J & J’s Cafe South Ockendon in Thurrock

Nice cafe for bit of grub, good price, very friendly. Always makes me smile

Honestly best cafe in ockendon, the atmosphere is always amazing, John is the best cafe runner everand he’s staff are always polite. Service is always happy, #nobby (inside joke) wouldn’t go any other cafe in ockendon

I’ve eaten in many cafes all over Essex and this is by far the best I have found. For me it’s about the quality of the food, portion size, the prices and the coffee, and on all these points J&J’s scores 5 points. It can get pretty busy at times, but isn’t that a good sign?

Friendly place always familiar faces have become a regular, foods always good and reasonable pricing. Owner and son make sure there’s always a good atmosphere

Good local family business. Happy to support.

Really friendly, great food, highly recommended

How this place is 4.7 is unbelievable - more like 2.7! I suppose you can only base the reviews by the people who write them! For this area it probably is there best restaurant but honestly the food is terrible! Since eating it I feel sick! Avoid!

Clean & tidy place nice friendly staff

Good breakfast and fast service . Chips ,eggs,mushrooms and Bacon all cooked very nice

Not bad will return at some point

Great staff, good food, nice local cafe with some interesting options. Can be busy.

Lively little cafe. Friendly staff and delicious food. Lots of filling on my jacket potato and fresh salad. Yum!

Great place to eat in our takeaway 👍

Good value for money and friendly service. Many options for breakfast and lunch.

Tasty, good service and most important affordable unlike many other eatery’s

Ordered a Hamburger & Chips, the burger was the typical type you'd expect in a café. Cash is preferred, but card is accepted.

Really love this place, do a really good breakfast.

Lovely little cafe! Abit cramped when busy but the food is yummy!

Really great staff, always friendly whenever you go in, and the food’s good too. Looks great inside too, not the standard cheap and cheerful cafe decor you usually get

Love this cafe people are lovely food is great there ice coffee is the best go in every day for one lol.. best cafe ever...

One of the best breakfasts I have ever had, lovely cafe with fantastic, friendly staff.

Great food & quick service. Popped in to grab a coffee and quick sandwich and was actually surprised at the decor as it wasn’t your usual greasy spoon chic, more suited to those trendy spots you find in central London which I loved! Would definitely recommend and will be popping in again as their omelettes looked amazing!

First time visit since lockdown. Fantastic level of hygiene Felt really safe Great food Staff were friendly and made customers feel at ease

Very friendly, value for money. Lovely food. Very clean. Worth paying a visit.

Friendly, quick and tasty. Nice experience.

Great café nice bacon sandwich.

Love my liver and bacon at 7am.allways goes down a treat

OK place . Staff look like robots, expressionless . Ordered a small breakfast, which came quickly. And it was nice. Typical workers place. Sat near front door, every time it opened, I thought brrr it's cold.you get what you pay for. I understand they also do dinners, Shepherds pie, never understood why it's called this, as no shepherd in it , roast beef with veg and roasties. Might give it a try next time.As it's got to be worth a second visit .........
