About 2 Tone Cafe
On Walsgrave Rd in Coventry, 2 Tone Cafe is a cafe decorated with 2 Tone memorabilia, with 2 Tone music playing in the background. The Caribbean Breakfast comes with jerk sausages and ackee, and a full English and a veggie breakfast sit alongside it. The kitchen also cooks English dishes, and the drinks list includes alcohol. Dogs are welcome, so regulars with pets can stop in for a meal. The team is small, so large groups arrange their visit in advance. The cafe also provides catering and a buffet for private parties.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw, and reviewers single out the Caribbean breakfast with jerk sausages, with the ackee praised alongside it. Close behind are the full English, the veggie breakfast and a white pudding one diner calls the best they have had, all described as freshly cooked and good value. Several mention friendly, lovely staff, and the 2 Tone memorabilia and music give the room its atmosphere. Catering and a buffet at private parties also drew praise, including one for a birthday. The main complaint comes from a delivery order of oxtail and curry goat, which arrived with a watery, burnt sauce, odd chunks of meat and rice the reviewer found unpalatable, and which they felt was not authentically Caribbean. Another reviewer notes the cafe is sometimes closed, and one suggests arranging large groups in advance because the small team can be overwhelmed. Even so, one family who arrived after breakfast hours were still served a full breakfast.
