John's Cafe in The Vale of Glamorgan

Best brekki in Barry island, polite and friendly staff, great breakfast and the vegan one, you get so much for your money, better than the Whitmore n Jackson next door, NEVER judge a book by the cover 😉

Been visiting Jons for years, Cant fault the service ot foood.

Very busy cafe and totally understand why. Food was great, portion sizes were huge and great value for money. Staff were friendly. Will come back next time we visit Barry!

3 of us had the big breakfast. It was lovely and we all liked that the beans and tomatoes were separate. Tower of toast was amazing! Big hunks of toast. Staff were great.

Excellent breakfast and good value. Lots of other 'everyday' food dishes also available.

Amazing Vegan and Veggie breakfast options, I and my family loved the breakfast

Highly recommend for breakfast and loads of vegetarian and vegan options. Big portions and well priced.

Decided to have a day in Barry, found Johns cafe, vegan sausage chips and beans. Absolutely delicious, great portion sizes and such good value. Staff were so lovely, and the cafe beautifully clean. Soya and oat milk for our tea. Thankfully the weather was great and we could sit outside with the dogs who enjoyed their doggy ice creams. Highly recommend to vegans.

Lovely man Graham made our drinks. Delish coffee and hot chocolate. One of us had a strong mug of tea which we asked for. Staff very kind and obliging. Couldn't do enough for us. Will visit again soon. Joy fording, jeannie Parker and Anthony broom

If your looking for a full English. Look no further. £10.00 and that's for a large Breakfast. £8.00 for a small.

Breakfast very good and very generous. Children's formula with vegetables. Very pleasant service and staff. £39 for two breakfast packages, a children's package, a coffee and bottles of water. Pretty reasonable.

Amazing breakfast and coffees (including gluten free options). I am coeliac and had beans and cheese on gluten free toast and an iced latte. My partner was able to have an oat milk iced latte (he’s lactose intolerant). The food is great value for money and the staff are super friendly! Thanks!

Always great food and hot coffee with friendly owner and staff . Good view of the sea inside or out . Recommended .

The best breakfast at Barry island! Generous portions and fresh quality ingredients

John's is a great café. Great food, fantastic staff and child friendly - there is no problem supplying ice cream for breakfast! We have been visiting John's for 8 years, on and off season, and have never been disappointed. Just revisited today, a sunny Sunday morning, and thought I ought to mention that despite an obviously stressed service, the staff were as friendly as ever and the food as good.

Not been here for many years but its not changed a lot as its still great value for money and you get what you pay for. The before 12 menu is excellent value for money.

Amazing place to eat and very friendly staff pleasure to eat there

Friendly staff, more than happy to help with anything. Lunch was tasty and big portion sizes! Soft serve ice cream was delicious, scoops and a vegan vanilla option available.

Had burger with chips and salad it was delicious definitely be coming back again my son had pie and chips beans

The best place for breakfast and lunch! And they have great vegan options which is very much appreciated. The service is 10/10 everyone is always so lovely. Hope this place stays forever!

Really good - If you're in Barry Island and it's lunch time... this is the place. The food quality is excellent, fair prices, and the customer service is spot on. 5 Stars.

I'm sitting in the cafe right now top nosh food as usual well worth every penny great music lovely staff best cafe around thank you johns cafe xxx

Good hot food and excellent service

Only stopped in for a quick coffee but was extremely clean, fast service, friendly staff and above all else - the latte was excellent, I ended up getting a second :) I'll be back for food soon as it all smelled delicious 😋

Very very nice cafe and I am so happy for your work

Good food and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast. Apologies for the high eaten breakfast photo, was really hungry and couldn't wait.

Always good food and at a good price too

Huge, good quality, beautifully cooked full English breakfast for a tenner. Nuff said.

I had a meat breakfast which was exactly what you expect and want from a traditional breakfast. Eggs were perfectly cooked and tasty, crispy hash browns and It was all cooked well along with crispy bacon too! Big doorstop toast and lush welsh butter accompanied by pots of beans and tinned tomatoes which can be added as you work through your breakfast! Nice strong tea also. Best traditional breakfast I’ve had I’d suggest. Did it eat again all day!!

Outstanding food and wonderful customer service, both friendly and professional Nice to see a local business still going strong. Been here several times over the years and never been disappointed.

We went to John's cafe today and was served by a lady who was amazing. She was so patient and kind even though it was busy. My son is on the spectrum and only eats certain foods The way she catered to him and allowed him to see the drinks in person and asked how many nuggets he wanted and sausages shocked me as noone has ever done that for him. I then went to pay and the younger man was so polite in the way he helped us with sauces. The food was amazing too like the last time i ate there but the customer service today was absolutley briliant.

A Great place for a breakfast on the sea front large breakfast portions great before a day on the beach Or a place to pop in for lunch or dinner defore hitting the attractions.. would highly recommend!

We pop in yesterday for day trip. Everything was clean and tidy and staff was very helpful. Ice-cream look well lush. My son really enjoyed it. Thank you very much

Fantastic place. The breakfast was huge and delicious. The staff are lovely. If we visit barry again we will definitely be back.

Properly delicious fry up next to the beach. Lovely staff, place is very clean. Great value of money. Well worth a visit!

Such lovely friendly staff. Delicious veggie sausage & chips. Stacks of ham, egg & chips. Spotlessly clean. What more do you need on a day to Barry Island?

Always nice and friendly, lovely and clean, and food great.Prices going up a lot lately.

Great cafe, we went for breakfast this time, didn't disappoint, staff helpful, work tirelessly not to keep you waiting to be served. Everytime we call in Barry got to stop at John's cafe.

Modest café situated right on Barry Island seafront. I wasn't expecting much in the way of either quality or value. However I was very pleasantly surprised when my lunch arrived, to receive a generous slice of steak and ale pie which was absolutely packed with filling, a decent pile of nicely-cooked chips and peas, all served piping hot on a hot plate, just as it should be! It was also very nice that the gravy came separately in a jug with a lid, to keep the contents hot... brilliant! The staff were clearly working hard during lunch service and yet still managed a smile and to exchange pleasantries. I'll definitely be back, next time I'm in town. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Nice place. Friendly staff, decent food.

Lovely place had a really nice gluten free butty would recommend this place for coeliacs xxx

First timers here. Sunday lunch was excellent value for money. Very clean throughout. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Great, fresh food. Bit pricey but worth it x

The new King of Barry Breakfast is here. Well I only just found out about it lol 🤣 fantastic massive and meaty for £8.80 but you could split it in 2! Needs better sausages for the price and WiFi other than that the breakfast was amazing!

Always my go to cafe when I'm over Barry Island

Wanted a decent full English and that's exactly what I got. Lovely. My wife had the Vegan version which she was very happy with. It wasn't exoensive and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

Homemade chips, lush bacon, cheap and cheerful. What more could a growing boy ask for!

Fab breakfast, massive for the price you pay, will deffo go back.

Great little cafe, with friendly staff and great food.

Popped in today for lunch with the family and can't recommend this place enough! Pie, mash, peas and gravy....delicious and plenty of it too! Staff are fantastic, prices are brilliant compared to most these days and coffees and cakes are gorgeous too... Will definitely be back to John's. 👍

My family and I have been eating at John's Cafe for years. Only problem is, we wish it was more often. Staff are efficient and friendly. The food is good, honest, home cooking.

Excellent food, piping hot. The staff were great as well.

Great service, great prices, really nice people and very clear on etiquette. I went back here three times during the day I was here for breakfast and then some refreshments. I recommend the fried eggs on toast if you need a small boost :)

Always a pleasure to go here Food and hospitality excellent

Great service, lovely food...the big breakfast was huge, well worth the money 👍

Very nice food not bad priced friendly staff would recmend too other s for food while at Barry

Stopped for breakfast very nice would recommend..

Great fish and chips and much more in the Cafe on the front at Barry Island if you are looking out to sea it is on the right hand side under cover and is well situated to be able to sit inside cafe or sit on the wall to enjoy meal. If you are sitting outside for food do remember there are seagulls around who like to share what you have so please be careful not to let them pinch your food before you enjoy it yourself. Always place packaging and bits of food left in the waste bins provided do not litter the beaches or frontage with litter and food waste.

Lovely breakfast, freshly cooked and plenty of it. Toast is made with proper bread too.

Great breakfast good value for money. We couldn't believe how much food we got for the price. Service friendly as well would recommend highly

friendly attentive staff and very clean, good practice of covid regulations in place , and also a real pleasure to use the high level of cleanliness within the toilet area , well done

Always stunning food and great service. Staff always happy and willing to help in anyway.

John's cafe is always a pleasure to visit. Good, honest food and friendly service - even if no-one is actually called 'John'.

They are one of the last remaining old cafes. They cater for vegans making the best oat latte I've ever had as well as vegan Welsh cakes and for the meat eater they make the best sausage and egg sandwich bar none. My favourite cafe 20 out of 10

We are always pleased with the service & quality of food. So happy to be able to find John's Cafe open again. Thank you Graham, Zara & Staff

Nice food good prices and really friendly staff. A lovely visit thank you.
