Quick info
About The Bus Station Cafe & Take Away
On Union Walk in Hereford, next to the bus station and a short walk from the railway station, The Bus Station Cafe & Take Away serves breakfast for both eating in and taking away. The full English breakfast is a regular order, served with runny egg and fried bread. Food arrives quickly, often in under ten minutes. Seating is available indoors and outside, with a one-way system guiding customers through the space. Payment is cash only, and the cafe operates on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. There are no toilets on site. Drivers should note that the nearby car park has been linked to parking fines from CPSM, so those stopping in should check the terms before leaving a vehicle there.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers center on the full English breakfast, praising the fried bread as clean and not too greasy, the runny egg, the bacon and even the tinned tomatoes, with one noting two breakfasts arrived hot and fast. Close behind is the nostalgic, old-time feel of a proper greasy spoon that several call clean, with staff described as friendly, genuine and no nonsense. Diners also mention massive portions, good prices and a lively mix of locals and bus drivers, plus indoor and outdoor seating. One reviewer would add quiet music or radio to finish the atmosphere. The one sharply negative account says there were no toilets, that the food was better at Wetherspoons, and that a £100 parking fine arrived despite having paid for the car park, which the reviewer blames on a link with the parking company. Several others describe the food as great, and one first-time visitor was welcomed warmly by the staff, which they say made them wish they had found the place at the start of their holiday.

“Like going back in time to another era, really great if you enjoy nostalgia. I love the feel of the cafe, it has that old time feel of the fifties, staff were great, no nonsense, no fake smiles like you get in other establishments, just a genuine greeting without the small talk that you have to endure in other cafes. Food was tasty, very enjoyable and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed my visit.”

“Rude staff. No toilets. Cash only so we know why that is! Food was better at Wetherspoons round the corner and to top it off I got a £100 fine for using the car park even though I’d paid. They’re in on it with CPSM parking so avoid at all costs.”

“1st time being at the cafe and the welcoming from the staff were fabulous. The food was great especially if you are a fan of full English breakfasts. I would highly recommend this venue especially if you are a bus enthusiast which the bus station is perfectly right next door and a few minutes walk away from the railway station.”
