Great little cafe - I went here for a breakfast breadcake and it was one of the nicest sandwiches I've had in a long time. Great service, polite staff and price was very reasonable too. Will visit again. No pics, cause the food lasted around 12 seconds. Take no notice of the 1 star reviews - they are outdated.

Best cafe in the area! The food is great, especially the spam and egg on toast! The breakfasts are MASSIVE!! The prices are brilliant too. Typical greasy spoon… the girls who work there are belting but the cafe is small with limited seating so be prepared to share one of the breakfast bar seats

I’d missed the buffet service at my hotel, so I ordered Nelson’s as the delivery estimate was 10-15minutes in UberEats. It was here in under 15, I didn’t have time to shower. But it was the most amazing breakfast I’ve ever had delivered and was up there with a plated sit down too. Very tasty ingredient, both eggs runny and not broken, not greasy. Great stuff, thankyou

Got to be the best cafe in Greater Manchester. Had a chicken madras , generous sized portion and it was absolutely unbelievable! Better than any other takeaway... This cafe is SPOTLESS!!! I've also had a full English breakfast and that is the best ive ever had !,,,(portion was massive!) I could not recommend more. 5 stars!
