The Elms Cafe in Melton

I had a bacon & fresh tomatoes cob. Nicely done. Sue had toasties with salad. Complimented by a strong pot of tea. Lovely experience. We were invited to sit in the garden area at rear of cafe. Very clean & private. Friendly staff & we were made very welcome. Thank you.

wonderful welcome didn't rush us for anything ordered our meal was cooked quickly ,,tasty ,though i like my eggs cooked sunny side down ,,it was perfect will definutly call in again

popped in for the first for breakfast what good service and the meal was freshly cooked good portion and hot cafe was very clean and tidy staff very friendly and helpful would use again.

Superb cafe superb breakfast with friendly staff , brilliant really enjoyed our food and service we will be visiting again

What a find, comfortable and friendly, 2 very friendly and helpful ladies and really nice food quickly prepared and served. Had heard that there were 3 ladies but when asked where the 3rd was got told that it wasn't the chefs day for dresses so maybe next time. Will visit again on our next motorcycle trip to Wales

Really lovely cafe. Fabulous cooked breakfasts. And wonderful ladies with gorgeous smiles running it.

If you're looking for a great quality breakfast then there isn't better value for money in the area anywhere. Quality products at great prices. Thumbs up all the way

When I go out for breakfast this is my first choice. Great food cooked as I like it, with good customer services.

I heard it had been taken over so we went to check it out. we was not disappointed. It has had a fresh lick of paint, it now feels so much more fresh light and airy. the new owners were very polite and welcoming. the food was good before but it is better now. The menu has been shortened but that is not a bad thing. The previous owners were quite regimental were the new owners made you feel as though you was part of the family. they couldn't do enough for you. it is defo worth a visit we will defo be back.

Been here many times always great food, friendly owners and staff,they now offer different choice of sausages,it is a real cafe so You two had better keep it up,yes its me the one in the sling.THE BEST CAFE IN TOWN THANKS.

We decided to try the Elms because we'd seen it has new owners and wondered if things had changed. They have, but not in a bad way, at least as far as breakfast is concerned. The interior has changed, with new tables and chairs and no tablecloths. Nice and fresh-looking, no complaints there. I had the feeling that there may be a slightly reduced capacity, but that might just be the way the tables are arranged. The place was full, but it was a Saturday morning and that's to be expected. The breakfast choice is good, the 'big' breakfast coming with toast/bread and tea/coffee included. We added black pudding and ended up with a sizeable portion for a good price. The food was well cooked and the ingredients reasonable quality (though like a previous reviewer, I found the sausages rather disappointing). Overall, we had a decent breakfast and will be returning.

We always stop here when shopping.The breakfast is usually good.The place has new owners .They are pleasant but ,in my opinion the sausages were not as good.

Called in here for a breakfast cob (local expression for bread roll!) before a meeting in Melton. Previous reviews drew me to the place and I was not disappointed with the sausage cob served with a filter coffee for just £ 3. However I sense that in a town with quite a lot of coffee shops and other eating places it will need to work hard to create and hold its position.

We were looking for something quick and filling on a busyish Saturday lunch time.The Elms has is handy right now and there are a couple of tables empty.On entering we are met by a charming lady who we are informed has bought the place.The cafe now is brighter and the carpets have been replaced with nice flooring,as have the tables.No more table cloths ,only nice clean tables.Our orders were taken by the owner Lisa who is warm and welcoming and has time for a chat too.We both ordered a breakfast which was ready in no time at all,good ingredients and plenty of it,all nice and hot too. Well priced men, a good pot of tea and a relaxed atmosphere,everything I enjoy.We will definitely be returning often now it is in new hands.Good luck Lisa and well done,many thanks for a lovely breakfast.

We always stop here for breakfast before shopping.This place will never let you down.All food cooked fresh and sooo tasty

Always a clean and tidy little cafe, breakfast and lunches are always of a good portion and filling, lovely warm welcome everytime you walk through the door.

I often use the Elms cafe when in town,the Full English is a good plate full of good quality food.This meal set me up for the rest of the day.The owner is always friendly and knows most of her customers as the eat here regularly.Always a good pot of tea as well.

Amazing place to eat.. always go on a Monday lunch time with the girls at college lovely food and reasonably priced.. the lady on front of house is amazing 🙏🏼 so friendly and helpful

The breakfast is the only time I use the cafe but I'm sure the other meals are bound to be good. My favourite place for breakfast!

Super urokliwe miejsce ze wspaniałą kuchnią. Absolutnie obowiązkowy punkt programu podczas zwiedzania Melton.

Lunch yesterday - decent all day breakfasts and very friendly staff. Not sure when the last time anyone called me "Young man" was - might need to go to Specsavers! :-)

What a wonderful day to start your Saturday morning shopping staff are very welcoming cafe nice and clean

We went shopping as usual start with breakfast. The Elms is consistent in the food they serve, always fresh and very tasty. The service is so quick and staff cheerful.

as soon as you enter you get a breezy hello from the lady behind the counter, she is very attentitive to every customer, the food is tasty and the prices very reasonable, i think you may struggle to get a wheelchair in there but there...

Es el mejor de Elms cafe en Melton! Una comida increíble, increíble servicio, personal amable y feliz, recomiendo este lugar a todo el mundo si estás buscando algo para comer! !

Fantástico desayuno servido por Lorena. Altamente recomendable. Ambiente fantástico y un gran servicio

Chanced upon this little cafe and what a find, one of the best breakfast had. The staff are very pleasant and service was excellent. It is so good we visit every time we get to Melton.

Really good experiences , very friendly staff , never been let down , great place to go for lunch , breakfast or at any time of the day.

Friendly, helpful service with good food and a great atmosphere, have been regularly ad never been disappointed

Breakfast highly recomended. Great value for money. Friendly stafff. Hearty portions. I like the tablecloths it makes it feel special. Nothings to much trouble.

Made almost too welcome, we are (4) all in our 70's, the owner was a bit over the top with "Yong Man". Sausage not very special at all otherwise breakfast o k. plenty of coffee, nice toast. tables on the small side for 4 people.Would we rush back, probably not. Extremely competitively priced.

If you want good honest food and friendly service, the elms is the place. Tradional breakfast is always good and fresh and very tasty

Popped in yesterday for breakfast. Brilliant service and the breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious - especially the toast. Will definitely visit again! Thank you!

I was having my car MOTed and found this on trip advisor very friendly owners,they offer everything you could wish for for breakfast choice service is quick and efficient and nothing is too much trouble. Food was cooked to perfection and you can pretty much have what you like. Food was delivered quickly and I couldn't fault it. I will definitely be back

Second time here, have to say the service is beyond reproach, the woman is excellent and cannot fault it, prices are very good, coffee is proper and not horrid instant stuff, it's one of the few places I have tried that the fried bread has been done properly and is not a greasy dripping mess, the only criticism is the sausages, they are pretty basic value ones and let the plate full down, however it is a small thing in an otherwise perfect review.

I'm not one to ever write a review but this definitely deserves one ! Went today and had a full English was so nice food cooked perfectly. Friendly atmosphere and very friendly staff was honestly the best breakfast ever will definitely be returning!

another great brekie in the elms....no grease ..pure good fresh food ,,,,great cuppa tea ..service delightful...fast ....price very good ....always a delight to enter this independently run business..

Staff really attentive, and really look after the "older" generation. Our children (when young) used to think it was amazing, Hot Chocolate with Waitress service!!!

Called in with friends on our way from Grantham to Bristol. What a great welcome, very friendly staff. Great breakfast and proper tea.

The blackboard outside says "probably the best breakfast in Melton". For "probably " read "best". Spotlessly clean with lovely friendly service it's no coincidence that most customers have been before. Recommended.

I was dreaming about my breakfast ! It was quickly cooked , hot , thick toast with butter , a nice pot of tea .... great and kept me going all day

We came to shop but always stop here for breakfast first Food hot and freshly made and tastes delicious! The owner nice but not in your facePrices so goodThank you

You cannot walk into the Elms without feeling welcomed! The Elms has such character and is immaculate with decor dating back decades. Amazing value and traditional home cooked food. A perfect couple run this cafe, one out front and one in the kitchen, and you can tell it is their business as they care, and are always on the ball and never fail to be too helpful!

Have visited this place a couple of times. Once just for a toast and coffee and today with our grandchildren for lunch. A very warm welcome each time. A very clean establishment and good Choice of food. Could not help but notice that it has its regular customers which says it all. Noticed the table next to us had Gammon. It was a full plate and for its price, it certainly was good value. Our Grandkids are the best judges of food. It has to be home made and tasty. You would be surprised how many places we have been to and that the simplest thing like chicken nuggets can be so bland. The kids cleared their plates which proved that this is seriously home made food cooked and served in the right way. Would recommend anyone to visit for a plateful of good honest food.

What a change to go somewhere and be warmly greeted when you walk in! Good food sensibly priced. Well worth a visit

Every time we visit Eye Kettleby Lakes we always go to the Elms Brilliant food Brilliant service And I'm glad they now take card payments and not just cash Prices and menu are very good Will be back in 2016 for sure Well done 1st class

Greeted on entry by members of staff. My 2 year old was acknowledged and was immediately brought a high chair. Menu is of good choice. Happy with the drinks we chose (tea and a strawberry milkshake). Food was good. Place felt clean. Would go again.

Brilliant cafe visited tons of times as only live around the corner. The food is very good and the service is quick and the staff are very polite. The proprietor can be identified as her favourite saying is "come on in folks take a seat" overall very good and we'll worth a visit.

Popped in here for breakfast on a short stay in Melton Mowbary and was really impressed. The owners Lorraine and Gary are very friendly and welcoming and the choice was way beyond what we were expecting. It was so good that we went back there the following day. If you are looking for freshly cooked, delicious, British food then this is the place to visit.

Great choice of good home cooked food always served with a smile! Having chatted to the owners I believe much of the food is locally produced and all is cooked fresh to order. I can certainly recommend the lunchtime menu.

Just had the best bacon and fried egg roll ever! Can’t believe how tasty the food is – in fact, ended up having a second one! This clearly isn’t the normal type of cafe - we were talking to Lorraine who’s one of the owners and apparently her husband Gary is a highly trained chef who's worked at some of those fancy, expensive restaurants before setting up their own business – no wonder the food was so good.Had a lovely chat with Lorraine whilst waiting for my food – I’ll definitely be back!

If you're looking for a really good cooked breakfast you need to go there! Very friendly welcome, good and fast service, breakfast menu very large, good selection. If a place like this is crowded with locals you can be very sure to get pretty good stuff there, and so it was. Just great and highly recommendable. We loved it. Only the plastic table cloth was something I didn't fancy much, although I understand the necessity of it.

Regular for a full cooked breakfast great service food to die for never had a bad one here highly recommend

We have visited on several occasions for breakfast and again today . Always greeted with a cherry hello from Lorraine. Food is excellent and cooked fresh to order. I ordered the small cooked breakfast and it kept me going all day. Always feel uplifted when I leave here.

After reading reviews we called in for a breakfast en route to Rutland. Very welcoming staff and very good value breakfast. Shame it isn't nearer to us as we'd be there on a regluar basis.

Just a small old fashioned cafe, the service is great, you are made to feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door with a cheery hello, food great,fresh and quick.... When you ask for the full English breakfast the lady reels off your choices without it seems taking a breath.... It is very clean,friendly, food is lovely and good value for money.... I always direct people there if asked where to go for a good breakfast...

Visited on the way back from skegvegas. Never been before but me and my partner really enjoyed it. The breakfast was gorgeous. Home made bread was lovely. Thank you for a great service and friendly atmosphere. Definately will be visiting again.

A very friendly welcome is given from Lorraine and Gary from the minute you walk in the door.The menu has a great choice of traditional English food and the breakfast will set you up for the day.I was extremely impressed with the exceptional high standard of hygiene. A very traditional cafe with excellent service.

Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Reasonably priced food with a range of choice from lighter snacks to meals. Full English breakfast is particularly good.
