The Cosy Cafe & Bistro

About The Cosy Cafe & Bistro

Tucked down a small side street in Holt, this is the kind of place you'd walk past without knowing — small inside, so worth booking or timing your visit around the quieter hours if you're arriving with a pram and a hungry toddler. There's a little garden and courtyard for warmer days, high chairs, a kids' menu, and toilets people describe as immaculate, which matters when you're the one doing the changing. The staff are friendly and straight with you about wait times when it's busy. Breakfasts get the most praise — the cooked breakfast, the breakfast stack, a bacon sandwich, hash browns with mushrooms or bacon and beans — plus proper hot chocolate made with milk and genuinely good coffee. Portions are generous and vegan options are solid. One small gripe: they charge 75p for oat milk.
