Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the draw at this café, with reviewers praising the full English, the good quality sausages and bacon, and the wide choice on the menu. Takeaway sandwiches also get called excellent and good value. Close behind is the staff, described again and again as friendly and welcoming, with meals arriving without a long wait. Reviewers also like the atmosphere, the space between tables, and the clean room, and one long-time regular of 14 years calls the new owners fantastic. Coffee earns its own mention, with a Lotus Biscoff Latte and a Butterscotch drink singled out as a lot cheaper than a chain. Prices are called reasonable and good value, though one diner says a chain pub is cheaper but the local café tastes better. The complaints are small and specific: one reviewer found the hash browns had a fish taste, another wishes the full English came with genuine butter, and a third notes the door says open till a later time than the posted hours. One reviewer likes the large local photos on the walls.

“Tbh, the Spoons is cheaper, but if you consider the atmosphere and serivce(yes, u can still have service in a fast food cafe). Similar bacon, same bread, but u can taste the difference between a chain restaurant and a local cafe. Will come again.”

“Excellent cafe. Lovely staff, who are hard working and you dont have to wait too long to be served and your meal comes quickly. Food good portions and well priced and good menu with plenty of choice. Also like the plates and cups with the name 'Broad Lane cafe' on them. Great selection of coffee. My favourite:- 'Lotus Biscoff Latte' & 'Butterscotch' As good has 'Costa Coffee' and a lot cheaper. Plenty of seats plus nice seating outside. No problem parking. The only Item I didn't like which wasn't any fault of the cafe was the Hash Brown's had a fish taste to them not sure why because the cafe doesn't have fish and so not a case of contamination. Great decor. Love the large local photos on the walls . I can highly recommend this cafe. Open hours:- Monday to Saturday 7:30am-2pm One complaint;- On door it says open till 2;30pm. Sunday closed”
