Pumpkin Cafe Blackpool

You know that feeling when you stumble off the train at North Station, probably running late, definitely needing caffeine? Thank god for this little orange-fronted caff that's become the unofficial welcome committee for anyone arriving in Blackpool via Talbot Road. The place has that proper no-nonsense vibe that makes it a favourite with locals heading to work and visitors who've discovered it beats the tourist trap cafés near the front. The breakfast here is proper decent – none of that fancy sourdough nonsense, just well-executed classics that'll set you up for the day. Whether you're grabbing a quick bacon sarnie before catching the tram down to the Pleasure Beach or settling in with a full English, they know what they're doing. Open seven days a week and busy from the moment they unlock the door at 7am.
