Quick info
About Hope Centre
Hope Centre is a cafe on Southchurch Dr in Nottingham, with a children's play corner holding toys, books, board games, a play kitchen and cars with car mats. On some days a free kids' breakfast runs alongside children's activities, which gives families with young children a reason to plan a visit around those mornings. The kitchen serves breakfast and lunch, including a soup and toasty combo and jacket potatoes. The coffee and cake choices include gluten free and vegan options. The centre is spacious and also hosts meetings, and worship songs and spoken word play in the cafe. It opens during the daytime from Tuesday to Friday and closes on Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays. The cafe sits close to the tram stop.

Customer Review Summary
Families are the clearest draw here, with reviewers describing a kids corner stocked with books, board games, a play kitchen and cars, plus a child fun day with crafting, bracelet making and play pool. Coffee comes close behind, called excellent by several and the best in Notts by one, alongside cake choices that include gluten free and vegan. Diners also mention the soup and toasty combo, breakfast and lunch options, and food arriving fast on a busy morning. The atmosphere is described as lovely, warm, welcoming, relaxing, quiet and peaceful, and prices are called reasonable. One reviewer says the jacket potatoes could be a lot bigger. The single negative review praises the coffee but describes a staff member who invades personal space, won't take no for an answer and takes food away before customers have finished, without asking. One reviewer finds it handy for a quick bite after hopping off the tram. Two reviewers mention children eating breakfast free, with one saying it happens often.

“As the name implies, you can't come here and go back the same. The food is top notch. The word and worship songs are more than sufficient to revival and restore your spirit. I love it here.”
- Rebecca Liggins
“A beautiful cafe serving lovely fresh food and hands down the best coffee in Notts! Charlie and his team go the extra mile, a great place if you have kiddies, has a little kids corner with toys, overall a lovely warm and welcoming environment, prices are very reasonable! Good value for money!”
