I cant say a bad word about this place , breakfast is absolutely lush, I usually go once a week there. And the price is cheap as chips!! The owners are always polite and talkative. I have been to many cafes , but this is one of my favourites, on the doorstep aswell.

Ponty cafe is a little gem. The quality of the food is great, the owners/staff are welcoming and very efficient. The best bit is that their pricing is spot on. You get a great portion for an amazing price.

Might look small from outside but it's a labyrinth inside & even has an outside seating area. Probably the tastiest & best value veggie breakfast we've ever had. Friendly helpful owners & we will definitely return.
