After a disappointing dinner I wanted to ensure our next meal in Nottingham was pleasant,…read moreespecially as was meeting a friend. Luckily it lived up to its reputation. Walking in it was booming and was advised we would have to wait 10 15 minutes for a table which we agreed to do so. We were seated at this end with not a lot of room but the sound of the food made up for that. They offer all your classic brunch food alas they did not have a pulled pork dish so I opted for a salmon benedict on pancakes. My friend had bacon and eggs on potato cakes and my partner chose the pantry dish aka sausage beans, bacon , mushrooms, tomatoes and pancakes oh and a egg of his choosing. To drink I settled on a boozy choc orange shake, others had a flat white and strawberry smoothie. All the drinks were perfectly made albeit I dropped cream all over myself.. but wow the food! Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned and just full of flavours.. even the baked beans had smoked paprika a other spices to zing it up. The service was also impeccable without an expectant service charge. Overall we would eat here again. Top notch ingredients and just amazing food..

This used to be a favourite lunchtime haunt of mine but they have recently changed their menu and…read morethe way they cook their savoury cheesecakes. Infact if you ate here a year ago you wouldn't recognise them! It used to be that the savoury cheesecakes were baked in an oven (you could see the pans) ... my suspicion is that now they are cooked elsewhere and brought in an warmed up. The texture, filling and style has changed completely. No longer do they come garnished with a salad, fruit and crisps. The cakes are still good value and the variety is great. The staff are polite even if it is difficult to understand their Polish accents

For all lovers of cheesecake, this shop is a Godsend. It really functions as a cafe, with…read moresandwiches, teacakes and general lunch-time/afternoon tea time foods available, but the main draw is the array of cheesecakes. They have a huge menu of every kind of cheesecake you could want- both baked and continental, along with cakes, pies etc etc. I've found that the cakes aren't really that great- stick with the cheesecakes. If you buy a whole cheesecake, you get the most choice, 1 feeds between 6 and 16, depending on how hungry you are! Some are very rich. You can also buy small or large slices, although the choices are somewhat limited for these. The best option (both cost and variety wise) is to buy a 1/4 cheescake- these are all to take away. To eat a slice in the restaurant, it costs a fair bit more but it is apparently served on a nice plate with fresh fruit and extra cream. Baked Jamaican Cheesecake is the best.

I really want to go back and just have dessert here! On a day off, running errands in town, I…read morestopped in here to grab an Americano for takeaway. First of all, it is really lovely inside... going for that rustic chic look. The staff all looked a bit retro... or maybe it was just the guy helping me. It was very busy, in fact a couple of people that came in after me were looking for tables. I'm not sure how the system works...clearly you find a seat, but after that I don't know if you order at the till or if someone comes around to take your order. While I was waiting in the queue, I had time to notice all of the cakes and scones and decided I would see if I could have a slice of cake for takeaway. It was still about 10 a.m. and while I have been known to have a slice of cake for breakfast (only once in a blue moon), I wanted to save it for afternoon tea. I chose a slice of the Guinness Cake and they package it up in a box and include some plastic cutlery. It was a very moist slice of cake and I think the frosting was actually my favourite part of the cake. It was smooth and buttery, although if you are lactose intolerant, beware! I will say it was a price worth paying. The cake itself wasn't very sweet and if you are not a fan of Guinness, then you probably won't enjoy this cake. However, it does make me want to try their other cakes. If you go to their website, you can get a list of the cakes they regularly offer as well as the other food on offer. And you can have a gander at the furniture for sale!

On a slow amble around Nottingham expecting new discoveries on a town we had stayed in for a few…read moremonths but never fully explored, we were pleasantly delighted when coming across the ugly bread bakery. The name initially made us wonder what weird and wonderful delights this cafe had to offer, and our choice was confirmed when spotting the empty top seats, looking comfy and almost calling our sore legs to have a rest. With the cold weather still around, we craved the comfort of coffee and chocolate and the ugly bread bakery did not disappoint. Upon entrance we were embraced with the smell of fresh bread, and the interior was quirky yet welcoming. When waiting for our coffee there were a huge range of Italian treats on offer to nibble at. The coffee was strong but softened with the milkiness of a cappuccino, and having a salted caramel brownie made the combination heaven. My friend ordered the hot chocolate and white chocolate brownie, and also seemed like he was caught in the same heaven I was. One consisting of a chocolate overload. I wasn't able to finish the whole brownie, it was definitely a very indulgent delight. The ugly bread bakery is averagely priced to most coffee shops and I have the intention to go again to try the pizza! Definitely recommend!

This is a little gem in resurgent Nottingham city center…read more Simple, classic fresh Italian food (which good all Italian food is). It also has the advantage of being a deli with some of authentic brands you won't find in the supermarket. I'm not sure what the name refers too, as all the sanwiches and pizza's looks amazing I had a virgin beef and mozzarella focaccia toasted and ate in and took in the views of the frantic boxing day shoppers doing their business (they do take away too). The bread was stunning, really fresh and soft and baked with sun dried tomatoes and herbs, the mozzarella creamy and the beef yummy, which was nice after all the white meat eaten over Christmas. There was some yummy looking carrot cake, but I was full after the sandwich so I will have to try that next time.

They opened this branch many moons ago now - it's far larger than the other stores dotted around Derby. They have a larger selection and even a sit-down area (additional cost to items). My favourites include their cream bun, trifle, vanilla cream slice, cream meringue and apple puff. They also do confectionary, breads and savoury pastries and pies. It's a great spot to pick up something delish whilst shopping in town, there's also an express branch inside the Westfield Centre.

Basically it looks a lot cooler from outside with the indoor a bit 'average caf' like although the fact that you can see everything being cooked in front of you is a really novel and cool way to showcase that this place is all about good quality food. Although they do some tasty cafe items like burgers, sandwiches and snacks they're also a place where you can enjoy coffee and cake - and the cake selection is pretty epic! Our merry bunch of eaters all looked like the strangest, most eclectic 'orderers' ever with my wife and sister in law mainly enjoying cake and myself just going for a "light snack" of the ham hock terrine for £4.95. For this price I was expecting a little tiny bite, really not much to it but I was surprised to get a giant plate of ham hock, fresh bread, salads, pasta and loads more. It was so fresh and so tasty too - definitely something I'll go out of my way to have again if I'm up this way (I just won't have lunch plans afterwards too...)
