One of the best breakfasts I have had in a long long time. The atmosphere, funny banter and kindness expressed and experienced at 830 in the morning was brilliant. I will definitely return.... Thank you Graham is a legend!

Started off St Paddys day with a great breakfast and even better service at The Stage Door Cafe. If you're looking for fancy breakfast options this is not for you. This is basic great breakfast food done right ! Alan is such a beauty and guaranteed to make ya laugh. Thanks for the breakfast from your favorite British Columbian Canadian

The owner really sets the fun Irish vibes. The food is delicious and not expensive. I was a solo traveler from NYC and it was nice chatting with the owner about the city. Would highly recommend for a nice easy quick breakfast

Very impressed! Stopped in for breakfast and it was a true Irish breakfast. Prices were very reasonable and service was fast. The seating area was not large but fine for a small breakfast spot. Definitely will come again!

Gorgeous little find in the city centre. Proper honest food! We were served by Graham who had such a lovely charm and humour!I'd recommend this place for breakfast, we had the full Irish and toasted open sandwich! Tea was served in a cute cup! Will be back again!
