Had a lovely breakfast - their chips are delicious. Small restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Can also highly recommend their soft serve.

Such a lovely homely cafe. The breakfast was just what we wanted. A classic greasy spoon, with speedy service and a smile. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, great spot for a quick bite with family/friends/children etc.

I came in for lunch with family I hadn't seen in a while as we'd heard good things about Jel's Cafe. A good number of options to choose from, I had a large English breakfast and a sanpellegrino lemon, whereas everyone else had jacket potatoes. I got hash browns and black pudding as extra as it didn't come as standard, but the meal still was reasonably priced. My aunt commented saying the jacket potato was the best one she's ever had outside of home cooking, so will be back to try that myself!

Went to Jel’s cafe many years ago and haven’t been back until today as I don’t visit Tonbridge very often. However Jel’s cafe is still as good today as it was then. Great service , fantastic food and good value. A good place to visit. I wish I could go more.

We went for lunch at Jel’s Cafe today. My boys had asked for a Wimpy lunch during half term, but it was closed. I was worried they’d be disappointed, but they said they’d rather go back to Jel’s in future! We all thoroughly enjoyed the food & the service was excellent. Such lovely people, very friendly and welcoming. Thank goodness Wimpy was shut, we’ve found a bit of a hidden gem! We’ll definitely be back in the Easter holiday!

Not great. Not sure about the 4.9 star review at all!?! My breakfast was overcooked to the point of being inedible. The bacon was like crackling but tasteless, the chips were so overcooked that I actually cut my mouth on one. I could smell the oil all over the plate and I don't think it had been changed in a while. The ketchup was the cheap nasty stuff decanted into a Heinz ketchup bottle. For £10.50 I expect more than the cheap ingredients used here. It was also quite chilly in there. Very disappointing.

And then the poached eggs arrived. Done to perfection. A rich welcoming yolk oozed softly over the toast. Poetry on a plate! Very friendly staff. Note: I am here two days after the 7.8 and 7.6 magnitude earthquakes in Syria and SE Turkey. They have family in the Turkey and had been so worried about them. I'm pleased to say they are safe. But obviously they remain very concerned. If you read this, it may be nice to show our support with patronage of this fine café. Thank you Jels!

Pretty good cafe with nice seating and atmosphere, as well as food being nice overall. My main gripe is the mega breakfast was supposed to have black pudding and bread and butter which didn’t come (realised later after we’d finished), and 9.50 is a bit steep for the quality of ingredients offered - all quite cheap, cash and carry sort of stuff. It also took ages to come out, which I can understand as it was quite busy but I noticed a few tables arriving after us got served first. Lastly, no salt and pepper or anything on the table, nor offered unless asked - service could be a bit better I think. Overall the place is decent, but could do much better.

We stopped here on our Pilgrims away walk from Rochester to Aylesford. We were soaked from the rain. We walked thru the doors and it was just so warm and cosy with a lit fire. The owners (I think) were super lovely. They let us sit by the fire and dry our things and just warm up - physically and our spirits. We just had coffee there. But the food looked amazing and just the friendly hospitality of the owners, staff and other patrons made this a very special stop on our walk. Thank you so much.
