About O'Toole's Cafe
On Westwood Rd in Coventry, O'Toole's Cafe serves Irish breakfasts alongside sandwiches, cakes and coffee, cooked to order rather than pre-prepared. The full breakfast comes with white pudding and an Irish potato cake, and a vegan breakfast cob is also on the menu. Paninis are available outside the breakfast hours, and homemade apple pie served hot with cream rounds out the dessert options. The cafe is walk-in only, staff take a phone number and call when a table opens, and waits are common on busy days. Irish music plays in the background throughout service.

“A small family business serving good quality Irish breakfasts, sandwiches, cakes and great coffee. We are not a fast food café. We serve good quality, freshly cooked food, as quickly as we can!”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come for the full Irish breakfast, and the white pudding is the item named most often, with the Irish potato cake close behind. Diners describe poached eggs, thick bacon and tasty sausages cooked to perfection, plus a vegan breakfast cob served promptly. Beyond the fry up, one reviewer calls the homemade apple pie served hot with cream the best they have had, and the lattes get a mention too. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming and accommodating, happy to customise a breakfast, and checking in on tables even when busy. Families mention children being handed colouring, books and entertainment. The main caveat is the wait. Several say the cafe is busy and tables fill as soon as they free up, though most report being seated within a short time and feel the food justifies it. One family describes staff offering to call them when a table was ready, and a lone diner moving to a smaller table so they could be seated. One family left with their little boy being offered a chocolate bar.

“Honestly the best breakfast around. A very busy place, but that speaks volumes. As soon as a table is free, it is occupied by the next hungry customers. We have had a few breakfasts here lately and all have been superb! Their white pudding is lush, the latte's are so nice. The team are lovely, very hard working and friendly. Everything is tasty, fair priced and you don't have to wait long, considering how busy they are. Thanks again guys x”

“Vegan Breakfast cob tasted fantastic and was served promptly. But most amazing of all was homemade apple pie served hot with cream, the best I've had in my whole life! Very refreshing to see good quality food made with love in a time of chains and centralised food production.”

“We visited the cafe today for the first time after talking about it forever and had the most lovely breakfast. Our little girl was given some books and entertainment to keep her busy whilst we enjoyed our gorgeous meals cooked to perfection! The atmosphere was lovely we loved the irish music in the background and the time the staff took out of their busy morning to chat. we will definitely be regulars. gutted we didn’t come sooner! Thanks for having us!”

“O’Toole’s is an absolute gem for breakfast. The staff couldn’t be more pleasant — they’re always happy to customise your breakfast exactly the way you like it and never make you feel like it’s any trouble at all. The food is incredible and truly homemade. By far the best breakfast in Coventry.”
