About Mrs C’s Tea Cosy
Dogs come inside at Mrs C’s Tea Cosy, a small family-run cafe on Normanton Lane in Derby, where they get a sausage breakfast of their own while their owners eat. The kitchen keeps to a short, select menu built around breakfast and lunch, with the English Breakfast, a Bacon Mushroom and Cheese Cob, baked potatoes, toasties and sandwiches. Cakes are baked on site, among them a Chocolate Orange Cake, and coffee runs alongside, lattes included. Vegan diets can be catered for on request. The cafe trades Tuesday to Sunday and daytime only, closing on Mondays, and the seating area is limited.

Customer Review Summary
The coffee draws the most repeated praise, with several calling it the best they have had, one describing a latte good enough to order twice and another wanting to know what beans are used. Close behind is the breakfast cob, singled out for its quality sausage and egg, and adapted into a vegan version for one visitor who found the kitchen accommodating. Homemade cakes come up often as fresh and worth returning for, and one diner claims the mushrooms were the best they had tasted despite not usually liking them. Baked potatoes, toasties and sandwiches round out what reviewers call a very limited menu, though the recurring view is that what is offered is done well. Multiple reviewers note the cafe is tiny and cosy, and one suggests booking for that reason. Dogs are mentioned as welcome as often as the food, including one whose dog was served a sausage breakfast, and value for money recurs among cyclists and visitors travelling in from further afield.

“Very Friendly for Doggies and even humans. Coffee "To die for", I don't know what beans they use, but I want some. This is a very small establishment, with a very limited menu. But what they do, they do WELL. …”
