“ I organised a group brunch outing for 14 members of our local u3a. Everyone enjoyed their food and had exactly what they wanted. The service was quick, the drinks were hot and delicious and we had a splendid morning. This is a great place to eat and drink, whether for breakfast, brunch or lunch or simply a homemade cake. Everything is fresh and the menu is good for everyone and all ages. Many thanks to the staff for making our visit such a pleasure. We will be back. ”

“ My go-to place for brunch and breakfast on the outskirts of Nottingham City Centre. Lovely location at The Forest park so plenty of parking or easy access to the tram. Perfect to have a bite to eat in a nice location, then nip into town. I've only eaten breakfast or light bites here but I've never been disappointed and now you can order online so there's no queues as in previous years. The cafe has recently expanded inside and outdoors, the outdoor area is covered and has heaters so you can stay outside even in colder weather. Very extensive menu with options for all dietary requirements and lots of delicious cakes and light bites to take away if you're in a hurry. Their picnic box looks fab too! ”
“ The cafe is light, airy and relaxed, with a range of table settings and comfy chairs. As you enter, you can’t help but be drawn to the incredible cake counter, full of freshly baked goods. The menu has a wide range of brunch specialities, including smoked salmon and scrambled egg on sourdough, breakfast sandwiches, croissants and pancake stacks. On our visit, I opted for a Full English Breakfast (available as Meaty, Veggie and Vegan), accompanied by a lovely Chai Latte which made for the perfect start to my Sunday morning. Great tasting food, hearty portions and a chilled atmosphere - there’s no need to rush here. We grabbed some cakes to takeaway which super fresh and super tasty. If you get the chance, I’d highly recommend the Strawberries & Cream Cake - it was truly scrumptious! A fabulous brunch spot - I know I’ll be back again soon. ”
“ An absolute gem of a place. You really must pay a visit. Lots of space, lovely friendly staff, great food and really cosy. ”
“ Cracking Cafe and Cakehouse by Forest Recreation Ground. They make a lovely grilled cheese sandwich which you can follow up with some delicious cake. Well worth popping in for a lunchtime treat. ”
