About Banco Cafe & Bistro
Banco Cafe & Bistro is a coffee shop in Doncaster town centre, on St Sepulchre Gate. The food side of the menu runs from a Mediterranean plate of falafel, grilled halloumi, poached eggs, tzatziki and watermelon to shakshuka served with stacked toast. Coffee comes as cappuccino and latte, and the drinks list also includes a pistachio frappe and a winter-spiced hot drink. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring their pets along when they stop in for a meal or a coffee. Inside, the decor is dark and grand.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the coffee, with cappuccino and latte described as strong and well-made, and one calling the coffee reason enough to come back. Close behind is the brunch menu: one diner praises a shakshuka and a Mediterranean plate of falafel, grilled halloumi and poached eggs, alongside a pistachio frappe, a cinnamon cappuccino and a winter-spiced hot drink. Pulled pork loaded fries also get a mention, and a blueberry cheesecake is called nice though not the best one reviewer has had. Many describe the staff as friendly, the decor as lovely, and the atmosphere as relaxed, with one noting a cool playlist. A few say it is not the cheapest, while others find prices reasonable. The main complaint comes from one visitor who was seated without physical menus until asking, then waited a further five minutes or more after requesting extra time, and ended up handing the menu back personally. Another notes one team member who took payment was less smiley than the front of house staff.

“I had a fantastic experience at Banco Cafe & Bistro! The food was delicious, the staff were exceptionally friendly, and the location in Doncaster is extremely convenient. Highly recommended!”
- George Hirst
“Great place overall visited for the second timr now and quite possibly the last as we walked in and shown to a table but was not offered physical menus until I requested aswell as when I said I needed a little longer before I order food the sribk was bought over and had to wait a further 5 minutes if not longer because they finally came and took my order I then also had to pass the menu back as staff should be trained to take menus away from costumers. I felt thst visit was about doing staffs jobs for them.”

“Since I moved away from Poland, I sometimes find it difficult to find a place where the food is genuinely delicious, beautifully presented, and served in a nice, welcoming setting. I really miss places like that. Here, I found everything I was looking for: delicious food, good prices, and perfect service. I definitely recommend this place! I deliberately didn’t take any photos of the food, even though the presentation was absolutely beautiful. I don’t want to spoil the experience for anyone, I’d rather leave that little surprise for you to discover for yourself. Just go, order something, and enjoy seeing it for the first time. It’s part of the experience.”
