I love this local breakfast and lunch place. It's not fancy but essential and the staff is attentive and courteous. they have a large menu of grilled and fried dishes. I always go for one of the many breakfast options. You can find English breakfast with all sorts of variations including vegetarian. They have a breakfast option with avocado and a Turkish one.

Stopped here a few times to grab something to go and the food is always hot and tasty and I recently stopped drinking normal milk and I like that they have alternatives especially oat milk. I came today as I was early for an appointment and decided to sit and eat in the cafe. I chose something simple, 2 eggs on toast and a side portion of mushrooms and I must say it was delicious and I didn't have to wait long for it. I also had an oat milk coffee which was lovely too. The staff are always smiling and very pleasant and I for one shall be going back again hopefully soon. I definitely recommend people give this place a try!

Working on a project just down the road for 2 months, first time in this cafe, outstanding taste, everything’s cooked properly, not under done, not over cooked, just perfect, the chef is stupidly fast, which is great I don’t have to wait around! I went toilet when I ordered, came back, and the food was on the table.. piping hot!! Shame I won’t be around anymore in this area as I will miss my morning breakfast here!.. great price, friendly, always a New sun newspaper at the ready for customers, would recommend this cafe 10000%!

Great restaurant to grab a quite bite to eat for breakfast! I had the bacon and cheese panini and a coffee and my friend had the Turkish breakfast. As far as value goes, you're much better off getting the breakfast, as there's much more food for almost the same price. I paid 5.5 + 2 for the coffee and he paid 9 for a massive breakfast that included coffee. The atmosphere was interesting, lots of surly gents in for their morning coffee.
