Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is the main draw at Swift's Café, with reviewers describing a late full English and other plates as perfectly cooked, homemade in taste, and generously portioned for a fair price. Close behind is the staff, called friendly, welcoming and lovely, with fast service and no long wait for a flat white. Homemade cakes, including one taken away, are called excellent and tasty, and regulars point to the plentiful vegan and veggie options for the weekend breakfasts and lunches they return for. The one dissenting account comes from a reviewer who found a halloumi and tomato panini dry and tasteless, with no dips or condiments, and who called the menu in need of elevation and the atmosphere a bit flat. That same reviewer also objected to the chef working without a hat. Others, by contrast, describe a friendly, relaxing atmosphere, and one regular who is moving away says the cafe will be missed.

“Couldn’t recommend enough, we’ve been for a weekend breakfast and lunch a few times now and it’s been amazing every time. They have lots of vegan and veggie options and the owner and staff couldn’t be more welcoming and kind. Great value for money too!”

“Absolutely wonderful cafe, couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The food is excellent (loads of veggie options) and the staff are super friendly. We live locally and regularly get breakfast and lunch here. We are moving away so definitely going to miss this place - a must visit when we’re back in Notts!”

“A nice little find serving breakfast all day! Attentive staff, decently sized menu, what’s not to like! 😄”

“Amazing service, cannot fault this at all. Atmosphere was a bit flat, perhaps being from a bigger city than Nottingham. The food was disappointing, ordered a halloumi and tomato panini and it literally did what it said in the tin, no dips no condiments. Was dry and pretty tasteless. Has the potential to be a great place, menu needs elevation! Also the chef had no hat on with a full head of hair…did not like that, sorry.”

“I have been longing to try this place until today's lunch for a late full English breakfast (lol). The service is lovely and I enjoy the relaxing environment very much - I think this is perhaps the best place to give me the local warm welcoming feeling, too. I am extremely happy with the food which comes with a good portion at a reasonable price. The homemade taste is definitely worth a more frequent visit from me in the future.”
