Gadebridge Cafe offers kind and friendly service, fantastic food, and good value for money. They are now fully open for indoor and outdoor seating. A suggestion for them is to consider offering a delivery service through Uber to increase customer convenience. During the pandemic and while we were shielding, we supported this cafe. Without prejudice, updated review below ⏬. After placing our small order, we patiently sat waiting. As usual, a very rather large group came in and sat at their reserved table. The group who ordered their food well after our order, then received theirs first, even though we had ordered well before them. Eventually, our meals arrived late. Update number 2. Again without prejudice. Not entirely sure what has occurred but know been a few issues here all thanks to a Karen/Kevin grumbling. Before they opened their mouths, the place used be such a fun lovely and lively hub of a community. *Gone are the days now of sitting down at the outside tables, with locals greeting one and other as they pass. The friendly banter from a lovely server. If want to sit and whilst spending time here and puff (illegal to smoke inside public premises now.) this is no more. Or those who have access issues getting through the door ie. mobility scooter users, large pushchairs etc. that used to happily sit outside, this too is now non existence.* Sadly these days, Community Spirits is not often see as this is slowly fading away for a variety of reasons. We do hope this comes back here, as Gadebridge Cafe was the heart well as soul of the Rossgate community bringing locals alike together, to meet and greet etc. With our child U attending a weekly local club, we often used to sit outside the cafe, giving U space to focus and learn all the while giving U who by the way has SEN, needed reassurance that we are close by plus was another tool to safely teaching them independence skills.

One of our favourite cafes (a lovely lady who does the most amazing coffees' has recently started working here :)!). Everyone is lovely, the food is delicious, the coffee is great and we really enjoy coming here. A hidden gem. The Turkish honey that they sell is delicious.

Oops, after returning my cup to the counter, I forgot to pay and the owner had to run outside to catch me. He was very nice about my attempt to do a runner without paying for my £3 coffee. I returned, later and bought a cup of tea. This time I took no chances and paid when I ordered, however, the money doesn't seem to have been taken from my card. Good community cafe, early crowd includes workers getting fuelled up for the day, later people from local area.
