Quick info
About Market Cafe
Market Cafe is a coffee shop at Stall 208 inside Coventry Market, an indoor market in Coventry. Cantonese-speaking ladies run the stall, and the menu puts traditional English breakfast, including bacon, next to Hong Kong-style curry chicken. That gives customers a choice between a familiar fry-up and a curry in the same stop. The curry is served with rice, naan bread or French fries, and the fries are cut from fresh potatoes. The kitchen also cooks traditional British food and other comfort dishes. The stall adds a daily special.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the Hong Kong-style curry chicken, served with rice, fries or naan bread, and several call it a must try. Close behind is the traditional English breakfast, where one reviewer singles out the bacon, and others mention a burger with fries, a baked potato with tuna mayo and a daily special. Fries are described as made from fresh cut potatoes rather than frozen. Reviewers describe the owners and staff as friendly and courteous, the food as hot, and the pricing as reasonable, and a couple note the cafe recently changed hands or chefs with a noticeable difference in quality. The one critical review concerns an extra large breakfast that came with two pieces of cold toast and three sausages in place of hash browns, and it was judged too small to feed a young lad, with the coffee also seen as pricey. Several diners say they plan to return, one hoping to try the new Christmas turkey dinner.

“Delicious Curry Chicken Rice. Can't wait to come again within few days, this time I bring with my family. Order again their mouth watering curry chicken with nann bread, burger with fries, bake potato with tuna mayo. Their fries are made from fresh cut potatoes, not from supermarket frozen stuff. They have new Chrismas dinner, the turkey looks really good. It's a pity I can't order it this time as the turkey just cooked when I finished my meal. Definitely will order it when my next visit.”
