A Café, located on 22 Duke Street in Douglas, brings together two culinary worlds under one roof — offering both hearty breakfast classics and an extensive range of Chinese dishes. Whether you're stopping by for a comforting All-Day Breakfast or you're in the mood for delicious Salt & Pepper King Prawns, this welcoming spot caters to a broad variety of tastes, appetites, and dietary preferences.
The breakfast section of the menu includes familiar favourites like sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast, perfect for a relaxed start to the day or a satisfying brunch. Their omelettes, breakfast baguettes, and jacket potatoes come with various fillings including beef bolognese, chicken curry, or tuna mayonnaise, making for a filling but customisable meal that suits every preference.
A Café’s Chinese menu is vast and well-curated, offering everything from soup-based noodle dishes (including options like fish balls, beef satay, and roast duck) to stir-fried noodle favourites such as Singapore noodles, spaghetti-style stir-fries, and classic chow mein with sauce. Each dish is freshly prepared and available with proteins like pork, chicken, beef, prawns, or vegetables, allowing for plenty of variety. Customers can choose to enjoy their meals with rice, chips, or noodles, and there's even the option to upgrade to soft noodles for a small fee.
Appetisers like vegetable spring rolls, BBQ spare ribs, and deep-fried chicken wings serve as great starters or sharable bites. From crispy shredded beef to dishes prepared in Szechuan, black bean, or satay sauces, the Chinese offerings at A Café range from comforting classics to spicier, more adventurous plates. The menu is also inclusive, with vegetarian options like mixed vegetable curry, vegetable chow mein, and egg fried rice available.
If you're not in the mood for a full meal, you can grab a toastie, a light Manx cheddar sandwich, or a warming minestrone soup from the Bar Snack Menu. A Café also serves a great selection of both hot and cold beverages, ranging from classic teas and coffees to more niche drinks like Yuen Yeung (milk coffee with tea), bubble tea, mango juice, and even Chinese herbal tea.
Open six days a week from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, A Café is a casual, welcoming spot for dine-in or takeaway. Whether you’re popping in for a quick lunch, a comforting dinner, or a sweet drink to-go, A Café combines friendly service, affordable prices, and a menu broad enough to ensure that everyone finds something they’ll love.
