About Clare's cafe
Clare's cafe is a cafe in Birmingham at 69 Collingwood Dr, serving breakfast and lunch with catering offered as well. The full English breakfast comes in large portions, and the menu also lists hot and cold sandwiches, including a BLT. Tea and coffee round out the drinks. Orders are placed at the counter, and the cafe accepts both card and cash. Tables take up much of the inside space, so the floor has little standing room.

Customer Review Summary
The full English breakfast is the dish reviewers raise most, described as cooked to perfection, really hot and well worth the money, with two takeaway orders and several dine-in plates among the mentions. Hot and cold sandwiches come close behind, and one regular who has ordered for over a month calls every one delicious. Others praise the good selection of sandwiches, breakfasts and drinks. Portions are repeatedly called generous, one diner noting there was plenty of it, and the owners and staff are described as friendly and efficient. Tea and coffee also earn mentions, including one reviewer who calls it their place to chill with a tea. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who found service very slow for a BLT and the room crowded with tables, leaving takeaway customers standing right beside people eating. Another reviewer finished a full English at an outside table in the sunshine.

“Service is very slow over 25 minutes for a BLT.. the place has took many tables.. to wait for food to take away there is no where really to stand as you are standing right on top of someone eating.. the lady behind the counter was polite enough but way to crowded in there due to the ammount of tables..”
