CUPHEAD Cafe sits quietly on Hilton Crescent in West Bridgford, blending the laid-back vibe of a neighbourhood coffee shop with the distinctive flavours of Hong Kong street food. This isn’t your typical café experience—while the coffee here is solid, the real draw is the unexpected fusion of Asian-style dishes with classic café fare.

Locals drop by for a relaxed breakfast or lunch where they can enjoy everything from an English Breakfast or avocado on sourdough toast to more unique offerings like homemade black pepper beef balls served with Shin Ramyun noodles or satay-coated beef noodles. The portions hit a comfortable balance—not too large but satisfying enough, especially paired with a side of eggs on toast, which feels like a local ritual here.

The atmosphere is unhurried and cozy, with attentive, friendly staff who seem to know their regulars by name. It’s the kind of spot where bringing your family is easy, and the menu caters thoughtfully to all ages—offering spicy dishes on the side so younger diners can join in without worry. Weekday mornings and early afternoons tend to be the best times to stop in for a quieter moment, while lunch hours buzz with a steady flow of neighbourhood workers and families.

For coffee and tea drinkers, there’s enough variety to please those who want more than just a simple espresso. Choices extend to Hong Kong-style milk teas, matcha lattes, and hojicha lattes, making it a handy place to escape to if you’re craving something a little different from the usual chain offerings.

Ultimately, CUPHEAD Cafe fits nicely in West Bridgford as a spot where café culture intersects with a taste of Hong Kong’s vibrant food scene. It draws those looking for authentic flavours alongside dependable coffee, in a setting that feels familiar yet refreshingly uncommon in this part of Nottingham.

Had a birthday lunch at this lovely cafe. The food & service are excellent & surprised me! Tried the authentic HK style food & iced lemon tea. I visited with my little girl and the spicy pork was served on side so that she could be able to share the instant noodle with me. I didnt expect the cafe owner prepared a handmade birthday topper on my toast! It was so lovely & made my day! (The cafe owner heard from my friend that it was my birthday.)

Lovely spot. Very nice and friendly staff. The coffee is good and the best is the ramen. Great that a blend of Asian and cafe has opened up in this area. The ramen with toast and eggs costs £9, which is good value. I will definitely be coming back again.

A great HK style restaurant at a strategic location opened by a lovely couple with a rich selection of milk tea and coffees. Surprised me with their attempt to bring Hong Kong style breakfast into the food menu. Delicious fresh with good quality noodles. You can feel their effort in bringing the best state of breakfast to customers. Be sure to sit at the counter to enjoy my mike tea or coffee. It's worth revisiting again for other foods and their speciality of coffees during tea time or for a short runaway from busy day.

The service, atmosphere and the coffee are nice. If my memories aren't very wrong, this is the first Hongkongnese café opened in the south bank of Trent River within the West Bridgford area. It's spacious, rooms for more imaginative development, co-op / co-work, etc. Keep it up. 加油。

A pleasant spot for a quick bite – great satay beef noodles & milk tea! Popped into this little cafe after a quick shop at the Co-op next door If you’re into a good bowl of noodles, I’d definitely recommend it. Their milk tea was also lovely with a nice strong brew, just how I like it. The service was quick and friendly. The only downside is that the parking was full when I arrived, so had to park a bit further away. Hopefully that’s just a timing thing. All in all, well worth a visit.
