I would like to recommend Cafe Loco, it does great breakfast cobs (the smallest ones are huge and the biggest ones are like dustbin lids!) and will take orders for collection or delivery. The cafe is very clean and you always get a friendly welcome. You can also get lovely jacket potatoes, a good breakfast (with best back bacon), burgers, chips and light fluffy omelettes. They also do cold cobs and sandwiches and EVERYTHING is made fresh to order in an open plan kitchen area. It's about 5 minutes walk from town but definitely worth it.
