Most Disliked
One common critique of Buddies Café centers around wait times during peak hours; the café's popularity can lead to a bustling environment. Some patrons have mentioned occasional lapses in service speed when the café is particularly busy, despite the friendly demeanor of the staff. Additionally, certain customers feel the menu could expand further to offer more diverse options. While the café excels in breakfast and lunch fare, some diners long for a wider array of vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Noise levels can also increase during busy brunch hours, potentially affecting the relaxed atmosphere that many value. Despite these minor grievances, the café remains a favorite for many in the community.

We had a lovely English breakfast at Buddies Café with the whole family, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was fresh, delicious, and served hot — everything from the eggs to the vegan sausages was cooked just right. The atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly. Definitely one of the best spots for breakfast in Leicester. Highly recommended — we’ll be coming back soon!

I had a fantastic English breakfast experience! It absolutely deserves five stars. The refreshing atmosphere and warm ambiance of the place made for a wonderful start to the day. The breakfast menu was so varied and delicious that it was possible to find something to suit every taste. The traditional English breakfast, prepared with fresh ingredients, was a real feast. Everything from the sausage to the bacon, from the baked beans to the mushrooms, was cooked to perfection. The freshly squeezed juice and lovely tea served alongside it crowned the breakfast. I will definitely be returning for this unique English breakfast experience. If you are also looking for a delicious breakfast and a pleasant atmosphere, this is the place for you! It was one of my best breakfast experiences. Highly recommend it!!
