This little café is locally run with great staff. They are friendly and make sure everything prepared is top quality. They may take a little longer than most places because they care. From their porridge to fruit smoothies to soup or baguette sandwiches. Theirs eggs are great too. This was our go to café while staying at the Crown Plaza. They are only open for breakfast and lunch

The Deli on Pulteney offers some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced in the café context. From my first time there to my most recent visit, the owner of the café has consistently come out to greet me and ask me how my day has been. This sort of pleasantry goes a long way and leaves a lasting impression ensuring the return of their customers. It’s little things like small talk, wiping down your table and ensuring you have a clean ashtray that make the experience all the more enjoyable. The Deli is limited to breakfast and lunch meals, but do both extremely well with a huge variety of dishes to choose from. Their version of the B.L.T in a focaccia is my personal favourite, and the sizing doesn’t leave you wanting more. The chicken schnitzel wrap is also a delectable choice. Coffee here is superb, and the fact that they offer large mugs is a bonus — the more the better! In addition to hot beverages, the café also makes smoothies on demand with your choice of ingredients. My girlfriend loves their freshly squeezed orange juice and carrot smoothies, and although the combination of the two may be off-putting, it’s surprisingly good. The only criticism I can make of this place is that they don’t stay open too long passed lunchtime and are closed on weekends, which is a downer if you’re hoping to grab a late lunch or a weekend brunch.
