What tamsarian doesn't like about Cafe 1901:
Very busy on a Saturday morning, but got a seat easy enough. Breakfast arrived before the coffee (which I think they forgot about). Good standard breakfast, but the staff are not particularly personable, but certainly not rude….possibly down to how busy they were. Overall, decent breakfast, coffee below average and service a tad lacking. Good, but not great. View all feedback. What F7418SEsaram likes about Cafe 1901:

Despite initially being a favorite spot, Cafe 1901 has received mixed reviews for its customer service, food quality, and atmosphere. Some visitors have praised the friendly staff and delicious food, while others have expressed disappointment with unwelcoming service and subpar dishes. Those looking for vegan options may be let down by limited choices. Although there have been complaints about slow service and unfriendly staff, some guests have had positive experiences with excellent food and accommodating service. Overall, while various aspects of Cafe 1901 can be hit or miss, its cozy ambiance, diverse menu, and dog-friendly policy make it a popular choice for many.
