Johns Cafe in The Vale of Glamorgan

We had a great, full English ( £10 ) which we shared. Lovely farm house toast with real butter. Spacious and very clean restaurant. Staff so helpful. Immaculate toilet. You can dine in or outside. On the front so close to attractions and beach front walks. Open 9 am.

Friendly staff and polite and a good price for a Full English breakfast with tea for two for £20.40, the only thing i was disappointed with was the chopped tinned tomatoes, ,whole plum tinned tomatoes would of been lovely.

The food was cooked to perfection and tasted lovely, the staff were polite and helpful, plenty of food and reasonably priced

Very clean and spacious. Food / drink served nicely hot. Graeme and his staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Toilet and wash basin were immaculate. Will return !. Ashley, Marcia and Feizie

Déjeuner très copieux et bon. Personnel très sympathique et à l'écoute. Établissement propre avec une formule enfant et des chaises hautes.

Absolutely great little find. Popped in for breakfast after a our flight back to Cardiff. Food and service all great. Food served popping hot. Accommodated my request for a side order of scrambled eggs Waitresses both lovely..loved the fact they served the beans and tomatoes in separate pots with the breakfast. The ice cream lattes looked great. Sadly I was too full up from the regular breakfast to have one. Would definitely recommend. Keep up the great work guys. 😀

Great food, reasonably priced, good choice and options. Friendly and efficient service and very clean. Nice views too.

Wonderfull friendly atmospherevery friendly caring staff cafe is spotless wil definetlybvisit again.looking foward to trying their roast beef dinners and carrot cakke which look lovely

Fantastic breakfast and really friendly staff, was very clean and tidy. Chopped tomatoes and beans come in separate pots which is great for people like my daughter who don't like things touching each other

Lovely cafe. Had the steak and ale pie with chips, peas and gravy. My daughter had chicken strips, chips and curry sauce. Everything was great. Good size portions, definitely fill you up. Sat outside and the sun was shining. Also good table service.

Great chips and service will go again my friends couldn’t believe the great varieties of meals and pudding absolutely 💯

The best Welsh cakes! Stopped by chance after a day at the beach for coffee and cake. Lovely venue and plenty of seating. Ordered 1 latte, 1 milkshake and 2 Welsh cakes at a very reasonable cost of £8.50. Will be returning.

Sat outside with our lovely weather we are having. Lovely warm welcome. Had the small breakfast and asked for a few changes which they accommodated easily, hubby had G/F breakfast which wasn’t a problem. All cooked to our liking and one of those rare things everything was absolutely hot & delicious. Best hot chocolate too Highly recommend,

First class service and food. looking forward to full breakfast and John's did not disappoint, all cooked to perfection, lovely thick white toasted bread served on side plate, tinned toms & beans served in small pots, a great idea to avoid spreading across plate. will definitely be back, won't waste time looking anywhere else! Well done.

We make Regular visits. Always friendly, clean and value for money. The owner always makes time for a quick chat. Makes you feel valued as a customer. The Welshcakes are great.

On a coach day trip fromGloucester called in for a coffee when i arrived at Barry Island very pleased with the coffee and cake i had and found the service very good

Came across this place by chance. Luckily for us they had both our favourite meals, faggots and liver & onions!!!!! Food was excellent. Freshly cooked and hot together with an added jug of hot gravy. Staff were very efficient, worked well together and very professional. Tables were cleared and cleaned as soon as they were vacated which meant the place always looked clean and tidy. It was a very busy day but all the staff handled it well. Would highly recommend this place.

Right on the seafront. Spotlessly clean and fresh looking decor. Friendly staff, nice breakfast with lush latte coffee

I don’t get it. 272 reviews of 5 stars??? I had scampi that dripped water when you bit them. The chips looked like oven chips and where dry. My wife had veggi sausage and mash with peas and gravy. The sausage was tasteless. The staff were pleasant and the tea was nice but the food is not.

Excellent friendly Service.Breakfast and lunches are really good.Wide menu .good portion size and quality.Enjoy coffee here after a walk,and view is great.

Very clean cafe, excellent service, delicious Welsh Cake and cup of tea. Very keenly priced too. All staff seemed very friendly and approachable, nothing was too much trouble. Huge plus point was spotless toilets.

John’s Cafe came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. Their Full English was spot on. Food was cooked perfectly and I especially liked the use of the little containers for the tomato’s and beans. Nice toast and good coffee completed the breakfast. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was good value.

Spotlessly clean , friendly staff and lovely breakfast , served piping hot ! No dogs allowed which is a bonus for us . Reasonably priced, and the coffee is good too.

Polite staff, very clean location. Limited parking. (Plenty of parking for disabled available) 👍. RReasonably priced.

Lovely food always consistent quality,chips to die for we love this place,great staff always pleasant.

Excellent food,1st class staff, First visit with future wife,overall thrilled to eat there. Top class food.prices excellent. Definitely going back.

This is a no frills cafe that serves a full cooked breakfast as well as sausage and chips for example. The cafe is clean and the staff are very nice. Would definitely recommend a visit.

The is a family cafe on Barry Island.if you are looking for fancy food don't look here but if you want great chips with anything or roast for a good price with a friendly no fuss service. This is the place to go to. I go there every time i go to the island.

What a great breakfast and great service staff really pleasant and helpful also really clean would highly recommend this cafe and will definitely be back also do gluten free options

Very clean friendly cafe, with a good choice of food. Right in the heart of Barry Island. They even ordered a taxi for us

Superb food - roasts are excellent ! Service amazing! Top marks! Sparkling clean - and friendly welcome - thanks for being so lovely !

Dropped in to Johns Cafe on a windy wet Welsh Sunday morning. My son and I decided on a full English and were not disappointed. This is not a flash or trendy breakfast, it is a solid traditional breakfast, plenty of toast and good quality ingredients. All served with a lovely smile and nice staff.

Good place for breakfast. Fast service and the place is clean and tidy. Staff were excellent. Great breakfast which came out piping hot. Only complaint was there was little coffee in my coffee. ( I think it came out of Nescafe Machine) But next time i'll have a tea! Definitely recommend John's

Typical English cafe with consistently great quality food with a friendly service. Excellent choice on offer with the best gluten free advice I've witnessed both written and verbal anyway. Always try to make a point of visiting here when down in South Wales even if I'm staying at the St. David in Cardiff.

We stopped here to eat and was more than satisfied. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. We were served quickly by polite helpful staff. Good selection on menu, all very reasonably priced. Definitely will go back on next visit.

We visited on a Saturday morning around 10am for breakfast.

This is my go to place when I want a quality meal without any trimmings or nonsense. My wife, granddaughter and I had a lunch here today, and like before, it was lovely. Generous portions of Sunday dinner, and a really good child’s portion of chicken nuggets, beans and chips for my granddaughter. Forget the chain pubs and carveries, this is the place for me. Friendly and capable staff too, which is another of my measures of a good place to eat. No alcohol here which doesn’t bother me one way or the other.

Had coffee, jam/cream scone to take away.it was yummy. Service excellent. Will be back for sure. 👍😀

Had Sunday lunch last month with a friend and highly recommend it. Gluten free gravy was provided for me too. Going again on Sunday. Hot plates and hot food. Fantastic. Staff very friendly too and prices very good

This is the place to go for a good old fashioned cooked breakfast . Also the milkshakes are really good . But even the snacks are well cooked and presented . Friendly staff . Waitress service . Reasonable price

Came here about a year ago and was the best chips I have ever tried been craving their chips ever since came back today and the food didn't disappoint. Absolutely delicious food lovely staff and great view

This is surely the best cafe on Barry Island. Breakfast are amazing and Sunday lunches are delicious

Hot, fresh and decent quality meat. Clean and tidy, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. We'll definitely be visiting again before we leave.

Stopped here I had a veggie roast & my husband had plaice & chips. Very friendly helpful staff, decent sized portion, my husband really enjoyed his & mine was fine - just a little greasy pots & Yorkshire pudding, although the nut roast was lovely, but excellent value for money.

Visited midweek during school term time so very quiet. Breakfast was very good. Nothing fancy just a proper full english

Visited today and had wonderful roast dinner. Food is well cooked and nicely presented. Cafe is spotless and staff are very lovely and helpful, nothing is too much trouble.

Very friendly staff always asking if your ok or need anything else breakfast was amazing and a reasonable price tinned tomatoes did it for me lol and a very nice cup of tea so if your on Barry Island this is the place to go value for money

Came in by chance. we had a warm welcome, it was very clean, staff were lovely, service was great, the food was delicious, very hot, portions were massive and reasonably priced, will definitely come back

Always have food here when at Barry island. It hasn’t altered in all the years I’ve been coming here and the food and service is always lovely. Great waitress served us (forgot her name. Short hair, ear piercing. Vague I know. Sorry) but the staff are always helpful and polite. Food fresh and tasty as usual. Lovely spot right on the sea front as well. Great.

Myself and my wife came down to Barry Island for a day trip on Easter Bank Holiday Monday, arrived early and went for a long walk to start, out to Porthkerry Country Park. Strolled back towards Barry mid afternoon

Had a lovely coffee as always. Graham always makes time for a friendly chat. Lovely staff especially Graham who I've known for years. Good pretty special here too. Great outdoor seating area and the whole cafe immaculately clean. Will visit again soon. A great experience

My husband and myself visited this cafe on a day trip to Barry with our two children 4 and 7.

This cafe has been in business for many years. Has outdoor/ indoor seating. Buy fish and chips.ice cream. Serves the best Sunday lunch on the island.

Yet another delicious breakfast from a very customer focused establishment. See you next time I visit

Only recently started to visit and its become a family favourite already.

Quick service with a smile. Lovely ham egg and chips served fresh which was delicious. Great value will come again.

Called in for lunch yesterday. Delicious food served freshly cooked & hot. The staff were very friendly, polite & efficient. The cafe was clean & comfortable with a lovely location. Will definitely return soon. Thank you to the lovely team at Johns Cafe😘

Service is excellent, food is all cooked to order and the best knickerbocker glories ever! We visit regularly as a large family ( grandparents,parents and grandchildren) and they always step to to the mark ! Food is great

great ice cream - friendly staff and a nice place to visit on a sunny day for a bit of British seaside fun.

Regularly visit John's Cafe. Must be the best cafe in Barry,and such value for money. The Sunday Roast is excellent,with great choice,huge helpings,and fast service from friendly staff. Russell,Newport.

My wife, granddaughter and I had a roast dinner here today. We both had lamb dinners and the baby had some of our veg mashed up. The food was delicious, and served by really good young staff. We also had sponge puddings with custard for dessert. Good no nonsense grub, and excellent value.

We go to Johns cafe quite regular as we enjoy the food. They do the best chips than anywhere else. The staff are great and very helpful, the cafe is very clean, it’s just so nice to go and eat there xx

Lovely meal ,I especially love the way the chips are cooked. Really nice staff ,polite and professional. great prices for really lovely meals.

Lovely cafe, friendly staff, reasonable prices can't understand why it only has a 3 rating. Would definitely recommend it to anyone - and it is spotless (including the toilets!)

Best cafe and food on Barry Island, great food, fresh, no grease, and spotlessly clean, eat inside or out

Best cafe along the front. The food is excellent & reasonably priced. The service is very good & the staff are always very friendly.

Stopped there before going to Cardiff airport. Food was lovely and excellent value for money. Food was tasty and lots of it. Only thing missing was black pudding but we won’t worry about that. Staff were friendly and attentive. Gladly go back!

Great breakfast good location chips are lovely .staff are friendly on the whole excellent establishment

I visited with my Mum to this wonderful cafe. We visit regularly and are always extremely satisfied with the service and the fab food. We are both vegetarian and always able to find plenty of things to choose from on their extensive menu. Their small veggie breakfast is to die for and in actual fact is rather large, so goodness knows what size the mega breakfast is!!

nice food friendly staff nothing too much for them. Clean toilets and tables, lovely food with good portions.
