Customer Review Summary

Breakfast draws the most praise, from one diner calling it the best they have had in Hull to a group choosing it for regular meet ups, with portion size singled out. Close behind are the friendly owner and staff, mentioned repeatedly. Lunch and tea items also earn mentions: a ploughman's lunch, a corned beef sandwich with side salad and potato salad, a lasagne, milkshakes, and an afternoon tea with Yorkshire curd cheesecake and sandwiches with so much filling. Home made cakes, scones and puddings have a few reviewers planning return visits. The complaints are specific. One breakfast diner found the bacon burnt and rock hard and the sausages tasting old, and another described the quiche from the specials board as a small piece with very little salad and a dollop of tasteless coleslaw. Against that, one business group had nearly 50 breakfast sandwiches arrive on time at its networking event and plans to order again.

    “Honestly, absolutely disgusting behaviour from the manager. I came in the other day and was shocked by how rude and unprofessional he was towards his staff. I was speaking to one of the staff members and all I could hear was the manager constantly shouting their name and barking orders at them. It was incredibly rude and uncomfortable to witness and the staff genuinely seemed stressed and under pressure. The food was just as disappointing. The bacon was burnt and rock hard and the sausages tasted old. I was sat on table 8 and went in for what i thought would be a lovely breakfast but unfortunately my morning was ruined. As a manager, he should be setting an example and treating his staff with respect, but his attitude was absolutely appalling. There is no excuse for speaking to people like that. The whole experience was awful, and I certainly wouldn’t recommend this place based on the service, food and completely unprofessional management.”
  • Tom Godber
    “We recently used Robbie Johnson’s Cafe to cater for one of our Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce networking events, providing nearly 50 breakfast sandwiches, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service. Everything arrived at our event location on time and ready for the morning, and the sandwiches were absolutely delicious. Catering for a large group isn’t always easy, but the whole process was seamless, reliable and professionally handled. The team were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout, and we were really impressed with both the quality of the food and their ability to cater for an event of this size. As one of the largest business organisations of our kind in the region, we’re always pleased to support and recommend excellent local businesses, and Robbie Johnson’s Cafe certainly deserves the recognition. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality catering in Hull. We will certainly be using them again for future events. Keep up the fantastic work!”

    “It’s rare you get a cafe with such a nice owner but the owner here was so kind, polite, attentive and showed compassion to contractors in the hot weather. Lovely drinks and snacks and would come back again!”
  • Charlie Waddy
    “Me and the wife went in this morning and I must say its the best breakfast I've ever had in Hull CC Staff were pleasant and very helpful. The owner was a proper gentleman”
  • Susan Ford
