Came here for lunch while out shopping and discovered a hidden gem! The café is well located in a pleasant pedestrianised square behind St John's Church, away from the crowds but only a stone's throw from shops and seaside attractions. Plenty of outside tables. The young staff were welcoming and helpful. I ordered and paid for my meal at the bar and the food was brought upstairs to me. A very clean space with a relaxed ambience, some good wildlife photos on the walls and a lovely view of the square from the window tables. The menu includes breakfasts, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and simple cooked meals. Good choice of hot and cold drinks including wine and beer. Very affordable prices. They do children's meals for £3.50. I opted for the two salmon fishcakes with chips, dressed salad and a little pot of tartare sauce. The fishcakes were good quality and the meal was hot, well prepared and satisfying. Nice pot of tea as well, got three large cups out of it. At less than £10 the meal was excellent value. Would definitely...

Who'd have thought an omelette could bring such joy......
Every mouthful melted in my mouth. The light fluffiness of the beaten eggs, the dreamy melted cheese next to the glistening buttery mushrooms. The crispy summer salad enhanced with creamy mayonnaise. And a small but perfectly formed pot of luxurious homemade coleslaw.
This wasn't just any omelette, It was a long anticipated Number Five cafe omelette 😋 Best in town by far.
They even put omelette on the menu just for me apparently! So kind.
They don't just do great omelettes though. A good selection of other choices on the menu, and everything served with a smile.
Sunny aspect too. Great spot for people watching.
Highly...
Read morePleasant staff, ambient atmosphere with spacious, well laid out table floor plan. Always clean and tidy, with clean, well maintained WC's.
Food has always been clean, well presented and well prepared. Concise, legible menu covering most tastes, including a childrens menu.
Prices are certainly reasonable both for the qualities of food and service, and compared to many lesser establishments where you bill would certainly be more expensive.
Payment by Debit/Credit Card facility available.
Having frequented most cafe's around the centre of Blackpool, 'Number5' and 'JK's Steak Bar' (Unconnected Business's) are the only two establishment's that I feel offer a service I would feel happy to recommend should anyone I know ask...
