Day one of this new cafe and wow! I got the Mediterranean breakfast skillet (pictured) and it was excellent! Coffee is really good here also. Friendly staff and welcoming environment. Really looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!

We visited Cafe Janet in the morning, and it was such a delightful experience! The atmosphere was absolutely lovely, and we were pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and cosy it felt. We ordered two full breakfasts, and they were simply outstanding. The food was delicious, the drinks were fantastic, and everything was beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and ensured everything was served quickly and efficiently. If you’re looking for a great place to enjoy a tasty breakfast in a warm and friendly setting, I highly recommend Cafe Janet. This place is a true gem!

Popped in for a bite to eat and drink while my car is MOT'd. The cappuccino is out of this world! I would go as far as saying it's the best one I've had in the UK. I also had a bacon sausage and egg cob which was cooked beautifully Al for £6 pounds!!! Great price. Thank you

We came for the first time this morning since the new owners took over and were not disappointed. Eggs Benedict was the best I’ve ever had and my partner thoroughly enjoyed the Mediterranean skillet. The service was excellent and staff so friendly and welcoming. We can’t wait to return and try some of the Turkish cuisine on offer
