Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Nostalgia with a side of chaos.

Cafe 1947 feels like the type of place that had its heyday and is now just coasting on nostalgia, with a hint of chaos. Julie Bardsley was blown away by the Breakfast with Santa event, but not everyone is as enamored. Nathan Eastham found the breakfast top-notch, but Gina is losing hope as the quality slips amid rising prices.

S Miah shares in the disappointment with the slow service that leaves you wondering if you should’ve just made scrambled eggs at home. Nicola S had an encounter with a manager who seemed more interested in correcting a complaint than serving customers. It’s like they’ve got a great foundation but need to get their act together before they can reclaim former glory.
