About Nilly's Cafe
On Bell Ln, Nilly's Cafe is a counter-serve coffee shop and breakfast restaurant with a build-your-own breakfast option alongside its set dishes. The counter also serves Full English breakfast, chicken pie with a side of peas, and pancakes, plus coffee and hot chocolate. Jacket potatoes, curry, pasta and shakshouka round out the menu for those after something more substantial. Portions run large. The cafe opens daily through the day, with orders taken and served at the counter rather than by reservation. A step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating gives an option for eating outside when the room inside fills up. Seating in the middle of the space can be tight, and mornings tend to get busy.

Customer Review Summary
The Full English breakfast draws the most repeat mentions, described by diners as generous in portion and, in one account, "too full for an adult man." Close behind, several reviewers single out the chicken pie served with peas and the pancakes, with one calling them the most indulgent they've had in a long time. Coffee and hot chocolate also come up as favorites, and one reviewer notes being able to build a custom breakfast rather than choosing from a set menu. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, kind, and welcoming, staying quick even when the café gets packed, though one reviewer notes seating in the middle offers a bit less space. Diners describe returning on repeat visits and recommending the place to others.

“Been twice for breakfast and each time, great service and lovely food. It’s a bonus you can make your own breakfast menu, rather than the standard set menu”
