About Nelsons Cafe
Breakfast drives the kitchen at Nelsons Cafe, a cafe on Hollins Rd in Oldham. The full English anchors the menu, and spam and egg served on toast is a recurring order, giving regulars an option beyond the standard plate. Bacon and sausage run through the offering, and eggs feature across orders. The cafe works on a walk-in basis, with no booking needed, and it opens daily through the daytime. High chairs are on hand for families with young children. Orders can also be placed for delivery, including through UberEats, for anyone eating at home or at work.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the spam and egg on toast, with the breakfasts described as massive and the Full English also singled out as possibly the best one a diner has found. A breakfast breadcake is called one of the nicest sandwiches a reviewer has had in a long time, and one delivery customer describes eggs that arrived runny and unbroken, not greasy. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, kind, and polite, and several mention the prices as good, with one reviewer noting a clean kitchen. The cafe is small with limited seating, so one reviewer says to be ready to share a breakfast bar seat. The one critical review comes from a past regular whose latest delivered order had a half cooked egg, still clear and snotty, which they felt the cook should have spotted. Another reviewer says earlier one star reviews are outdated, and a diner's note that the bacon and sausage went down well with their dog closes out the praise.
