Food is always top quality. They don't serve specific gluten-free meals, but I bring gluten-free bread, which they toast for me. There are plenty of other choices to choose from. The staff are friendly and helpful. Always have a lovely time when we meet up.

We were delighted to find JK’s Cafe on our last visit to England in September, 2022. We really enjoyed our meals, and the service was friendly and prompt. Great place! A year later we are back in Gravesend and wanted a hearty lunch. We raced over to JK’s Cafe before they closed and the three of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch. Two of us had a Full English and one had Bangers and Mash. The food was served piping hot and was delicious. Perfect!

My mate at the gym recommended this cafe to me. He uses it when he goes to the driving range. Was not disappointed, we had to wait for a table to become free, 40 plus people in cafe. I had the number 2 with chips, which arrived freshly cooked and hot. Coffee was also decent. Think i will re-visiting this great cafe very soon. If your passing definitely worth a try you won't be disappointed.

The food arrived incredibly quickly and piping hot. The coffee was excellent. The staff were warm, friendly, and exceptionally professional in their service. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the shop had a delightful floral fragrance. I was truly impressed. The owner himself came over to ask if we enjoyed the food, and he was absolutely remarkable. Thank you so much for everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been here a few times over the course of 2 weeks and I must admit the staff has always been friendly and inviting, the cafe itself has always been clean. The food is very nice with very decent prices, they even do FRESH Cumberland sausages which in my eyes is a massive bonus :)

Really enjoyed this place, very accommodating, really clean, friendly staff, felt like somewhere I'd been going to everyday instead of the first time. Great menu 👍🏼 lots of choices but not too many. Coffee ☕ was good, nice fresh crusty bread 🍞 my partner had a full breakfast, didn't get a photo though 🤦🏻‍♀️ just have to look at mine 🤣

A great cafe/ diner in Gravesend high street. Independently run with a friendly owner. Quite an extensive menu. I chose a jacket potato with beans and cheese. It was huge and came with a tasty salad. It's nice to find a menu that's not all chips. The cafe is bright,airy and clean. When I visited they were pretty busy but I see this as a good sign. My food came up quickly too and was good and hot.

Amazing find and highly recommended. We were met with a genuine, friendly and warm welcome by the owner and team. Good selection of tasty food at a very reasonable price. We had breakfasts and thoroughly enjoyed them. Nice to be served tea in a big mug too. We will stop by again when we're in the area.

A decent traditional, British cafe. Fair prices, and a good range of meals available. Friendly staff. I had a regular breakfast. The sausage was especially good for a regular cafe.

After going to a wedding, and staying in an expensive hotel, we came across this cafe on our way home back towards ashford, to find it was so retro, it was stunning. Very reasonably priced and the staff were absolutely fabulous, we were greeted with a smile and a hello and the service was very prompt, meals were hot, the bread was fresh and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. A great big thank you for taking us back to our childhood.

First time I'd been in here for several years but had an appt at Boots opticians at midday so needed a drink and lunch after. This was more or less opposite and the ideal place. Lovely selection of sandwiches/toasties etc. Staff very pleasant and excellent service. Will be visiting again thanks.

You'd be hard pressed to find a better bacon sandwich in town. I was really tempted by their enormous homemade sausage rolls too - they're packed full and look great. Really good cup of coffee too, from a proper espresso machine served in a lovely earthenware mug. But the best thing of all is Chrystal herself, or Faye. Her and her partner are so welcoming, friendly and willing to chat with their customers. You can see they get on well with all the other stallholders which makes for a lovely community feel in the market. I'll be going back regularly.

As you make your way to the counter, you will be enticed by a tasty selection of cakes. The service provided is warm and inviting, ensuring a pleasant experience for all.

Their “mega scottish breakfast” is a “full english breakfast” with a twist, one of the best breakfasts in town. Location is the indoor market hall, which is more noisy than your regular cafe, with cheesy music playing in the background.

The food was really tasty, good portion sizes too. I had an express breakfast. I've had to knock a star off for the bacon fat not being crispy and also because the breakfasts don't come with a tea/coffee and toast which is pretty much standard in any other Cafe I've been to. Also, they didn't have any dairy free milk options so wouldn't be a good place for a vegan to grab a cuppa!

A few years ago, I gave this cafe a poor review. I am now retracting that initial review as I think they must have been having a one-off bad day. I have since returned dozens of times, on doggy walks and credit when it-s due. The cafe girls always have a warm smile and take great care of their regulars and 4 legged friends. Plenty of seats outside plus an all-weather shelter. Hot and cold drinks, snacks and hot baguettes or sausage rolls. Certainly enough to cater for most. You can also buy dog treats at 10p each!

I have ordered my brunch from Sizzling Cafe via Just Eat and it was one of the best baguette that I have had ( with sausage, bacon , fried egg ). It has arrived quick and still warm. I will definitely order from them again.

Well im very sorry but i do disagree with the comment above . If we are busy lunch times which we frequently are we (staff) try are very best to serve the food on time , make your hot drinks asap an keep an overall happy atmosphere like u would expect when u come to dine at sizzling cafe . If u see us rushing around its because we are trying our best to make sure every thing is as it should be an the customers are happy with every thing . Which i might add they normally are an happy with the meals that are served to them . If we haven't got the time to chat to u for long I do apologise but bare in mind we are working an trying are very best to please every one . An the lunch times can b very busy . But overall customers are satisfied an happy with there meals daily . An always come back again to eat at the cafe .
