Wish I knew about this sooner! Great Cuban sandwich. Piping hot and reasonably priced. Will return.

Don’t worry about gloves, or even clean hands, just put your grubby fingers right into the pile of sludge you describe as “tuna mayonnaise” …more like mayonnaise tuna, with a side of bacteria. Urgh.

Great place. Never been before but great value for money. A very busy place with a wide choice

Downhill since being taken over. Forgets things in the order and pricing has been increased in places making if unreasonable. Will be my last time.

Great breakfast, good value welcoming atmosphere.

Shocking! I ordered a ‘Gluten Free Breakfast’ which they advertise on the menu. When my breakfast arrived, it had both black pudding & sausages on it (both of which aren’t gluten free very often). I enquired with the staff whether they were gluten free or not, to which they told me the toast was… but the black pudding or sausage might not be. They didn’t offer to swap my breakfast or anything, I was thoroughly disappointed with their level of knowledge on allergies when they clearly offer ‘Gluten Free’ on the menu.

Smart cafe, bit short on seating in winter, but very low prices

Since new owners took over the food is miles better and the sausages have flavour.

Great big breakfast £7.50 with coffee. Great service Food ,nice and hot . Polite owner. Bussy at dinner time lots of people from local office's having sandwiches Been five times definitely use again. Not a big place and can get busy A good variety of sandwiches I would definitely recommend this café

Nice, clean, little cafe. Good value. Will come again.

Amazing food*****Brilliant friendly staff*****

good breakfast and coffee was nice .the sausage were the cheap kind but the bacon was very good we enjoyed it and could not complain

Cracking sandwich shop, recommend the chicken burger 👍🏼

Average breakfast. I thought it would be more delicious. However, they had seating for eating in and a customer toilet.

Had a jacket potato with chilli mince wasn't very nice no flavour in chilli chicken mayo sarnie had black and grey chunks of chicken friendly people shame about quality ,,,🙄

Brilliant food outlet top notch service and food

Everytime the special sandwiches are just amazing, great flavor and perfectly made. The chips are just fantastic, not too dry or too oily! Over all, I'll keep coming

Very impressed with a very tasty hot sandwich today.

Delightful sandwiches and brekky

Great food great service. Love the veggie wraps 😋

Brilliant visit this morning when i took my car to Ray Chapman, Volvo. The best latte I've had in a long while and the toasted tea cake was amazinh. Will be visting again to sample more larger meals that they have on the menu board.... Thank yiu. Great service too..

Friendly service, lovely coffee. Great sandwich and a good cost. Beauty of this place is that it's within walking distance of a few car garages, such as Honda, Hyundai, MG, Volvo, Arnold Clarke and the new Porsche garage currently in development. Means you can sit in the sun whilst waiting for your service. Very happy.

Fantastic food at a very reasonable price

Great place great food great staff

Brilliant customer service, excellent food

Great cafe, good food at good prices. I'd try the cheese cake as well if you ever go

Great place, well priced simple good food and lots of space outdoors.

Brilliant place for a snack , I did not know this place existed ! Until my son took me ,will defiantly be using again .

This place is amazing. Great food and great staff. Working at Manor CE Academy this place is located nearby. A colleague and I go once a week for lunch. Recently had the Christmas deli sandwhich, which was phenomenal. Never had a disappointing visit and dread to think the number of times we have been.

Been here for many a year now top food and top service

Great big breakie defo a 9 out of 10 staff are friendly and prices r cracking

After reading so many half decent reviews thought I'd try this place and I dint half regret it, my bread was soggy, bacon was okish but either need to change the oil u cook hash browns in or change the hash browns cos they tasted foul, my dog even turned his nose up at them and then to top it of they must of used the cheapest sausages going, absolutely no flavour and cooked in deep fat Fryer, definitely won't be using again

First of all majority of their chicken sandwiches (I ordered Cajun Chicken) are halal, I would advise to ask at the counter or message them. My total came to £4.90. The sandwich was wholesome and the cheese cake deliciously good. Very good value for money.

The Best home made cheese cakes in the world

Tasty food as always. Love the new look premises

Best breakfast bap in the North

Nice little place. Good sandwiches.

Great food, reasonably priced, and friendly service.

Excellent quick service food always piping hot and fresh. daily specials are delicious. the staff and owners are lovely people. best in the area ! value for money sandwiches around the corner are more expensive smaller and not as fresh or tasty as they are here. If in the area defo worth a visit.

Quick friendly service, fresh bread and a good range of tasty fillings. Great hot specials that change regularly. Definitely worth a visit. You won't leave hungry.

Hot tasty food, great value for money (£5.50 for big breakfast. Friendly staff.

Lovely staff, great food. Come everyday on my lunch. Portions for sandwiches are great and the burgers are yum!

Just a joy to ur day.super genuine ppl.brighten ur day!portions..huge.fab fab fab place!!!!!!!!

Great place to get breakfast. Good coffee to wake me up.

Sandwiches always generously filled and friendly staff.

Great for lunch and a grand breakfast too.

The breakfast sandwiches aside, sandwich portions keep getting increasingly skimpy. This used to be a good sandwich place.

Callum and his team are great. Excellent sandwiches and ample parking.

Great quality and prices. The people are great and you can park easily. Highly recommended
