The staff are very friendly, polite and attentive. Service was great and quick. Food wasn’t that bad so i can say wow. Very reasonable price and well worth a visit if you are looking for a quick bite when shopping in Ashford.

Ate here again today. They were very accommodating to my sons dietary needs and kept checking with us about all the food. I took my own buns in but they didn't mind, they appreciated it. It goes to show, speaking to the venue about specific dietary needs, can certainly help. My son and his friends were very happy, so thank you all very much for your service ❤️

One of the longest running eating places in the town and still the best by far. None of the newbies come close to the food quality and staff. Great coffee every time. Served by some of the friendliest staff I have ever seen. They will take a few minutes to chat if you want and they way they take time to chat with their elderly customers is wonderful .

Omelette, salad and toastie were nice and filling. Cooked breakfasts...not so much, the tinned beans were the best part. Bacon was hardly cooked and eggs were not 'eggy'. The yolks were hard.

Not recommended. Eggs where cooked in a dirty pan. Bacon was basically boiled then put on a hot grill for 5seconds. Hash brown soaked in oil. Beans were watery. All the ingredients were very cheap.

The red brick effect wallpaper is history in a brighter interior. Cafe Express had only been open 3 days when I visited due to redecoration, and no specials were available. I was able to order roast pork, and cheesecake and ice cream in place of apple pie. I was given a soft drink can free as my total order could not be met. Clean and moderately busy with enough distancing. The upper floor is not often used except for toilets. A long standing cafe with regulars plus office and shop worker takeaways of coffee etc. The seats nearest door mainly for coffee and tea are least used.

Since the new owners took over , the cafe has gone extremely downhill, food isn’t the same . One member of staff starts asking questions about our son (how old is he where is he from etc) which we thought was a little odd, constantly messing orders up and food always comes with a puddle of oil underneath. Not the same as it was when I was growing up. Sorry but we will not be returning. 0/10

Went here with 5 family members including 2 children. No table big enough to sit us all. Although they are fairly close together so not to big a problem. They used to do “All you can eat” breakfast but that seems to have been taken off the menu. Ordered breakfast for 5 of us. One is celiac and we didn’t want to risk it as there was no mention of it on the menu. My breakfast wasn’t cooked the sausages were raw in the middle. I sent it back and they replaced it minus the hash browns. These arrived after. The staff are nice and friendly and handled the issue with professionalism. However I was Really disappointed!!

The consistency of this well liken restaurant has taken a noise dive. I had my normal bacon eggs & chips, but my wife's port roast was bad. Lots of fat & little meat, with cold roast potatoes, we will try again, but there will have to be a significant change in quality before we try a roast dinner.

I like to treat myself to a cooked vegetarian breakfast a couple of times a month and used to use the cafe in BHS. Sadly when BHS closed I was lost for a place to eat as most of the other cafe's could not provide me with a strict vegetarian option. However by pure chance I ended up having breakfast with a visiting friend who was staying nearby and I have continued to frequent ever since. The best thing about Cafe Express is that you can choose whatever you want from the menu without being restricted, so if you fancy just having a plate of eggs, then that's fine, you don't have to order the full trimmings. They also do not have a cut off time for food, so if you want breakfast at 4 in the afternoon you can. I am very strict about the cleanliness of where I eat and these guys have a 5 star food rating which is perfect. It's always busy, but always has a space and sometimes I have been taken by surprise as to how quick they have prepared the meals, especially with being so busy.

This place is an institution. Whenever we have visited over the past 16 years, it always feels like it has kept many of its customers for many years more than that! The staff never fail to be cheerful and apparently happy in their roles. The bubble and squeak breakfast is delicious and they definitely make a great cup of coffee. The value is amazing and we will be back time and time again.

Fresh cooked and hot. There is a lot of it if you order right. My favorite place for breakfast where you will put on pounds. Lunch is extremely good value as well. Food is excellent.

I have memories of Ashford Town, and have not been here for two decades, so it has changed a lot. The one-way traffic system as was is now a two-way system, and the town center is more or less completely pedestrianized. Just popped into the Natwest, not enough tills open, came out and saw the Café Express with its advert for all day Breakfasts. It was about 1.30pm and the fruit yoghurt I had for break-fast seemed a long time ago. Checked the outside menu and decided on the Brunch Break-fast. Went inside and stood by the pay-till as I was not sure whether it was counter or table service. A waitress (Ria) who was sitting at a table by me, who it would appear had just finished her lunch, said, "Sit here, you can have my table". I must say very well mannered and a lovely smile. The banter between the staff and the boss was humorous. The breakfast was well cooked on a hot plate, and went down well with a glass of water. (Bottled). I would visit the café again. I am a stickler for a good English Breakfast, so I am not sure why the last few reviews were so bad. That's life.

While Ashford has fewer redeeming qualities for leisure and social places/activities when compared to it's more illustrious neighbours that I have lived in or used regularly, such as Canterbury and Maidstone, one thing it does knock spots off them with is the number of good quality cafes/greasy spoons. Compared to other towns in Kent, Ashford is blessed with excellent cafes, and this is one of them. There is a very good range of breakfast options, and the Build Your Own breakfast is perfect for those who are very particular about their choices. My breakfast was very nicely cooked, promptly served and left me feeling very satisfied. It was very busy when I visited on Christmas Eve morning, and there appeared to be a lot of regulars and town centre employees using it, which is a good indicator that it is a successful place to eat/drink, which I would agree with based on my visit. Staff were friendly and efficient, and were coping very well with the very busy custom. I'd definitely recommend and return if passing by.

All that as well as a #4 Food Hygiene Rating. If you're in the Ashford area, pop in & give it a go.

We have been coming here for years and in the past it was good food for good value. Not so now. On our last three visits we have sent back fried eggs as very undercook. They just cannot fry an egg. Also some of the staff cannot make coffee. On our last visit we asked for a cappo and got what looked like muddy water with no taste. The place was empty and we are sure fresh coffee was not used. We left it and wont be going back. Shame because it was a good place.

The food is nice but overpriced for what it is. Bread, milk and orange juice from Iceland store then sold on at twice the price. Eggs are clearly not free range and probably battery eggs also from Iceland. I have no issue paying a higher price providing the ingredients are of a higher quality.

When on a Christmas shopping trip with my daughter this week we needed a break and to refuel for round two of the local shops. After trying a couple of other cafe's in town to see what food was on offer we ended up in here. We both said that we should have known to come here first as it doesn't matter what time of the day and wether its quiet or busy, you still get great service and good food. after years of eating in this cafe nothing changes (only the staff) this is one of very few cafe's that have got it right.

If you find yourself in need of a full English breakfast then this is the place to come (our usual choice at a weekend) Plenty of seating too as the cafe stretches upstairs and some tables and chairs outside the front which is great in the summer.

So good I can't put it into words. I have fond memories of this place when it was Gizzis. My Mum would always bribe me with a strawberry milkshake at Gizzis to get me to come to Ashford and help carry her shopping bags. Nowadays it's every bit as good as I remember it being. Lovely quality food, amazing good value, friendly service, charming waitresses, very good waiting times. Also very clean. And Bruce has a very good repartee with his customers. The prices are that good it's bordering on incredible. All day, all you can eat breakfast £5.99. Proper coffee in an old fashioned glass mug is £1.80, compared to about £4.50 in Starbucks. Today my wife and I had lunch. She had a prawn mayonnaise baguette with salad, I had sausage egg and bacon baguette with salad. Both were bursting with filling and were a foot long. I had a mug of tea and my wife had a tin of Lilt. The bill.....£8.90. Amazing. The choices are refreshingly simple, egg and lettuce, corned beef and pickle, cheese, ham salad, etc. Pleasingly 1970s. None of this feta and capers nonsense. I can't speak highly enough of the place. But it has been a successful business since the 1950s so I think that speaks volumes. :-)

A splendid restaurant, clean wholesome food. I am in my 65th year, and have been going in there for years. Staff Jane and Mark fantastic service but restaurant would benefit from nicer decor i.e wallpaper rather than the 'fake brick' paper that has been hung really badly (complete with bubbles) and seating resprung and upholstered. I have been using the restaurant for over 50 years and the food is still wonderful, but keep it looking smart like it did in the 1960's

An einem Samstag im Dezember waren wir bezüglich kurztrip in Ashford unterwegs. Irgenwann gegen Nachmittag packte uns dann der Hunger. Wir klapperten erst ein Lokalitäten ab bevor wir uns dann für eines entschieden.Von den Preisen her sagte uns das Cafe Express zuerst zu. Also gaben wir dem eine Chance. Schon als wir reinkamen wollten wir zuerst in die obere Etage, aber da sagte uns schon eine Mitarbeiterin (ohne Begrüßung), dass oben gesperrt sei. also mussten wir unten Platz nehmen. In diesem Schnellrestaurant war es kalt. Wir bestellten dann Knolauchtoast und ein Hähnchengericht. Als der Toast kam probierten wir. Er sah schon sehr unappetitlich aus und war auch noch kalt. Ich beanstandete dies beim Kellner. Dieser wies die Angestellte an sich um dieses Problem zu kümmern. Sie nahm den angeschnittenen Toast Wortlos auf brachte ihn in die Küche und kam nach 20 Sekunden mit eben diesen Toast zurück und knallte ihn Wortlos auf den Tisch. Da war dann auch schluß. Ich Beschwerde mich beim Kellner, dass ich diesen angeschnittenen Toast nicht annehmen werde, welcher sowieso schon sehr unappetitlich aussah und nach 20 Sekunden Mikrowelle wieder von der unfreundlichen Bedienung gebracht wurde. Wir bezahlten dann den Eistee nahmen die Flaschen mit und gingen.Der Service ist dort sehr schlecht. Das Essen ebenso und kalt. Bedienung unfreundlich.

The café, which I often visit if in Ashford, was unusually quiet, perhaps due to school holidays.Normally I pick one of the two daily specials, but neither liver, bacon & 3 veg (£5.50) or Cauliflower cheese (£2.99) were as good as a roast for £5.95. They offer all day breakfasts, either set, or as much as you can eat combinations for £5.99. Also salads, soups, and kids meals. Four of these can be served free if an adult spends £6.99 or more. Sweets can be ice cream or hot crumbles, spotted dick etc. The upper overflow is rarely used except the toilets. The Café is hygiene rated 5 and has a loyal following. Usually people wanting just coffee and cakes sit in the front part by the server, or for waitress service at the rear. Wi Fi and captioned TV is there to divert the bored. If you have found Mecca Bingo you are nearly there.

Visited this cafe recently, food is average, coffee was not great (too weak for me, probably okay for a non coffee lover) its very busy packed full of every person in Ashford who is aged 70+ so they must be doing something right but who the hell thought it was a good idea to recently cover the walls with fake brick wallpaper!! This building has amazing retro features dating back many decades but is being totally destroyed by the current owners with awful signs, tat, plastic ceiling tiles and red brick wallpaper (needs to be seen to be believed)

Every time we go to the cafe I'm blown away by how friendly the staff are and how they recognise a lot if people the service is second to none and the food is so nice and always very hot

Café Express has just had an overnight wallpapering to express a red brick wall. Hmnn. The front area is mainly self service for light snacks, the interior a full range of full English and cooked lunches with waitress service. There is a range of 15 breakfast items on eat as much as you like for £4.99 but customers are asked not to over order! There are a pair of daily lunch specials, mine being chicken and mushroom pie and 3 veg. £5.50. A full range of beverages and soft drinks. My pancake with cherries had real cherries but the pancake looked more like a sponge floating on syrup. A child under 13. eats free if parent spends £6.99 or more. There is free wi fi and a little used overflow upstairs with the toilets. Always busy with locals and quite fast service

The food dished up here is excellent and at a super price. Keep in mind that this is a café but the service here is second to none.

£4.99 for as much as you can eat off the breakfast list (which includes chips!!). The staff obviously know the regulars and assist all the old / less able as well as calling them by name. Very friendly if old fashioned cafe. Good value for your money. Not pretty and intimate but a real throwback to the 60s

I've been eating there as a quick alternative to home cooked dinner on quite regular basis. Their full English is good but either hard times hit the restaurants or just simple change if strategies how the place is run. The portions are much smaller than they used to be but the food standard still at the same good standard. The clientele of this place is mostly oap's and that's good indication to good food at yet affordable prices.

Dreadful Sunday roast What a rotten meal Meat tasteless, gravy completely tasteless veg hard Yorkshire pudding dreadful How can you serve such an appalling meal?? Do the owners actually taste the food ? I strongly suggest you do ! Who wants boiled un roasted parsnips This place has gone right downhill it used to have a good reputation We were all hungry and looking forward to roast beef and roast turkey Shame on you Old mill for serving such appalling food You need to employ a better chef and actually sample the food before selling it Disgusting

Never been here before pulled in on the off chance on a Saturday afternoon fantastic welcome by the landlady. My wife had a Ploughman. I had a ham, egg and chips. My wife said it was the best PLANS she’d ever had and my ham and chips was spot on give it a try you won’t be disappointed and great value for money.
