About Smith's Cafe
Breakfast anchors the day at Smith's Cafe, a cafe on Oversley Road in Doncaster where food is cooked to order. A Full English is a regular order, and bacon turns up in the breakfasts and in the hot sandwiches. Meals come to the table on a plate for anyone eating in, while a grab-and-go option and collection suit customers taking food away, and delivery, including orders placed through Just Eat, covers eating at home. Tables outside give the option of eating in the open air, and high chairs mean families with young children can settle in without a fuss. The kitchen runs daytime hours, open every day, so it works as a morning and lunchtime stop rather than an evening one. Booking ahead is recommended.

Customer Review Summary
Freshly cooked breakfast is what draws most of the praise here, with reviewers singling out a hot sandwich packed with bacon and runny eggs, a Full English, and food arriving hot and quickly after ordering. Several describe the room as bright, clean and welcoming, note the pleasure of eating from a plate rather than grab and go, and mention a small suntrap of outdoor seating; the friendly, chirpy welcome from staff comes up repeatedly, as do phone orders, Sunday lunch and chocolate concrete. Delivery is where the complaints cluster: one reviewer waited a long stretch only to be told the driver could not reach a pedestrianised city centre address, and another reports finding mould in a packaged cake and eggshell in the food, saying a full refund was requested but only money off a future order was offered, while still calling the staff polite. One diner found the breakfast greasy, bland and overpriced, and wished a request for well done bacon had been followed.

“Ordered via just eat to my workplace in city centre. After 1hr 10mins got a phone call from someone in the cafe saying the driver couldn't walk from where he could park to the shop I was in which is in the pedestrian area of Waterdale shopping area. Had loads of takeaway deliveries delivered direct to the shop door so no idea why this one couldn't. They could see the delivery address when they accepted the order. Usually use these when at home but definatly not now.”

“Lovely little coffee shop, does all your basics and a bit more. Was welcomed with a happy smile and chirpy attitude! What I love to see, a little suntrap outside too to watch the world go by!”
