Was great service and excellent food. I asked for a healthy breakfast and they advised me about what was best on the menu. They even had low cal spray and told me how everything else was made. They have a variety of teas including decaf and fruit.The lady was very patient and helpful. My friend had a vegaterian breakfast and she enjoyed it.

Dog friendly. The owner and staff are friendly and welcoming. £7 for a large breakfast and they let me swap the toast for an extra egg. It was very nice with good sausages and really nice eggs. I will definitely visit again

We vista here this morning. Both food and staff were lovely. I'd make this cafe my local if we lived closer. The staff were very accommodating and polite. The food was very, very nice. We had the breakfast and dinner both very nice. They were very busy, no surprise, but we still didn't wait long. Would most definitely visit again if we were ever back in Blackpool

Fantastic quality food, excellent catering for dietary intolerances - staff cleaned the kitchen, cooked and prepared my food away from all contamination. The best and most reassuring service for allergies I've ever had. Staff were lovely; I'll definitely be calling back here again in the future.

Called in for breakfast with the family to end our holiday. The team were very accommodating from the minute we walked in, our dogs were welcome and they had a fantastic range of options on the menu. Food was lovely and filling. Will definitely return.

My family and I called here for a breakfast today. We've got to say, this place is a little gem! As stated in previous reviews, the staff are so welcoming as soon as you walk in, and as the sign on the wall says "walk in as customers, leave as friends" This is so true. The place is spotlessly clean, and the freshly cooked breakfasts definitely hit the spot! If you're visiting Blackpool you've got to pay this place a visit. We also loved the idea of "pay it forward " for meals and drinks . A great idea for the community. Well done, keep up the good work
