Quick info
About The Snack Box
The Snack Box is a cafe on Market Way in Plymouth, run by a family with table service rather than counter ordering. English breakfasts and fried breakfasts are recurring orders, alongside omelettes and a strawberry milkshake. The room is small and tucked away in the city centre, and it takes walk-ins rather than reservations. It opens Monday to Saturday during the day and stays closed on Sundays, so visits are best planned around weekday or Saturday hours. Dogs are welcome inside, making it a straightforward stop for anyone bringing one along while running errands nearby. The format stays simple: a compact space, a short breakfast-led menu, and staff seating and serving each table directly rather than calling orders from a counter.

“Fantastic place to pop in to have delicious well priced food. I can recommend the omelettes which are restaurant standard. This is my son’s favourite breakfast destination, he loves the breakfast and apparently Tony makes the best strawberry milkshake ever !!!”

Customer Review Summary
Fried breakfasts are the main draw, with reviewers returning for English breakfasts they call spot on and a fry up that tastes good without costing the earth. Omelettes come close behind, one reviewer calling them restaurant standard, and a parent mentions a strawberry milkshake their son loves. Portions are described as huge, the food as fresh and tasty, and prices are repeatedly called good. Staff are consistently described as friendly. One reviewer calls the place spotless, and another says it is reminiscent of what cafés used to be, relaxed enough to chat or bring a well behaved dog without feeling rushed. The one complaint comes from a reviewer who found the food slow to arrive on a very busy day and cold when it reached the table, though they still called the food good. That same reviewer describes the woman running the place letting them wait inside and asking another customer to move so they could have a table.
