Our first visit to this lovely cafe, great menu choice, was difficult to chose what to have to be honest. Went for a delicious jacket potato with melted cheese, and a New Yorker sandwich plus tea for two, the homemade cakes looked wonderful, but we didn’t have room, maybe next time. Didn’t have to wait long for drinks or food, all delivered with a smile, you can tell the folks working there are in their “happy place” seldom seen/felt nowadays. We’ll certainly re-visit this 5 star establishment, thanks again 😊

Excellent friendly service with good prices and a broad range of food options. Clean and fairly quiet..no annoying music! The coffee is good, the details (such as the sealed napkin and knife combo) thoughtful and sensible. The chairs are comfortable, the tables clean.

A beautiful little cafe with excellent customer service, friendly workers and delicious food and drink. The Kings and Queens breakfasts are exquisite. Keep you filled up for the day!! The only downside is the leather napkin holders! These need to go!! Old fashioned and dated! Will definitely visit next time I am working in Grantham. Thanks for having me.

I haven’t visited the Kings Walk Cafe in easily 12 years and feel the name is incorrect. This cafe is ran like a high end restaurant. Amazing table service, polite and efficient staff and the man who I presume is the manager/owner is giving just the right amount of attention to the customers. Food checks came fast enough to remedy the potential issues but slow enough for me to actually start to eat. However the checks were not needed as the food was exactly what I ordered, hot and nicely presented. The prices are more than reasonable. There’s a great atmosphere, partly due to the clean, nicely decorated and lit interior but mainly due to the staff that couldn’t do enough to ensure I had a nice experience. Having working in hospitality there’s a saying that it’s very easy to leave a bad review but you have to do something exceptional for someone to go out of their way to leave a good review. I will be returning, this is certainly one of the better if not best Dinning experiences in Grantham. Thank you for making a dull and miserable day feel warm and uplifting!

I ordered the beef burger and extra chilli dip. 100% Aberdeen Angus it may have been, lean it was. However it was overcooked and a big disappointment because of it being dry and tough as a result. Such a waste of quality beef. The dip was delicious, but 2 or 3 teaspoons of it, half-filling an egg-cup size pot,for £2.50, well this is poor value in my opinion. Tiger chips were excellent taste. Served in a vertical container/cup is something I don't really care for, and a few more would have been most welcome. However, some of my colleagues had the full English and these looked tremendous, the look and volume made me wish I had ordered this too. They were well delighted.The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and buzzing downstairs. Upstairs is clean but a little bleak. Staff were very helpful, and smiley, which I liked a lot.

Just over a year ago I worked nearby and would get a jacket potato with cheese most days - always hot and tasty. At that time I would have given the cafe 5/5. Around a month ago I was walking past mid-morning and fancied a bacon sandwich, especially as the takeaway menu categorically states crispy bacon. So popped in and ordered a bacon sandwich on white. Got home (about 3 minutes walk away), opened the foil to find a sandwich made with multi seeded bread and bacon that had barely seen a pan (if you look at the photo you can see the unrendered white fat sticking out the bottom right of the bread). Today had stuff to do in town and then a busy afternoon planned so decided to get a jacket potato with cheese to takeaway - especially as only had good ones before. Got home - as I say, only about 3 minutes walk away - and opened up the box to something that bore no resemblance to the potatoes that I’ve always had from there before. Minimal topping and I had turned down the option of having it melted at the cafe as even in these few minutes the heat of the potato should have started to melt the cheese - but the cheese was still in it’s solid, unmelted state. On cutting into the potato I found out why. Although parts of the potato were hot, the majority was tepid at best. Maybe I’ve just been unlucky but based on my last two experiences I can not recommend this cafe.

We had arranged to meet someone here who was arriving by train from London and we had driven down from Doncaster. From photo's we had seen it seemed a nice cosy place to wait over a coffee on a dreary Autumn day. It proved correct. On walking in the door we were greeted with smiles from staff and from a couple whom we took to be regulars. We explained we were waiting for someone else to join us but would have a coffee and it proved to be the best coffee we had all day of our visit to Grantham. We had intended to move on once our friend enjoyed her coffee but after looking at the menu we decided to stay for lunch and so glad we did. The chicken salad was plentiful with a lovely selection of salad and veggies and lots of moist chicken. The beef panini and bacon, brie panini were both cooked to perfection, moist inside with a crispy crust. All excellent value and served with a smile.We couldn't have chosen a better place to meet and eat lunch. Thank you to your excellent team.

Mark and Leza invited customers for mulled wine and “pigs in duvets” baps. Like everything they do it was done with professionalism and total class. They took over Cafe Bilboe, (now Kings Walk Cafe) and everything that went with that name in Grantham (Mr and Mrs Bilboe were synonymous with fantastic food), they have taken 18 months to do their “own thing” !! They should be very proud of what they have achieved. The Cafe looks amazing, the food is fantastic, and the owners and staff very welcoming !! Keep it up, wonderful.....

We've been regulars here for a number of years - both under the Bilboe's ownership and now with Leza's gang. The menu is wide-ranging and the food is consistently top-notch. Special mention for the sandwiches; the excellent paninis; and (most recently) the positively naughty pancakes. For us, the key point is - the friendly atmosphere and the warm welcome (which everyone gets, customers both new and old). The interior decor is a work-in-progress but that doesn't detract at all. We often pop into other cafes around the town - but always gravitate back to Bilboes!

WOULDNT DREAM OF GOING BACK THERE IN A MILLION OF YEARSSSSS....... which is a shame as been there so many of times. Absolutely disgusting/rude manager! Never in my life have I been spoken to like that's. I am a 30year old mother who's worked since the age of 16! And made to feel like scum and can't control my child. I feel so upset how a retail worker can have such an opinion on me and my child and feels to need to..... I would understand if my child was disturbing other customers and running /shouting around the cafe but my 3 child sat and didn't move off his seat. Soon as me, my friend and our children (both aged 3) walked in the manger gave us a dirty look. We sat down and she came over for our order with no manners what so ever. My little boy asked her for a cheese sandwich please and she looked at me and said whattttttt! My 3 year old is a well speaker/polite and she was just being funny. While we was waiting like any normal children my little boy and his friend was talking to each other they was a little loud but me and my friend said talk quietly as it's a small cafe. There was about 4 people in the cafe , she then come up and said you need to tell THEM to be quite people are complaining and control them. We was both shocked. Other people in there was smiling at us and wasn't bothered , Not one person went up to her but we continued to get dirty looks. I felt so uncomfortable and didn't want to eat my lunch, we ended up leaving some and didn't even drink our drinks. She didn't come over to us and say please could you ask them toBe abit quite.... no manners nor customer service skills , there's a way of speaking to people especially when there paying for there service.We decided to go as it felt so uncomfortable and she was telling people to go upstairs as they was to nosy. When we went up to pay (even tho I didn't want to) she then said them boys are not welcome in here again , there uncontrollable and you can'tControl your children in a angry manner. I am a professional who works with patient everyday , I wouldn't dream of speaking to patients like that!!! It's disgusting how she can be like that to paying costumers.She said in a stern way... jacket, sandwich and a drink! No please or thank you. I have never known anything like it I was so shocked, I still am. I feel so down about this. My little boy is well mannered and does get told off if he is naughty and I do have control. She has made me feel worthless and like scum. The way she spoke to me/my friend and our children/the looks is beyond me. My own mother has never spoke to me like this. I would advise you if have children do not go there!

The food is so fresh, with a good choice on the menu & they were helpful in adapting to my vegan needs. The service is attentive, & on our 3 visits in the year or so since we discovered it, can't be faulted. Keep up the good work! Anyone who has anything negative to say about this popular, friendly little cafe must have very strange ideas!

From reading the other reviews I am very disappointed that my visit here did not meet up to the expectations. I was not pleased with the customer service or the quality of the food. Due to the other reviews I'm going to put this down to a one off issue but I will not be returning

So this place is my mum's favourite cafe and I can definitely see why. It has a great selection of food and drinks, quick service and the atmosphere is really cosy. Like many cafes, ordering is done at the counter (informing them of your table number) rather than someone coming to your table.My one niggle is that it is on the more expensive side of cafes - toasted tea cake was £2.15, jacket potato with cheese £4.95 (as noted on menu, didn't order). In fact two drinks and a toasted tea cake came to £7, which I didn't think was value for money - as noted, you had to order at the counter and we also had to go back to the counter to pay.Was the quality of food good? Yes, no doubt - but I didn't really feel I got value for money. There are other cafes in Grantham I will try out before coming back to this one again.

This is the third Christmas lunch I have had here. Excellent. You can have either 2 or 3 courses. Everything is freshly made & served, no waiting because you are given a set time. Delicious.

Went in for a quick coffee, looked at the price so decided against it as there are so many other places around the location considerably better priced, didn't want to appear strange so I picked up a small bottle of banana yazoo, the smallest one. It was £1.50!!! 3 times more expensive than the shop across the road! Avoid this place or just throw your money away. It's the same thing.

My Mum and I decided to go to lunch here a few weeks ago as we hadn't been before. Needless to say, it was that good we have returned. Lovely little cafe with indoor, outdoor seating and takeaway. The bacon butties are definitely the best in town! Fab place for lunch, tea, snack or just a drink. Staff friendly and good prices. Cakes looked delicious. One of our top places to eat in town.

We stayed in Grantham a week visiting family. They recommended Cafe Bilboe to us on our second day there, and we had breakfast every morning until we left. We loved it that much. There coffee was wonderfully hot. Loved their eggs on toast with bacon and their scones were delicious. Almost as good as my Granny's. I would highly recommend Cafe Bilboe.

This is a splendid Café in the heart of Grantham. A great place to visit for a Coffee, a snack a lunch - or their speciality breakfast. This is very well presented and is great value for money.

My mum and I decided to go for lunch here as I'd never been before. We browsed the menu and I chose the pâté, it was absolutely delicious and served with thickly sliced toast, I would have happily eaten more if I could have fitted it in! For seconds I had the chocolate mousse cake, this was very sickly and a little dry, but would probably be suitable for a chocoholic!Although the food was delicious our trip could have been made better if the staff were a bit more friendly!However I will be going back just for the pâté!

Lovely little cafe with tasty home made cakes. The coffee and walnut cake with my latte was luscious. The staff were really pleasant and the ambience was very peaceful. You can always sit outside if the weathers good. The menu offers a wide range of snacks and meals.

This was a real goldmine to find - tucked away near the St George's Centre, you can miss it if you don't know where it is. Having eaten there several times I can highly recommend. The food is excellent and everything is cooked on the premises, so you may have to wait a while but it is very well worth it. Excellent value for money and the cakes are to die for !They have some outside tables, inside and a few upstairs as well. It looks small but big on value and taste. All the staff are friendly and helpful.They serve a variety of teas/coffees and other drinks. They have high chairs for the children and will accommodate food intolerances. The variety of cakes are delicious and include Gluten free. I can highly recommend their Coffee and Walnut cake - so much so I took an extra piece home with me! Well worth a visit.

Got to be the best in town.Visit regularly & always enjoy light snack ,coffee etc.The home made tray bakes are to die for !! try one (or two).Staff are always very welcoming & something from the deli counter is well worth a try.Have tried all the other cafes in town & none can match BilboesJust one little negative - on busy days if you have to eat upstairs unfortunately there is always a 'haze' of greasy spoon air coming from the kitchen that tends to cling to your clothes - please Mr Bilboe get the extractor fan going or shut the kitchen door -other than that you cannot improve WELL DONE

How can someone make soup and a sandwich taste so good? Well, Cafe Bilboe manages it every time. Still a great place to eat (even the subtle background music is good) and relax. Excellent value, good variety, spotlessly clean and fast, efficient service from friendly staff. Don't miss it next time you're in Grantham. Try the soup and sandwich...if you can get there before it all goes! ;)
