Homers is a straightforward, welcoming café tucked away at 5 Poolside in Madeley, Crewe. It’s the kind of spot locals drop into whether they’re grabbing a hearty breakfast before work or seeking a casual bite in the early afternoon. The atmosphere here leans on friendly familiarity rather than trendy flair – a place where the staff’s warm greetings set the tone from the moment you walk in.

The café clearly puts care into classic breakfast offerings. Several visitors highlight the sausage, black pudding, and bacon options as standouts, often paired with cheese in sandwiches or baguettes. Food arrives fresh and hot, with a homely feel rather than anything overly fancy. Portion sizes are satisfying without being excessive, and pricing feels reasonable for the quality and service delivered.

Service is a key part of the experience at Homers. The team behind the counter is noted for being not just efficient but genuinely cheerful and attentive, even during quieter closing times or busier mornings. This approachable friendliness helps make it a comfortable spot whether you’re dropping in alone or with colleagues from nearby workplaces.

Best times to visit seem to be in the morning or just past midday, catering to both those wanting a proper breakfast and those needing a quick, reliable lunch. The vibe is relaxed rather than rushed, fitting for a local café where people can settle in briefly without feeling hurried.

Homers is suited for anyone looking for straightforward, well-executed British café fare served with a smile. It’s a practical choice for workers in the area, early risers wanting a solid breakfast, or anyone who appreciates a no-nonsense, friendly corner café atmosphere in this part of Crewe.

WOW where do I start. This was the best sausage, black pudding and cheese sandwich I have ever had. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile and the two girls behind the counter were extremely friendly. The food was cooked to perfection and left me wanting more. I will definitely be returning and I urge anybody to try this place as I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. :-)

Popped in here as we were working in the area with 2 other colleagues we had a full breakfast each, we all agreed the food was absolutely banging and Katie and Claire were amazing, full of joy and very attentive, they deserve a pay rise, nice one ladies.

I had a beautiful sandwich from Homers this morning. The staff were polite, friendly & outgoing & I will definitely be returning next time I'm working in the area. I've given the atmosphere a 4 because unfortunately I was the only person in the shop at that time however it was only 09:50.
