Smorgasbord Coffee Bar in Bradford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great spot in Bradford for lunch

The full English breakfast is far too pricey for the portion. One egg and one piece of toast! Small spoon full of mushrooms and a tiny tangy tomato relish which wasnt right for the breakfast and not eaten, with two sausages and hash browns. The sausages though tasted nice are too spicy for an English breakfast its like eating a kebab with a cup of tea. Kids got sausage and chips, chips were a everage but portion was ok. Tables are too small had to condense my plates served so they could fit, extra plates were not removed so i had to use a shelf close to me to put them on just so we could eat. I tided these away at the end myself. On this occasion service was prompt, in the past during busy periods weve been left waiting but was better today. There were several dirty tables when we went in and there was nobody waiting should be cleaned quicker.

Used to be very good but recently they have really fallen off and its value for money anymore. Be ready to spend at least £30 for 2 people.

Always happy ,with this place, brilliant service

Very nice food, nice atmosphere. Serves with a smile.

Not value for your money. You don’t get a hot drink with it. You get ONE single piece of toast. For the price you pay it’s not worth it. I would rather stick to somewhere like Mughals where you get everything, and two pieces of toast and hot drink included for less than £10

My first visit here and Hajara was so accommodating . I will be returning next time I’m in the area

Amazing service by Hajara very lovely and great food

Super friendly staff who were very accommodating, delicious food at excellent values, clean venue.

Lovely place! The music was really nice and the service was really quick. The person who took our order was lovely and made sure that we were happy with our food in a non-rushed manner even though it was busy. Would definitely go again soon !!

Visited this place today the breakfast was nice but I think it a bit pricey considering the portion and where we are also can I make a suggestion don't charge for table condiments it a real put off otherwise it was nice

I am a visitor from the united states. The employees were very sweet and helpful to me. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was nice i didn’t feel like an outsider in here!!

I was on the terrace and it was great. The drinks are very delicious and the variety of food is very delicious. I recommend the sandwiches. Quick and attentive service

Quite expensive for english breakfast and only served 1 toast with it

Really nice coffee and hot drinks. Would highly recommend coming here for Breakfast/brunch.

I had an amazing experience! The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious-every bite was perfect. Highly recommend!

As someone who prefers a quiet and private place to catch up with friends or family... smogarsboard ticks all the boxes for me. Amazing food, respectable and approachable staff, clean overall and I've basically lost count of how many times I've been here. Will acc be going here with a friend today In Shaa Allah x My only regret is that I've not been leaving reviews after every visit xx but I will be doing so in future In Shaa Allah. My usual favourite is the veggie breakfast with either Hot chocolate (with cream ofc!) Or Berry smoothie omgg soo good 💌🤍

Easily the best spot in Bradford to have a full english! Fresh ingredients, piping hot food, amazing prices. Love how they haven’t turned a classic full english into something full of Masala as many places do in Bradford now. Simple & good comfort food. Service is quick, friendly & helpful! My go too breakfast spot in bradford. Always consistent & delicious!

If you're looking for a lunch spot that never disappoints, look no further. The food here is consistently delicious, with every dish hitting the mark every single time. Not only is the quality of the food remarkable, but the prices have remained steady, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying meal. A special shoutout goes to Hajara, who recently went above and beyond to make us a coffee after our meal, even though the coffee bar was closed. Her friendly service was heartwarming. We do miss Waqas, who was our go-to guy, always remembering our order. Going South and lamb shish with Cheesy chilli chips. Nonetheless, the overall experience remains exceptional.

amazing staff, so precious and catering to us. ☺️

My first time going there. I enjoyed it. Food was nice staff was lovely. A* service. Would deffo go again!

came with my friends yesterday staff were amazing and looked after us well hajra took our order and made sure everything was okay , came many times and will continue coming as food and customer service is always amazing every time thank you

best place for coffee and breakfast, excellent service from a young boy at the order point, with your meal served within the next 10 minutes. Great service overall!

10/10 , I recently tried the duobite burger they added to the menu, they were amazing and really filling. The portion size was great. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful breakfast experience at Smorgasbord Coffee Bar - The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with charming rustic decor and plenty of natural light. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall 10/10 ,a fantastic spot for breakfast – I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning,

Spoken to a really nice staff member called Hajra, make me feel really comfortable and always has a smile when I come in. Very nice place overall.

The food was absolutely amazing, but not as good as the customer service! Thank you so much to Hajra for recommending the delicious ice cream and for the rest of the staff who really made our experience! Would definitely recommend!

AVOID! HAIR IN FOOD! Edit: Firstly it was most certainly hair in the food which we showed the waitress Secondly she said she would make a new one. She came back with the same one and lied about it - we had a photo to prove it Thirdly I was offered a refund which I never received Overall the despicable experience has now made us find an alternative place. We used to come here with family and friends. Never again! 20 quid down the drain, lying waitress, no refund and telling us its not hair when it so clearly was. Original: Used to be our go to for brunch. Never again. Panini came complete with a dark black hair inside the cheese and the waitress with the glasses said she'd make another. She brought back the exact same one less than 2 minutes later. We had actually taken a photo of it beforehand so there was no disputing that it was the same panini. Lied straight to our faces. Went to the speak to a manager who was not available. Should have been refunded for the disgusting service and food but instead were given two measly drinks. NEVER AGAIN!

Had an amazing experience because of the top class service from waqas. Really enjoyed the food aswell. This guy deserves a raise😊

10/10 - no faults. 100% recommend!

Reasonable prices, good food and a clean and comfortable atmosphere. Recommended.

Extortion prices, every few months the prices get higher and the portions get smaller.

They do a delicious breakfast - I come here a lot and bring my family too. The beans were a bit off this time unfortunately. Its not cheap so I'd like a perfect platter. Waiter seemed a little put out when I asked for ketchup and salt. Downstairs a bit of a mess. If you do go, try the full English breakfast, the sausages are delicious 😋

Nice ambient spot pleasant service ..I ordered a tuna melt unfortunately microwaved so roll soggy filling tasty but not much of it ...so unfortunately disappointed..!! Tea just a tea bag in small / medium or large so just paying for the size of a cup and the water ..this is cheeky !! ..shame 😞 was excited by the reviews ...but sadly for 10 quid ..not value for money or taste ...

10/10. English breakfasts are fantastic. The sehri special paratha, chickpeas & shammi bun kebab was outstanding. Keep the bun kebab on the full menu, as it would be an amazing addition to the great food you serve.

Amazing food. the owner and staff are fantastic

Really good quality food and great customer service. Especially the owner explained everything and the waiter was really polite and helpful. Defo will be back.

Amazing food, better customer service

We were staying in Bradford and came across this lovely place and the owner is so friendly. He looked after us personally every time we came in and the food was amazing.

Best place in Bradford! Incredible service, great food and great coffee!

Friendliest coffe shop in town. You will not regret it! Food is great and service is even better

A gem in Bradford 😊 The service is impeccable. The owner is great and the food is amazing. A must visit!

Been going here for years consistently good food and well priced for city centre location. Tasty and fresh food could do with extra toast slice on the breakfasts but apart from that can’t fault them.

Really loved the food, fresh and tasted amazing as always. Our server Waqas was really lovely and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend! 💛

The nicest owner, such a lovely place

My husband and I love coming here, the food is always amazing and the staff always go above and beyond, however today there was an uncle who ma'sha'allah was so sweet and funny, made the experience so much better, we love coming here ❤️

Order 2 jacket potato’s on Thursday staff is absolutely clue less. Asked for salad. They said we don’t do salad. I said how can you be selling jacket Potato's with no salads. Then the own comes out, oh yes we do salad but you have to pay for it. Well no!! Did I say I want it free. Then had to wait 10 mins just to get a box of salad. Rude staff very unprofessional. Avoid this place. Will be going to berries on great Horton road from now on. Much better potatos & good service.

Favourite places for breakfast, went this morning and something was different, sausages tasted different so did the beans, anyway ended up with a huge stomach ache, so if you have changed suppliers I suggest you change back huge disappointment today

Been visiting Smorgasbord since it first opened. Love the welcoming staff, the location, and especially the addictive cheesy chilli chips 😁🩷

An absolute gem in Bradford town. The town has really gone down with so many shops shutting down. However an amazing place to relax and catch up with friends and family. The drinks and cakes are excellent.

Service is great. Really polite homely feel. Food us great aswell. Love having the breakfast hear full of flavour

I love this place. I come with friends and the staff are so friendly and serve well. The food is so good and cooked well.

Service is 10/10 as usual new burgers also on menu recommended by the bossman himself spot on👌🏻

Staff were welcoming and provided good service and good food

Loved the food; amazing atmosphere & lovely staff, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here & will defiantly be coming back ❤️

Amazing food, all round great place for breakfast or a nice bite to eat

Delicious food honestly I start craving it the second I'm done, and the workers are so nice and welcoming it's a great vibe x

Such kind staff, and DELICIOUS food, stays a great spot

I have always loved having breakfast here! The staff are lovely and the English breakfast is lush😋😋I tried the new basil bite chips and OMG mouthwatering 🤤🤤 I was trying to figure out the secret ingredient haha 😩

Amazing service and very friendly, approachable staff. Food was very nice

Food never disappoints and service was amazing from both Ayla and Waqas

Wow! What a great place. Immediately given a warm welcome and presented with a recommendation and the new menu items. The food was delicious and piping hot. Generous portions too. The basil chips were the best chips I have ever had. The burger was amazing and my wife loved the mushroom pasta. Despite not being hungry she ate it all! Will be back.

Excellent breakfast well priced and enjoyable.

I ordered the Lamb Shish for myself and 3 of my work colleagues. I was very disappointed as it really wasn't worth £7.75p . The size was disappointing and it just didn't seem filling and worth the price

Foods always on point, especially the new duobite burger! The staff are always friendly and polite and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Used to be good! Standards have dropped recently.

The breakfast itself was very nice but i must say VERY small portions. If you are hungry you would need to order more as in possibly double everything. I generally dont have a massive appetite but i would say for what you pay i would expect more….

Amazing place best all the food is yummy 😋 would defos recommend.👍🏻👍🏻

Great customer service from everyone, food service was prompt.

Local spot! Always go down for the full English or the lamb sheesh.. never a bad experience! Alhamdulilah

Excellent service, delicious food, and wonderful personable atmosphere. We really enjoy coming here with the family as everyone is so kind and generous :)

This is a very nice place 👌extremely good food

10/10 amazing food, drinks and deserts! . Lovely staff. Came from Manchester well worth the journey! 💯🔥

Visiting Bradford from Birmingham came across this place. Absolutely fantastic service! What lovely and professional staff and very clean which is an added bonus!! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely delighted! Lively atmosphere and welcoming gestures enlightened with mouth watering food, made this experience delightful. We were assisted by a brother who upheld great respect and generosity. Interesting conversations made about origins of the bar and his life back home, he made us feel like at home. Thank you, will be eating in again.

Lovely breakfast. Worth a diversion.

First time coming here. Entering in, we could pick anywhere to sit down but one of the lovely waitresses offered us more private seating downstairs as the ground floor - outside public can look in easily as its all windows. If you’re coming with family, downstairs is perfect. Ordered the famous full english breakfast with extra rashers which were 95p each but definitely worth it. Amazing flavour. Includes a slice of toast with butter, 2 hash browns, sausages, mushrooms (absolutely delicious especially if you like mushrooms), fried egg, baked beans and a small pot of tomato sauce/salsa. Overall was a brilliant meal, wouldve been better if there was 2 slices of bread but fine. Also got the ambros belly buster sandwich which was filling. Unfortunately, it just seemed to lack a little flavour, salt, spices in general. The caramelised onions inside were perfectly cooked and sweet but wouldve been a great combo if some spices were added. Nevertheless, it was filling. Caramel macchiato was very nice. Theyve got their menu online with all pricing. Everything is Halal. No alcohol sold on the premises. Will be coming again to add more to this review and try out their pastas, jacket potatoes, pizza dishes!

One of the best full English breakfasts I’ve had in Bradford. Customer service is 10/10. Would definitely recommend.

Editing my review from 5 years ago from good to this, arrived with Mrs and my 9 months old, 4 different staff members kept telling us to put the pram in different places so we got a bit annoyed and requested to the man behind the counter that decide between everyone where to put it and he was a joke of a human being to start with, horrible demeanor. Started getting rude. We left without eating. Was once a a great place that gave a you know.. now a donkey running the show while owners sit around. What a shame.

All the staff are so kind and attentive and the food was lovely! One of the best full English breakfasts I’ve had in a while, I would definitely recommend :)

Always on point, never disappoints!

Food was delicious and the customer service was phenomenal. Hajra went above and beyond for us, such a gem and a perfect example of what someone’s attitude should be like on the front of the till. 5 stars for everything! Will be back soon!

Flatbread Pizzas and chips were really nice. Excellent service.also tried the gelato ice cream and was really impressed. Rich in flavour and quality. Lovely staff and good customer service. Special mention to Aaila for the treatment of my young daughter.

I was really excited to try Smorgasbord but I was highly disappointed. The Down South chicken sandwich was absolutely awful. The chicken was very chickeny and had no flavour - I actually couldn't eat it. When I told a staff member, she just shrugged her shoulders, apologised and walked away. The staff member at the till when I was ordering was really nice. The steak and onion was nice but very spicy. Coffee wasn't great either. Toilets were also out of order. I won't be going back, food wasn't worth it whatsoever - especially in Bradford!

The full English leaves you wanting more, the hash browns on everyone's plate was on the burned side and size of the mushroom portion was tiny. Still a nice place, clean and popular. If the price of the full English is 2 pounds lower than maybe it would make up for it.

Excellent service,nice presentation of food,and 10/10 for the food,would recommend to my friends n family,will be going again

First visit. Just had a flavoured coffee. Was very tasty. Only complaint was that it took 15 minutes to arrive at my table. As only time I've been, I'm not sure if I just came at a busy time. Would still recommend though.

I ordered a veggie breakfast with fresh orange juice which I was REALLY looking forward to as I didn’t have breakfast yet. I took some sips of my orange juice and then noticed some ‘pips’ floating around which were shaped different to the rest. So I took a good look and saw a fly 🪰 like pip so I used my straw to stir it up to get a better look and it ended up being a tiny fly 🪰 in my fresh orange juice! I got up and handed it in at the desk as there were no available staff around me. They made me a new drink, also a fresh orange juice as I thought I would give the drink a second try and I decided to wait at the desk for it this time so I could check the drink myself. Again I saw pips and fly-ish 🪰 like things floating and I pointed out that it was possibly a fly 🪰 but the senior waitress said that’s just the pip from the orange so I took it with me and sat down at my table. While at the desk the senior waitress also mentioned that their orange juice machine attracts flies. I found YET ANOTHER fly 🪰 and handed it in to the desk. I chose apple juice which came from a carton this time. Absolutely disgusting place and more care needs to be put in place and staff trained better as they have been serving flies to innocent customers and quite possibly even children! This place needs to purchase a new orange Juice machine because I they haven’t stopped using this machine so have been serving fresh flies 🪰 with their fresh orange juice. I haven’t been in here for years and was hoping for a better experience and after this I will NOT BE BACK until I know they have gotten a new orange juice machine or have stopped serving this drink altogether on their menu. Maybe carton orange juice might be the better option? People please check your fresh orange juice before drinking it as the machine attracts flies 🪰 and they can’t do anything about it but THEY WILL continue serving it to you. Wish I had taken pics now but I was feeling so unwell and down; just wanted to eat something to increase my glucose level and get the hell out of there! They did apologise and at the time I forgave them but I realise now it isn’t fair on any naive customers that hope to eat a great meal with a fresh orange juice in the side. STAY AWAY FROM THE FRESH ORANGE JUICE!

Food was nice, I ordered quiche chips salad, not chips with a tiny quiche and tiny salad, cost me £12 with a cup of tea. You are giving less for your money. "Who said less is more"! Also ordered breakfast. 1 egg 1 toast. 2 small # browns Beans. Also around £12 pound with tea. Portions really not worth the price. Stop being stingy . Was alot better in the earlier days.

The food was amazing including the ice cream that reminded us of Cornwall. Great customer service especially from Hajara and overall and excellent experience.

Very polite staff! Food is fresh and HALAL and affordable!! Cafe is clean. 100% will be back when i come back to bradford. 5 star.

Great food, great atmosphere. Will be back.

Very disrespectful workers. Attitude displayed. Refrain. Usually give benefit of doubt, but not a good experience

Quality food but the customer service was 10/10, great guys and made the atmosphere pleasant will definitely be returning.

Great location with a lovely terrace. Good menu. We really enjoyed the salads and the smoothies. Nice and friendly staff! Not to be missed when in Bradford.

Called in for a Friday lunchtime treat and it was a treat. Steak sandwich in a ciabatta, cooked to perfection and piping hot. Definitely worth a revisit next time I am in town.

Fantastic food. I would really recommend the full English, fresh orange juice, as well as the jacket potatoes. Not the cheapest, but it's well worth the price.

Lacking in Atmosphere & food expensive for what you get

Delicious foods for chicken pizza 🍕😋.

Love English Breakfast with fresh Orange juice
