About Jethro Canteen

Burnley Street runs on Jethro Canteen, turning out precision batch brew and inventive brunch without the usual counter scuffle. Table service comes standard here. Regulars steer newcomers toward the chilli scramble with vegan chorizo or eggs benedict stacked over corn fritters and beef, while the pastry cabinet fuels quick mornings with haloumi rolls and ham toasties on buttered sourdough. A build-your-own toastie option and dedicated gluten-free bread keep dietary limits painless. They even keep a pay-it-forward board by the till—a community habit backing up a breakfast of double-patty beef burgers, crisp chips, and hot flat whites.

  • Community Table Hospitality: Diners skip the counter queues for full table service, complemented by an open suspended coffee program for the neighbourhood.
  • Inventive, Diet-Friendly Plates: Covers all morning bases with custom build-your-own toasties, gluten-free bread, and vegan chorizo chilli scramble.

  • Community Pay-It-Forward Program

    A community pay-it-forward and suspended coffee initiative lets visitors support neighbours by prepaying drinks.

    They have the option (as a few places do) that you can pay it forward with a coffee etc and I love that idea.

  • Dedicated Full Table Hospitality

    Full seated table service sets a relaxed communal dining tone that rare casual brunch cafes still provide.

    I really liked that we got table service, you don't experience that as much these days so really appreciated that!

    Chilli scrambled eggs was delicious and their toasties are just as yummy.

  • Eggs Benedict

    suggested I try their eggs benedict instead, which came on a corn fritter with beef instead of the usual bread. I’m so glad she did because it was absolutely delicious.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on timing morning coffee, dining gluten-free, and organizing group tables

  • Time Peak Morning Coffee Runs

    Morning takeaway coffee queues can build during peak rushes, so arriving slightly later in the morning helps ensure quicker turnaround times.

  • Inquire About Gluten-Free Bread Swaps

    Diners with celiac or gluten sensitivities can swap in high-quality gluten-free bread on toasties and order gluten-free versions of dishes like chilli eggs.

  • Book the High Table for Larger Groups

    If planning a team lunch or birthday gathering, reserve the dedicated high table in advance, which seats groups of up to twelve people comfortably.
