Albert Street Cafe in Barnsley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great if you like weird music, old Goth music is not for me but if you like that sort of thing. The staff are friendly except for the cook. The breakfast to be fair was good but the toast was anaemic. When I mentioned this to the chef I mean cook I got the feeling I had just taken away his chefs Michelin Stars, you know when someone is watching you, Awkward. Anyway the rest was amazing except for the tea, straight from a witches bladder (that Goth trend again) it was weak to say the least, clearly he must share 1 tea bag for multiple cups. I will go back again maybe Halloween when the ambience is better suited.

The worst breakfast we’ve ever had . Wouldn’t even take the bacon or sausage home for the dog . If you don’t want a very poor quality and cold breakfast don’t visit here .

Originally was going to Tilly's (shut Thursdays) so decided to sample the food on offer here. Value pretty good but standard I would say average. Don't expect 5*food at local cafes but the mince was wishy washy. Price of drinks more reasonable than most.

We used to come here often, but unfortunately today will be our last visit. My partners order was incorrect, he politely let a member of staff know, at which point the cook starts kicking off yelling that the order was right and then proceeds to stand behind us loudly badmouthing us, swearing, and he deliberately made us feel uncomfortable while we were eating. Eventually I'd had enough and left without finishing my meal or drink because I felt so uncomfortable with the dirty looks.

My son is a perfectionist for his breakfast of scrambled egg, must not be dry, mushrooms and baked beans; toast of course to mop up bean juice! He was mega happy, as I was with a well filled bacon sani one day and excellent toast on another.

Not been shopping to Barnsley for over a decade and got lost in the morass of redevelopment. I had an hour to kill and went for a walk round and found myself outside the Albert Street cafe. Called in and was really pleasantly surprised - if you want NO FRILLS food and drink -this is the place for you. They have a wide range of food on the menu, but don't expect l'escargot - this is great food for Yorkshire Tykes at great prices. The Cafe is light, airy and fully compliant with Covid restrictions. The staff are quick, efficient and cheery. I really couldn't fault it - I will be shopping in Barnsley again as a result of this fortuitous call.

Whilst I like, eg, Betty's in Harrogate and also the new Yorkshire Sculpture Park restaurant, the Albert Street Cafe is cheap, cheerful and clean - meaning inexpensive, very friendly and very clean (not least during this coronavirus period). The food is simple and very tasty.

Great tasting food and unreal value. Very old fashioned in how things are done, but simple, effective, fills you up, and something that the South doesn’t have anymore. A community feeling coming from the staff and customers. I had a meat pie with chips, gravy and mushy peas for £4.70. Tasty and filling. Mug of tea also . Very popular cafe and I can see why. Wish there were places like this where I come from. Well done, great service, hard working and friendly staff

The Food in here is too quickly done, the seats are a disgrace, the carpet looks like it has been there since the 1800s (and not hooverd since either) The Toilet also is a bit near the Kitchen for my liking. It is a wonder it has'nt been closed down by Publicc Health and how I don't know Though the food is nice i am always dubious of very quick food - as if it is already in place in a Microwave or Cooker and is ready to go in at the drop of an hat or or is on a stove type thing that keep plates warm. I can not complain over the Food, but i think 90% or 95% would agree likewise on this one that food can sometimes be just "too quickly cooked"!

This is a brilliant cafe. Lovely food and really reasonably priced. It isn't posh but it is clean and spacious and the tables are continually being wiped down. The staff are very attentive and friendly. We are not local to Barnsley but on the odd occasion when we visit we always call in for food. Two jacket potatoes with fillings and two teas cost £8 something. On reading the menu signs on the walls I noticed amongst others a pensioner meal stating a choice of between two meals at £4.99 with tea or coffee free and also apple pie and custard free. What more can you ask for ?

what a wonderful place. We were recommended this place when a friend and I visited. We couldn't have visited a nicer place. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, so were the owners. The meals and variety were superb with plates full of yummy food. Even free apple pie and custard with one meal. The place was packed, and no wonder. The place was very clean, all the tables were cleaned as someone left. The prices were very reasonable. My mug of tea was quality te not cheap. We left knowing we were very welcome, and as the owner said, It was a pleasure to have us. My friend and I felt we had met new genuine friends. We left with our bellies full, and a smile on our faces. If only all cafes were like this. Not far from the bus station. Easy to find. just ask someone, Barnsley people are very friendly. Excellent. Highly recommended.

Great food, came here on a Saturday afternoon, ordered pie chips mushy peas and gravy and my other half had a full monty breakfast. Service was excellent very polite and the food came fairly quickly. The price is very reasonable also. Overall a very satisfactory visit.👍

I love this place, nothing fancy and good value for money, large breakfast is fab . Always busy , staff very friendly . Always visit when im in Barnsley

Today I went in to this place while it was very very quiet, the staff were all pottering around obviously not very busy. I had my own 500ml bottle which, because it was a hot day, my children and I had drank it's contents. I asked the first staff member I saw, politely, if she would fill up the bottle. She took it and filled it with tap water as requested, I thanked her then my children and I drank it all straight away. I, again, asked if she would mind refilling my bottle with tap water. This time she snatched the bottle from my hand and walked away saying "I don't believe this!", when she passed the bottle back to me she said, in a nasty tone, "that's it now, no more." I replied with "ok, you don't have to be so nasty about it, if it's too much trouble you should have said no." As I was walking away I could hear a few people laughing and then I heard the lady who had "helped" me say loudly "next time she comes in it'll be no". I turned around and said "It's ok, I won't visit again" she replied with "good because you are barred!

Went for a quick breakfast and it we definitely regretted it ordered a bacon and sausage sandwich and a brunch and also a latter the bacon was rubbery and overcooked asif it had been in the microwave and the latte was like a luke warm cup of milk it had never seen a latte all tho when been called out the lady shouted milky coffee but does state on the menu as a latte if I had of known I would of just got a can of pop it was safe to say we left hungry n the 'latte' was left untouched

Went yesterday 10 of us and had a breakfast cooked by MARTIN & it was superb they are all so friendly and it's packed with regulars. The owners Rita & Keith can't do enough for you & Roy is great. Also the prices are so...

Food is great, friendly service and food is served fairly quick even when it's busy. Go here for my lunch regularly.

when shopping in Barnsley this is the best cafe to eat, coffee and a great place to meet , the staff are all so friendly and the food is great , the Yorkshire pudding with the home made chilli is fab xx

Went in with friends a couple of months ago, only just came across this app that's why I'm writing my review now. The food was served quickly but it had grease all over it.

I have been going to alberts st cafe for many years now. I find that the all day breakfast is my fav from all the other cafe in barnsley. You wont find fancy food in there just honest well cooked food and good cheap prices....

I've visited this cafe and on every occasion I have found that the meals are either over cooked and burnt or swimming in fat

Nice food, friendly atmosphere, in middle of town/shops, convenient to stop off for lunch mid-shopping. Basic decor but clean. Gorgeous lasagne and homemade chips at an affordable price. Will visit again.

The place is scruffy and despite the food being served quickly it has clearly being sitting around all day waiting for an order. I am suprised this place is even open as it is unhygienic and the furniture is white plastic chairs. Would not recommend.

What a great down to earth this cafe is. My wife and I were down from Scotland visiting friends and we made the cafe our meeting place. The prices were very good and the food was fresh to eat. A lot of good quality dinners...

It's a classics greasy spoon , the food isn't fancy but there is plenty of it and they do specials for pensioners etc so it's usually busy The older gentleman that works there is a lovely chap always a smile and a treat for the...

We pass the Albert Street Café every time we are in Town and we are always amazed at their Prices displayed on the windows. This is a typical Yorkshire value for money eatery with an array of Breakfast combinations plus many more snacks Hot and...
