About The Station Cafe
Breakfast drives the day at The Station Cafe, a cafe on Newport Street in Bolton. The kitchen builds its orders around cooked breakfasts, from a Full English up to a larger mega breakfast, and it serves the same components in bread as barms, butties and breakfast sandwiches for anyone who wants the meal in hand. Among those, the double sausage wrap with spam gives regulars a heftier option than the standard sausage barm. Service runs on a walk-in basis, so no booking is needed, and orders are placed at the counter. The cafe opens daily through the daytime, closing before the evening.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what reviewers return to most. One calls the breakfast sandwich fast and hot, another names the double sausage wraps with spam as a favourite, and others praise the breakfast barms and say the food sets them up for the day. Several describe the place as cheap, cheerful and clean, and one regular calls the owner great and the staff friendly, including for delivery. Close to half the reviews are sharply negative, though. One diner's Full English arrived overcooked, with bacon as hard as a biscuit, after a wait before anyone noticed them, and the salt and pepper never came. Another received burnt toast on a butty and felt the food fell short. One reviewer found children's items on a table, odd socks on the floor and crumbs on the counter, and had to pay extra for milk. Another says they were told it was closed at 2:10 despite a 3 o'clock closing time, and mentions hair near the food because the premises double as a barber shop. For one reviewer, a hot breakfast sandwich fixed a brutal hangover.

“Lovely little cafe, absolutely amazing breakfast barns. Definitely be my go to.”

“States it closes at 3... Got there at 2:10 and straight away says it's closed without us saying a word... Btw it's also a barber shop.. how they have hair around food is very strange too, probably a blessing in disguise we didn't eat there. I think trading standards needs to visit”

“The Station Café absolutely saved my life this morning. I ordered a medically-necessary breakfast sandwich to fix a brutal hangover, and it landed fast, hot, and exactly what my soul needed. Delicious, no fuss, hit the spot perfectly. Lifesaver stuff.”
- Jack Copley
“Stay at home and make the butty yourself, it will be a heck ot lot better than the shambles I got served. Burnt toast and quality of the food really wasnt £6 quality”
- Don Felipe
“Cheap cheerful clean simple but good food, what’s not like . £1.50 a cup of tea compared to double that in the retail outlets in the train station. Been a few times will go again.”
