Cafe Sobar in Nottingham

Excellent , freshly prepared food. Staff absolutely charming, great customer service. The special cheese omelette was one of the best we’d tasted

Friendly welcome, quick service, great food.

Wonderful alcohol free café with a wide range of drinks and food, The staff was very polite and friendly . I was surprise how fast the wife speed was , I mange to do some of my office work while I was there

Went for breakfast around 11am, there was plenty of seating available and the menu is straightforward. 🥚 Had one of the specials, cheese omelette, and it came with some crispy onions - a nice touch! The egg/cheese ratio was great. 🥑 Had the avocado smoothie as well, very nicely balanced and real smoothie consistency (no ice crystals or too thin from the apple juice it's blended with) Nice music playlist, a great spot to chat, work, or relax. And you fund a charity! 😊

Price is very high .I got a dirty teaspoon .food wasn't the best

Came with Myself, Mum & Sister and it has made a wonderful start to our day. Everything was lovely and the staff were exceptional and friendly. It's always lovely when I know my Mums had a nice time. Thank you

Very welcoming staff and environment! Peaceful and pleasant to have a coffee or a bite to eat here during a break in the cozy shopping districts. Reasonable prices.

A great venue with a great purpose. Glad it exists in the heart of Nottingham.

This visit was for breakfast for a group of 9 adults and we were kindly fitted in at short notice. Cafe was very clean and had a really nice atmosphere. The breakfast food and drinks came very quickly, were delicious and reasonable priced. Remember to look at the specials board as these enhance the menu choices. Staff were extremely helpful and efficient and we will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Great café! Really good breakfast, and staff made us feel so welcome 🤗 Really recommend!

Had a pretty good veggie breakfast here, not keen on the tinned tomatoes however. Everything else very good. Proper veggie sausage, not fake meat!

Fantastic breakfasts, great service and good value. Will be my first stop for breakfast next time I visit Nottingham.

I'd heard about this place years ago at Addaction in Grantham, I don't often travel to Nottingham but I'm glad I gave this place a try. The food was great, the staff were friendly and helpful and the place looks good, both decor and cleanliness. I'll be travelling to Nottingham more for appointments and Café Sobar will always be my first stop.

Fantastic service, amazing coffees and smiley faces all round!

Great values and great friendly staff and service. Well done to everyone involved. Dog friendly so great.

Stumbled across So Bar looking for a Sunday morning breakfast after a day at Trent Bridge. Looked good with a good menu but the food and staff were a level above. Absolutely fantastic, the food was exceptional and the service, quick, friendly and fun. 100% recommend it. It was only at we sat there we realised it is a charity providing opportunities and support for people overcoming addiction. That just made it better. Well worth the trip!

Excellent Staff, Excellent food. Really great spot for breakfast!

The best brekkie I’ve had in a long long time. Top tier service and atmosphere too, will be back!

Just stepped off the bus outside this wonderful cafe in Nottingham. Fab menu to suit all our group, with comfy seats lovely decor and friendly welcoming staff. We went back a second time for coffee this morning and will visit again in the future. Thanx 😊

Brilliant vegan options, great coffee and the staff are extremely nice. Nice to experience a good quality cafe that's also ethical and serves the community

Had the big breakfast, gorgeous food, quality ingredients and the service was great, if i am ever in Nottingham again, i will definitely be returning, highly recommend

Great for vegans, my favourite is the muffin stack! Tasty food, decent prices, service is always excellent, atmosphere bustling but not loud. I come here about once a month to work, there's a bench along the side wall where I can settle in for a morning without taking up tables and there's plenty to fuel me - coffee, cakes, milkshakes, breakfast, lunch and loads of vegan options. They have comfy booths too if you're in a group.

Great service, great food, will be coming back if I'm back in Nottingham!

Breakfast is possibly the best in Nottingham, The staff are very welcoming and the food is not you average nasty yellow sausage and hard bacon. It can be hard to get a sit so always best to pre book for a space.

Best bacon and egg sandwich I’ve ever had, cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Decided I will not be visiting Nottingham on a Monday or Tuesday ever again, if I can’t eat here I’m not coming 🤣💕

Great staff and well presented fresh food. I had the cheese omelette with chips, was lovely

Food and service were top notch!

Lovely café, lovely staff, excellent service, nice food and drink options, great music and atmosphere 😊 It can be a bit pricey but it's so worth it - the quality of food and drinks, 10% student discount and other special deals. It's going to a wonderful charity and I can't wait to come back soon! Thank you everyone! 😊

Gorgeously light cake and delicious coffee. A great little cafe that helps get recovering addicts back on the right track. I will be visiting again.

I visited here spontaneously today. I hadn’t intended to visit but found myself hungry before visiting the Playhouse. I’m so glad I did! Super efficient waiting staff - and a very friendly welcome at the till when ordering. Food served within a very reasonable time. My falafel wrap with a ‘soupaccino’ was delicious and the coffe was hot and damned good! Served with a smile, too. Lovely atmosphere with great tunes being played (not too loudly!). I’ll definitely revisit next time I’m in town.

Thought I would try breakfasts advertised opening at 0830. Arrived and clearly not open - open times on door stated 1000 for Wednesday- went elsewhere

Popped in for lunch and were served nice food by nice people, good coffee as well, recomended

The staff here have one of the best hospitalities in Nottingham. The vibe is very cozy I always come back for that.

Slow. So slow. Ended up turning around and walking out after being stood around for 15 mins

Great service, great food at a great price. Love the decor, music and ethos. Both had a full English, quality ingredients cooked perfectly

Great food, good quality, love a good bacons for my full English breakfast. Only slightly smaller than I expected, better off getting big breakfast for £2 extra. Great room and plenty of spaces at 11am. Happy couple!

Really refreshing to have a buzzing sober place to go and enjoy amazing food. Brilliant atmosphere and super friendly staff

Been meaning to come here for ages for personal reasons mainly. Anyway we popped in after I ran the Nottingham 10K and I ate what was probably the best Full English I have had in ages. Probably the best in the City Centre. The service was friendly and welcoming, the pricing wasn't too bad and place was light and colourful. The full english hit the spot. If I was going to be super picky, I would say it needed more mushrooms but hey! Absolutely fantastic!

Food was really nice & the people were lovely, would definitely come back!

Lovely breakfast. Not complicated, not fussy, just good ingredients well cooked! Fab coffee too. Great service & good background music (I hate it when the music doesn’t suit the venue - it was bang on here)

Really nice atmosphere and food. They have student discount.

Just a bit expensive. Great though

Lovely café supporting a great cause. Great food with plenty of vegetarian options. Staff really friendly and fast service even on a Saturday afternoon. Was very happy to find this place would recommend 👌

We was greeted by a warm and friendly welcome from the nice lady that took are order and showed us to our table.The food and service was excellent, highly recommended.

We love coming in for a late breakfast, great staff and friendly service.

this place is fabulous, airey,light, spacious, staff are so friendly and great to converse with, beautiful confectionary and cakes. Artist has an art exhibition on display inside worth checking out. This cafe is doing great things to rehabilitate folks who havent had the best of lives so far - well done in all you do, we'll be back.

Very nice cafe with good food and drinks. I liked it.

Me and my partner went cafe sobar on Saturday came up from Birmingham grand service , good customer service

Stumbled across this place whilst shopping with my mum and was over the moon to find an amazing sober space!! Super warm and friendly, the food was amazing and presented beautifully. We both had hot chocolate which was delicious. It’s so important to have sober venues for people in recovery. Well done!

Very nice dog friendly cozy cafe! The service was top notched and lots of seatings inside and great atmosphere! A variety of nibbles including vegan options! They even have a QR code scan ordering (with online payment) at the seating so you don’t even need to go and order at the counter if you don’t wanna! Will definitely go back again!

We had a wonderful breakfast this morning. We had to wait a few minutes for a table as it was super busy. Menu great! They had the two things I wanted. Chai Latte and Vegan breakfast. My husband ordered a full English. You order at the Till and while I waited I eyed the wide variety of homemade cakes. They looked incredible so I added a couple of Bakewell slices to my order to take away! Our table was cleaned and our hot drinks arrived quickly. Breakfast took a little while to arrive. We weren’t in a hurry so we sat back and enjoyed the busy atmosphere. It’s a really light and airy big space and tables well spread out so very comfortable. Our breakfasts arrived on large white plates. We were both very happy with our food. Hot and well cooked. The vegan breakfast included spinach and mushrooms. Seriously good! I was saying to my husband this is a good 9/10 breakfast and I’m going to give them a review. We then spoke to the waitress who explained the ethos of the cafe. She had been homeless and an alcoholic. The cafe gave her and every single person in the cafe training and employment. The service was faultless. Everything is clean and comfortable, staff friendly and efficient, and made us really happy.

Excellent white hot chocolate. Food brought out to other tables looked good. Will be going back to enjoy a meal here.

Delicious breakfast, lovely welcoming atmosphere, pleasant staff and great value.

Lovely staff, fast service & tasty breakfast.

Didnt know this was supporting a charity, tasty food doing good in the community.

we had breakfast, previous time much better. staff polite,place and toilets clean. .we try again soon.

This is amazing place to get something to eat. The atmosphere is great, gets very packed so you have to go early to get a table. Lovely food and the service is great. Would recommend

Beautiful cafe and wonderful food! Cannot wait to go back again and try some different things and introduce my friends to it. Honestly so so lovely, couldn't recommend more!

What a great place to start the day, breakfast was amazing and a wide choice too. Service was great and all the staff very friendly too, food didn't take long to come out and the place was busy with quite a quick turn around. First time visit and will definitely be going back.

A nice cozy cafe to enjoy a delicious cup of cappuccino and a warm breakfast where everyone is so welcoming. Will definitely visit again.

I stumbled on this gem by accident. Very cozy atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. As a muslim, I enjoyed the alcohol free concept. Many vegetarian and vegan options. I had the vegetarian English breakfast which was delicious. The coffee was amazing.

A great place in a great location. The food was lovely & the staff were friendly and attentive. We only found out at the end that it is also a very worthy cause.

Great atmosphere, excellent service on a busy Christmas Market day. Can't drink alcohol, really appreciated having a wide range of alcohol free options. Such a nice surprise. Moscow Mule and a vegetarian full English, delicious.

Coffee was good. Food quality was excellent but a bit of a wait for the English breakfast.

Popped in for breakfast. Lovely warm welcome. Food was wonderful & super delicious.

Best hot chocolate I've had in my life! Quality and quantity

Fantastic breakfast location. Very nice service - highly recommended!

Lovely cafe with a great range of very tasty food. Welcoming and attentive staff. Quick service and good prices. The venue is very attractive and comfortable. Can't fault it.

Popped in for a bite for lunch and opted for the Mexican tomato soup....it was delicious! Staff so helpful and friendly too. Definitely will go again and recommend to friends

Fabulous cafe. The service was very bright and breezy. The team working there were lovely. Food was brought out really quickly. Breakfast was delicious. Hot choc and milkshakes great too. Would highly recommend. We will go again.

Stayed in Nottingham for a night for a friends party and went out for breakfast in the morning. The food was great (brilliant for vegetarians and meat eaters), the staff were great and I love the fact it's a charity based cafe. The price fits the portion sizes and the drinks. 10/10 recommended

It was absolutely lovely place with tasty food and cozy atmosphere.

A high recommendation from me. Stumbled upon this place by chance. Sourdough Bacon sandwich was high grade. Light and airy atmosphere and super friendly and efficient staff.

Amazing breakfast today, a real gem of Nottingham. 3 full English and 1 vegan breakfast. Coffee pretty good too. Staff very friendly and spotlessly clean.

Always look forward to coffee and cake when emwe go

I visited cafe Sobar whilst on a weekend away in Nottingham & it was absolutely amazing, great food & really lovely staff it’s such a lovely place to go we loved it that much we went there two days in a row! Would definitely go back! Amazing thank you so much, the staff are amazing & it’s such a great charity I was more than happy to spend my money in there 😀xx

Spotted Cafe Sobar as we were wandering around the city centre looking for an independent cafe. Its bright exterior was inviting. Bustling inside. Very welcoming staff. A lovely art exhibition on one wall. I visited with my teenage daughter. We had coffees and shared a (huge) slice of home-made coffee and walnut cake ... delicious! We were pleased to find that the profits go to charity. The food looked amazing, so planning to go back for brunch soon!

Absolutely fantastic breakfasts. I had a vegan and my niece had a full English. Ordered plenty of extra toast too as the sour dough bread was spot on. Service and staff exceptional 👌🏻

Lovely atmosphere it was so calming, clean and spacious I would highly recommend a visit.

An amazing find on a short trip to Nottingham. What a great concept and putting something back into the community. Great food, accommodating friendly staff and very clean facilities.

Amazing breakfast in the town centre, well cooked well presented and attentive service , will definitely be back

I often come to Café Sobar to catch up on some work (and to enjoy one of their excellent breakfast stacks!) The food is fabulous, well-presented and fairly priced. The staff are always welcoming, attentive and helpful, even when the place is busy (as it is now!) Personally, my favourite spot for breakfast in Nottingham.

Arrived midday and still serving breakfast, bonus! Food fresh and tasty, staff warm and friendly, coffee great, music really relaxing. We'll be back!

Lovely place , with great staff . Good atmosphere & food very nice

Lovely staff, constantly smiling and felt very welcome. Good vibes and good value. Food was amazing, all hot and freshly cooked, with very quick service, waited max 15 minutes. The cafe itself is lovely, very bright but not too overwhelming. Overall, a very good experience, will definitely be coming here again and would definitely recommend!

Great value, breakfast was lovely. Nice quaint cafe located in Notts.

Amazing breakfast, everything was cooked to perfection and my egg was lovely and runny just as I asked it to be, the quality of the ingredients is really high and the space itself is very child friendly with lots of room to navigate the tables! We’ve been here a few times and the chef is always super accommodating to any specific requests we have, adding or taking away items or cooking in a certain way. Thank you for being our go to breakfast and lunch destination when we’re in town!

Top quality breakfast,cooked to perfection

Oh this is such a gem of Nottingham! Myself and my husband visited Nottingham on Saturday just fir a look around as I had never been. We were only staying for a few hours but wanted to grab some coffee and something to eat. We what a treat!! This place is fabulous! Such a gem of Nottingham. The staff were super friendly and really helpful! The food!! It was to die for. The soup that I had with my toastie was out of this world and I could have just had the soup on its own! The cake selection is brilliant and I found it so difficult to make a choice but I ended up with the cake of the day. A beautiful lemon cake. The serving size was more than enough and I wasn't able to finish the whole thing so my lucky husband had the left overs. We will absolutely visit here again the next time we are in Nottingham.

I love this place, best breakfast in Nottingham and amazing staff and a great atmosphere!

Visited this cafe on 21st September 2023 .We ordered the full English breakfast and I was feeling hungry so I ordered the large full english.When the meals arrived you could see quality without even tasting the food . Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted lovely.Cant wait until I'm in Nottingham town centre again to visit this cafe again.

Visited the place based on high reviews. We asked for well done double side fried eggs and we didn't get the eggs as ordered We asked them to cook it again and still not cooked to well done. We found a hair in the plate also.

What a lovely place to stop for a break on our way to the Peak district!

Excellent! Great service and great food!

Very pleasing range of substantial vegan meals, snacks and cakes. They could benefit from being 100% plant-based/vegan as a cafe. The seating/layout could perhaps be improved, with the place feeling a bit like a fishtank or a playpen. Will definitely go back again though!

Delicious food. Great vegan options and the staff is very friendly.

Best all day breakfast in Notts! The staff are amazing, they are really welcoming and can’t do enough for you. The food is 10/10 :)

KIWIS AND AUSSIES looking for a great coffee, look no further. Best coffee we have ever had in the UK

Hanging out for a good coffee. Look no further . Easily best flat white coffee we have ever had in the UK. Great breakfast food to boot, Spotlessly clean cafe, great staff.

Great place lovely atmosphere, food excellent, price even better, welcome great. Our dog loved his welcome and free sausage . Supporting a charity too
