Cafe restaurants in England

  1. A

    Rainbow's End

    This psychedelic cafe sums up the spirit of Glastonbury, with its all-veggie food, potted plants and mix-and-match furniture. Tuck into homity pie or a hot quiche, and follow up with a scrumptious homemade cake. There's a small patio out back.

    Georgina's

    Hidden up a scruffy staircase in the covered market and plastered with old cinema posters, this is a funky little cafe serving a bumper crop of bulging salads, hearty soups and such goodies as goat-cheese quesadillas and scrumptious cakes.

    Archie Brown's

    A cosier wholefood caff you couldn't hope to find. Archie Brown's has been serving Penzance's earth-mothers and artsy crowd for years and shows no signs of flagging, with stocked-up counters full of crispy salads, veggie quiches and carrot cake.

    Alf Resco

    Tucked under a huge canvas awning, this cool hangout brings a dash of cosmopolitan charm to town. Rickety wooden chairs and old street signs are scattered around a front terrace, making a great place for brunch alongside the riverboat crews.

    Clowns

    Cambridge institution, run by a friendly Italian family, decked out with pictures of clowns. Great for a cooked breakfast, homemade lasagne, or simply lingering over a good coffee and a newspaper.

    Café Irie

    Run by surfers for surfers, this cafe's famous for its coffee and hot chocolate (just the ticket after a morning in the ocean swell) plus veggie wraps, piping-hot jacket spuds and gooey cakes. The decor's cool, too: vintage vinyl on the walls, multi-coloured plates and coffee mugs, chalkboards scrawled with specials.

    Blas Burgerworks

    This pocket-sized burger joint has a big reputation: sustainable sourcing, eco-friendly packaging and lots of wacky burger variations have earned it a loyal following. Traditionalists go for the 6oz, 100%-beef Blasburger, while veggies might plump for a haloumi stack or a ginger, coriander and chilli tofuburger.

    E Pellici

    There aren’t many reasons to recommend a stroll down Bethnal Green Rd, but stepping into this diminutive, but larger-than-life, Anglo-Italian cafe is one of them. You’re likely to be met by a warmer-than-average greeting as you squeeze onto a table among an amiable collection of East Enders. Opened in 1900 the wood-panelled caff is bedecked with museum-quality original fittings. Breakfasts are large and sustaining and the traditional English and Italian dishes are certain to satisfy the heartiest of appetites.
