This cafe is an absolute gem of a place. At first, we thought it odd that we had to wait for a table in a village cafe on a Sunday mid-morning, but once we began our meal, it became clear as to why.
The staff are wonderful, the food is absolutely delicious and my dietary requirements were well catered for. Decaffeinated tea/ coffee and a range of gluten-free options.
It's very difficult to find variety when you must eat GF, so to find I could have Eggs Royale with a good-sized piece of GF bread absolutely made my day! The poached eggs were beautiful. Fresh, rich yolk and perfectly cooked.
The coffee was delicious and the Nutella crispy was decadent. Very sweet though, so if you're not a sweet tooth (as I am), they have a Victoria sponge style option which looked great.
My friend had sausage, beans, poached egg and potato scone on a chunky slice of sourdough bread. She said the potato scone was divine and she didn't want it to end.
My other friend had French toast with bacon and maple syrup. It looked wonderful. Chunky bread, good amount of egg and bacon.
As we had driven up from Yorkshire to see my friend and go see Simple Plan at the O2 Academy the previous night and we chose this place on the recommendation of my friend's auntie, I wasn't sure whether it would be any good, but I can promise you this, Coffee Jam is absolutely worth it.
I will definitely be returning to this cafe even if I drive up just to eat there and drive home again.
An enormous thank you to the staff who made us feel so welcome and looked after our party so well. You made this Yorkshire lass incredibly happy. 😊
