Towering over is the famous St. Mary's church, so the Hungry pumpkin is perfect for tired tourists or city wanderers. The interior itself is warm and inviting, so i quickly sat down and was pleasantly surprised at the variety on offer. I ordered a cappuccino and a salmon panini. The coffee itself was a beautiful Italian arabica, coated with chocolate powder and served with a small Italian biscuit on the side. Absolutely delicious. The panini was packed with smoked salmon and goats cheese, and was very tasty. Price wise, it was similar to most cafes. I ought to try their full breakfasts next time, they look great. Definitely recommend!

Good breakfast spot with friendly service and solid food overall…read more I had the eggs benedict and Matt ordered the full breakfast. The eggs were cooked properly, the flavours were good, and everything tasted fresh. Staff were accommodating when he asked to swap the black pudding and even added an extra sausage, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy breakfast. The only downside was that the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price, so value could be better. Overall though, a nice breakfast spot and somewhere I'd happily return.

Refreshing, strong, plentiful... the best. The loaded hashbrowns were okay - the potatoes were a bit undercooked and cheese sauce served it's purpose I guess but the bacon was perfect, the right amount, fried to perfection, and honestly the saving grace of the meal. Every single person enjoyed their drinks and we loved sitting outside to people watch while chit chatting. I would get the spritz again, for sure!

The server came across as quite pushy, which felt unnecessary, especially as the restaurant was empty and we were the only party there. The music was also extremely loud considering how quiet it was, which made conversation harder than it needed to be. Portion sizes were on the small side, so value for money didn't feel great. Overall it was okay for a quick lunch, but not one I'd return to.

Several tables occupied by bachelorette parties over indulging. The three of us ordered a bunch of drinks: Pina Co-lava Lam, Disco sour, Alchemy IPA and others. For food we had Nori crisps, Pablo Halloumi, duck salad, prawn lollipops, chicken gyoza, crispy chicken and a cheeseburger. Also salt & pepper fries- too salty even for me. The servers bustled around attentively. An enjoyable evening with the bill coming to £117 including the service charge. If I come back to the city I would dine here again. I don't know of a similar place in America.

As an eat in place, you can get anything you want in any kind of bread for a pretty fair price. They have three boards of sandwich suggestions, but if that isn't enough, you can devise your own. Always take my Mum and Dad there - they have a great time deciding what to have - breakfast baps are incredible and very good value. Coffee is big and strong. They have a loyalty card which allows a free one after about nine cups - a nice touch, and obviously competing with Nero down the road. The deli counter has a nice selection of food, some unusual stuff - but I do think you pay for it. The olives in particular seem to be very expensive, and I don't really feel they are any more special than from the right supermarket.

After a disappointing dinner I wanted to ensure our next meal in Nottingham was pleasant,…read moreespecially as was meeting a friend. Luckily it lived up to its reputation. Walking in it was booming and was advised we would have to wait 10 15 minutes for a table which we agreed to do so. We were seated at this end with not a lot of room but the sound of the food made up for that. They offer all your classic brunch food alas they did not have a pulled pork dish so I opted for a salmon benedict on pancakes. My friend had bacon and eggs on potato cakes and my partner chose the pantry dish aka sausage beans, bacon , mushrooms, tomatoes and pancakes oh and a egg of his choosing. To drink I settled on a boozy choc orange shake, others had a flat white and strawberry smoothie. All the drinks were perfectly made albeit I dropped cream all over myself.. but wow the food! Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned and just full of flavours.. even the baked beans had smoked paprika a other spices to zing it up. The service was also impeccable without an expectant service charge. Overall we would eat here again. Top notch ingredients and just amazing food..

Located in Friar Gate Studios, Derby. It's a near miss - in fact, we drove past it twice before we had the 'AHA - IT'S THERE' moment! *Caps necessary as if I remember rightly, I let out a rather loud squeal upon our discovery... Aside from it's high-rankings, awards and even décor - What I loved most about the Bean Caffe is the fact it's owned and managed by mother and daughter - Sarah and Liv. They have perfected the art of ALL things breakfast (or brunch in my case) and offer a range of favourites from Eggs Benedict to Toasted Banana Sandwiches. I opted for the 'Smashed Avocado': Toasted Sourdough topped with avocado, poached eggs and a shake of hot Sriracha Sauce. SO delicious and for just £5.50 an absolute bargain.

It reminded me a little of Bills (or how Bills used to be when it sold more fresh produce...) as it's juggling lots of different angles - deli/ farm shop/ grocer/ bakery/ café etc... and with all these different things going on, it could be accused of being a little confused, however I really enjoyed the vibe here - it was buzzing. There is a larger eating area upstairs away from the bustle and hustle of the deli and produce sections, but for me, we were in the best place right in the centre of the action - right next to the fresh baked bread section (freebies and the aromas cooked bread; perfect!). The menu is well thought out and all gives the impression of a fresh creative chef behind it. I went for the chicory, blue cheese, smoked venison salad - because I just cannot deny 3 things I love to eat all in one dish! It was delicious - admittedly not massive; it would probably classify as a large starter but for lunch it was actually a good size (my eyes are too big for my tummy!). Mum was delighted with her omelette meal which was a bit more hearty (and I had a mouthful and if I hadn't been so taken with my meal I would have had full blown food envy!). It's not really cheap (about £10 for a lunch main) however it's worth the money and I was more than happy to pay it for such a well thought out and delicious meal. Thoroughly recommend this place!!!
