Fox Cafe in Nottingham

Love this place the staff were so friendly and engaging, food good and a quirky interior well with a visit

Cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. AMAZING food! Such a fantastic find in Nottingham 🦊

Came with my sister and baby nephew. Not much space, but staff were accommodating and wasn't made to feel awkward for having a baby with us. However wouldn't visit with kids in the future. Is more of a grown up/solo treat vibe.

A very welcome change from the pseudo coffee shops who claim to be American or Italian.... Attentive staff, nice decor. Unique Staff are always happy and smiling. Thanks for keeping your standards over many years.

I can’t rate the food as I wasn’t able to stay long enough. Upon entering I was confronted almost immediately and told that I couldn’t bring a pram inside. My child, who was only a few weeks old at the time, was sleeping and I was asked to leave them to one side while I sat with the rest my family. Needed to breastfeed but couldn’t do that comfortably without ‘getting in the way’. Staff suggested that I sit on one table with one child and husband sit with our son elsewhere. What if I was on my own? What if I was a wheelchair user, would I have to be put to one side while my family enjoyed lunch together? It wasn’t even busy, only two other people seated inside! I was given a telephone number and asked to call to speak to a manager even though I asked for an email address. When I called, every time I called, no one answered. The cafe cares more about covers than customers, simple changes to the layout of seating would make it more inclusive. For one of the few step free access cafes, it’s appalling that they discriminate against customers who need mobility aids. The member of staff I spoke to was understanding but their manager has made the rules on seating very clear and if you need a little more room, go elsewhere.

Great good, lovely ambiance! Best coffee.

I recently had a disappointing experience at your establishment. After enjoying a pumpkin latte and a salmon bagel, I had a reaction to dairy despite having communicated my intolerance multiple times. When my food arrived, it contained regular butter, which I had to ask to be replaced, highlighting a lack of attention to my dietary needs. Unfortunately, I started to feel unwell, and while the restroom was out of order, the manager kindly allowed me to use it. I’ve visited several times without issue, so I was surprised to feel this way. However, the manager insisted it wasn’t their fault and suggested my discomfort might be due to personal stress, which was disheartening. Additionally, I was charged the full bill while I was in the restroom, and my companion paid without my input, as I just wanted to go home. They even offered me paracetamol and tea, which was a kind gesture, but it didn’t fully address my concerns. While the manager apologized, I felt the overall response could have been more empathetic.

Nice bar close to Nottingham city centre. We stopped to have tea, two biscuits and read a book. Nice atmosphere.

What an absolute gem! Wish we'd found it Saturday as it would have been perfect for late lunch! But, thankfully we did find it Sunday morning. A very warm welcome. Gorgeous fresh cooked food and a really lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place!! 🦊 Wonderful and relaxed atmosphere, really lovely staff, fabulous coffee and the desserts are divine!! Lemon tart and caramel brownie the best i’ve ever had 😍 Huge plus that my pup is so welcome too. Highly recommend a visit!!

Fabulous café in the heart of the city centre. Try the fish board👌 The venue is quite small and it does get very busy, so be patient. However, the staff and the service is excellent.

Great find by accident. Strongly recommend this delightful coffee shop/ sandwiches for lunch. Very tasty and well made food - flakytuna in good quality sourdough bread and salad.

Very good coffees and sandwiches 10/10

Such a friendly staff, the food was very yummy just the right portions and the place is beautiful 😍

I popped into this coffee shop once when visiting nottingham, the coffee is amazing and the staff are always so sweet, we now come to this cafe every time we visit nottingham.

This is such a gorgeous little cafe, the decor is so cute, the staff were very friendly but the service was quite slow, i understand we went on a busy day but later orders arrived before ours. The seating was a bit scary, it was skinny, backless, tall stools against a bar facing the wall, for a cup of tea and a chat with a friend it was perfect but we were having a meal so it was a little cramped. The food and drinks were delicious though, I had a panini and a smoothie and they were totally delicious I am drooling just thinking about eating it again.

Everything was fantastic - from the decor, atmosphere, service and food. Couldn't fault it. Its not to be missed. I cannot rate this place highly enough.

We really enjoyed our visit to Fox Cafe. There were plenty of vegan options for me to choose from and we absolutely adored the fox paraphernalia all over the cafe. I wish we would have gone one more time during our trip so I could have tried more of the menu — I guess that will have to wait until our next visit!

Elite Banana bread and decent coffee. The staff are lovely. Kind of cramped on the inside but not beyond cosy. I’d love to return to try more. The lady with the blue bits in her hair is fantastic at her job.

An amazing place we didn't eat but the food being served to other customers looked lovely so next time with another chai latte will be breakfast oh staff amazing to 😁

Fabulous! Friendly genuine service, home-cooked, healthy food and good portions and a lovely, unique and non-chain atmosphere - Keep it up, such a warm experience:)

What do restaurants have against seasoning their food??? The eggs were completely bland Bagels were perfectly toasted and service was great, but please season your food😭

Had a couple of coffees and a couple of cakes, was served by a young lady with black and blue hair with another taking a payment and both were lovely. Recommend me what to have and was very sweet. Iv only been here for a short amount of time but I would highly recommend them. Great cake. Good coffee and great service

Sandwiches nice and girl who served us was pleasant but coffee overpriced and awful. Ordered 2 regular cappuccinos both were so milky and pale were more like lattes and you couldn’t even taste coffee. The manager came out and said if we wanted an extra shot of coffee we should have ordered the large for 30p extra and that would have had 2 shots of coffee instead of 1, but because we didnt order the large and asked for the extra shot to be put in the small we would have to pay 1,25 per coffee extra so basically it cost £5 for each for a small cappuccino to have any taste of coffee and it still wasn’t great. There are loads of places to get great coffee in Nottingham, Fox cafe is NOT one of them, I usually go to other independent places and the coffees are great, so is the service. Visiting Fox was a big mistake, it will be the first and last time I visit. The manager was not at all customer focused and quite abrupt didn’t care or even accept or acknowledge that the coffee wasn’t right, they clearly dont t have any respect for customers as to act this way in a hospitality business is shocking. I have never experienced such a situation where you are forced to pay extra for a coffee to even remotely taste like it should. I suspect they are not tamping the coffee properly when making them either that or they’re using very low quality beans. Do yourself a favor and take a walk up the road you will find better service and produce and not be treated with contempt and their £5 sub standard drinks aren’t worth £2, Greggs would do a better job!

Fabulous decor, food and service! Lots of choice of panini fillings, salads and much more! The banana bread is divine! The only negative of this wonderful place is you often aren’t lucky enough to get a table because of how popular and busy it can get.

Hey, when I order a vegetarian English breakfast and bacon on an extra plate, I mean exactly that and nothing else. The bacon (1.5 slices) is then served on the same plate and costs an extra £2.5!!?? I have to order the second Americano three times... each time without milk. He is then brought (AFTER breakfast), WITH milk. I let the milk go back. The bill comes WITH milk, oat milk is charged extra. Too many people in service (5!) who don't coordinate with each other. We didn't have any fun. There was also no excuse for the disaster. Cutlery and salt would also be forgotten. When it comes to prizes: practice, practice, practice.

A friendly, busy cafe. Good GF selection and a wide menu. Staff friendly and professional.

Can't review any of the food as they wanted me and my partner to sit outside with our baby in the rain because a baby's buggy is a health and safety issue apparently, 0 family friendly environment and will never bother trying to eat here again ive never experienced this before in Nottingham in much smaller restaurants and cafes and I'm very disappointed by this experience.

Absolutely wonderful food, Jane and the staff went above and beyond to cater for my needs being Vegan and gluten free, lovely atmosphere, once again thank you Jane & all staff grwat hospitality from Lisa & Lynne

Wow Very friendly staff always with smile Coffee delicious and food yummy Highly recommend

Lovely place to stop for lunch or just a coffee, reasonably priced, lots of choice.

Need a new chef. Massivley overpriced. Terrible breakfast. Sausages overdone, bacon overdone/burnt, tea wasnt hot hot so went cold quickly, lovely lad serving, they only do scrambled eggs no fried, no poached 😳🤷🏽‍♂️ surely frying a egg 🍳 is easier and quicker than scrambling. It’s probably why the rest of the breakfast was dry. Only enjoyed the toast with butter. Lots of potential with this place, and there was only one other customer here. Its got a coffee machine, can’t really go wrong with coffee can you. Maybe i just picked the wrong breakfast, please take the full english breakfast off the menu.

The very best breakfast in the Midlands!

Cute cafe with a strong fox theme. Menu was very limited but probably a good idea based on size of the kitchen. Good food and helpful staff.

Very tasty and filling food. Service was great, even during busy hours.

I've been going to fox cafe for many years, the staff the food and the atmosphere has always been excellent and very very professional and very polite and cautious lovely staff. Definitely worth exspiencing the attached and top quality food, MATT ,

Great place for a full English.

Best sandwiches in Nottingham by far. Staff is great! Such a cozy and nice place. 🙏🏼

Popped in for a breakfast, glad I did. This place is a perfect start to a day, the staff were great and the food was lovely.

I went to the Fox this morning for the first time. Very impressed. It did take a while for my breakfast to come out of the kitchen but it was well worth the wait. The staff are very friendly and provide excellent service. The food was fresh hot and very tasty. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this place as an excellent choice for a delicious breakfast. A massive thank you to the whole team 🙏🏽😃👍🏽

Was slow service as it was clearly cooked fresh. We were in a bit of rush so tricky. Foxy breakfast was amazing though. Give yourself time and enjoy the treat of great food coffee or tea !

Went there today, waited ages for service that didn't come. Last straw was one of the staff told another waitress to serve people who came 10 minutes after us. Terrible service. We left and won't be going back. Overated dump.

We had a short but lovely time, popped in for a breakfast before taking the train, the staff was super accomodating with our time constraint. Food and drinks were delicious and pricing was super reasonable.

We went there for coffee and breakfast earlier this week. We did the breakfast paninis and food was great. Service was on the slower side despite being the second customers alone im the store

i’m from preston just been there once and’s everything was fabulous, the cake turn 10 off 10 the design of the coffee 10 off 10 everything is very special the design inside the coffee house was incredible , definitely I’ll go back there 💙🤗

Absolute rip off. The worst breakfast I have ever had. Scrambled eggs only no other egg options, you only get one anemic looking sausage and some thin cardboard like bacon. Disgusted that I paid £30 for two breakfasts and two glasses of juice.

Was nice breakfast coffee☕️staff was friendly. Would go back there again

Great breakfast in an excellent spot in the city centre

A great place to have your breakfast in cosy surroundings. Lovely friendly happy staff. The internal decor is wonderful with lots of fox related art work. The breakfast was perfectly cooked, an excellent portion to set you up for the day and very tasty. If you are in the area and want a small pause in the day - for a drink or meal you have to come to the Fox Cafe.

Very cute, very quaint. Perfect for lunch or breakfast and accommodating for food allergies/intolerances.

Lovely gem in Nottingham. Fast and quick service, lovely atmosphere and decorations! Breakfast Granola great, will definitely come back when in Nottingham again.

Nice coffee, poor service waited for 20 mins to be served and eventually left. Disappointed

Great cafe with table service. Staff are friendly and attentive. Nicely decorated and has a chilled out vibe.

Visited 02/06/24 Got here about 9.30am and was busy We had to sit on high chars.. not very comfortable.. I had a full breakfast and my wife had a breakfast panini... Both very nice.. Did ask for brown sauce . It tasted more like soap.. not very nice.(Only minus point) Also had a cappuccino each ,which was just lovely... Staff brilliant. Very friendly Will definitely recommend 10/10 Will will definitely revisit when in staying Nottingham again...

Had an amazing brunch during our stay in Nottingham. Great scones, delicious cakes, lovely staff. The interior is pretty charming, too, going hard on that Fox theming.

Frequent at the cafe often with my mum, very disappointed to find a live insect inside my cake. When raised issue with staff, they were not accommodating- will not be visiting again.

Just had lunch here with my Mum and sister. Between us, we have 2 vegans/veggie and a gluten free so it's always a challenge to find somewhere we can all eat. This place is amazing. I had the vegan board. It was a huge portion and every part of it was absolutely delicious. We also had a veggie breakfast and the gluten free cheese on toast which were of the same standard as the board. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful too. Will definitely be returning next time I'm in the city, cannot rate it highly enough!

What a beautiful little find!! I Didn't know about this place and I'm so glad I do now. Lovely staff, lovely service

Treasure Coffee Shop, various fox themes, you will be surprised when you order cappuccino with coffee, the staff is very friendly, I ordered a panini set, the taste is above average, as a person who does not like desserts (because most people in the UK The desserts are all too sweet), and I highly recommend their banana panini. It’s full of banana flavor and the sweetness is acceptable to me. It’s worth coming back.

we've known and walked past the fox so many times yet it was only about six weeks ago we stopped there for a morning coffee whilst waiting for our appointment at the peoples barbers ... dealing with the prosaic stuff first, the coffee and the earl grey both hit the spot, exactly what we need ... plus roxy (la chienne) got fussed over with water and treats ... anyway, after a busy afternoon in and around Notts, we decided to pop in on our way home for one of their extensive range of gin cocktails, prepared by the wonderful Megan ... we went with the menu for the first one, a nice mandarin infused cocktail with standard tonic, but as cocktail alchemists, we knew we could do much better, so we enhanced the next one with dandelion and burdock replacing the tonic, a hit with everyone (and now christened 'The Megan') ... anyway, so good was every aspect of these two visits that we've been back a couple of time since, and been overwhelmed by the welcome, the service and the lemon tart (just ask the girls across the street at space.nk willow and jess, i believe they loved them two) ... we haven't sampled anything else from the extensive menu yet, but will certainly be doing so on our next visit to Notts ... thanks so much to everyone there, much appreciated by Roxy & I ...

Small, busy but simultaneously quiet. Friendly helpful staff.

Not many choices for breakfast, limited choices. Atmosphere was great tho

Nice food. I had the panceta, brie and spinach panini and it was really good for the price. Nice atmosphere and decor.

Nice little cafe but coffee was really expensive (over £4 for an oat latte) and it wasn’t anything exceptional. Also charges extra for plant milk which is a shame! But cool decor and friendly staff

Loved the atmosphere there. Very chilled, good background music not overly loud, and a generally cosy vibe. It just gets very busy and there aren’t many seating spaces. The staff is super friendly. The selection of sandwiches and panini is pretty large, with other options like salad and cheese and charcuterie boards. The panini was absolutely delicious, full of flavour. Would recommend!

I had the best Chai Latte from Fox Cafe. And the atmosphere and the service is next level.

One of the cutest cafes in Notts, good atmosphere and decent coffee, one of the must visits in Notts :)

Super lovely experience. Girls who served us were so amazing and deserve a pay rise honestly. Loved the brownie and cappuccino! <3

Plenty of gluten free options, fantastic range of menu items, GREAT quality food and coffee, friendly and attentive staff, great experience 🙂 Would definitely come here often if I lived near here!

The latte was absolutely delish, I came in for the morning to get some banana bread and latte so I could do some drawing and the staff were so friendly and polite, they were unfortunately out of banana bread but thats nothing they can fix on the spot so i went without! Next time I come in ill definitely be trying it!

I love this cafe! The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere nice and relaxed. I come here often and have never been disappointed.

Delicious food, a variety of sandwiches and panini's with many different fillings, including vegetarian and vegan options and gluten free. Lovely decour and brilliant service and choice.

Gorgeous food and cafe! Love my morning coffees here…

Lovely place with an amazing dirty chai latte, great interior and very friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting again on future trips to Nottingham!

The food is alright and the staff is friendly, bit definitely a bit pricey and the music is way too loud, almost stressfully loud.

Gorgeous coffee and cake - I definitely want to come back to try the breakfast.

Nice place, friendly staff and good coffee and panini.

Fox Cafe is a wonderful little spot: the food is delicious, the staff are super friendly and the vibes are great. Would definitely visit again when back in Nottingham!

Lovely atmosphere with lots of fox pictures. Service was friendly. Good vegan options, too - although some might say the breakfast was a little bland. The coffee was great though.

The Fox Cafe is a lovely little cafe tucked away in the centre of Nottingham. Great atmosphere (Bob Dylan music playing throughout), some fantastic fox art & nick backs. The staff were very friendly & provide table service that never felt overbearing nor inattentive, the food was great and we could see that there were plenty of options for vegans (we had a meaty full English breakfast - the scrambled eggs were spot on!), the coffee was great and I also had a lovely peppermint tea. Only drawback is that it is so fab that it's quite busy, so whilst there was space for us there were people that had to be turned away as the space is quite limited.

Good coffee and lovely staff. A perfect place for an afternoon coffee or a brunch with loved ones.

Great little cafe in the heart of Nottingham. The cooked breakfast was made with fresh produce and was delicious as well as being reasonable priced.

Really cute cafe, 10/10 staff very friendly, great place for a Sunday coffee

Lovely little café. Very green and rustic. Fast friendly service. Tasty food and drinks.

Lush. I had a chicken tikka panini and it was the highlight of my day!

I've visited The Fox many times, it's always the first place we go when visiting the city centre. The service, the atmosphere and food is fantastic. 13/01/2024 Just for a change it was the last place we went today and it's still as good as ever. We love the fox cafe.

Such a cute, quaint little cafe, just off Nottingham city centre. It was a pleasure to visit Fox Cafe and enjoy a cuppa with some cake. The decor was simply stunning and completely on theme with the style of the cafe- definitely worth the visit. I will definitely endeavour to visit again to try the brunch options (and perhaps update my review).

I love the Fox café! Whenever my daughter is in Nottingham, we come here. It's quirky and fun and holds a little magic in its atmosphere. The coffee is always good as is the food.

We had a tasty breakfast at the Fox our bacon was overcooked but the sandwiches for our train journey home were delicious. The jazz was just right and the service was perfect.

Service was fast and efficient, food was excellent and a decent portion. Biggest standout for me was the coffee, the mocha was perfectly balanced between coffee and chocolate and wasn't overwhelmingly sweet either.

The Foxy Breakfast was good value. Great coffee too.

Extensive choice of food and drink. Superb quality. Fabulous service.

Whilst the food options are veritable. The price are too much for any offering. The value proposition versus the quality and size is not good.

Very nice even with a hangover 😜

Great food, great drinks, great staff and great vibes. Great for gluten free options too!

Really good selection of interesting sandwichs and variety of breads to suit peoples dietary needs. Highly Recommended :)

Very enjoyable,didn't need to wait long to be served and the breakfast was the best I have had for sometime in the city ,the staff was equally pleasant.

Always try to make it here when I'm in Nottingham. It's always busy so can be hard getting a table at times and service is a little slow as a result. However, the food is fantastic, the banana bread is delicious! The décor is beautiful and the whole ambience is very cosy. Prices reflect the quality of what you get. Don't expect mega cheap, but it's not a rip-off by any means. A wonderful place, serving delicious food in a nice environment. Pop in for breakfast, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely food and great drinks! Will visit again !

Nice independent cafe. It gets very busy.
