Why Not Take a Break Cafe
Welcome to Why Not Take a Break Cafe, a charming little haven situated on 17-19 Rectory Rd, Clowne, Chesterfield S43 4BH, where warmth and hospitality meet delightful fare in a cozy atmosphere. This inviting cafe is the perfect spot for a leisurely brunch, a quick coffee break, or an indulgent tea time.
When you step inside, you're enveloped in a friendly ambiance that feels like home right from the get-go. The staff are exceptionally welcoming—many customers, like Elaine Streets, rave about the “lovely” owner and her team, noting how nothing seems too much trouble for them. It’s this genuine care that sets the tone for a truly enjoyable dining experience.
The menu at Why Not Take a Break Cafe offers a range of comforting classics that are just waiting to be savored. Start your day with their hearty traditional English breakfast, featuring two savory sausages, crispy bacon, perfectly cooked eggs, and all the classic trimmings including beans, tomatoes, black pudding, and mushrooms, all for just £4. Steve Robinson describes it as “grand as owt,” and we couldn’t agree more! For those who prefer a lighter touch, don’t miss out on their exquisite selection of drinks—from robust espressos and creamy cappuccinos to the whimsically delightful Shmoo milkshakes.
And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, be sure to treat yourself to their cakes, which one satisfied customer described as “to die for.” There’s something truly special about pairing these delectable desserts with a pot of their delightful tea, as experienced by Tracy Irek’s granddaughter who enjoyed a “posh pot of tea” here. The happy atmosphere and exquisite flavors promise to make every outing unforgettable.
However, it is worth mentioning that the restroom facilities are located at the back of the cafe, which could pose a challenge for guests with disabilities. Nevertheless, the overall charm, swift service, and quality of the food—praised by customers like Jacqueline Homer and Steven Greaves—make this a must-visit spot.
In sum, Why Not Take a Break Cafe is more than just a place to grab a bite; it's a community gathering space where strangers become friends over hot chocolate and warm conversation. Whether you visit for a quick coffee or a full breakfast spread, you are sure to leave with a smile, a full belly, and perhaps even plans to return for another “amazing lunch,” just like another satisfied guest remarked.
So why not take a break? Make your way to Why Not Take a Break Cafe for an experience that delights the senses and warms the heart!
