My pet peeve has to be missing the last breakfast order on a Sunday. Which is almost inevitable…read morewhen you're in a different city attempting to discover somewhere new. Cue the Bean Caffe. 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.

Stumbled upon this place whilst escaping my hotel as I was suffering from cabin fever!!…read more The staff were very friendly and quite happy to inform me about their daily work routine and their routine getting to and from work! However down to the real review. The chef had some pictures of himself with members of royalty so clearly he has cooked for those who would be deemed important...well he has now as I have been in there ;-) They are only open until 3pm but do a good breakfast range, Butler's Full English Breakfast, Butler's 6 item Breakfast, Smoked salmon with scrambled egg on toast or muffin and so the list goes on. The lunch menu includes a signature dish which has pigeon in it, which I was reliably informed tasted exquisite. The rest of the lunch menu BLT's, chicken strips and steak dishes. So dependent upon how hungry you were there was plenty to choose from.They also served alcohol so you could have lunch time tipple if that was your fancy. Whilst it is a small tea room area they clearly did a lot of off site catering from the coming and goings I witnessed for the time I was there. Sandwich platers came and went along with equipment to keep hot food hot. So if you need a caterer who can provide good external services you could do worse than here.

Although I have never been in to the shop, I used to visit the van when I worked on Pride Park. Their food was good and compared to other food vans, a lot more varied. There was a choice from jacket potatoes, sausage rolls, sandwiches, chocolate etc. The only thing I found quite offputting was the pricing. It was very easy to spend a lot of money with InFusion over a week & it seemed with the posh van that all the money went on their gimicky image. However, the food was lovely & I highly recommend the place as somewhere to go as a treat unless you are rich!

From baguettes, bagels, wraps, paninis and baked potatoes, you'll find your perfect sandwich from a selection of more than 50 different fillings. Infusion is also open for breakfast if you prefer a full English. Infusion is a little pricey but is what you would expect due to the large choice of different fillings. Majority of Infusion's customers come for a takeaway lunch to take back to the office, however, Infusion does cater for those who wish to sit and chat with a hot drink and has a number of tables and chairs in a small eating area. Infusion is very popular in the local business area so during the busy lunch period be prepared to queue. However, service is quick and efficient so you don't feel like you are waiting too long.

Gee's is one of those places, you can rely on a good meal with a decent amount of fillings too, not like some other places that give you 6 pieces of grated cheese and one ring of onion! This week I've been on a bit of a Jacket Potato cheese and beans binge and I'm happy with how it's been from Gee's only once out of 4 times has it been below par and that was just a new person serving I think and they were a bit stingy with the beans! Good friendly atmosphere in there and the cakes look great. It's all very reasonably priced and has that great cob shop/eat in smell! I'll be going here for a while yet!

Over time, the mochachino has got weaker with the espresso and tastes purely of hot chocolate. It's a real shame! The last time I came here I ordered a double espresso, the base of all coffee drinks. It's usually the saving grace for me, but sadly it wasn't. I was asked if I would like sugar with it? Huh? This place is a smallish-locally owned business and it does warm lunches/sandwiches, gelato and pastries etc, however they tend to be on the pricier side. The service is usually good and there's plenty of seating, but it still feels bustly! With the Westfield Centre open, my patronage falls with Costa (despite it being a franchise), sorry...
