Quick info
About Mortimers cafe
Mortimers cafe works mainly as a counter operation on Cross St in Sheffield, where sandwiches are made up to order and taken away, with only a few tables for sitting in. Breakfast is a large part of the trade, covering cooked items like bacon, sausage, eggs and toast, and breakfast sandwiches are handed over at the counter alongside ones packed to eat later. There is no booking, so customers order in person and take their turn when it gets busy at peak times. The cafe opens Monday to Saturday during the daytime and closes on Sundays. It sits in the centre of the village and serves as a local caff. High chairs are on hand for families arriving with young children.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast anchors most of the praise, with several regulars calling it great and one recounting breakfast sandwiches picked up for the family alongside dinner sandwiches for onward travel, at a price and quality the family could hardly believe. Close behind sits the savoury mince and onion pie, which one regular watches for and says comes round fairly often, and staff repeatedly described as friendly and happy to explain dishes on the menu. The complaints run alongside that praise in real numbers. One diner describes pale undercooked bacon, underdone sausage and toast that barely looked cooked, all arriving almost immediately after ordering; another found a sandwich dry and out in under a minute, tried twice, and will not return. A long-standing customer describes waiting well past their turn while later arrivals were served. One reviewer mentions the handful of tables and the steps down into the shop. Another describes food being taken back with no refund offered.
