The Crunchy Monkey might be the best thing in Cradley Heath. After Tesco came and killed the whole…read moretown off in a matter of months, it's amazing to see a young business pop up out of nowhere. The quality of food and staff here are great. I often roll in here on my way to visit friends who live in cradley after I've caught the train to town. The inside is large and has a mix of comfy sofas and traditional cafe tables and chairs. The whole place is well lit and furnished with cream and warm colours that instantly let's you forget you actually in the middle if a dead town. The jacket potatoes are crispy and the chili filling was some of the best chili I've ever had. I've been there a few times for breakfast and it's always been great with generous helpings of everything on the menu. The prices are the best part, a whole breakfast you could pay up to £7.00 in a city for is around £4.00.

Selection of cakes and drinks are standard and im sure if they didn't have the cake you wanted they could whip it up in no time. Staff didn't really seem to care much when i went in even though the place was empty. Not the freshest cakes i've ever tried but not bad.
