About TJ's Café

TJ's Café is an old-fashioned greasy-spoon café in Swindon, at Berkeley House. The Mega Breakfast puts sausages, bacon, eggs, black pudding, beans and toast on the plate with sauté potatoes and a mug of coffee, and hash browns are available in place of the potatoes. Breakfast baps come filled with black pudding, sausage and egg for anyone who wants a handheld version. Ham, egg and chips covers the plate-and-fork side of the cooked menu. Tea is served in a mug. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often come for the full fry up, especially the Mega Breakfast, with sausages, bacon, eggs, black pudding, beans, toast and saute potatoes, described as hot, freshly cooked and generous. Close behind are the breakfast baps, including one with black pudding, sausage and egg, and the ham, egg and chips. Others mention a latte and mocha, a takeaway sandwich, and tea served in a proper mug. Diners repeatedly describe an old school, truckers style cafe with friendly staff, good value and quick service, and one says the saute potatoes alone swung their choice. The complaints are few. One reviewer called it the worst breakfast in Swindon, citing overcooked bacon, soggy toast and a poor sausage in an empty cafe, while another found the sausages a little pasty. A third wished for cutlery at the tables rather than near the kitchen. One returning diner swapped the saute potatoes for hash browns on a second visit and singled out the bacon.

    “Love TJs cafe. Food is great and really good value. It’s a very well run basic cafe, like what we used to call a truckers cafe, or greasy spoon, but it’s exactly what you want nowadays, proper cuppa tea in a mug - amazing”
  • Nigel Jones
    “My first visit to this cafe, and last, worst breakfast in Swindon, cheap produce, over cooked bacon, soggy toast, shite sausage, £19.00 for the two of us, there was no one in the cafe, now I know why.”

  • Dan Mac
    “Stopped in for a takeaway sandwich. Very tasty and great value. Will definitely be back to try a full breakfast as these looked good! Lady serving was very friendly. Did look like it was closed but dont be shy to try the door..... you'll be glad you did 👌”
  • Kevin Jenks
    “Lovely transport type café. A very good choice of food on the menu and all freshly cooked. Reasonably priced as well. We stopped here both on the way to our Holiday in Worcestershire and on the way home. Highly recommended.”
