Café No.

We’ve eaten brunch here quite a few times. Food is always excellent and very good service. Even our dog got fed. Our favourite place to eat in Rayleigh would highly recommend. Loads of gluten free options

Lovely cafe with good food. Option for gluten-free food on most items on the menu. Inside and outside seating. Parking is limited outside, but they will refund your parking with a discount on your food if you park nearby in the Travelers Joy car park.

This is a lovely spot that has recently been established by some friends we've known for quite some time. We had been meaning to visit them at their new workplace, and finally, we got the opportunity to do so. The first impression was a bit tricky—there wasn't any parking directly next to the café. I later discovered that there is a local pay-and-display parking area, but the café offers a refund by deducting the fee from your bill if you provide the parking receipt, which was a nice touch.As we approached, I noticed a charming outdoor seating area at the front of the shop. It looks perfect for enjoying a summer day or any time the weather allows. The covered seating also provides the option to sit outside even when it rains, which would be especially appealing to smokers.Walking in, we were greeted warmly by the staff, which immediately made us feel at home. The atmosphere had a unique vibe—something between a cosy café for hardworking folks and a touch of luxury. The décor had an authentic charm, and while the ambiance was quite relaxed, the service felt very refined—almost to the point of being a bit posh.While I was expecting to see a couple of friends running the place together, sharing the cooking in the kitchen and serving, I found out that they have a professional team in the kitchen with long-term experience serving both locals and passers-by.We took a glance at the menu, but were gently persuaded to try some of the specialties recommended by the staff. We ended up ordering a freshly made omelette with cheese and fresh peppers, prepared in a style I hadn't seen before. It was almost pizza-like, less of a typical omelette and more of a creative twist. Though I personally wasn't a fan of the peppers, the dish was quite good overall, and I'd definitely order it again—just without the peppers next time.We also tried the avocado toast with poached eggs, which looked beautifully presented. The only thing I wasn't quite keen on was the slightly sour taste of the avocado. Perhaps it was just a preference, as I don't usually enjoy sour flavors, but it might be exactly what some people look for in avocado toast.The chips were delightful—thick and hearty, almost like they were oven-baked rather than deep-fried. I loved the chunky texture, which made them feel rustic and comforting.Our tea was served in a proper teapot, adding a classic touch to the experience. However, there were a few too many tea bags, making it a bit stronger than we would have preferred—but again, this might just be a matter of taste.As a final word about the place, as I mentioned, it feels authentic, but I still think something is missing. It could have been much better. For example, the serving bar area takes up too much space, and the best spot in the shop is occupied by the serving bar—it takes up almost half of the entire place.Overall, we really enjoyed the visit. The warmth of the staff, the unique style of the dishes, and the cozy-yet-classy atmosphere left a lasting impression. We'll definitely be back—with a couple of tweaks to our orders!

Food is always amazing and plenty of delicious vegetarian options. The hash browns are incredible!

First time I’ve been in cafe 11 since changing ownership. Me and my daughter popped in for my birthday. Management and staff are so welcoming…such a lovely atmosphere. The food was outstanding…and the lovely gentleman gave me a drink and complimentary cake because it was my birthday. Didn’t expect it and made my day feel extra special. Thank you for making me and my daughter smile. I highly recommend this cafe x

Me, my 3 years old and my mum had the best lunch here today. Delicious food and drinks with warm and friendly service. Since the cafe is under new ownership everything got much better! Such a huge difference in customer service! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have a nice meal in a cosy environment.Thank you Team!

First visit to café 11 today and certainly won't be our last, went for a weekday breakfast, great menu with plenty of different options, if you do want a full English that's on the menu, the food is extremely well presented and the coffee was very good, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I understand that the weekends can be busy but being able to go during the week service was really quick.

Excellent restaurant, right o our doorstep, food was high standard & Excellent service from friendly staff.
