This is a good traditional cafe. The rolls are freshly made and taste delicious. I'm not a fan of drinking coffee in cafe as they never usually make them how I like them, but here at the Matabeau the coffee is just how i like coffee.

A large no frills cafe offering freshly cooked meals and well filled sandwiches and rolls. Excellent value for money and in a good central location. The coffee beats any of the starbucks/nero/etc

Staff are very rude and i found it disguisting how a member of staff clears tables and talks to other customers ( who she obviously knows) about the terrible mucas cough she's had and how it keeps coming up - just as we are eating our food.

Could not believe that the waitress said that "she was too busy" when I wanted to ask her a question. My husbands dinner was burnt and the owner would not rectify or even give us the money back. This greasy spoon cafe does not come recommended.

I'd describe this a a 'greasy spoon'. Sometimes you just need a food injection! Recommended on the basis of its ok if you want a quick fry up. The seating area out the front in the street is tacky.
