GREAT cafe for a good breakfast or lunch. Allergy friendly for my friend. Service speedy and friendly and the food was superb. Nice atmosphere and didn't feel rushed out the door. Definitely recommend.

Really lovely cafe, the food was good quality and cooked well, the staff were really friendly and obviously care about the place and the customers. Many options available to tweak your food as you like and affordable prices.If I was local I'd be here all the time!

Best full English breakfast I’ve ever had! Super friendly. The people who work there are very friendly. We are from the USA and enjoyed the meal so much we bought a Dalby Cafe coffee mug to take home.

Quite possibly the greatest veggie burger I've ever had, made and served by the loveliest team who customised and cooked it just how I asked. It honestly made years of disappointing 'spicy bean burger' meals worth it. The place should have a queue at its doors.

This is a proper greasy spoon with faded formica tables and vinyl chairs.The food was really good and arrived quickly. I had a big breakfast but want to try their mega breakfast at some point. It's 28 and if you finish it you end up on the wall of fame. If you finish it in under 20 minutes it's free.Staff were friendly and the place was clean. It just had a cool vibe too. Almost like a timewarp to when cafes were actually cafes and not weird hipster places with avocado toast.I'd recommend this place to friends and family.

Delicious breakfast! It was excellent value for money, the staff were very lovely, great service, and only a short walk to the beachfront. Would highly recommend
