What an amazing breakfast, I asked for a specific order and it was no problem at all, in fact the chef delivered straight to my table. Excellent service!!! Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back again. Thank you

Me and my partner went here for breakfast this morning. Waitress was really friendly and professional. The full English was banging and my poached eggs were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be coming here before work again.

Been to most cafes overtime all nice.but this one has just got that extra, don’t mind waiting a little bit longer because it’s all freshly cooked and amazing and topped off with a young lady, Maria, so helpful and polite and of course the rest of the team. Thanks again.

Lovely little place! Very nice people and excellent service. Mistakenly brought a fried egg instead of scrambled (which was honestly no problem) but still insisted on bringing an extra plate of scrambled eggs. Amazing iced latte too: very creamy!

great cafe! I spoke to the owner and her partner in the business that said they are having a bar added and will be opening for dinner friday and saturday nights soon and will be doing a sunday roast. I am very excited to see what is coming for this cafe. I beleive they will be closed for a month and then re opening for a new improved menu. Cannot wait to try you out.

Very friendly restaurant staff. Didn’t get the order right but was able to turn the food around quickly. Offered drinks in the house which was a good gesture. Disappointed to see the “fluffy pancakes “ came out of a packet bought from the local grocery store. When we cancelled the pancakes they were offered as a complementary dessert.

Saw this place from the outside and looked quite welcoming which was a good start but it went downhill quite quickly after waiting about 10 minutes for the table to be cleaned and to actually be handed a menu to order. I ordered a cappuccino, a strawberry banana smoothie, a full English and a breakfast wrap. The drinks took over 25 minutes to arrive. After waiting about an hour I went up to the lady who I assume owns the cafe and I asked her if I could pay for our drinks so we could leave because we had waited for long enough and had lost our hunger. She said that the food was literally ready to come to us and would only take a minute…. I waited another 10 minutes before it arrived. We asked for the egg inside the wrap to be scrambled egg instead of fried and the waitress wrote it down on the ticket but best believe they didn’t even question it at all and still gave us the fried egg inside the wrap. I finished eating and went up to pay again and she did take the service charge off the bill but being in there for about an hour and half give or take I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Stopped by at 3pm for a missed lunch. We were welcomed warmly, nice menu choice. Coffee delicious, had the Chicken avocado Granary sandwich. was all cooked fresh, nice garnish with homemade pesto. My daughter had a cream cheese, smoked salmon bagel, a generous filling and light cream cheese. Thoroughly enjoyed, happy with price. Would love to go again.

They have a great menu for brunch with the usual classics as well some special Italian inspired options and a great starters / pasta menu!

4th time I've been here and it's my new favourite place. Massimo invites you to ask for any special requests. He is a great chef and all the people I've introduced to it have been blown away. Pastas of the day are superb. The breakfasts are gorgeous and my fave pasta is the spaghetti with chill and prawns Wishing you all the best guys xxx

A lovely little cafe on Leigh’s Broadway! The staff are so friendly and accommodating and the food is fresh and absolutely delicious - we could see it being cooked in front of us behind the main till! My boyfriend and I got burgers and chips as a little afternoon treat and it was seriously amazing. Both of them were perfectly seasoned and so mouth-watering and I’ve never had chips so addictive till I visited this place - seriously. Definitely do check this place out because you will not be disappointed! We were also impressed by the prices of this place - very low prices for our high quality burger meals. Also, another notable thing is the cafe is beautifully decorated, with marble tables and leaf hangings on the ceiling, which I also thought was a lovely touch to the welcoming atmosphere. :)

As soon as we walked in the cafe, we’ve been welcomed with the best smile by Massimo and his partner. They offered us a coffee and I was amazed by how good that coffee was. We then ordered two breakfast wraps that were accurately prepared and tasted fabulously! 10/10!! Food prices are also very fair! The place looks stunning - highly recommend! GRAZIE MASSIMO!

They are also getting a liquor licence and will be doing 3 course meals in the evening as of next week if I remember rightly. Enjoy and thank you xx

Such a cute cafe, and the food is AMAZING. Went in looking for a place that did a late full english breakfast, then saw their menu and decided we had to go for an italian lunch. The pictures on other reviews just looked too good to be true - but the food tastes even better than it looks!! We're still eating our starters while writing this review😭💖
