Reviews Summary

The Market Cafe is praised for its excellent quality ingredients, particularly the all-day breakfast and cakes, served in a charming atmosphere with friendly staff. While some find the toasties a bit pricey for the portion size and the side of crisps/salad with breakfast unusual, the overall dining experience is positive and welcoming.

"Visited this morning with my family, best all day breakfast we have ever had, grilled cheese toastie was also great. All excellent quality ingredients. Very tasty. Great coffee and cakes too. Very welcoming, and the lady that served us was very polite and friendly. We will definitely return."

J Jones

"Albrecht found this cafe on the upper deck of the indoor market. Excellent spot for breakfast. Breakfast £8.95, £11.95 for the big. Really good quality. Nice spot and great service."

MADDOGLEP

"The toasties were a quite expensive considering it was a small portion with no sides, compared to some of the meals which were only a small amount of money more. But apart from that the atmosphere was lovely and it was a gorgeous Place. :)"
