Best place in all of Lincolnshire for a Bacon and egg bap (to date that is) I highly recommend that you are in the area you pop in and give it a try. There often can be a bit of a wait on food but it's worth the wait I'd say. The breakfasts are good but nothing to rant and rave over but still fills that spot for a cooked breakfast in the morning.

A proper greasy spoon, i love the food here, i hope it never changes like a lot of places do, service with a smile, great prices and offers, right next to the bus station and town centre, no competition this is the best café in Gainsborough.

Had a big breakfast which included a mug of tea! Small friendly cafe, clean and bright. Staff very welcoming and polite. Food cooked to order. Hot and tasty, the eggs were cooked lovely and so was the fried bread. All for £5 and so I can't really drop any stars, even if the sausages were fairly basic. Excellent value for money!! Great service too hence the full 5 ⭐ With today's tight budgets, it's an absolute bargain

It's a great place to eat, from something small to keep you going from after work till you get home or a large meal. Very reasonably priced the owner Sharon is great and the the service is fast, friendly and excellent from all staff members.

A true gem of Gainsborough. Don't look like much but my Mrs said she ate there when she was a little girl and so to eat here with my sons is a bit special to her. It is very cheap and good quality food, normally have the big breakfast but today had a panini with fries and it was beautiful. The fries were actually fried! Normally it's oven cooked soggy yellow sticks but golden hot crispy fries! Heaven. Staff are great and interact brilliantly with customers so you get a family feel when you eat here, everybody knows each other and you could be mistaken for eating at home with all your family wittering on and laughing. My favourite place to eat when in town for lunch.

Was welcomed upon serving by the biggest smiley face ever, along with a singing chef.. Obviously very happy in their work... I had beans on toast with 2 poached eggs and a slice of black pudding.. Food arrived 8 mins after ordering which is fantastic, food tasted delicious and was all piping hot.. Can't believe how cheap the prices are ... Will I be back? Yes 100000%.. Keep up the good work guys
