What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Comfy Pew Cafe Bistro is highly praised for its delicious and hearty English breakfasts, earning accolades as the best in Gloucester. Diners also rave about the cozy ambiance within its historic Tudor building and the friendly, accommodating service. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some may find the busy periods lead to a wait for food, reinforcing the tip to book in advance.
"We tried this quaint little Tudor era cafe next to Gloucester Cathedral and we were not disappointed.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was excellent.
My dining colleague Rowan says this is the best English breakfast he's had in all our cafe reviews covering Cheltenham and Gloucester. 10 out of 10.
It was £12.99 for a large breakfast, but this includes tea and coffee, so the price evens out to similar establishments."

"We went to this cafe for race week for the first time and now been back 2 more times since to try out the other meals. The breakfast was lovely, the beef roast dinner is delicious and our reaction when the Beef Burger turned up was wow! The staff here are lovely too and made us feel very welcome. They are dog friendly too and even put sausages in a bowl and water down for our little fury friend to enjoy while we were there. We can't wait to try out the Steak night soon Trish!"

Right by the fantastic Gloucester Cathedral, they offer French toast, a full English and plenty of other standard breakfast options for a reasonable price!.
