Quick info
About Cafe Rose
Cafe Rose sits behind the main shopping area on Church St in Maidstone, with a car park opposite for those stopping in. Only Fools and Horses themed artwork covers the walls throughout the room. Orders are taken at the table from a menu that runs from a cheese and salad sandwich to a large fried breakfast, served with beans, sausage, and a choice of hash browns or chips, with veggie versions fried in oil. Tea comes by the mug alongside breakfast. The cafe is cash only, and it takes walk-ins rather than bookings.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the fried and big breakfasts, repeatedly described as cooked well and good value, with several singling out friendly, quick service and clean, welcoming surroundings. Close behind, the veggie breakfast gets praise too, though one diner notes everything's fried in oil and can upset the stomach. A large breakfast with chips instead of hash browns drew a mixed reaction, with catering sausages and overly salty beans marked as letdowns even as the same reviewer praised the service. One reviewer describes a soured experience over a simple cheese and salad sandwich, whose price rose between visits and was assembled, in their account, without gloves, leading them to walk out and say they wouldn't return. Otherwise, staff are consistently called polite and welcoming, tables are kept clean, and several first-time visitors say they intend to come back.

“The first time I went there I ordered a cheese and salad sandwich (sliced white nothing fancy). It was ok and cost about a fiver. Went back today a couple's of months later to order the same and the lady behind the counter firstly looks surprised that I would like to order a sandwich, then starts making it by grabbing the ingredients with her bare hands, then half way through this assembly it goes to the till, presses a few buttons and asks me for £6.40. I declined their new price and wasn’t prepared to stand there haggling for a cheese sandwich. So I left 2 stars for the ok sandwich first time Zero stars for today’s experience. Will never go back.”

“Eat a veggie breakfast. Good, but be aware everything’s fried on oil. Can be a little upset to the stomach. But generally good”
