Description

Flames Café offers an all-day breakfast menu with decent burgers, but the limited options and congested seating can detract from the experience. While some diners appreciate the prompt service and quality food, others have encountered long waits and inconsistency, particularly when it comes to sandwich orders. A few reviews highlight rude staff interactions, leaving customers feeling unwelcome. Conversely, others praise the friendly service and enjoyable meals, especially during lunch. Overall, while the atmosphere can be inviting, improvements in hospitality and menu variety would enhance the dining experience for all patrons.

Called into Flames Bar and Cafe on a lunchtime after calling into Coventry City Centre to do some shopping. Ordered a bacon sandwich which came with tacos, a lovely bit of salad and a creamy coleslaw. The coffee came at the same time as the food and was nice and hot. All in all delicious food served quickly and lovely staff to go with it. Its not the first time I have eaten here and certainly won't be the last. Good food and very reasonable prices cooked fresh on a daily basis.

Dropped in for a cooked breakfast and it was fantastic, staff were very friendly and attentive. The decor is great, gives it a traditional cafe feel and the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

Have visited Flames on two occasions when meeting an old work colleague at lunch time. We often have a snack and coffee and the food is always hot and well presented. What is nice is that when the weather is nice we can sit outside and enjoy the good weather and when not so nice we can sit inside. The staff are always pleasant and efficient without having to wait any length of time to be served.

Came in here a 2 times for breakfast, first visit the staff was very rude, we asked for no black pudding and it came out with black pudding, my friend came in with a sausage roll was told to put it away as they don’t welcome outside food which we completely understood she put it away but what wasn’t okay was the chef barging out and raising his voice at my friend. After the 1st visit one of my friends suggested we go eat here I was hesitatent but thought I’ll give it another try, as soon as I sat down was told to move which is fine but annoying as the place had lots of free tables, the way the waistress spoke is horrendous, they belittle people who are just trying to enjoy there morning with a breakfast, one of the guys on 2 tables away from me only ordered coffee whereas his two friends ordered a large breakfast, she came out of the counter after spoke to the man like he was a child, are u only ordering 2 meals, you know you can’t share the mega, he said yes she said you can’t eat his food. I thought that was terrible, everybody in the cafe could hear. Never been to a place so unwelcoming, as soon as you walk in no friendly welcome, being in there they make you feel so unwelcome like your bothering them .I’ve never made a review or took my time to do this as I’ve never experienced such a horrible place. I think you should value the customers you do have a be a little nicer to people. Would tell everybody to avoid this place for sure!!

We were on our last morning before travelling home and wanted a breakfast to keep us going. We ordered the Mega breakfast and sat outside in the sunshine. The breakfast was very good and we both tried hard to finish it but were defeated by the toast. The service was very friendly and we felt really welcome. Would recommend to anyone wanting a good breakfast all sizes available! Yum.
