About TenTen Café & Restaurant

On Alcester Rd, TenTen Café & Restaurant is a cafe where guests are given complimentary hot chocolate shots and fresh fruit while they decide on their order or wait for it. The menu spans an English breakfast and a continental breakfast for two served with Persian tea, alongside egg muffins and Persian-inspired dishes such as a Bandari lunch tray and a Persian eggplant and walnut dip. The cheesy bandari toastie and chicken parmesan also feature. The full menu is halal. There is no booking system, so the cafe runs on a walk-in basis, and it opens daily. An outdoor seating area extends the space for those who want to eat outside, and dogs are welcome throughout.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the complimentary welcome offerings: hot chocolate shots, fresh fruit and smoothie tasters that arrive before or after the meal. Close behind is the Persian-inspired brunch, especially the cheesy bandari toastie, the TenTen continental breakfast, the Persian omelette and the Persian tea. Full English breakfasts, a vegan breakfast, chicken parmesan and a spinach and mushroom omelette also draw praise, along with generous portions and friendly staff. The caveat is mixed. One reviewer describes waiting a long time for food with no updates, hearing "just one minute" repeatedly, and being offered extra food instead of an explanation. Another found the pancakes tough, the cream apparently from a can and the samosas unappealing, and a third had a tough piece of parmesan chicken that was replaced immediately. Several mention a free French toast dessert or a baklava at the end of the meal.

    “Just enjoyed a beautiful breakfast. American pancakes with bacon, eggs and fruit and a lovely Spanish latte on the side. Atmosphere is very nice and relaxed and the staff are very kind and helpful. Will be coming again and I recommend that anyone reading this should also pop down for a visit”
  • Ruth Oyediran
    “Visited Ten Ten Café with friends and had such a lovely time! The portions were really generous, and we loved the complimentary iced tea and fresh fruit while we waited to order. It was a hot day, so the air conditioning was a lifesaver, and the ambience was relaxed and welcoming. The food was delicious, the prices were very affordable, and the overall service was excellent. A great spot to catch up with friends,we’ll definitely be back!”
  • Zaina
    “Love this cafe, I’m yet to try their food but the coffee is excellent and the staff are very friendly. I’ve been a couple of times and both times we were offered some fruit on the side and a taster of their tea, along with a little biscuit with our coffee. Little things like this make a huge difference in my opinion. Outdoor seating is also lovely in the summer, will definitely be back to try some of the food.”
