Cafe Cru in South Derbyshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very overpriced for what it is, ordered a panini with bacon and cheese was £6.90 with two bits of bacon in it, wasn’t the best and my panini was heated up in the microwave will not be coming back very disappointing.

Was a bit disapointed to be honest, we went instead of our usual place when we have breakfast out because they do "eggs benedict". We should've have asked for the bacon to be well done that is on us but the hollandaise sauce (which is stated on the menu which is the norm with eggs benedict) was actually mayonaise with possibly a bit of salad cream mixed in or something to try and give it a tang I dont know but it definetly wasn't hollandaise sauce not only was the taste a give away but it was cold, luckily it was served in a small ramekin and not poured (spread more like with that stuff) over our, just cooked bacon decent poached egg and one side toasted bun I know it is difficult to make hollandaise from scratch but you can buy sachets that you just add milk to or even pouches that can just be warmed up. Im sure their other food is fine but I dont recomend having eggs benedict from here.

Delivery driver is always super polite and friendly. Really nice chap. The food is delicious and the drinks (especially the milkshakes) are so, so yummy. Best breakfast in Swad. Definitely recommended! Thank you. :)

Met friends for coffee, nice waitress good choice and reasonable price

Perfect as always! Thanks so much. :)

I never treat myself to breakfast glad I did food was lovely I like my eggs a little more funnier but that's my only critique

By far the best breakfast delivery we have had for some time

Excellent service as per usual! Cafe cru are the best 😃

Excellent Brilliant 👏 didn't realise the cafe Cru existed, but now I I know I will definitely be back

Lovely little cafe with delicious coffee. Very pleased to have oat milk available as I can’t have dairy. Not fast food( v busy) but wityh the wait.

Visited for breakfast, after usual eatery closed. Staff friendly and attentive large breakfast was extreamly good and all items freshly cooked. Nice pot of tea with proper milk.

Breakfasts are top-notch and milkshakes to die fore

Was staying in a b&b close by but one morning they weren't doing breakfast so we popped in here as we'd spotted it whilst we were on a walk the night before. We both had a full English breakfast, I had a coffee and he had a pot of tea. £20 in total which I find very reasonable. The food was excellent and the staff were very nice and polite. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Yummy food. Drivers are always friendly. Favourite place to grab lunch from in town.

Highly recommended, will return for more.

Good quality well cooked hot food delivered by a very pleasant driver. Fully recommended.

Fabulous as always thank you 😊

Wonderful little cafe in church gresley x beautiful food and really pleasant staff. Will definitely be returning x

My jacket pot was still hard inside 😞 but rest of food was ok

Outstanding service and tasty food as usual, a small mistake with the order but they have gone above and beyond to put it right

Stopped for breakfast and the eggs benedict was stunning 5⭐️ I will be back 👍👍👍

Food was hot, tasty and prepared exactly as I ordered it. Polite delivery driver too. Cafe Cru is the best option going in Swad for food in the morning/lunch time. Definitely recommended. Thanks guys!

Delicious breakfast as always, great service.

The cafe supplied a lunch buffet for 130 people last weekend - very helpful, good price and great homemade cakes! I'll definitely use them again. They do a decent bacon sandwich as well.

Great cafe, lovely staff and food excellent. Would definately recommend

The kids and I popped in for a Sunday morning treat. The full English was hot, tasty and plenty of it. Two lads enjoyed breakfast sandwiches on soft white bread and the eldest enjoyed a large and tasty looking omelette. It was very relaxing and reasonably priced. Support your local cafe. I highly recommend it.

Food was beautiful and still hot when it was delivered, driver very friendly.

Delicious cooked breakfast and the freakshakes went down well with the kids

Been going here twice a week for many years . Very nice food and very good service with a smile . Don’t bother going anywhere else .

Jacket potato was very tasty and the milkshake was nice. Delivery driver very cheerful, will definitely be ordering from here again

The breakfast was under cooked

Food was lovely, good portions, the coleslaw was lovely. Will order again.

After trying many local places for food we have not found a place that does better breakfasts than Cafe Cru. We now order a weekly office breakfast which seems to be the highlight of the week. The food is amazing everytime and the service is excellent. The staff are always polite and helpful, I would highly recommend.

Stopped by on my wife's bday for a breakfast. Ordered 2 x breakfasts and 2 x coffees . Coffees were amazing Food was terrible,sausages,bacon and eggs all undercooked and cold (inedible) Waited for other customers to be out of earshot then spoke to the waitress. The waitress agreed and tried to sort the issue out. The waitress then came back to me after speaking to the manager who said there was nothing wrong with the food and her boyfriend would be along shortly to have a word. Eventually after refusing to pay for 2 x inedible breakfasts , the waitress refunded me. The manager came out to authorize this and said nothing to me . Compliments to the waitress she was extremely understanding. However dealt with poorly by management. I have visited here previously and it was good so no idea what has happened. Extremely disappointed is an understatement.

Great value, lovely meal and polite delivery driver

First time ordering! Loved the food and the mint hot chocolate 😍

food is always really tasty, delivery was very fast, staff members are lovely. everything is always brilliant!!

Lovely coffee, one of the nicest cups of coffee I’ve had in a very long time

Exerlent food and quality. Would recommend to hearty eaters

Well, was so impressed, i exoected a little quiet street cafe. Cafe Cru was so much more, impecable cleanliness, fabulous food and staff that are so curteous and go above and beyond. Cant praise it enough, and will 100% recommend.

Really pleased they were able to swap a few things for my dietary requirements

Great service and food as usual, friendly staff. We highly recommend Cafe Cru 😊

Amazing food definitely be ordering again

Great place for food! Highly recommended 😃

Fantastic food, great service and atmosphere. A cracking cafe

First time ordering the food was lovely, we really enjoyed our milkshakes! Will definitely be ordering again

Great customer service and always receive a lovely breakfast from this place.

Undercooked sausage bacon horrible would not recommend

Just popped in after the junior park run. Delicious drinks and cakes!

Food as described, very tasty and delivered on time.

Great food and value for money!arrived hot & on time!

First time using Cafe Cru will definitely be going again

Ok where do I start. I have travelled the world, and I can honestly tell you now, hands down the best Eggs Benedict I have ever had. I asked for super runny yokes and they delivered. Perfect!!!! To the Staff at Cafe Cru, you have me as a Customer forever now. So no take backs! 😊 I feel totally podged but totally worth it!

Really happy that we have a local cafe delivering breakfasts now. Food was top notch and love the options available. Will be coming back for more.

Ordered from here twice now, not disappointed. This time we ordered two Puppacinos for our two dogs, they came in the cutest mini takeout cups and were topped with a little dog treat...seriously they have out some Starbucks! Will definitely use Cafe Cru again.

Lovely range of sandwiches, toasties, baked potatoes, breakfast items and similar. Friendly service.

Brilliant food! Will be ordering again

I visited a Friday lunchtime on a school day. It took me 15 minutes just to get served my drinks which was frustrating considering it wasn’t that busy however I let it slide. But then I ended up waiting a further 30 minutes for my food (total 45 minutes). So I went down to go and check on my order. It seems they were swamped with online orders via Uber eats/just eat and seemed to be prioritising these orders. The staff were friendly and apologetic but I will be unlikely to be coming back anytime soon.

Nice quality breakfast! I thoroughly enjoyed my eggs Benedict and my partner enjoyed his full English breakfast only thing I would say if you don’t like mushrooms maybe request them taken off as we thought we wouldn’t mind picking them out but both our breakfast items came with a lot of mushrooms so we felt we had wasted their product.

Ordered 2 bacon and egg sandwiches and a large luxury hot chocolate at the cost of over £11. Expensive but worth it if it tastes great. Hot chocolate tasted amazing but definitely was not a large size. I asked for crispy bacon and the fat hadn't been cooked through properly and was still clear. I'd advise you to change the ketchup to a better brand as this completely ruined an already bad sandwich. For the price paid I would expect a better standard of food than this. Do not recommend.

Ordered a finger buffet for 35 covers, with a mixture of meat, vegetarian and vegan. They supplied sandwiches, quiche, spring rolls and delicious cupcakes. It was all very tasty, delivered prompltly, well presented and labelled. We were very pleased with quality and quantity of the food. Well done to all the staff at Cafe Cru.

Excellent breakfast at reasonable price. Venue clean and pleasant with plenty of space and friendly helpful staff.

Delicious fresh cooked food. Lovely and clean. Friendly staff.

Great food good prices and polite staff that make u feel welcomed.the service was fast and sufficient. I would definitely recommend

I had a large all day breakfast and everything was so tasty and cooked to perfection. The workers were very polite and helpful and the service was fast.

Great food and pleasant and friendly staff.

Very nice only 10 mins wait for takeaway very nice sandwiches

Quite good, very happy with the big breakfast. Would prefer to not have tinned stewed tomatoes (I think that's what they were) so will ask to swap them out next time but good service and coffee!

Food good service very slow & staff unfriendly

Ordered a tuna salad sandwich while having my hair done, the sandwich arrived over and hour and a half later. No prior warning to this. When it arrived - Nothing but tuna in a bun, no butter, no salad in my bap, how disappointing. A little bit of salad on the side a 4 crisps and for over £5. Horrified! I will not be returning again and would not recommend to anyone.

3 of us came here for breakfast and it was excellent, one veggie breakfast and two small breakfast with tea n coffee! Fabulous value for money and a nice clean establishment.

Great welcome great hosts and excellent food very clean and warm on a chilly morning Cooked to perfection

Fantastic Full English breakfast, all freshly cooked, lovely seating area upstairs, clean with polite staff. Save your money on supermarket cafe breakfast or pub breakfast. Cafe Cru is a proper establishment with everything cooked to perfection and piping hot. No skimping with cheap quality or quantity either, we all thoroughly enjoyed our food and beverage and will definitely visit again.

Nice local cafe, good food at a fair price

Took my mum for an afternoon tea at CafeCru…..lovely welcoming staff and beautiful baby girl Ivy Grace. We went upstairs to await the most scrumptious afternoon tea, generously filled tuna sandwiches and cheese and onion on lovely soft bread made immediately before eating, they were arranged with lots of salady bits and delicious home made coleslaw. Then we had a very cheesy scone and a jam and clotted cream scone which we shared so we could taste both then two scummy cakes and a large pot of tea. The cafe was freshly painted and scrupulously clean. Thoroughly recommend it and will go back again

This is a little Gem amazing Coffee delicious Cakes and Fudge....Breakfast is yummy also, well worth a visit .

Lovely vegan breakfast at a really reasonable price 😊

Breakfast this morning was perfectly cooked & served. All very reasonably priced. Cafe was spotlessly clean. First visit but will definitely visit again !

Amazing milkshakes, would definitely visit again!

Good food, slow service, but worth it

Thank you for a beautiful gluten free breakfast, such lovely service my breakfast was amazing.nothing was too much trouble such amazing staff .my granddaughter loved her aero mint shake too xx

Great staff with very nice food and still the amazing milkshakes from before :)

The milshakes were amazing, especially the lotus biscoff The salad had such a good range of items within it and the sandwiches were also great, such good portions for the price!!

Had takeaway breakfast cobs for grandsons birthday . Fresh hot food , friendly service and all covid precautions in place

Fantastic place, great people and the food was awesome. Unfortunately didn't manage to finish the breakfast challenge.

Superb food. Highly recommended.

Lovely meals and fair prices,staff are very helpful too

We visited Cafe Cru as it’s local and we can walk to it and following a bad experience elsewhere wanted to go for a proper breakfast. This place is popular for a very good reason so I would advise booking especially on a Saturday Morning, which we did. Premises is spotless and we felt totally safe in the current situation with Covid. As soon as people left a member of staff wiped down absolutely everything. Big tick for us. Staff - well presented, courteous and pleasant, service was quick too for saying they were pretty busy. Food; we had breakfast, it was fantastic, we could tell they use high quality produce; no burnt bits on the food, mushrooms cooked perfectly and not at all greasy all at a very reasonable price too! In summary; if you want good food, great service in a Clean Covid safe premises this is the place to come. Will we return - try stopping us!

We went to visit Cafe Cru whilst waiting for our car to be MOT'd at a nearby garage. We had a lovely breakfast, which was nicely presented and well cooked. It was very good value for money as the portions were big. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and well presented. We'll definitely return and if you are in the area go and have a visit, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Thank you Cafe Cru.

Another excellent breakfast . Can't fault the service, value and quality. And not forgetting the lovely staff . Will definitely be back .

A faultless breakfast , great tasting milkshakes with lots to choose from , good service too. Would highly recommend
