Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw at this Fleetwood cafe, with reviewers repeatedly pointing to the full English and fried breakfast as very good value. One describes a plate of two sausages, two bacon, two eggs, beans, tomatoes, fried bread and toast with a coffee, and another praises the jumbo breakfast, neatly plated. The vegetarian breakfast comes close behind. One reviewer notes tons of food with a large coffee or tea included, and appreciates that it is not priced the same as the meaty version. Others mention nice coffee, nice scrambled eggs and a pot of tea, and one orders steak pie, chips and peas. Staff are described as friendly, courteous and attentive, and several say the food came quickly and freshly cooked. The one critical note comes from a reviewer who was not a fan of all the fried bread served with the veggie breakfasts, though they still found it quite good all round. Food is described more than once as piping hot, and one diner notes it even arrives on a warm plate.

“As a retired truck driver I have experienced many cafes throughout my career. I'm a new resident of Fleetwood and made it my mission to find a good, pleasant, friendly, and affordable cafe and simply love this place. After perusing the menu I approached the counter and paid for a standard breakfast. After a reasonable waiting time the freshly cooked and very hot food arrived.. 2x sausages, 2x bacon, 2x eggs, beans, tomatoes, fried bread, 2x toast, and a coffee.. Simply can't be faulted.. It's situated just off the main high street and in my humble opinion The Dolphin can not be beaten on price or standards.. Now my go to cafe for breakfast or dinner. 👍”

“We came in for lunch on a Tuesday not really knowing where to get food in Fleetwood. I’m so glad we came here - we got a friendly friendly welcome and the menu is clear and well priced. We both had the vegetarian breakfast - such fantastic value with tons of food and a large coffee or tea included in the price. (And thank you to the owners for not making it the same price as the meaty breakfast like a lot of cafes do!) The food came out quickly and was freshly cooked and piping hot. I really can’t fault it. Definitely recommended.”

“It was pretty good. Wasn't a fan of all the fried bread with the veggie breakfasts but it was quite good all round. Nice coffee, nice scrambled eggs. Will come again when next in the area area.”
