Quick info
About Ollies Cafe
Breakfast drives the counter at Ollies Cafe, a cafe on Central Terrace in Doncaster, based at Edlington Service Station. The signature "belly buster" comes with a drink included, and orders are built to suit, so mushrooms or black pudding can be swapped for extra bacon or sausage and the hot drink for a can of pop. A classic full English with tea holds its place for anyone wanting something simpler. There are no reservations, and customers order at the counter, though the kitchen also takes orders over the phone and delivers to nearby areas such as Balby for people eating at home or at work. The doors open early and the cafe trades through the daytime Monday to Saturday, with Sundays closed. A step-free entrance keeps the room reachable for visitors with mobility needs, high chairs suit families with young children, and outdoor seats give the option of eating in the open air. It gets busy, so allow time when you arrive.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the belly buster and the classic English breakfast, praised as a good feed at a great price. One diner asked for extra toast and was not charged, and another who skips mushrooms and black pudding is routinely given extra bacon or sausage instead. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, welcoming and polite, with one reviewer noting a delivery arriving hot and with a smile. Several describe the place as very clean, with a lovely atmosphere. The recurring complaint is the wait. One reviewer reports a long delay for two slices of bacon and two hash browns when the cafe was not busy, and says the request for no butter was ignored. Another calls it a bit of a wait, and a third notes it is very busy, so it wouldn't pay to be in a hurry. One reviewer describes a woman taking a phone order who ignored a waiting customer to chat with a friend, and the customer left. Even so, several mention a free extra of toast or a swapped drink.
