Fox Cafe in Nottingham

WOW! This place has ticked all the boxes! Externally it looks warm, inviting and made us (my mum and I) want to take a peek.... we decided to go in for breakfast and the place is so very beautifully decorated. Every inch as something quirky and foxy that we sat there for the first 10 mins just looking around and pointing it all out to each other! The menu is great, cant imagine anyone not being able to find something to order. I have an allergy also and they fully accommodated it without me feeling like I was an inconvenience. The food was so great that we returned the next day just to buy some of the banana bread to take home with us! I really cannot recommend this place highly enough - 5 stars are not enough!

Super, friendly, great service. Gluten Free too. Love it! Regulars here. Waiting staff super and cheerful. Excellent choices

I went with my boyfriend after spotting this place while passing by. We were quickly seated inside. The atmosphere is amazing. Though a little cramped, the style of dinning plays into it with foxy trinkits and artwork all over to keep your eyes busy. They server breakfast till late, which I was very glad to hear because we arrived at 12 and I was eager to get a good old full english. Our sever was friendly and informative. The menu was easy to understand. The food came out reasonbly quickly and it was nice to see into the kitchen and view the barrister. My boyfriend seemed impressed by the panninie he ordered. I was blown away by my foxy breakfast. Nothing tasted store bought and everything was skillfully prepared. I was very happy about that because I look a fine quality meal. The staff really put the effort in, making for a full english I'll not forget any time soon and it left me eager to come back again. To top it off, I ordered a coffee. I'm a tuff one to please with coffee so I was very happy to be servered a capichine which was neatly prepared and tasted lovely. No bitterness, good tempreture and a fox shaped chocolate dusting on top to give it a bit of foxy charm. I can't wait to go again and purchased a foxy hat from their merch to remember the day with. Can't wait to go again. I hope they're always this good at their jobs, its very evident the staff put a lot of heart and soul into this outstanding experiance.

Initially staff very friendly. Ordered 2 x regular Cappuccino’s when these came they were very weak and much more like a latte. I was polite and asked to make the cappuccino stronger, member of staff came out and politely challenged us saying a regular size has one shot of coffee and a large has 2 so basically if I wanted a stronger coffee I should have ordered the large one (really silly) She then proceeded to say if we want the coffee stronger then we had to pay £2.50 extra to make the coffees stronger! I said do as you wish and they simply added some more coffee to the cappuccinos around 5 mins later and still average to say the least. Could not honestly believe it. Nottingham is full of good coffee shops and I like coffee. Will certainly not come back to this place: did have a nice sandwich, total bill for 2 sándwiches and 2 regular cappuccinos + plus extra coffee £25.90 Wow. Shame really and to much competition to give this level of service. Good luck to you

Being comic to foxes cafe for other 7years ,and always had excellent service and excellent food and drink atmosphere is very very good .and will be going for many years to come, all round excellent place to eat drink and relax

A great little cafe serving a variety of different kinds of food and drinks to suit all tastes. I had a fabulous salad and my husband had the walnut and date bread sandwich with cold meat which he said was delicious. Coffee was good too. Staff were lovely and food fresh and tasty. A great little cafe if you’re looking for something different.

Fantastic little cafe, indoor and outdoor seating Super friendly & helpful staff lots of interesting things to see around the place lovely coffee BUT the food was spectacular!! and SO much value for money wish we could go every day

Fabulous little café in the centre of Nottingham that serves a good range of cakes and hot drinks to enjoy. The coffee is delicious and so indeed are the cakes! I chose a brownie and am so glad I did. There's a tempting menu for lunches also. Sat outside enjoying the coffee, watching the world go by - fabulous! Well worth a visit.

Went to the Fox Cafe last week with a friend, had a cake & couple of glssses of wine. The costumer service was excellent especially by the waitress that served us “Vani” she was so beautiful & lovely so I will definitely be visiting again.

Very good cafe, well positioned in the centre of town. We had the panini, which were very nice. They have a big breakfast option, priced around £12. This did look nice. The union coffee was also very good.

The banana bread is amazing. All the staff were friendly and attentive. They have a good selection of food and drinks and I liked the decor. Most definitely would revisit. 10/10

Myself and my partner both ordered a cooked breakfast - mine being vegetarian and and gluten free and his the meat option with no dietary requirements. The Cafe proudly stated that they had meat,vegetarian,vegan and gluten free options both outside written in the board and when we spoke to the staff member who served us. I chose the vegetarian option and I asked if it this had the gluten free alternative, the staff member said yes - you can’t have the vegetarian sausage but you can swap it out for more hash browns or something else already in the plate (so no gluten free option really). When my food arrived, the eggs were SO sloppy and snot-like (not everyone likes runny scrambled eggs, please ask a customer how they like their eggs before serving! (Some customers cannot eat undercooked eggs due to certain reasons - pregnancy, certain bowel issues etc. I just don’t like them I find them unappealing). The hash browns - were awful. They tasted of very little other than oil and were definitely from a cheap frozen pack, cooked quickly and if I’m honest not cooked properly the potato was still hard and “bitty”. The beans were barely three or four forkfuls, whilst the mushrooms were clearly there to bulk out the plate portion and were plentiful, they again were cooked poorly - so oily and didn’t really taste of anything, much like the hash browns. The tomatoes on the vine, flash heated under a grill barely any “cooking” happened to them so we’re just warm tomatoes. No seasoning,herbs, garlic just cheaply sourced food cooked with little care chucked on my plate. My partners meet option was much the same - ONE sausage (thin and small), runny wet eggs, loads of oily mushrooms and undercooked hash browns and tomatoes. At nearly £12 per plate, absolutely fuming to be honest! I really don’t like to leave bad reviews and I’m not in the habit of keyboard warrior-ing my way through a complaint (I understand and do sympathise with the current climate and how difficult it must be to entice and retain customers and I don’t relish the thought of putting off paying customers), but for the price we paid today (£34 for two small breakfast plates and one tea plus a beer), it’s simply not good enough quality for that amount of cash. The music and decor were absolutely lovely however, and the staff were helpful and seated us quickly. I did mention my disappointment to the staff member who took our payment, and she replied “she hadn’t tried the food so she didn’t know”, but she would mention this to the kitchen. I suppose this was suffice enough as I did not want to cause a scene or make any of the chefs uncomfortable in front of customers. But I really do hope the staff in the kitchen do read this or they were told about our experience. I don’t like food waste and I do detest picky eaters! (my diet is for health reasons and personal choice), but that food was so bland, boring and I didn’t even eat it. I couldn’t stomach it, my partner ate some of his but only because he could stand the thought of spending £12 and still having an empty stomach! Maybe if we tried the sandwiches or soups next time the experience would be better for us, people seem to really love the sandwich/deli side of this cafe.

This place is nothing short of amazing. Genuinely makes me so happy, the fox's make it so cozy and cute (even though i'm lowkey freaked out by fox's in general), their coffees are PHENOMENAL. Like the best I've ever had, this place is 5 stars I wish I could give it 10!!! The staff are amazing all so sweet, gentle and nice! The only problem is that because of its coziness and popularity it can be overcrowded - sometimes I've had to come back at a less busy time to get a seat, but this shouldn't diminish it's brilliance as a coffee shop. YOU MUST VISIT HERE THE SANDWICHES ARE UNREAL!!!

We popped in on a wet Monday to a very warm welcome. Although not large, booking advisable, the atmosphere is very relaxing with a great sound track in the background. My yoghurt and granola was packed with fruit and utterly delicious which was accompanied by a great coffee. Others had a panini and salmon and scrambled eggs which they thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for a great breakfast experience which lit up an otherwise wet day.

Rubbish place that don’t accept American Express wake up it’s 2023 why not accept America Express? Not going back!

What a fantastic little eatery in the centre of a great area of Nottingham centre. I am difficult to feed as I'm gluten free, vegan and can't eat more than a tiny amount of oil and yet I had a lovely lunch and so did my (more straight forward to cater for) son. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was suitable and I'm really grateful to them for all their attention to detail to ensure that I was able to feel confident that I wasn't going to be ill and also have a fab lunch! Lovely coffee too guys! We will be back. It's also dog friendly so win, win xx

Came to meet some friends and had a great breakfast; the service was lovely which added to the cosy atmosphere. I’ll be back again!

always a lovely experience good food, extensive menus. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing. 👍 If your Nottingham i would always recommend you pop in to enjoy !

Simply the best lunchtime spot in Nottingham. The friendliest and most efficient staff providing delicious and wholesome meals in a quietly gorgeous setting. Literally couldn’t praise you more.

Called in here for quick lunch with friend. Ordered a panini and tuna sandwich - not complicated order yet we were waiting over 45 minutes for food!! Others seemed to be served much quicker than us so maybe they had misplaced order? Had to pay before food received as sitting outside which is unusual. Panini was not great. Hardly any goats cheese or walnuts but lots of very hot runny sticky onion chutney. Poor value for price paid. Much better options in Nottingham Disappointing won’t return 😞

Sadly everything was too much trouble here. Promised a seat move from the uncomfortable bench seats but we were refused when we re-asked as “the lady was new who told us we could”. Was literally told off for looking for a table. We couldn’t talk to our friends or eat comfortably sadly. Was asked whether I wanted a medium or large coffee, asked for large. Given small and told “the new lady made a mistake.” The food was lovely but the experience wasn’t pleasant.

Disappointed with our lunch Both left half our panini each and we aren't the kind to leave food Too much cranberry sauce Too Much onion chutney

Lovely food but a little pricey. It’s a really nice cafe bistro. They had plenty to choose from staff were very friendly. The food was made to order and you could tell all the produce was good quality. I would recommend this lovely little place

Very tasty food and cute atmosphere! The service was very speedy and the staff were super friendly! Would definitely come back!

Visited Fox Cafe with friends for lunch. Excellent atmosphere, lovely choice of food and friendly service Highly recommended Will be back

Me and my partner Sarah visited Nottingham on a shopping trip. As we we're too early for the clothes shop Zara. I mentioned we go for breakfast. Because out of the corner of my eye I noticed the fox café and how continental the outside looked. The inside is even better, After being seated we both decided on the vegetarian foxy breakfast We didn't wait long and was pleasingly surprised with our order. What an amazing breakfast and good conversation encouraged by the artistic Parisian vibe of the cafe Which was further felt by the Very reasonable price of the bill. Love the staff and their cool uniforms. We have decided to make it our goto place when visiting Nottingham again.

Blatant rip-off. Ordered 2 tea with soya milk.... after all this is advertised as vegan and vegetarian plus meat. Tea is £2.80 which is bad enough but they charged us a premium for soya milk. Can't believe they gouge like this in today's day and age. Charged extra for that! Total bill £6.60.... complete rip-off

My brother and I came in with the children for the first time after being recommended and it did not disappoint, a wide variety of tasty salads, sandwiches and paninis as well as an all day breakfast option was exactly what we were after. Best salad iv had in years and delicious coffee only problem was struggled to get a seat as so busy, will be back

4 POUND ONE STILL WATER,i only want ed to go in bathroom!!!! The staff makes it looks like normal. For a bar of Newcastle its unccettabile!!! THE WATER WASNT GOOD ENOUGHT

Very nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Ordered Foxy Breakfast and panini- panini was lovely but breakfast was slightly underdone but not disastrous. Service was a bit slow when paying.

came on 31st may and asked for a seat just for a hot drink to catch up with some work, After 10 mins order a drink as service was slow then after explaining I didn’t want food, another member of staff seemed irritated when I...

This cafe is in a fantastic spot. It is very inviting and has a good menu. We went there for breakfast and it was quite busy as you would expect. The staff were very polite but jeez, even for a busy place, the wait was...

OMG, this place is lovely, quirky festival for the eyes. Coffee, menus, and specialities on blackboards are hidden amongst the Foxy paraphernalia 🦊 which is lovely. (I do live a fox)! They have lovely staff, and they are pretty much the only cafe that opens...

great little cafe for breakfast or brunch - nice staff, cool interior, have been there a couple of times and its one of nottinghams many jewels. I like grabbing a coffee at costa or neros chain places etc but this place is the total opposite...

Always enjoy coming to this cafe! The staff, environment + decor, and food are great! Lots of options to choose from with both food and drink and I am yet to be disappointed with any of my choices! Great options for vegetarians too!

Although being really busy due to Christmas being round the corner, the staff were very attentive and apologetic that we had ti wait a little while to get our order taken. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was so lovely. Will definitely be returning!!

We were a party of 3 persons, ordered 2 vegan breakfast, American coffee, latte and orange juice. Cozy atmosphere, enjoyed the music very much. Prices are fare comparing to quality of the food.

I hardly every make a review of an establishment but my golly todays experience in the Uber friendly Fox Cafe was a spanking scrumptious smack of vegetable soup! Great flavours and consistency which was accompanied with tasty bread and croutons. No other place comes close...

Super relaxed vibe to this cafe, with warm and friendly service. The full breakfast was delicious, don’t forget to ask for the sourdough toast. The roasted cherry vine tomatoes were lovely, and given the crates piled up, they get through a lot. The use Union...

The panini is excellent. Food portion is really big. Coffee is served at right temperature and taste good. Service is the best part of the cafe. Staff serves with passion and very nice smile. They are very responsive and polite. They are the main reason...

My friend and i popped in here for breakfast before hitting the sales. We were warmly greeted by a lovely waitress and after a few minutes a table became free. We ordered a veggie breakfast and a full English breakfast and a flat white each....

Lovely decor, atmosphere due to the popularity and staff excellent too…but the food (full breakfast) is lacking. Sausages were poor quality, hash browns were the cheap nasty ones and the toast cold/rock hard. A few grilled tomatoes on the vine attempting to ‘upmarket’ the whole...

The vegetarian breakfasts was poor, hash browns were disappointing and the sausages similarly average. The staff were lovely and the coffee was really good.

My wife found this little cafe in Nottingham City Centre and I am pleased she did. Fox Cafe is a genuinely independent place with a great ambience and a dedicated team of staff (I won't give a shout-out to any individuals because the entire team...

Went in for lunch and was sat in a cozy place with an amazing fox theme. Food is very good at a good price

We arrived early in Nottingham for the dinner time KO for Forest v Liverpool and need a place for breakfast. I had read the views and we decided to give it ago. We wasn't disappointed, a wonderful cafe and delightful staff. The breakfast smelt amazing,...

This café is located on an attractive street in the city centre. It has an industrial type design to the interior and also an outside seating area. It appears to be very popular, we managed to find the last two available seats on the morning...

Cosy place with a character. They grind the cofee from beans. Triangle brie avocado sandwich on granary bread was delicious. Nice music. Great place!

Lovely independent cafe! Friendly staff and delicious food. Certainly our favourite in Notts! Triangles are provided.

Lo encontramos por casualidad, y vaya acierto! Café riquísimo! Full english breakfast (foxy) sabrosísimo! Tartas deliciosas! No se le puede...

They advertise that they have gluten free options but when I asked the manager to confirm this I was shocked with the answer. I was told they would do their best but could not guarantee that there would not be any cross contamination. This is...

paninis banged !!! got the cajun chicken and i highly recommend staff seemed a bit confused about the way to order drinks as there was no written menu (?)

Visited on the strength of TripAdvisor reviews, and I wasn’t disappointed. I had the Foxy breakfast, which was literally a plateful. Now that I can’t eat dairy, I have to be careful with the ingredients, which the server was more than happy to help me...

Had some time to kill in Nottingham between busses, looking for a vegan friendly place for a late breakfast and happened upon this lovely place. I had the vegan full breakfast and my friend had the Foxey one. Both thoroughly enjoyed and would recommended to...

Recently enjoyed a nice breakfast, the granola was just what I needed to set me up for the day. Not only that but the presentation was eye catching, so much so that the group beside me commented on how lovely the granola looked too. The...

Amazing food, great service and lovely staff. Highly recommend.Banana bread is definitely a must tastes unreal.

Went here on a Sunday a bit hungover with my boyfriend with a long day ahead of us. The breakfast was amazing and so was the service. The theme of the cafe was very cool as well and will definetly be coming back should I...

We were passing and thought we'd stop for breakfast. They did forewarn us there was a long wait for food, however we also found the service to be unnecessarily slow, staff just walking past without clearing tables. The food was distinclty average, un-buttered toast, a...

So glad to find a cosy, independent cafe that serves an all Day breaky when other don’t . I opted for the vegan breakfast and wasn’t disappointed. The portion size was overwhelming and each individual ingredient was scrumptious. Highly recommend the surroundings and the attentive...

Absolutely amazing food, visited again today and as amazing, but please. Could you compliment one of the male waiters on his trousers, absolutely amazing, they were the perfect length and the hems looked very trendy!! This will definitely make me want to come back more...

As ever great food visited again today all good as usual but please. Could you sort out one of the male waiters trousers they were very short and the hems hanging down it won’t stop us coming but it could look better maybe some sort...

First of all, the staff were very friendly and welcoming to this quirky café. Unfortunately we had to wait for our veggie breakfast and chicken and bacon salad for at least half an hour whilst everyone, bar one, were served before us! They had all...

Delicious breakfast. Many choices in the menue. Every single dish is amazing. Coffee and tea was perfect. Cake was so Yummie. Just it took too much time to get our order.. never mind, this means its freshly cocked for me.

this is a gem this place. quality service ,food,ambience (remember that),for people who appreciate what they eat and where. quality recommendations from service,excellent food. why cant everybody else get it right. if you visit nottingham visit here. a geniune five star establishment on all levels.

We visited the cafe around brunch time and had a foxy all day breakfast, it was very nice and was really worth the wait and money. The fox cafe always looks busy and I have heard many good things about it. It has a lovely...

Popped by for lunch after seeing great reviews, 2 adults and a 12yr old. The place was packed, but we were offered a place if we didnt mind waiting 5 mins. Glad we waited, the staff were great. Although very busy they were still very...

I only called in here for a coffee. It was served pretty quickly and I was satisfied with it. People nearby who were eating food looked like they were enjoying it!

Board outside states gluten free and dairy free/vegan options. Took about 10 mins to be seated. When I could finally ask a member of staff what was suitable, the three breakfasts that were gf were not available and the only sandwich that didn't contain cheese,...

Such a lovely relaxing environment with attentive staff and amazing coffee. ***** Warm, friendly and definitely worth a visit thank you.

Best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Amazing! So lovely inside. Cater so well to vegetarians with a delicious mixture of fillings. Great for a nice bit of lunch.

Honestly don’t think anything I write will do this place enough justice. The ambience is extremely cozy, the food and drinks are perfect, and the staff are very welcoming and kind. This place has everything you’d want in a cafe. Perfect value for the service...

Hidden charges! Had to pay £2.95 extra on top of the sandwich price just for a tiny bit of salad a and a few awful tasting crisps! This is usually included when buying a sandwich not charged extra for! Shocking to say the least. Would...

Awful business, pretend they can serve people with a nut allergy so they can take your money for drinks and only after you’ve ordered a drink they inform you they cannot serve you after previously saying they can accommodate for an allergy. Even the waitress...

We’ve lived in Nottingham for over 8 years and always walked pass thinking we need to give it a go. Well today we finally did and think to ourselves, why did we wait 8 years?! All the staff were the most friendly people in the...

Disappointed, read the reviews, thought it would be great. The breakfast was ok but overpriced. £27 for two breakfasts and two glasses of orange juice. The hash browns had been microwaved, the sausage was no better than Aldi own make, there’s only scrambled eggs available,...

What a friendly vibrant little eaterie! Lovely staff, great coffee, and yummy food. Centrally located.

We went for a Sunday breakfast with my partner and the staff is ever so nice, atmosphere is also very quirky (however the bar chairs are not the most comfortable to sit around for way too long). I have ordered a vegetarian breakfast and my...

I have been a couple of times before Covid but this was the first time this year. I took my sister as I had been impressed with Fox Cafe before. We ordered two sandwiches and hot drinks. The service was exceptionally SLOW. Drinks arrived after...

I visited Fox Cafe before a date, as I really fancied a quick Mocha. Service was quick and polite. The Mocha was absolutely delicious, hot, and chocolatey. Fox Cafe is an oasis of serenity in the busy city of Nottingham. I’ll visit again, whenever I...

We visited for lunch, it was a lovely day and we sat outside. We had the veggie all day breakfast and a cheese, pesto and veggie panini. Both dishes were lovely, cooked well, fresh ingredients and very tasty as is always the case at the...

Stopped here for a bite to eat n a coffee. Have been before but this is the first time after Covid began. Panini n sandwich on its own - u had to pay xtra for crisps n a salad - was far too expensive. I...

My friend and I ordered the vegan platter between us. We were advised that there was plenty for two. The server said we might want an extra bread basket. The platter was £10 and the bread was £2. The platter consisted of four slices of...

Lovely food, and great service. Eliza was an amazing waitress, so helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend to all.

Had a breakfast and a vegan board and can honestly it was the best meal I have had in a long time, great quality! Everyone there was so lovely it really made me feel at home. Would definitely recommend!!

Gorgeous place with great food and amazing coffee. Loved the atmosphere and the staff are super friendly!

We visited the cafe for breakfast and had high expectations given the generally good reviews on Tripadvisor. The coffee was superb and the staff are some of the friendliest I have come across in Nottingham. However the food was really disappointing - particularly the Full...

I went here for lunch with my girlfriend after people giving recommendations for the cafe. However, I feel extremely disappointed about my experience here. We were sat at a table outside and a drinks order was taken, then the waitress gave us a few minutes...

Great breakfast for 5 of us. Lovely smoothies, excellent coffee, veggie and vegan options. Good friendly service. We sat inside as too busy outside, and it was nice and cool with decent music. Highly recommend.

Stopped here for an early breakfast before going shopping. Not only were the breakfast panini’s fresh and tasty, the service was absolutely fantastic. The guy that served us was lovely and was a nice change to have some friendly service so early in the morning!...

Coffee here is so good. So glad we found this gem before we left Notts. Servers are all so friendly, and the food is delicious! Nothing is too much trouble, it was the best breakfast of the week! Highly recommended a visit, even if it's...

This is always my first choice to dine at, whether its just a coffee or a meal. Always good service.

Fox Cafe is a lovely place to eat, the food is great, the service is quick and the staff are very friendly! will definitely be coming here again!

Staff made a lot of effort to find us a seat quick, so friendly, such good service and paninis are delicious! Deffo worth going to

Fox Cafe has become one of my favourite cafe places in Nottingham due to the amazing service and food I've had when I always go. During my recent visit it's become pretty clear why it's rated so highly and it's always a pleasure to have...

I was sat quickly but not asked for a drink order then 15 minutes quickly went by without being me served so I decided to leave. Writing this from a different resurant where I've already been sat and served within 5 mins of leaving.

Went for late breakfast and had the full English. At over £10 I was expecting good quality produce. The sausages were cheap supermarket quality and the streaky bacon had more fat that anything else. The hash brown was no better than at McDonalds. We had...

Really delicious food, quick service and right in the city centre. Great to pop in during shopping. Staff were really talkative and smiley. Highly recommend.

Today we ended up here for a welcome break from some retail therapy. It was a chilly day and rain was predicted but we took a chance. Whilst we were giving our order the rain started, so umbrellas were very quickly provided and our server...

Paninis were good, but £10 for a sandwich with crisps (£3 extra for a handful of crisps) is expensive. Good service !

Super cute cafe in a central location! I had the veggie breakfast and my boyfriend had the foxy breakfast (meat) and it was absolutely delicious. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough!
