Quick info
About Gusto Cafe
Gusto Cafe is a cafe in Nottingham on Derby Rd, at 173-175, where Turkish-themed decor sits alongside a menu of big English-style breakfasts. Breakfast arrives on large plates, with an English breakfast, eggs on toast and the Gusto Special among the choices, and a Set 1 meal is also on offer. The kitchen adjusts orders on request, for example swapping toast for fried bread. A jacket potato comes with tuna mayo or cheese, served with salad. Baklava is served heated, and coffee and cappuccino are on the menu too. Guests order and pay at the till, and the food is then brought out to the table.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw at Gusto Cafe, especially the Gusto Special, which one group of diners describes as a challenge for big eaters and another pairs with a Set 1. Reviewers repeatedly stress the generous portions and the fresh, tasty food, with the English breakfast, eggs on toast and a cappuccino all praised. Close behind is the friendly, polite staff, and one reviewer was able to swap toast for fried bread. Others mention a tuna mayo and cheese jacket brought quickly, and a Baklava that was heated on request. Reviewers also describe the Turkish-themed room as clean, calm and lovely, with chill music, though one notes it can get noisy when busy. The caveats are small. One reviewer found the service disjointed, since orders were placed and paid for at the till with no follow-up, and a sausage arrived separately after the rest of the breakfast, though very quickly. Another reviewer objected to the ketchup and brown sauce bottles having snapped-off lids. Several say they would return, and one customer settled in comfortably while waiting for a husband's haircut.

“Nice food, lovely staff, big portions! My only concern would be the vast amount of fruit flies on top of ketchup & brown sauce bottles due to the lids being snapped off. It wasn’t exactly pleasant having to see it!”

“Such a lovely place! The atmosphere is lovely, calm and friendly! The food was amazing, the portions are big! You will never leave on an empty stomach! We had the Gusto Special Breakfast and a Set 1 and we are both so full! But would a 100% recommend”

“Sat and waited for my husband to have his hair cut, felt really comfortable and staff friendly/polite. Once my husband arrived we had eggs on toast each, the portion generous, great value for money & tasty. Breakfast always tastes better when someone else cooks it! Thank you 🙏”
