Best KPortal Reviews

Great place to eat, reasonably priced for good home cooked food. Really large portions. So great value for money. Had a lovely roast lamb dinner.
The service is brilliant, the owner is really hard working and has had the cafe since 1975, he is such a happy, helpful caring person. All staff are great and hardworking and always helpful.
The atmosphere is great friendly and cosy atmosphere.
Situated in the heart of Folkestone near the shops and near the old high street.
Friendly helpful service,a good tasty breakfast, no thrills but good value. Returned and you can get pick your items on a breakfast,great value, not greasy, dog friendly cafe that always brings out a bit sausage for my dog.returned a year later but very greasy.
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????
An amazing place! The atmosphere is unique. Ken is such a gentleman and the members of staff are so sweet.
This is the best cafe in Folkestone. You should definitely visit it!
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.
Lovely and pleasant cafe that is frequented by the local community...
Was there for an early meeting and thought I'd give this place a try... Located quite centrally in Folkestone this place is what you expect from a cafe with a nostalgic decor and atmosphere...
The staff were lovely and friendly, with equally pleasant service... I had ordered the scrambled eggs on toast with a glass of orange juice and it was what I needed to start the day off...
Very reasonably priced food with lovely staff who has a close connection to the local community and make everyone feel welcome...
Proper British cafe, literally can't go wrong. Great prices with really friendly staff and Ken, who I hear is the owner gets involved with everything, checked our meals where good, cleared our plates in good time. Can't fault the place and will be back!
An oldy weldy Caffe Ken is a great character we were made very welcome good food and not over priced will definitely go back
