Palmieri's — Restaurant in England

Popped in for breakfast whilst I was having my bike looking at with Bahnstormer Maidenhead which is just down the road. It was steady when I arrived with some tables free. Got served quickly and got a table. Lots of food options, but just breakfast. I went for standard breakfast at £9.50 where you get mushrooms, toast, 1 sausage, 2 bacon and 2 eggs plus beans. I added grilled tomatoes £2 and hash browns plus 2 teas. Food was spot on. Well cooked, hot and fresh. Hash browns were in the more crispy crunchy side for my liking but everything else was fine. Being picky, score low on the atmosphere as it was super noisy. The music was loud, the phone kept ringing and no one answering (despite not appearing busy) and the conversation noise increased so as to be heard over the other noise which made it all worse. Got super busy as I was leaving with no tables and lots of take outs so a popular place for good reason. I’d visit again. Breakfast on the more expensive side but...

Used to love going to Palmieri's, great food, fantastic service, nice local atmosphere but today I have mixed feelings. The local is in clear need of renovation. Two weeks ago, the front door was not closing properly due to the wind and it was freezing cold, very unpleasant. The heating system was a £20 electric heater and people were sitting with their coats on to eat their breakfast!

Today was not any better, toilet was not flushing at 8am, issue with the card terminal (it can happen, don't get me wrong but they were lucky we had cash with us and it would be good to warn people before they actually order).

I do love this place, the food, the service but I am afraid the local need a bit more than a fresh paint of coat.

Might come back during summer time, as then you can...

This a cute little cafe that we found whilst craving a full english when we were too lazy to cook it ourselves. There's a decent number of places nearer to us that do breakfast but was convinced by the solid reviews here on TA.

The place has been busy each time we've been and sometimes takes a few minutes to get seated but is most definitely worth the wait. The breakfast is well priced but is on the smaller side, luckily extra items are cheap.

If you're nearby or within driving distance pop in, you won't regret it. Will come in to try their other mains at some point, they look incredible.

Note: There isn't a lot of parking next to the cafe but parking on the...
