Anason Cafe

Anason Cafe settles comfortably into Glossop’s Norfolk Square, occupying a corner spot in the Old Co-Operative Building that lends it a quietly historic feel. This is a cafe that clearly thrives on a balance of good food, approachable service, and a calm atmosphere that invites visitors to linger, whether for a quick breakfast or a slow afternoon catch-up.

The emphasis here is on breakfast and brunch comfort with a distinctly Turkish twist. The menu highlights dishes like cilbir—poached eggs served with tangy yoghurt and seasoned butter—which stands out as a favorite among repeat visitors. Beyond that, you’ll find classic breakfast items, generous servings of coffee, and an array of vegan-friendly options that suit a variety of tastes. Customers appreciate having breakfast served late into the afternoon, making it a practical choice for those who enjoy a more relaxed start to the day or a brunch break after a morning stroll around Glossop.

Service feels genuine and unhurried, with staff often described as warm and helpful, consistent with a family-run ethos. That ease extends to the atmosphere of the cafe: the space itself is described as pretty and calm, offering pleasant views over Norfolk Square that help maintain a relaxed mood, whether you’re on your own with a cup of coffee or chatting with friends. The coffee offerings include Turkish coffee and Spanish coffee among others, with a note that some visitors wish for slightly larger servings or teapots instead of single glasses, hinting at an authentic but straightforward approach rather than fussiness.

Visitors tend to use Anason Cafe as a mid-morning or early afternoon stop, drawn by the mix of good-value breakfasts served until mid-afternoon and the relaxed vibe that makes it easy to return again and again. It fits well into Glossop’s local scene as a welcoming, no-nonsense spot where food is well made and presentation catches the eye without overshadowing the friendly atmosphere.
