Mortimer Cafe in West Berkshire

Excellent food, brilliant service and very good value for money. It was my first visit today and will definitely go back

The original Mortimer cafe is the classic greasy spoon, in a good way. The new one opposite the Co-op is a step up, with a great range of fresh food, charming service and good opening hours. A bit more pricey, but worth it. Best flat white for miles, too.

Surprised to find a cafe of this sort in Mortimer. Has the feel of a classic transport cafe or an urban, people’s cafe. But it looked my kind of place, so I made a point of trying breakfast there before a walk. A biggish cafe inside, but I sat outside at a table. Numerous different combinations of a fried breakfast on offer. I chose one with scrambled eggs and--a rare delight these days--fried bread. Also a big tomato nicely charred from the grill, good bacon, a large portion of mushrooms, baked beans, etc. Just what I needed to fuel my hike over to Silchester and beyond. Came up quickly, served hot. They had at least 6 staff on, so this is a serious cafe. The staff were outstanding. One lady chatted to me in a friendly manner, and it seemed natural, not going through the motions. Made my day. One lad came out to see if I was being served. I was; but that he had the awareness to notice me out front and check was impressive. Like everything about Mortimer Cafe, he was on the ball. For a weekday, this cafe was pretty busy. To me that shows it must’ve earned a good reputation.

Thankfully there are lots of tables, as the cafe was busy, but our drinks arrived within a minute or 2 and our food just 5 minutes later, including a big breakfast, which filled the plate. I thoroughly recommend the cafe and we'll definitely go again when in the area.

We went today for a late breakfast, we have been here quite a few time in the past. The food was good but not as good as usual there was a younger lad cooking maybe that's why, my sausage was slightly under and the eggs on the hard side. An off day as we have never had this happen before. we will return again and hope it's back to normal next time.

Loved my bacon & eggs however confusing that there didn't appear to be any fresh cakes for my friend who wanted coffee and cake, something like a Victoria sponge, carrot cake and a vegan/gluten free option as well as maybe a flapjack would go down a treat!

Although the food and service was very good,i cannot get over the fact that egg and beans on toast with a coffee cost £8.40. If you plan to come here,you may want to speak to a mortgage advisor.

1 step small up into this larger than expected café. simple menu , easy to read. open kitchen for all to see. outside seating .

Mix of choices quite large very busy on a lunchtime in November. Reasonable choice of food. Sandwiches, jacket potatoes. Fish and chips etc.

Dropped in due to the fact we couldn’t get a decent tea in the nearby hotel. Had two perfect teas and some nice service. Lovely.

Very clean very friendly Fast service good coffee great price We meet friends & family here often It’s a lovely cafe

Regularly visit here for a breakfast with my biker friends and it is very good. Excellent service, nice and quick and superb quality food at a good price. Certainly one of my favourite cafes. Highly recommend a visit.

I visited the café this morning quite amazing how great the service was really went expecting. I even spilt my hot chocolate and the nearly cleared it up a fresh one. I’m really looked afte I visited the café this morning quite amazing how great the service was really win expected. I even spilt my hot chocolate and the neatly cleared up a fresh one. They really looked after me and couldn’t do enough to help. Food was great and I will be visiting again. 5 star service.

We visited with two grandchildren for breakfast. Fast, friendly service and outstanding English breakfast enjoyed by all. Highly recommended.

Nice breakfast to start the day off with. Got a table easily and attended to in a reasonable amount of time. Once order was taken the food came out quickly and was a good breakfast

They do great breakfasts, which is why they have full tables early on a weekend and during the week, lunches too, when white vans are parked outside! Good value: simple stuff done well. Drinks are OK... a bit meh, coffee, tea and hot chocolate all a bit corporate, if you know what I mean...

Such a friendly cafe with loads of chatty customers. Food is excellent. This place is a great place for breakfast or brunch. Love it.

We go to the cafe a lot in our village and every time we go, and we are served by this certain waitress (name unknown) she fails to understand what we are saying half the time and she doesn’t speak great English, and today my partner repeated what he wanted 4 times and was still worried the order would come back to him wrong, which it did. He asked for no eggs no hash brown and sausage and it came with all of it. It is also getting unbearably hot in that cafe each time we go there

Have eaten at the Mortimer cafe before and always been happy with the quality and price of the food. This last visit was with a group of nearly 20 friends. We arrived all at the same time and they managed to take orders and get our breakfasts to us in no time at all. Several of the group made a point of saying that they would use the cafe again.

Often ordering baguettes and hot food to take away. Great service and friendly staff. Food is always fresh and tasty.

Went to the cafe with sister and niece. Wide choice of breakfast. I had the full English, it was lovely but I could not eat it all. My sister had a bacon and egg baguette which she enjoyed. My niece had bacon and mushrooms . All were freshly cooked to order . A great start to the day will happily return.

Had family stayover and went to Mortimer Cafe for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The place was very busy with local tradespeople and families which is great to see! The full English breakfast was very good and service was efficient and was great value for money. Will be back for sure!

Never a bad meal here. Nice staff. Tea/coffee nice and hot. Good opening times. Parking is a bit dodgy but no major problems

Went to Mortimer Café this morning for a breakfast as me and my partner have done so every few weeks for the last year or so. Every time we’re greeted with a smile, our order is taken quickly, the food is served promptly and it is fresh and hot! Perfect. Would highly recommend!

Clearly popular with some of the locals but bad coffee, very basic caf’ food and absolutely no style.

Had an all day breakfast which was nice and hot, with good and helpful service. There was a good selection of lunch and breakfasts to choose from.

The food here is great and also for a great price. To take away is quick, and the staff are very friendly. After 20 years in Mortimer I can't believe it's only the last year I started going here!

This has become our go-to cafe for a great all day breakfast. We don't live in the village so drive over just to eat there. The staff are great, the place is lovely and clean, the prices are reasonable for the size of the food. We have asked for the occasional tweak and they've accommodated us wonderfully. If you're hungry and are near the lovely village of Mortimer then pop in. You won't be disappointed!

Every time I have visited this wonderful village cafe in Mortimer I have been greeted with friendly staff and seated promptly. The cafe is spotless and buzzing with activity from the open plan kitchen and chefs to the staff and customers enjoying a weekend catch up over fresh coffee and great food. The food is cooked fresh and fast, piping hot and of very quality.. I love this place fantastic value for money with a wide range of choices on the menu!

Fabulous food, good value for money would recommend this place.... a variety on the menu to meet all tastes. Friendly staff

I don't often make my way to this part of the world but when I do, I try to make enough time to visit here, even if it's just for a coffee.

We visited Mortimer Cafe by chance as we drove through the pretty, picturesque village.

A cafe in the middle of the village... Looks ok, but any time I have a meal there get a food poisoning each time, so I do go have a cup of coffee only. Not sure if that is the oil they use or hygiene..., but something is not right there.

after a visit to an excellent hardware store (an Aladdin cave sort of place) and it be noon, we fancied a snack, so after attempting to park around the back, we gave up and parked on the street outside plenty of space. There was some tables and chairs outside, but we fancied the cool of inside. it was busy (always a good sign) although a tad noisy, there was a free table so we sat at it, had a look at the menu, and a waitress approached, ordered coffees, as we hadn't decided on the food yet, Ordered a prawn baguette and a chicken sandwich. My baguette was tasty, as for the sandwich, I didn't get a look in, must have been good.

Great breakfast, reasonable price, full breakfast Saturday, bacon baguette Sunday. Very tasty and cheaper than DeVere hotel.

Been going here for years. Know the guy running it and the staff are really nice. I occasionally go in here to get myself a takeaway burger for lunch. The service is unbelievably quick and the burgers are probably my favourite burgers I've ever had.

I have to say that Mortimer Cafe is the best cafe for breakfast in Berkshire! It's incredibly clean, attentive and smiley staff, average priced fresh food..

Don't need to write much for this one as we stop at this cafe every weekend on our local cycle routes. The guys here are really friendly and the bacon n egg butty is worth it.

Good food and reasonable prices. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is cooked fresh, with a choice of all different breakfasts and lots besides. Staff are very friendly, definitely recommend.

Excellent service, excellent food, all at excellent prices. Will be a regular. Definitely worth a trip.

Plain flour white bap with crisps for £3 ish. It's above roadside van fare but it's warm and easy for parking so a fair price for what you get.

I could have sworn I reviewed this place earlier in the year but I can't find it and it probably deserves another one anyway. This is a lovely village cafe in rural Berkshire. It is run by a Turkish(?) family but serves straight-down the line British food, in particular all-day breakfasts. It looks small form the outside but actually seats 54 by my count in bright, airy and spotlessly-clean premises (local authority rating 5/5). Decor is plain but characterful, kitted out with solid, wooden furniture. There is a small car-park around the back. Waiters/waitresses are diligent, attentive, polite and efficient - no long waits but all freshly-cooked food.

Me and the wife enjoy a trip to Mortimer Cafe as a weekend morning treat fairly regularly. Food is always nice, hot and well cooked. Staff friendly. Friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.

Quick brekkie before son's footy game. Service was quick, polite, efficient. Excellent veggie and mega breakfast- struggled to finish!

We visited for lunch during the Mortimer scarecrow hunt this October half term.

This place is called Mortimer Cafe but no matter how many times I tell them TripAdvisor will not change it!

As the title suggests this is known as Mortimer Cafe NOT Bakery Cafe.

Lovely place and location to have breakfast or lunch. We've been here twice and have had both breakfast and lunch. Food delicious and service efficient and friendly. Would recommend a visit.

Visited on bank holiday Sunday.

The Mortimer cafe doesn't pretend to be what it isn't. It essentially is a greasy spoon but the environment is clean and friendly. In the local area there is limited choices for breakfast (Wellington Farm shop my usual) but I find their breakfasts quite limited for a full fry up.

Good local cafe for a hearty breakfast or lunch. The premises used to be a bakery back in the day but is now only a cafe. They have the daily papers to read and do accept credit /debit cards.

Whether you want to eat in or get take out this is a nice cue place in the heart of Mortimer.

The breakfasts look wonderful, but the coffee is weak and pricey at £2.15 considering it comes from a push-button machine. Despite the name, it is NOT a bakery and there seemed to be few baked goodies available.

Working locally, I tend to use the bakery cafe on a regular basis. Service is friendly and fast, ideal for quick lunch stops and the food is always good. Sausages could be of better quality, sounds picky but a good sausage costs very little more than a bad sausage. All in all, well worth a visit for good value hot food.

Food is very good and service and price is good too, only downside is parking is restricted during busy times

Great for a fry up option (so I'm told) but a shame that there is nothing else on offer for those not wanting a greasy option aside from a tea cake or toast. Danish pastry appears on the menu but to have yet to have one... I shall keep asking!

Nice "greasy spoon", good food, recently fully refurbished, good service, reasonable prices. Some parking. Not sure if they take cards, so bring cash.

Typical village cafe, tablecloths,salt and pepper shakers on tables and photographs of Mortimer on the walls.Good choice of hot and cold food for instance English breakfast, chips and sandwiches. Hot and cold drinks are also served for instance coke, Lipton ice tea and coffee. Good value for money and satisfactory quality of food. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. suitable for all ages and many villagers who go there.

looking around our local area for breakfast as a bit of a treat, saves cooking. A popular venue with the locals, atmosphere friendly, we sat by the window, so wasn't the warmest place in January. Good selection of food, breakfast freshly cooked. Worth another visit
