Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the big breakfasts, with one describing a classic breakfast cooked to perfection and another noting everything arrived hot. Portions come up repeatedly, described as huge and really good, whether eaten in or delivered. Close behind are the reasonable prices for breakfasts and lunches. One delivery customer admitted being dubious about quality at those prices until the hot, well presented food arrived. A takeaway liver and bacon meal is called delicious. Reviewers also single out friendly, smiley staff, and one notes the cafe stays open later than any other they have seen, making it a great environment to work or study on a laptop in the evenings. The one problem raised is a food order that went wrong on a Wednesday. The owner apologised, sorted it quickly and came out of his way to see the customers in person. Small details stick with people: a first-time visitor was given a mug of tea with breakfast, and a takeaway order came with gravy in a separate pot to add as wanted.

“We either eat at the cafe or have it delivered and the food is always really good and the food portions are really good. We had an issue Wednesday with the food order and it was sorted quickly. The boss went above and beyond to apologise and sort it, he is so friendly and kind and is customers come first. Can’t rate diplocks and the boss enough! Such friendly staff and always happy to help. Honestly the boss went above and beyond went out his way to come and see us and he really does take so much pride and care for his cafe and his customers. Really recommend Diplocks cafe you won’t be disappointed”
