About Ernest Cafe Bar

Handy if you're killing time nearby — it's become a proper destination for breakfast, and the kitchen keeps serving it right through to mid-afternoon, which is a lifesaver when a morning has gone sideways. Food comes out fast and hot: hash bowls get the most love (the chorizo one especially), along with bacon stotties, pancakes and freshly made sandwiches, though those sell out, so don't leave it late. Portions are plentiful and prices fair — around £25 a head with drinks. Inside is cosy with chilled music and a mixed crowd; there's outdoor seating for warmer days, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu. Staff are friendly and clearly enjoy being there. Sundays get busy, so book ahead — street parking is free then, but you may circle a while to find a spot.
