Cafés · Nottingham
A proper little neighbourhood café with a flower shop attached, so the frontage is always full of blooms — and a garden out back that's lovely when the weather plays along. Prices are gentle and portions generous: families come back weekly for the big breakfasts, the freshly filled rolls and a cabinet of home-made cakes, with proper barista coffee for the grown-ups. Food arrives quickly, which matters when someone's losing patience, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking. Worth knowing: it's a tight squeeze inside — cosy, but tricky to manoeuvre a pram between tables at busy times — and it can feel chilly. Service is warm with the regulars, occasionally brisker with new faces. They'll happily work around fussy eaters and dietary needs, and the takeaway afternoon tea boxes are a genuinely good shout.
