Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the main draw at this Ashford cafe, with reviewers pointing to the English breakfast and the Kennington special breakfast, the latter described as a very big amount of food. Close behind is the friendly, welcoming staff, mentioned in nearly every review, with one reviewer noting they chat to the grandchildren and that children's cutlery is available. Diners describe food that is cooked well, served hot, not greasy and made fresh, and several say it arrived quickly even when the cafe was busy. Portions are called huge and decent, and prices are repeatedly described as fair or reasonable. One reviewer ordered the chicken kebab with rice and salad and liked the flavours and the mild chilli sauce, while a visitor staying for the weekend returned two days in a row. Reviewers also mention a clean, tidy room and toilets, and a good menu with plenty of variety where items can be changed to order. No recurring complaints appear. One reviewer mentions ample free parking, and a traveller from abroad says they cannot wait to go back for breakfast.

“If you're local, I'm sure you already know of this amazing spot, but if you are traveling from abroad like we are, I cannot recommend this place more! Not only is the staff friendly and welcoming, the food is genuinely some of the best we've had on our trip. Everything is made fresh, and the quality is superb. Portions are huge! And the prices are incredibly fair. We cannot wait to go back for breakfast.”
