I've probably eaten in here about 30 times over the past couple of years and the standard of the food is consistently good! My favourites are the Welsh rarebit which comes with an egg on top, great for veggies! The scrambled egg on toast, jacket potatoes, toasties, full English are all good choices too whether you are coming here for breakfast, a late brunch or lunch. Fresh orange juice is squeezed in front of you and is a good choice too. Friendly chef and waitress and a real home from home kinda feel. You can't go wrong with an all day breakfast place for those more delicate feeling weekends!

This is a sweet little cafe on Trafalgar Street, serving amazing breakfasts, among other things…read more It's full of chunky wood and the menus are on blackboards, giving it a nice old-school feel without being too much of a tacky greasy spoon, so it attracts both the traditional caff crowd and the more boho types. As well as breakfasts, there's a good range of reasonably priced sandwiches available, and everything is well cooked by friendly staff. I personally prefer this place to Nia Cafe over the road for breakfast - it's not as swish but for value it can't be beaten.

Inside, the relaxed theme continues with window seats to watch the world go by on colder days and a funky, modern and young decor. Offering up an uncomplicated choice of comfort food favourites including sandwiches, baguettes, bagels, home made soups, pies jacket potatoes, muffins and cakes and more, the prices stay remarkably low (mostly under £3) considering the location.

This is an ideal place to sit and soak up the sun whilst watching the world go by- the location at the beginning of the North Lanes means that it's not right in the thick of it, but not too far off the beaten track. The food is simple and yummy. They do a great breakfast special- you can get crumpets, toast or a bagel with jam for only £1.25! They do all the usual teas and coffees as well as delicious smoothies. If you're in the mood for a treat, they also have a great selection of homemade cakes and the lunchtime options such as sandwiches and jacket potatoes are yummy too - the jacket with chilli is especially good. All in all the food is inexpensive, the service is really friendly and the location is great- what more could you ask of a café?

This cafe isn't my favourite in the area, as it lacks a certain hustle and bustle (see Red Roaster…read morefor that). But the manager/owner is really friendly and the food well presented. My boyfriend was disappointed with only one sausage and one rasher of bacon on his fry up, but I on the other hand found it refreshing to eat a fry up prettily presented and not dripping in grease. The prices aren't dirt cheap - you're looking at 6 quid for a fry up, plus a steep charge for extra items - this place offers a more civilised brekkie (see Gossip Cafe for the cheap and cheerful). I must pop in there again soon actually as last year there were free Quality Street's at the counter - always a welcome touch! I'm a fan of the tea too - okay there aren't a bijillion varieties and there isn't a tea leaf in sight, but it's served in a massive mug, builder style, just how I have it at home! The decor is cosy, with a range of sofas/tables/garden seating, and it's a nice place for a lazy sunday morning - all in all, well worth a visit (check out the specials too as there're occasionally discounts on the breakfasts).

I must admit I thought this café was called 101 Street, on account of my inability to distinguish…read morebetween addresses and names on signage. But no, it's just called The Street. I went in for a cup of tea yesterday right when the sleet/rain deal started, and was instantly warmed by the 50s diner feel of the café (and the tea.) I was tempted (quite intensely - the plate was held right up to my face) by some apple cake with clotted cream for only a pound, but stuck with the tea. (I'm anticipating a wealth of Christmas sweets in the next few days.) The café offers sandwiches, soups, pastas and full breakfasts for quite low prices. The sandwiches started at £2.95, for instance. The quaint Specials board and chatty demeanour of the servers added to the diner feel. I also noticed an advertisement for a tarot card reader - she comes to The Street every Wednesday from 10am - 2pm. That might be interesting .... She's from the Psychic Network! Anyway, it's a great little café for tea and cake or a diner-esque meal.

This place is A-OK and that's alright with me…read more Venus is the goddess of love and I LOVE that I can get a quick order of cafe food for a bargain price and that's about all that matters. I got a standard fry-up with a cuppa for just £4. The larger option is just a fiver. The tea comes from a bag and you'll find the cold drinks in the fridge. It's a bit like being at home except someone else is doing the cooking and the washing up. Result! You can grab a table inside or there are a few out front by the busy Western Road. It's actually a bit of a sun trap on a good day. Sometimes I just like to keep it simple. Cafe Venus is very straightforward in what if offers and it works.

They also have a really nice outside seating area to get the best of the summer sun. Unfortunately the food wasn't the best, I ordered scrambled eggs with ham on toast; the eggs were minimal and the ham looked like it came from a cheap packet from the co-op across the road. Having said that, maybe I should have ordered a pastry or homemade cake as they looked fantastic! The black coffee I had was pretty good, not the best but definitely drinkable. Everything was good value so if you're looking for somewhere cheap and friendly to eat, this is your place.

Land Of Green Ginger is a good example of the upmarket, quirky and often Bohemian independent retailers that now abound. They seem to specialise in healthy, veggie food with brunch, cakes and drinks too. They have a pleasant courtyard to the rear & a good stock of magazines and papers to browse.
