Hughies is an amazing and wonderful cafe, I personally can not praise it enough for how amazing it is! Everytime I go in town I will end up going hughies for lunch, and its a genuin highlight of my day! My grandma introduced me to the cafe when I was little and since then, its mine and my friends favourite cafe to visit on weekdays and saturdays! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful and its overall a great place to have lunch! (Or breakfast, full english is great)

Great wee cafe in Leicester city centre. Food was reasonably priced and good sized portions. We ordered the English Breakfast and toasties. The waitresses were friendly and attentive. Toilets are upstairs. Seating available up and downstairs.

Was 2 years in the waiting to go there again with my mum to catch up and have some great food too. Was so happy it has survived the pandemic struggles many businesses have. Lovely place hidden away from the hussles of the city and the Coffee not sure which one I had was amazing. Posted photo of said coffee.

Best cafe in Leicester. Great service with great prices a rare find. Cannot go wrong with their breakfasts and would highly recommend. The staff are all very friendly and professional. Definitely one for the list when out and about in town. You will not find better value for money anywhere. I look forward to coming back soon and leaving with a full tummy...YUM

This is one of my favourite cafes in Leicester, I mainly go there for the breakfast options that they sell throughout the day, but they have lots of other delicious food there too, including plenty of daily specials. The staff are very friendly and the food is always cheap and tasty, so it's a win, win, win for me.
