Never have I walked out of a cafe in my 62 years, most disgusting breakfast I've ever tasted, took one fork of the baked beans and that was it. My daughter had a baked potato that was hard, reheated and powdery white round the edges. The cafe itself had seen better days and one of the regulars was ranting to himself, swearing. He turned down my offer of a free breakfast. I didn't even have the energy to ask for my money back. Once bitten, twice shy. They must of paid for for their 5 star reviews because 5 star it is not?

Elizabeth Anne Hill

We had the Hillside bubble and squeak, unusual recipe and very satisfying. Would recommend.

A hidden gem, it is very easy to miss as it is down a side alley but it is definitely worth a visit.The atmosphere is good, it has quite a nice homely vibe as it feels comfortable and familiar even if you haven't been there before.The food is cheap, cheerful and good for filling an empty stomach. £1 for a cup of tea.Ken is a delightful gentleman to be around. I accidentally knocked over my coffee and he brought me a new one with an interesting anecdote about it not being too bad in the grand scheme of things so I shouldn't worry about it.I will likely come again on my next visit to Folkestone.

Had the worst cup of tea ever. Also chips were soggy and the ketchup was sweet.

Great choice of food. Reasonable prices. Ken is lovely and your doggie gets a dish of treats as well - bacon, sausage. Highly recommended

Ken is an old, retro guy, affable in his red-striped apron. Anyway, bad point first: the eggs were solid. So hard it must be deliberate by the tall blonde cook. Some people do prefer hard-fried eggs, I guess; but I prefer them runny. Hard eggs are eaten too quickly, and they remove the pleasures of mixing flavours by dipping. Other than that, it was a satisfying breakfast. Huge portions for £9, including a tea. Unusually, they do fried potatoes, so that was a rare treat. Grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, toast.

Ken the owner is terrific , a great Guy, Rachel just keeps going, really lovely woman, always got a positive attitude, the food is out of this world, cooked to perfection, it cannot be faulted in any way. Best place in Folkestone ?????
