Quick info
About Cafe South
Set inside a youth centre in Buttershaw, Cafe South is a cafe on Park Square where pool and football for children run under the same roof, so families can eat and stay on. Breakfast anchors the mornings, with a full breakfast the mainstay, while jacket potatoes arrive with salad and a drink and chicken burgers and nuggets have joined the menu. Everything is cooked to order, so expect a wait after you order at the counter. Coffee and other hot drinks run alongside, with refills available. No booking is taken, and tables go to walk-ins. The kitchen works Thursday to Saturday during the day only, closing the rest of the week. High chairs suit families with young children, and a step-free entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without steps. Outdoor seats give the option of eating outside, dogs are welcome, and a park sits close by.

Customer Review Summary
Full breakfast is what reviewers return to most, with diners calling it fresh, flavorful, and one of the cleanest, nicest they have had in a long time, and one reviewer praising the chef's cooking of it. Close behind are the jacket potatoes, described as huge and served with salad and refill drinks, along with chicken burgers and chicken nuggets that one diner found good. The coffee is also called very good. Reviewers repeatedly describe generous portions, fair value, and friendly, attentive staff, with one server singled out as a kind and welcoming presence. Several mention the welcoming, community feel of a cafe set inside a youth centre, where one parent ate breakfast and played pool and football with a child under the same roof. No recurring complaints appear. One couple was given complimentary hot drinks and biscuits while their food was made.

“This place is truly full of community spirit, warmth, and great food. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the welcoming atmosphere and the genuine care the staff have for their customers. Saif provided outstanding customer service throughout my visit—he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, making the experience even more enjoyable. It's rare to come across someone so authentic and passionate about what they do. The food was excellent, and the breakfast was honestly one of the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a wonderful dining experience.and lets not forget the coffee is soo good!”

“Nigh on 60 years of the dreaded Monday morning blues, however today, having visited the Cafe South in Buttershaw, Monday mornings have now become something to look forward too... The Chef , carlsberg couldn't if they tried probably achieve tye levels of excellence in cooking a full breakfast... Siaf , if you ever wish to meet a true gentleman then lady's & Gentleman you will struggle to find a man of this calibre... I highly recommend the Cafe South ... excellent”
