The Cafe Awards

Brunch Spot of the Year Award

The weekend queue is worth it.

About this category

This award recognises a cafe known for outstanding breakfast and brunch, with a menu, quality and atmosphere people plan their weekend around. Judges look for the food, consistency at busy times and the customer experience.

Eligibility

Open to UK cafes and coffee shops serving breakfast or brunch.

Judging criteria

  • Food quality
  • Menu
  • Consistency under pressure
  • Service
  • Atmosphere

Qualitative criteria

Brunch people photograph and come back for.

Metrics

  • Covers
  • Waiting times
  • Reviews and repeat custom

Additional criteria

Entries should include a short description of the cafe or business, photographs of the space, food or drink where helpful, supporting figures such as covers, average spend, growth or reviews, and, where possible, comments from customers. Figures can be given as ranges and nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size and setting of every business, so a single counter kiosk competes on equal terms with a busy high street cafe or a small group.
