Shelly B's Cafe, Rochdale

This particular cafe is argued to serve the best breakfast in Rochdale. I have not tried them all, but can only vouch for the fact that it would take a lot of beating.
Today's visit was for lunch with a friend (he was paying, so even better!). I opted for the gammon, egg, chips and peas, which at £4.50 is excellent value for money and, as you can see from the photos, very nicely done. In fact, writing about it now, just three hours later, I could happily go back in and eat it again (that definitely doesn't mean it did not fill me, just that it tasted so good).
A very recent addition to the cafe is a new coffee machine, which I have left far too long to go and sample. Just another reason for dropping in today.
The picture does not quite show the ample proportions, and a good sized cup is always a good thing.
Taste of the blend used is similar to a Starbucks flavour, so will appeal to many and, with a good frothy foam, generous chocolate sprinkle and appropriate strength for a cappuccino, made for a very enjoyable experience.
Close to both the bus station and the town centre tram station (2 minute walk), this is an ideal place to start of a visit to the town with a good breakfast, break for a hearty lunch, or finish off with a coffee before heading home.
If you do call in, say hello to Shelly from me!
Comes highly recommended.
