    I have been a customer for years in this place, despite the recent price increases, the prices are still very cheap in this cafe. The employees are very kind and polite, the food is always served hot and we were never disappointed. See you next time guys

    Excellent proper caff' located on the edge of Canterbury, Wincheap.. There aren't many great places to find an honest, decent breakfast around these parts, but this is one of them. And they're open on Sundays! Walking in off the street, you enter a clean, neat, simple eatery. Laminated menus offer standard fare: a number of set breakfasts, omelettes, sandwiches, lasagna, all the basics at reasonable prices. The friendly waitress took my order and quickly served our tea and coffee. Our dishes arrived pronto too; a table of 5 ordered ahead of us and roughly 10 minutes later we were ploughing through our large plates of food - Iooking for a great start to the day ... the place to be is Cafe Solo

    We come here every weekend to have breakfast with our big family group and it has an incredible atmosphere. Our breakfast came within five minutes of placing our order, it's super fast and the staff is friendly and warm. Other friends that I have recommended have also become regular customers of this place.

    Great value, excellent service and very clean. Staff immediately greet you and it's full table service. Tables are cleaned very quickly and you can just tell they are very service driven - you don't wait long for food and them to take plates away. Absolutely impeccable for a cafe and I highly recommend this place.

    Great place for a breakfast. More expensive than your Whetherspoons but higher quality food and always hot as its not sitting on the counter for 15 minutes! Service is also prompt, attentive and friendly. Worth a little extra!

    Excellent food, warm, friendly and surprisingly quick service for a big group of 7 and great value. One of the best coffees I have had for a long time and sandwiches and paninis were excellent. Highly recommended.

    I've been here for breakfast numerous times throughout the last 4 years and have enjoyed it on each occasion. Nice set combo menus to pick from and plenty of good ala carte choices too. Food comes out fast, tasty, and well-portioned.

    It was a pleasant experience, good food and the staff are very attentive. The food was so quick to deliver after the order was made. I walked in to a clean environment too and respectful staff. I would recommend a slight renovation or even adding flowers to the tables or candles but that's because I want this place to continue to receive customers and enjoy the food they make. I was very happy with the deal too, free coffee or tea with one of the breakfasts.

    Best service you will ever get, I got my cup of tea in 10 seconds!! Food came out extremely fast for someone who was in a rush this morning but wanted a cooked breakfast that wouldn't take long. See you again and again soon 🙂

    Friendly and efficient staff with quick service. I had a Sunday roast. Lots of tender meat. Nice and hot. Able to park in their car park. I asked for an Americano and wasn't given the option of large or small so was surprised when I was charged for the larger one and sadly roast potatoes weren't crispy.

    It doesn't look much from the outside, but once you get in you are welcomed in. The staff are friendly and very quick to respond if you have any questions. The food tastes really nice and we didn't have to wait long. I think it took them around 5 min to bring it. We had sunday lunch. I also had a coffee and it was lovely.

    Fantastic café! Friendly staff. Cheap prices. Had an amazing breakfast here. Some of the best fried eggs I have had in a long time: no burnt or crispy parts on them at all. I highly recommend coming here!

    Nice little spot for breakfast. Outdoor seating and parking on premises was a bonus! Staff are friendly and service was fast. Bonus is that their cappuccino was served really nice and frothy, which is hard to find these days it seems!!

    Been eating here for years.went today and what a shame. Prices up, ingredients swapped for obviously cheapest available,hot drinks not hot,"fresh" crusty bread not fresh. Sad to see, I'll be finding somewhere else to go from now on. Plus side staff very polite and friendly.

    We sat out side because I had my Jack Russell. The staff were friendly towards her and tried making friends but she is very protective dog because we brought her up in lockdown.

  • 1/5 L F. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely terrible. The staff are friendly enough but the food is shocking. Twice I have vowed not to come back and last time I gave it another chance it was worse than before. Snotty, cheap, low quality eggs. Dark brown hash brown cooked in old fryer fat. Chewy/cold low quality sausages. Cold beans hardly cooked. Bacon was okay but still not exactly hot. Oh and if you choose bread you will likely get some weird doughy stuff that once again hasn't been cooked properly. This place is terrible quality at best and hazardous to health at worst. No refunds given for terrible food. Will never set foot in that establishment ever again.

    Food was tasty, with good portion sizes. Will visit there again. Friendly and quick service.

  • 2/5 Pandora C. 2 years ago on Google
    My partner and I have eaten here before several times, we had breakfast this morning, more or less the same as before with one or two extras, which put the bill at £30.00, which would normally be £22.00. Going forward we will never eat there again as we count the price increase staggering.
