Promenade Café — Restaurant in England

This cafe is like a disguised greasy spoon. The food was mediocre, the coffee was good and the service was trying but not hard enough. I ordered a veggie breakfast and the toast was brought out a good 7 or 8 minutes before the actual breakfast so it was cold by the time I received the main part. That's where the theme began because the beans and mushrooms were cold too which is really unpleasant. The veggie sausage, hashbrown and tinned tomatoes also didn't require any preparation by the cafe (premade) which is totally acceptable but means I can't really comment on their quality. The service was just a bit miserable, I think the service with a smile was forgotten. Although I didn't need to use them, I don't think there were any toilets available.

If the food and been hot and there had been more friendly service I would have rated higher.

The female waitress was friendly and chatty, the young man who served us first, may have been a bit shy so perhaps he could be trained to remember to smile more often. The toast arrived long enough before the breakfast to go cold, I waited for a while but when I resigned myself to the fact breakfast wasn't coming our before it got cold I gave up and ate it. It's my preference to have my toast served hot with my breakfast at the same time and majority if not all breakfasts I've ordered in the past has come together. For clarity, when the toast arrived it was warm which is great.

The beans and mushrooms were cold, I didn't say anything to the server because they were busy in the kitchen or with another customer, fair enough. I didn't want to have to sent my breakfast back and it shouldn't rely on me to ask for them to be reheated. I appreciate it was an oversight, I'm just stating fact that it was room temperature/cool.

I didn't ask where the toilet was so I accept they must have been available and I can't comment on what they were like.

I ate everything on the plate because I was hungry- as you pointed out in your reply.

I say it is a disguised greasy spoon not because the food was greasy, it was not. I was describing the venue because it reminded me of those kind of cafes, my clothes smelt when I came out, the windows were all steamed up and the temperature inside was cold, I could see my breath when I breathed out.

It was a very pleasant cafe and I'm sure lots of people enjoy eating here but I accurately described my experience and I have corrected and addressed those things you disagreed with.

If the food was hot I would have given 4.5 stars but hot food is absolutely essential for me and I am totally honest in my reviews. I'll just reiterate that the female waitress was friendly and chatty AND the prices are VERY good value! I would recommend giving this...

We discovered this café just over two years ago and have been eating there ever since .The staff there are very welcoming with a friendly smile every time we go. There is a nice range of dishes for breakfast which I believe are available all day. We are both vegetarians and always find something we can eat. The poached eggs are a delight I between alternate between fried eggs on crumpets and the cheese and mushroom omelette with beans. There are two full vegetarian breakfasts. The coffee is available in normal and decaffeinated versions. Service is usually very quick. Personally, I find the inside reminds me of Cafes in the south of France. I have attached some photos to give you a better idea. There are an awful lot of other things they do for meat eaters.

When we have eaten there for lunch, the chips are crinkle cut which is fairly unusual nowadays I have not studied any other Cafe Blackpool, but it is my understanding that their prices are extremely competitive. However we don’t eat there because they are cheap. We go as often as we can because the food is excellent the service the same and the place is also very clean, including the toilet. They are only five minutes walk from North Pier and the nearest tram stop is pleasant Street as far as I know. We have never had a bad meal there then 15–20 visits. The only pity is that they close at 14. 00 so we can’t have a late afternoon mocha. They’re also closed on Tuesdays which means we have to schedule our visits to Cleveleys on other days. This is how a good honest cafe should be run...

Came here because of the reviews said it was food was good which for the price of what we payed I wouldn’t recommend, owners seemed nice but the food on the other hand… sausages was the type you’d get from a chippy so I didn’t eat them, egg was good and runny, was no mushrooms with the breakfast which it should have had mushrooms as it said on the menu it comes with them so was very disappointed with this, toast got brought well before the breakfast which the toast was cold by time the breakfast came, hash brown was probably the best thing on the plate was steaming hot and a proper hash brown, bacon was full of fat and the fried bread was looking a bit anemic.. bean and tomatoes was just your standard as normal and then the orange juice which was pricey for a large glass tasted like mould, would have rather gone to McDonald’s for a breakfast from there for a fraction of the price we payed here which was nearly £30 for 2 breakfasts and 2 drinks so no I...
