Stranger secretly paid for everyone’s breakfast at cafe then quietly left

A stranger is being celebrated after he secretly paid for a whole café’s breakfast including fry-ups and cups of coffee, in an extraordinary act of goodwill.

The man – who will remain anonymous – footed the bill after he enjoyed a cuppa at the Market Café in Ulverston, Cumbria. After finishing his breakfast, he asked the member of staff if he could pay for everyone’s food and drinks. He didn’t want to make a song and dance about it, he just said he wanted to do something nice for the people in the café.

Joy McCormack, who has been running the café for four years said the kind gesture is what restores her faith in humanity. In total, the bill came to around £45, but it isn’t how much it cost which matters.

Joy said: ‘It was just an incredibly kind and wonderful thing to do. ‘We have a wonderful community here, and I think he was just touched by that. ‘I’ve never seen him before, he was just in his 30s, and there was nothing about him that stood out. He was just a nice man. ‘It was totally out of the blue, but it just shows there are some really good people out there. It was a lovely moment and it just restores your faith in humanity.’

After the event Joy posted online and said: ‘Yesterday a wonderful customer quietly paid for everyone in the café – they all got a lovely surprise! ‘Thanks to that kind man!’
