“The food is so delicious, all made fresh and extremely good prices. it’s so hard to decide what to choose because they’re all so good, i end up getting food for the whole day. The staff are so friendly, the portions are big and good value and it’s probably the best classic non-fancy breakfast in Nottingham”

“This place was great. The staff were great, and the portions were perfect for me. The coffee was good and all in all it was a very relaxed experience, I will definitely be back.”

“Lovely place off the beaten track. The baked potatoes were great and such good value. Nice decaf coffee. Spacious outside seating area but, smaller space inside. Not busy on a cooler day. Service was good and friendly staff.”

“the staff are always friendly, the breakfast sausage sandwich is a saviour, and the lunch choices are good and varied. Homemade cookies are a plus.”

“Absolutely lovely. The staff are wonderful, the food is delicious and left me very full. The coffee is hot and fresh. Plenty of seating even on a busy morning.”

“I think that this was an exceptional experience. The staff were kind and the cats were all friendly none of them bit anyone and it looked like my son wanted to stay there because there was a little cat who stayed on my son’s arm he was so happy! Everything was nice and the atmosphere was great there was an amazing build on the roof it was a massive obstacle course, there was a long strip of wood and it was very thin and the cats were walking across it. I was straight above it so I could see some cats put their legs on the side of the plank it was spectacular to see how they built everything. On average 25 cats in the building. They serve food and drinks too.”

“amazing helpful and friendly staff”

“Great food at this place, nice thick bacon and tasty sausages which makes a difference making a breakfast, the hang over baps sort you out well too, would recommend”

“i came across of the freshly prepared french fries and it was a great deal very economical and adding cheese is a plus. as whole a wide range of food is available accessible and a wide space where you can chat and have some food.”

“Wasn’t too busy during the week when we came. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. It is dog friendly too which is a plus. Menu is small and simple but ideal for a light lunch. We had jacket potato’s which were great! Can’t really fault them or the service so 5 stars is deserved.”

“The café has an understated vibe with a dark toned interior, featuring various coffee machines and roasting equipment. The space isn’t big, but it’s cozy and comfortable, a great spot to enjoy a good cup of coffee. [Orange 3 Layers Cake] Refreshing orange flavor with distinct layers. The top jelly wasn’t overly gelatinous and had a nice hint of yuzu. The sponge cake was soft and fluffy! [Distill Milk Dirty] Hot espresso meets cold milk, a pleasant surprise. The espresso had a slight bitterness but was light and smooth, while the cold milk added depth. Great balance and texture. A memorable cup that shows their pour over coffee game is strong. [Matcha Latte] Visually appealing and beautifully presented. Made with high quality matcha, the taste was nicely balanced between bitterness and creaminess. [Matcha Basque Cheesecake] One of their signature desserts, rich matcha flavor without being too bitter. The cheesecake was creamy, smooth, and melted in the mouth. Not too heavy, even if you eat the whole slice by yourself. High quality and definitely recommended!”

“I ordered an afternoon tea as a present for a relative who had just left hospital. It was beautifully presented, tasty and much better than any tonic! Thank you. This is a gem of a cafe and highly recommended”

“We were dropping our son to the University of Nottingham end of September and stumbled upon Compà in Beeston on our first night of arrival. It was our son’s suggestion and we decided to check it out! I am so glad we did! The food was delicious and it was like visiting a family - cosy, warm ambiance and pretty lights inside that made it feel festive and special on a week night. We were pretty tired after flying from US to London, than taking a train to Nottingham the next morning so it was especially nice to sit down and take time to enjoy this place, yummy food while we planned next few days. We stroke a conversation with the owner who turned out to be such a wonderful kind person and it made us feel even more comfortable and welcome. It was a lovely experience and a warm welcome. Would highly recommend! Moments like this make sweet memories and have special place in my heart. Grateful for discovering this restaurant and meeting Angela. Many thanks!”

“One of the best breakfast that I had in UK, seriously, they are amazing. From outside the restaurant/shop doesn't look much, but once you pass their door, you will be surprised by a counter full of amazing products, some of them local. The restaurant go all the way to the back and they also have a beautiful garden. The food is all good quality, nicely prepared and delicious. I recommend trying any of the local products that they sell. They are delicious. I do recommend them!”

“Called in this morning for a breakfast as we was driving past, friendly staff, nice food and drink, we will definitely be back :) only downside is when it’s busy parking is limited on the street due to the position of the cafe, but worth parking further down the road and and walking up :)”

“Lovely little place really enjoyed the panini I had great fresh flavoured produce and love the coffee”

“Had a Dental appointment in the neighbourhood and wanted a place to relax and do some work online before heading to work. Ordered the omelette with mushrooms and peppers which was amazing! Nice, quiet space to work as well. Will definitely be back to try what’s on the menu.”

“I had a lovely afternoon at the Dandelion having afternoon tea. The food was amazing! They cater for vegetarians and vegans too which is amazing! The staff are so lovely and welcoming!! Would definitely recommend!”

“Amazing cafe!! The drinks and buns are devine, and we always get amazing service. All the staff are super friendly and attentive. The whole cafe has a fantastic atmosphere. It is now one of my favourite cafes in Nottingham!!”

“Lovely place bottom of bath st Ilkeston nice staff, great food handy bud stop for going back to Ilkeston centre”

“The coffee here was excellent, the atmosphere incredible and the personal touches to customer care were beyond what is required. My partner has a somewhat unconventional name and spotted a bottle of wine with the same name as him. As we were discussing purchasing said wine the owner came over and delivered it to us, which was beyond anything necessary for a coffee house to do. We were absolutely blown away by the hospitality and will definitely be coming back here. You've won yourselves customers for life!”

“What can I say other than Kalimera is a little oasis of Greek Cypriot delicacies in Nottingham. Mixing British and Mediterranean foods on the same menu is so clever! My son and I had to try the Greek breakfast, so tasty - I recommend it as an alternative to the traditional English breakfast! The Greek sausages are brilliant! Came back the next morning to collect Galaktoboureko sweet desert- specially made so I could take some back to Wales for my Cypriot family! It was delicious! Picked up some Pastitsio and feta/spinach pie. Nottingham is so lucky to have Kalimera on your doorstep! Perfect food and friendly owners!”
