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
Breakfast is the main draw at Cafe Rose, with reviewers singling out the big breakfast, the fried breakfast and a veggie breakfast, described as hot, fresh and tasty, and several call it good value. Staff are the close second, repeatedly called friendly, polite and welcoming, with table service and quick delivery of orders. A few mention clean tables and a light interior, and one points to Only Fools and Horses artwork on the walls. Complaints are specific. One reviewer found the catering sausages and salty beans let down an otherwise middling breakfast, another says everything in the veggie breakfast is fried in oil and can upset the stomach, and one reports a cheese and salad sandwich was priced higher than on an earlier visit, with the order already half made when the new price was quoted, so they left without it. One notes the cafe is cash only. Reviewers also describe it as a home style place where everyone is welcome, and one says a nearby car park drew them in.

“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”
