Welcome to Tasties Cafe, a gem nestled in the heart of Plymouth's bustling market at 1 Cornwall St, PL1 1DH. If you're seeking a spot that feels like home, where the aroma of freshly cooked breakfasts wafts through the air, your search ends here.

Tasties Cafe proudly embraces the traditional British breakfast, a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Many have raved about their Full English breakfast, a hearty affair that includes perfectly cooked bacon, succulent sausages, and some of the best fried eggs around—each one a delightful blend of fried and poached for that perfect texture. Reviewers like Mr. Peter have noted the charm of this café, boasting its excellent location, quality ingredients, and most importantly, the deliciousness of the meals.

The café's cozy atmosphere provides a friendly, welcoming vibe, where staff members treat you like family. Ant Southgate captures this sentiment perfectly in his review, highlighting the warm greeting that sets the tone for an enjoyable dining experience. Guests savor their meals while sipping on a good cup of tea or coffee, making the setting ideal for both a quick bite or a relaxed brunch with loved ones.

One of the café's standout features is their "Gut Buster" fry-up; a deliciously indulgent option for those with an appetite to match. For just £9.99, you receive a platter brimming with four of everything and a choice of tea or coffee. In a world where customization can often be met with reluctance, the accommodating staff's willingness to swap out tomatoes for an extra hash brown or bacon is a refreshing touch, ensuring every guest feels appreciated and satisfied.

From Lee Hardacre’s first visit where he left impressed with the freshly cooked breakfast, to Michael Fry, who can’t recommend Tasties enough as a must-visit for its delicious food and warm service—every review reiterates the same sentiment: Tasties Cafe is a place where you come for the food but stay for the experience. Margarita Toumazou echoed this, mentioning the perfectly cooked meals and the friendly demeanor of the owner, which truly enhance the dining experience.

Having seen this place is number one in Plymouth for breakfast on Tripadvisor we had to check it out. Suffice to say it lived up to it's reviews. Excellent central location, proper plum tomatoes, okay sausage for the price, excellent bacon and the egg was the best fried egg I've had (the owner explained it was part fried and part poached!). Very good breakfast, no fuss and a great price. Will visit again. Thank you.

Great food at great prices. They have a "gut buster" fry up which is 4 of everything for £9.99, and it comes with a tea or coffee. One thing I particularly liked was when we asked for it without tomato they offered us an extra hash brown or bacon, which is nice as sometimes you're made to feel like you're rubbing the place if you ask. When I ordered my double quarter pounder with cheese and chips they told me I can get a free drink too, which again was nice as I hadn't realised. Just really great service all round, and I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the market.
