The Corner Cafe in Erewash - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Took me right back to my youth.... Proper old fashioned (in the nicest way) café. Very busy with the older generation, the staff knew nearly everyone by name, it was lovely to see 🤩

Fantastic place, when I am over that way, I always pop in

First I used the cafe as a boy, not a boy now but an old man. Love to revisit this cafe when I am in Ilkeston. Good food at good prices.

I recently visited here after walking past many times, this time attending with my daughter. On entering, it was clear to see it was a popular place with the locals. After a short wait we found a table conveniently right next to the fish tank, which entertained my daughter looking at the fish. I decided to go for the large breakfast & separate options for my daughters breakfast, (as seen in the photos). Everything arrived pretty quickly, with it all being presented well. I would personally improve the sausage quality, as they didn’t taste great, but other than this, I have no other complaints. The staff clearly loved working, always talking with the customers, with it having a very homely feel to the place. I’m sure I will visit here again at some point in the future.

Best food for miles loved it. Was recommended by my friend . Loads of choice.

Great place to go and eat. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I've been there a few times and enjoyed it every time. Food is nice and hot.

Good traditional cafe. Perfect breakfast, lovely friendly staff. First visit and made to feel welcome. Fantastic value for money. Would definitely return

Amazing place in a wonderful old, historical building within Ilson! Good food, great staff and good prices too.

Go in there 2 or 3 times a week and I have the same a sausage and bacon cob and a sausage bacon and egg cob and every time it's perfect bacon is nice and thick sausage are nice no fat on them cobs are nice and fresh and when I say this it's not in a bad way but it's a good old old fashion cafe clean bright warming will carry on going there best cafe in ilkeston

Reall nice old school cafe - excellent cooked breakfast at reasonable price, I wish it had been lunchtime so i could have tried the home made pies, friendly service, coffee not the best but apart from that, great place!

A wonderful little cafe, the oldest traditional cafe in ilkeston and I can see why, friendly staff, lovely cosy atmosphere, absolute bargain prices but most of all the food was delicious. This was my first visit but it definitely won't be my last.

Nice atmosphere. Spotless premises. Tasty food. Sensible prices. Well worth a visit....

Very nice little cafe polite staff and good grub what more does 1 need

Good fresh cooked food at a reasonable price .

Fantastic local cafe. Eat here often. The big breakfast is to die for. Very friendly staff. Seems to be heart of the community for alot of people.

Cafe was about to close but were more than accommodating to us choosing to stay open and provide food even though kitchen had closed. Very friendly staff/owners, who provided information on the long history of the building/cafe from the late 1800's. Look forward to next visit.

Lovely food and staff, nice environment, great prices 👍

After a few year's hiatus from visiting the Corner Cafe I was so pleased to return to find it has lost none of its charm or character. Nor the ability to knock out piping hot lovely spoon food at very reasonable prices and all served with friendly smile. Outstanding stuff, a true gem.

Excellent coffee. Great old fashioned cafe.

I love this place it's like stepping back in time but in a good way. A must if you are in Ilkeston we have to keep places like this going. It's what's Britain is.

Amazing food great hospitality would definitely recommend highly!

Love this little cafe, we go in every time we are up town, lovely staff

Nice little cafe, friendly atmosphere. Good price for a proper mug of coffee.

Very much your traditional town cafe, nothing special to be honest, however it has been open for, I believe, 30+ years, so they must be doing something right.

The staff were friendly and helpful

Love this cafe very friendly and lovely service and wonderful breakfasts my favourite place when I visit Ilkeston

Lovely cafe, everytime myself and my wife come to Ilkeston we always come here. Great prices, amazing staff, hot coffee and a really good family styrl atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great food and drink. This is a one stop shop for all things. Pop in have a brew and have a look.

Very popular place for meeting friends. Good food at a very reasonable price.

Food excellent. Staff a bit grumpy

Best brew of tea in all of ilkeston and the food is fantastic n full of flavour...

Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff A good place to meet your friends for coffee and a chat. You don't get harassed to leave once you've drunk up which some cafes do

The staff were friendly, helpful and accomodating, nothing was too much trouble. Good home cooking

Love this quaint little cafe though small in size it's very welcoming & the food is hot fresh & great quality for a very reasonable price. The interior is very random with lots of little bits for sale I spotted signs for both photocopying & knife sharpening services alongside a fish tank, it's a bit open all hours style higgledy-piggledy but its got real character I hope the owners never change it, Had highchairs available for smaller children too

Excellent food and service really friendly

Nice and friendly place for a chip cod and a coffee

A little small but this is made up for by the food that is served there. How they can produce great food for these prices are astonishing. Staff are friendly and helpful

Good food, good price. Friendly staff.

Brian serves good home made meals & has always got time for a natter .
