People rave about the extensive breakfast menu—especially the Full English and the vegetarian options that hit the spot. The cheese and mushroom toastie enjoys a loyal following, known for its crispy edges and wholesome flavors. Don't skip out on the freshly made waffles; flavors like Banana and White Chocolate or Cherry Delight receive particular praise. Diners appreciate the friendly service, making them feel at home, while the casual yet trendy atmosphere encourages relaxing meals. Additionally, the ability to pair dishes with a selection of beverages, including bubble tea and seasonal drinks, makes MeltAway a go-to café for any occasion.
Most Disliked
Some visitors have noted that during peak hours, the service can feel a bit rushed, particularly when the café is at capacity. Reservations are recommended for busier times. Parking may also be a hassle as paid parking is nearby, so planning ahead is wise. A few have mentioned that the Polish sausage lacks the punch in flavor compared to its English counterpart, but pairing it with mustard enhances the experience. Keep in mind, the café is more popular for lunch than dinner, which might result in a less vibrant evening atmosphere if you’re hoping for a bustling experience.

Been here twice now - the food is beautifully presented, fresh and delicious. My favourite so far has been the cheese and mushroom toastie. YUM! The decor is very pretty , cosy and they have some out door seating too. Service was friendly. A must if you are in Worksop! They also have a disabled stair lift inside to access the till.

Excellent food and decent portions. Even the toasties were just toasted really nice so you got good flavours and the right amount of crispness. The polish sausage was good, not as much flavour as an English sausage but nice with the mustard and chips. They’re coleslaw was nice and sweet. They did seem a bit rushed off their feet so went to the till to order for the table, not sure if they offer table service.

Five star cafe in the heart of Worksop - really creatively put together with an interesting and delicious selection of food, and a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy it in. Loved the gazebo area at the front with its outdoors-inside feel, hanging streetlamps, greenery and solid wood tables. The venue is split across two levels, and as a wheelchair user I was pleased to see a well positioned lift for easy access between the two. The bathroom is also fully accessible which is rare in smaller venues like this. The hot chocolate was delicious! The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. There is free WiFi too. All in all well worth a visit, I'll be back.
