Joanies Kitchen — Restaurant in England

Disappointing After travelling from Leeds to do a painting job, I really wanted a home cooked breakfast before I started. Found this place and arrived around 9.15am. Looked clean and ladies serving were polite but that was it. No interaction. Only one other customer in a 20 seater cafe. Asked about the full English and told what items were on it (only scrambled egg option) paid £10+ for £7.85 breakfast and black coffee. Coffee arrived promptly but lacklustre in taste. Settled down to read whilst breakfast was freshly cooked. 5 minutes later the breakfast arrived. I think the delay was the toast being made. Clearly everything besides the toast was already made and just had to be reheated. The sausages were truly cheap & nasty, tinned wet mushrooms, microwaved hash brown. The scrambled egg was reheated and tasteless.The bacon and toast was ok. I tried to give a small business my hard earned money when other go to Greggs, McDonald's and Burger King but it is totally wasted here. For £10+ I would...

Seems like a nice little cafe for most.. Over priced in my opinion seeing as most cafes ive used we would spend the same amount and get drinks/snacks in at the cost not just sandwiches alone. (£11 for tuna melt panini and a bacon and egg sandwich)

All for people going out the box with recipies but would be nice to advise people on odd concoctions or state it in the menu so the choice to opt...

One of the best cafe's I have been in. And celebrating 20 years. I have gone there for 15 years. That speaks volumes. Prices are very reasonable. From breakfasts to lunch to cakes. And of course lovely coffee. I think looking at all the regulars, (and friends I've made) Joannie and her staff are doing something right. I know its been a lifeline for some elderley customers. I know you can't please everyone, but the greatest majority love it. Thank you. Many more...
