What a gem on the strip! I randomly stumble in for a quick breakfast before my class, and now I'm hooked! Good range of variety including vegetarian options (it's Veg breakfast Set 2 in the picture), refillable coffee/tea that comes with meal order. Most important the quality of food, many of the ingredients are homemade, including curry, bread, I believe the hash browns as well. OMG I am hungry now just reminiscing about how good the food taste. Must try if you are in the area!

After having a massive craving for a hearty English fry up that I didn’t have to cook or clean up, we searched for somewhere locally to go as I love trying new places and supporting local small businesses. I was not disappointed, the food was amazing, reminded me of my dad’s fry ups and cooked perfectly. The chef was so attentive and made sure we were happy with our meals - I left with a full belly and feeling that homemade warmth you get after great food. Thank you so much, would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back

I came to Cafe 316 for a hot drink. Tom greeted me with a smile and was polite and friendly. There’s a wide range of affordable food & drink. I witnessed Tom being attentive to all his customers. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We visit the cafe frequently (not just because Tom is my family ) because the food is great, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Support local business! Support a lovely member of my family! And fill your pie hole with a full English!

Popped into Cafe316 for the first time and it was excellent. Tom greeted me like an old friend, before proving me with a hearty and incredibly tasty cooked breakfast. Tom knew all his customers by name, it was a bit like walking into a family breakfast (you know, those families that like each other). I'll be back for sure and recommend it to all.
