Lovely English breakfast - sausage, bacon, hash browns, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, eggs and toast. They were also happy to swap an item out. Dog friendly coffee shop.

Really great cafe. We were buying uniform from the school shop up the road and decided to stop here on the way home, it honestly was great for the children. The place is extremely clean and tables were cleared around us. I was very impressed that the bathrooms were large and my daughter even told me they had a balcony upstairs where you could sit and eat. The girls enjoyed their mango smoothies and loved the food. The full English was great and was a filling brunch for all of us. I had my 5 month old baby and it was so accessible. We were the only ones with children and the staff were accommodating and really helpful when we required. The girls were well behaved and it was a lovely experience. Will be visiting again.

Vanston Cafe is a lovely, quaint spot for breakfast or a light lunch. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and the service is excellent and Monica was the highlight of my morning. Highly recommended. I had the Festival Full English Breakfast which comes with two 5 inch pancakes, seasonal fruit, baked beans, a hash brown, scrambled eggs, a slice of bacon, and two breakfast sausages. All came out hot and fresh. Eggs were pleasantly mild and not too eggy, the sausages were a grain and meat mixture, spiced with pepper and were a little oily, but had a great texture with a snappy skin. Hashbrown was nice and crisp, but needed salt. Also tried their Baklava which was about the freshest Baklava I've had before. It was delicious, sweet, and nutty with a soft bottom and crispy, flaky top. Perfection. Note: refills on drinks including coffee are not complimentary. Tap water available on request.

The Festival Breakfast was great! There was so much food and the fruit was fresh, which was much appreciated. The quality of the meat was amazing and we really enjoyed it. The only thing I would say is to make sure you ask for your eggs well done if you want them cooked all the way through, as they were slightly on the wetter side (I still enjoyed them) .

The most delicious chili garlic prawns, with fresh sourdough cooked perfectly! The service was excellent, very understanding, kind and attentive! The ceasar salad was a large portion and dressing true to recipe. The atmosphere was very clean, chic and modern! Definitely worth the visit!! Such a cute place! Monica was so helpful and wonderful service with a smile!

Great Breakfast. Staff were friendly with nothing being too much trouble. The food and drinks were spot on and the prices were reasonable to. I'd defo visit again. Roof Terrace was being worked on, but looked like a great area to have had a drink or meal.
