About Café Impromptu

Café Impromptu is a cafe at 14 Church St in the town centre of Ashbourne. The breakfast plate is a full English with two sausages, bacon, fried egg, baked beans, mushrooms, tomato and fried bread, served with toast. It also includes black pudding and hash browns, and the toast comes white, brown or granary. Bagels are on the menu too, including one filled with egg, avocado, salmon and cream cheese. Cappuccinos, lattes and other coffees are served, some in medium and large sizes, with homemade cakes alongside. Dogs are welcome here, and the cafe provides dog treats and blankets, so people can bring a pet along. Tables near the counter suit solo customers or parties of two.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the draw here, and the Full English leads the praise: reviewers describe two sausages, a runny fried egg, bacon, baked beans, mushrooms, tomato, hash browns and fried bread, served hot, fresh and generous with no grease. Close behind are the cappuccinos and other coffees, with a vanilla latte and a huge milkshake also singled out. Several also point to the homemade cakes, and one enjoyed a bagel with egg, avocado, salmon and cream cheese. The summer strawberry lemonade gets a mention too. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, with one describing a server who chatted and asked about preferences, and a couple note they were seated quickly on a Sunday lunchtime. Value comes up often, and a few mention the upstairs outdoor seating. Dog owners call it very dog friendly, and one reviewer spotted a jar of dog treats and blankets by the side. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews.
