The owners are Mother and Daughter and you could either be served or have your food cooked by these very lovely people. The daughter has spent time creating a vegan clotted cream alternative and it's very nice too. Thank you The GWT see you again soon.

Vegan cream tea… heard good things about this place from other vegans as they do vegan scones with ‘flotted cream’ - well our scones were absolutely delicious, honestly the best vegan ones I’ve tasted so far! As for the ‘flotted cream’, it tasted just how I remember clotted cream tastes - spot on! Lovely cafe with very friendly staff - reasonably priced as well. Will definitely be back and will recommend :)

Loads of vegan options - we had the vegan breakfast, vegan cheese and red onion panini and the vegan pancakes, and they were all amazing! Wanted to try more but couldn’t fit it all in… Highly recommended.

Dog friendly and vegan options…perfect.

We’ve visited Greenwood a couple of times now and both have been great. Plenty of great vegan options inc. scones with Flotted Cream.

Staff are friendly, accommodating and it’s just a lovely establishment. Well worth a visit and we’ll be sure to be back soon.

Lovely vegan cream tea with ‘flotted’ cream (lentil-based) with a full vegan and gluten free menu

A shop that cares for your comfort amd your safety (hand sanatiser station at the front of the door).

The BBQ Jackfruit Burger and the Vegan Dirty Fries are a solid selection of vegan food options! Well worth the price.

Would come again if I am in the locality.

Tap water and sauses are available on request.
