Quick info
About Specs Gonzalez Coffee Shop
Specs Gonzalez Coffee Shop is a coffee shop in Doncaster, right next to the train station and a short walk from the station drop-off area, at 4 West St. The owner opened it on a whim, deciding a coffee shop could be run without a rulebook. That location suits a stop before or after a train. Both breakfast and lunch menus are served, with toasties, including a ham and cheese toastie, alongside sandwiches and salad rolls. The hazelnut latte comes hot or iced, and the homemade cakes and bakes include cheesecake. Photos hang on the wall, and a loyalty card is offered.

Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the main draw, with reviewers repeatedly singling out the cappuccino and the latte, including a hazelnut latte described as perfect and an iced hazelnut latte called delicious. One regular who drinks a latte daily calls it the best coffee in town. Close behind are the sandwiches and toasties. Diners mention a ham and cheese toastie made with ham on the bone, a chicken tikka salad roll, a gammon ham and salad sandwich and a sausage sarnie, with one describing a toastie packed with filling and flavour. Sweet items also come up, namely a cheesecake described as "to die for" and the brownies. Reviewers describe the welcome as friendly and warm, the staff as lovely, and the prices as reasonable for big portions. Several note the spot's position by the train station, handy while waiting for a train. No complaints appear in the reviews. One reviewer, after a first visit, mentions already having a loyalty card to fill.

“Visited today for lunch. Very friendly welcome with explanations about the coffee shop and photos on the wall. Beautiful freshly made sandwiches were enjoyed by all. Some hot, some cold. Proper ham on the bone used for the ham and cheese toastie and amazing chicken tikka salad roll bursting with flavour and ingredients!! We will definitely be back and I fully recommend. Thank you!”
