It's years since I was in café Torino - I used to call it the smokers café.I popped in this morning shy off half ten & I had a reasonably priced £5 breakfast, which melted in my mouth ? NO tough Lorne sausage & NO frizzled up egg ? ? ?The main problem wasn't with the food - it was that it was served up on a 'stone cold plate ?️ & i don't think that's the right thing to do 'cos the heat from the hot ? food dissipates to the cold plate.The next time that I venture in I will ask if my plate can be heated up a bit & hopefully the tattie ? scone isn't all greasy, that one can ring it out, as has happened to me b4, but very rarely.So far, the staff appear very friendly, especially the very tall slim waitress with the 2 long ? tails - if that's what their still called. She even asked me if I wanted my capochino b4 my meal [or words to that effect] ? very good ?Back in again Tue 5/3/24 at around halve nine, to try out their FULL breakfast this time & just to make sure, I asked for it to be put onto a hot plate ?️ & it came on a warm plate & not on a cold plate which was fine, & as u can all see my breakfast looked really nice.No frizzled up egg?or a soggy, greasy tattie scone & as usual the square lorn sausage wasn't tough at all and the rest was all cooked spot on BUT this is the bit I don't get. I know if you want to add an extra item to the breakfast it's £1SO instead of having to pay £1 extra i asked if i could change one of the 2 square sausage for one link sausage & i was told it would cost me a £1 extra, & all through my breakfast i couldn't figure that one out, when it was just a straight swop. I've never heard the likes of it ?But it won't put me off from going back in again BUT I was told that if their that busy - they may not have time to heat up your plate ?️ & if you like your T strong bring your own T bag.

Me and my colleague just done a delivery to this fantastic hidden gem, the 3 people working in the place couldn’t have been any nicer. The food we ordered was top quality cooked to perfection, the atmosphere in the shop was great , definitely 5 stars from us . Definitely recommend if you are in or live in this area. Great work guys .

Was in area with work one Saturday afternoon, and had time for a bit of lunch. Decided to see what Tripadvisor would bring up, and I was close to Cafe Torino. Thought would give it a try, and was well worth it. Nice little old school cafe, with a straight forward and basic menu that will be sure to have something to your taste. Ordered a light lunch and a coffee, and was prepared in no time. Prices are really good. If in area again, will be sure to visit again.

Reasonable priced and handy location. Has usual basics in a coffee shop with toilet and free wifi. Nearby free parking and outdoor seating. Some home baking which is quite nice and quality isn't too bad for rest of food.Excepts cards and contactless now which is good. Also has a nice outside seating area which is partly under cover and lets you see plenty of the world go by.Service is very friendly and easy going there happy to have children with usual high chair available. Prices for a sit down are one of the best in the town so place can be quite busy at peak times but the refreshed decor gives a nice ambience and food has always been quite good.

Had a great breakfast, food was excellent, coffee very good, definitely recommend, staff are very organised
Chips and cola and ketchup I got it was the best chips and cola.

A very fine little cafe. Has a feel of “retro cool” that is so welcome after chain cafes. A fine bacon roll and coffee. Pleasant waitress and prompt service.

What a difference in here since the new owner took over. Nice clean and bright and the food is pretty good too.
