Customer Review Summary
English breakfast draws the most praise, with the bubble and squeak and fries repeatedly singled out. Close behind, the takeout coffee cups earn specific mention, though the coffee itself is called fine but weak and instant. Several describe the cafe as consistently packed with limited seating, and service is repeatedly called efficient and friendly.

“My partner and I popped into the Nearest Cafe after reading the good reviews that they have. I ordered a breakfast and my partner had a cheeseburger and fries. The breakfast was delicious! The bubble and squeak tasted really nice and I liked that it was green :D. Everything was hot and tasty. The coffee was fine, it was just instant and a bit weak. My partners cheeseburger was ok, it was very flat (the bun) but he said it tasted fine and the fries looked quite good. The service from the ladies was very efficient and straight to the point. We’d definitely visit again if we’re ever in the area (we were in the neighbourhood as we’d just given blood) and next time we’d both choose a brekki :). We definitely recommend that you visit this great cafe.”

“Date of visit: 09.05.2025 The large number of customers served and the difficulty of finding a free seat after 10 o'clock speak for themselves. Our two-hour stay (we were waiting for a car window to be replaced) allowed us to observe the popularity of this place, especially among the local workers. The most popular order is the English breakfast and French fries. From our observation, I can say that the cakes on the display are freshly added piece by piece. Very efficient and polite customer service. Photos of empty cafe are taken just before closing during our second stay(~14:50).”
