Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the decor: a space crammed with old memorabilia, some of it for sale, which several liken to stepping back in time and describe as whimsical, rustic and cosy. Close behind is the varied menu of breakfasts, brunches and lunches. The jacket potato (one pairs it with chilli and Red Leicester), the Banana and Caramel Crepe and the French toast are named as favourites, and portions are called decent. Drinks mentioned include a Caramel Latte, a Jammy Dodger Frappe and a three-flavour slushy. Staff are described as friendly, service as prompt, and several call it kid friendly. The complaints are small and specific. One reviewer found the oat milk slightly burnt, another noted there is only one toilet, and a third reported a broken hand dryer and a heavy smell of urine in the toilets. A one-star reviewer objected to the cafe's recent use of AI-generated food images, while still praising the food and staff. One visitor left with a quarter of Pear Drops and Pineapple Chunks from the old-style sweet jars.

“The food here is amazing and so are the staff. However unfortunately they've recently started using AI for absolutely eveything, even the images of the food that they make. It's so disappointing and straight up disgusting to see places using AI for a job they could easily do, it just shows how lazy they are and how little they care for the environment. They couldve easily kept their old photos or just hire someone to make it for them but instead felt the need to use gallons of fresh water, donate to ice, take away opportunities from artists, and also lose alot of customers. That is what AI does. It's so embarrassing to see places doing things like this, do better.”

“Moved to the area last month and was looking for a coffee shop to try out and this spot definitely surprised me! As a barista myself I loved the mugs! It did entertain me 🙈 and the crepe and jacket potato portions are amazing for the price!!! I’ll be coming here with my kids for sure 🩷 Only let down in this visit is the oat milk being ever so slightly burnt, but that’s okay, I also burn my oat milk 😆”

“I discovered Cosy Coffee Co nestled in Northfield high st. It has a wide range of food on the menu reasonably priced. The service was prompt and food on point. The rustic atmosphere makes it a pleasurable eating in experience.”

“Lovely place and decor. I had the French toast and it was so nice and my granddaughter had loads of strewberrys. Only 1 toilet. Kid friendly”

“Wonderful place to grab a drink or eat. Large open pseudo-dinner aesthetic inside filled to the brim with items covering the walls. Staff were delightful and happy. Cleanliness of tables and booths was excellent, and the menus and condiments were clean and organised. Cutlery and napkins are readily available. The toilets were clean by the looks of things, but the hand dryer was broken, and it did smell heavily of urine. Food selection was great with plenty of sweet and savoury options to choose. This did include Cosy specials, too! I ordered Jacket Potato with Chilli and Red Leicester along with a Caramel Frappe, and my partner had a Slushy with all three flavours and a Jammy Dodger Frappe. Service was fast, and the food and drink were delicious. Can't fault or complain.”

“One of our favourite local haunts. The cafe itself is beautifully decorated with all manner of whimsical items. It almost has the vibe of Monica’s kitchen from friends with its eclectic memorabilia and decor. The food menu is varied with breakfasts, brunches, lunches and specials - and very reasonably priced. Portions are always decent and the service is friendly. The cafe is clean and a although often busy it’s never difficult to find a table. We certainly recommend this hidden treasure on the high street”

“Wow ! Absolutely amazing cafe with so much old memorabilia. Every where you look there's something else to see. Some items are for sale. Had the Banana & Caramel Crepe plus a Caramel Latte both delicious. Also bought a quarter of 'Pear Drops' & 'Pineapple Chunks' from their huge selection of sweets in old style jars, takes me back to when I was a kid. Plenty of comfy seating. Great cafe for families 👪”
