Kiki's Cafe in West Berkshire

As an older women who comes to cafes often, this cafe is okay in touches. I come here about 3 times over the past 2 months. Once with my granddaughter and the other two with one of my friends. Both said it wasn’t the best. First time was okay, would not recommend their Full English. I don’t know but the texture of everything was odd, sausage seemed cheap and their egg was cooked lazy. But the next two times I tried their ham, egg and chips meal. That was much butter, plate filled but the chips come pale and undercooked. Had to ask for it to be replaced or cooked more, no issue though seemed as if they had an off day. The times I’ve gone there is always poor management. There once was a man who works there, young, who acts out and makes the visit quite unpleasant. There was arguing so me and my granddaughter left. The next time, I believe the bosses, older man and women seemed very lazy. Always outside and only came in if there was a new costumer. I get it’s good to have a break but the other works (the young man from earlier and maybe 16 year old girl) had to do loads. I was there for about 3 hours during lunch period and I didn’t see them take an understandable break. Maybe 10-15 minutes or so to eat lunch. I’m not to make judgements but I think the younger two must’ve been working all day. On the other hand, they are all polite to costumers it’s just not a very positive atmosphere to be around, I think the two bosses should be kinder. But again, I’ve only been there 3 times. Meals good, cheap. Wish they did an actual cappuccino and stop lying, when it’s just a milky coffee.

Great food, is spotlessly clean, nice staff, good prices, there is nothing that is not the best experience for breakfast

Excellent place to eat and better than the town centre cafes. Although it is a 1.2 mile walk up a steep hill, the service and food is miles better and cooked to order so it is always hot!!!!

Where to start, Nearly £9 for one sausage, one piece of bacon, beans, chopped tomatoes(?), tinned mushrooms (?), one hash brown, two fried eggs and one piece of toast with a mug of tea. In fairness the tea was ok. The bacon was overcooked and dry, the eggs were hard, sausage cheap, mushrooms odd and flavourless and why chopped tomatoes??? The toast was barely toasted and covered in cheap margerine. Needless to say, I won’t rush back

Back to.normal with dave running it great food and lovely.place great for breakfast and lovely staff

Now Danny’s. We had a tasty lunch today, prepared and served by friendly and efficient staff. Good parking at the front. We ate inside, but could have eaten in the garden at the back. Mainly breakfast type dishes, but that suits us. My husband’s ‘mega’ was enormous, and my scrambled eggs on toast was also plentiful.

Went there today & believe Kiki has retired. Now called Danny’s Cafe however our breakfast was still good … new people running it … all helpful & we had a good breakfast. Go & support them.

Sadly Kiki’s Cafe was a not a good experience. Starting with the coffee which served in dingy mug and tasted like made with very cheap coffee powder Then the breakfast was basic, poorly cooked and not attractive on the plate Bacon was hardly cooked , poached eggs hard in the middle and soft toast ... told by a member of staff that use of the toilet was only if you are desperate. Come on Kiki you can do better than that

Breakfast for two, outside in the sunshine of the garden. Lovely people and good, good food! Proper workmans cafe in Newbury but good enough that the racing community floods it on race days. Husband, wife and daughter team, friendly and welcoming to all. Quick, hot and loaded plates delivered to your table with a smile and a chat. Love it,

Whilst on a trip we found that our planned stop was 'out of business' so we kept driving and by chance took a wrong turn in Newbury, As I was correcting this I noticed a cafe so drove in to Kikis. We were very impressed. Service was speedy and very friendly. The food when it came was excellent for it's type. and we really enjoyed the break. Liked it so much we stopped in again on our way home.

Had a lovely breakfast and great service and very friendly staff and very helpful 10 out of 10 for the breakfast well done Kiki many thanks Lewis

Generally I have the breakfast (though they do a mean ham egg and chips) - the staff are always happy to swap toast for hash browns or make changes to the standard offering. Tables are always clean. Good cuppa. Nice staff. Its not the Ritz or highest quality food but it tastes great and to be honest I don't think the Ritz would understand that tinned toms are a total must for a good fry up !

this is a best café ever and it sells good food and good prices for food and drinks and the breakfasts are very delicious and tasty and it is very cooked well and it has quick service I recommend coming here for breakfast and it does eat in and take away and it has a big back garden for you to eat.

Great food at great prices. Lovely staff and very clean premises. Good traditional English breakfast. Try the mega it's very good.

I had the worst omelette I’ve ever had in my life here. Although the owner apologised no refund was offered. Cappuccino was a milky coffee I presume heated in the microwave and bacon looked like it was a month old and dragged around a shed.

Can't fault the breakfast we had this morning on route to home. Service was excellent, food was good, tea was hot and we found it easily after a quick search on Google.

Visited today and had a really good home cooked breakfast. Great value, tasty, the best fried bread, good coffee and orange juice. friendly people and the place was spotless as well. Big garden outside to eat as well

Lovely breakfast cooked perfectly! Great find on way through to Southampton for family holiday, will call on way back up home!

I have used Kiki`s for several years. It is a simple `greasy spoon` and is particularly good for a weekend fry-up. All the usual suspects are there from fried eggs, bacon sausage and beans to omelettes. Prices are very reasonable and the service speed excellentKiki`s wll never be a top gastro experience nor does it profess to be. But as a straight forward cafe it certainly hits the mark for fast honest food and its people work hard to deliver good valueRecommended

This is a regular place for us, this is a proper cafe serving great food every time. Warm and welcoming staff and great service

Found this place while out and about, amazing food.. Clean environment, with exceptional staff... Would recommend to anyone looking for a breakfast

Great food, great service and a reasonable price. You cannot find many places like this anymore and it's great when you find a good one.

Great Breakfast - Full English or A bacon or sausage butty with a mug of good English Tea. Friendly service with reasonably priced good value honest cooking.

This is a great little gem of place. Clean and tidy. Lovely welcome. The food is delicious. Wonderful breakfast NOT swimming in grease. Bacon was good, eggs cooked just right, all the trimming perfect. Back again tomorrow before we leave the area. Well done guys for a superb breakfast

Took our dad there for a treat.

I've only had breakfast sandwiches here though it does serve food all day. Service is quick and portions are of a good size so I always feel like I've had good value.

First time working in Newbury live in Essex so I looked up cafe near where i will be working (Trip advisor) yours was nearest and looking good said opening hours 7am-2.30pm turned up this morning at 7am and shutters still down not impressed!!!

visited kikis a few times for breakfast as working in the area. Amazing food excellent friendly service. Always busy with locals and trade. Really can't recommend enough.

‘Mega’ breakfast ... and was exactly that. Two each of sausages, bacon, hash browns, black pudding (declined), plus baked beans, really tasty chopped tomatoes, fried bread and loads of mushrooms. All cooked fresh, and packed into takeaway containers. A real treat for a colleague and I on a cold and frosty morning! Good value, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it - set us up for a busy day.

Nice family run cafe. Friendly staff. Great food at keen prices. Pleasant atmosphere. Handy adjacent parking.

Perfect for a guilty treat, fantastic fry ups plus great old fashioned service, cannot fault this place, does what it says on the tin.

Not been here for a while, but best greasy spoon in Newbury. Well worth the trip. Often combine with Car Wash across road. Quality caf.

Always get a hot, fresh cooked breakfast here. It may look abit dirty but it's always busy & you end up having to share your table with strangers. I personally love there vegetarian fry up. Will definitely be here again.

This is the sort of 'greasy spoon' that you once found all over the UK. The food is mostly simple variations on the fried breakfast. Nothing fancy, but good honest food, good service and ample parking. I love it.

Great fresh breakfast! Eggs done perfectly and crispy bacon! Piping hot cuppa and free papers to read too!

El desayuno aquí en muchas ocasiones. Útil tener coche lo aparcó al lado mientras toma un desayuno sin prisa! !

Buena comida a un precio razonable, gran tamaño de la porción, el servicio es excelente, el personal es muy amable. Me visita regularmente y siempre la recomiendo

Had an all day breakfast sunday afternoon. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Staff are welcoming and very helpful. I will be frequenting Kiki's I'm sure.

It is what it is. An old fashioned greasy spoon cafe. Had a full english breakfast with a builders tea, white bread & butter. Enjoyed it.

I came here on my own fantastic service and lovely breakfast . Very friendly great value for money lots to chose from Def would visit again

very quiet for the time of day used outside of coffee cup had either a pattern of was engrained dirt, breakfast was good mushrooms appeared to be tinned not fresh forgot to ask for fried break and amazed to see they don't do black pudding never noticed whether they have a loo or not as could of done with going before leaving

Stopped in for a breakfast last year. Despite the offering being typical cafe food/snacks, it was pretty poorly put together.Bacon appeared to have been deep fried. Nothing seemed fresh and sausage was terrible.

Been here loads of times. Never been disappointed. Very consistent. Great value for money. Vegetarian breakfast lush. You won't get better in my opinion and my standards are high! !

I am a regular now here. Have the ful english breakfast for 6.75. Includibg a can of drink. Excellent value, with quick service. Food cooked on site, and always hot. Basic interior, but does the job adequately. Only down side is the sausage, can be hit or miss on quality.

Visited with my daughter for the first time and ordered a £5.95 full English. Personally I don't drink tea or coffee so asked if I could have an orange juice. Was surprised to be charged extra.As for the food, the sausage was a cheap banger, not what I was expecting for a £6 ticket price and the fried bread was drenched in oil and hard. On a positive the staff were complimentary but unfortunately we won't be visiting again.

It's a greasy spoon, it sells great breakfast and you come out smelling like you've been there... So no hiding or pretending you've not had a bacon roll on a Saturday morning. I really like Kiki's, a 40 minute walk makes us feel like we've earned it. Good service, nice food and always served quickly.

Popped in for a fried egg sandwich and cup of tea to go. The proprietor was just opening up, so not everything was set up. They couldn't have been more accommodating. Unlocking the loo's, and letting me use them, whilst they cooked up and wrapped (in a 'user friendly' kitchen towel, then a grease proof paper bag) the best tasting (so far) fried egg sandwich I've ever had, and poured an outstanding cup of tea .The best part of it, by far, was 'though the transaction was less than five quid, I was still allowed to pay by card. Perfect.

As you'd expect Kiki's offers the usually range of sandwiches and full breakfasts cooked to order. The food is tasty enough but nothing exceptional. Personally I would prefer better quality sausages but for the price the value is fine.I went during the election campaign and didn't talk politics but the staff did between them; UKIP policies if you're interested.

This place never lets us down, always a good fried breakfast. Staff are friendly. Good choice of fry ups and drinks too. Will be back..

Came here at tea break from work. Bearing in mind we don't get long. We waited almost 45 minutes. And hoping the wait would be worth it but we were wrong. Pretty bog standard breakfast. No better than a little chef. No where to sit. Full of grumpy old men. Will never be going back. I'm not one for writing bad reviews but this was a frustrating visit.

This was a quick stop on the way to Portsmouth and it is top notch. Quality food and a good choice all at reasonable prices. The fried bread is the best! It's in an easy location and there is also ample parking. If you are a fan of real breakfasts, well worth a visit.

Been past this place before & read good reviews but hadn't been in until today, glad I did. Ordered the full English but with bacon instead of the sausage, was offered tea or coffee but don't do hot drinks. It was 11:30 but still had 4/5 people seated eating. Service was friendly & my breakfast arrived within minutes. Everything piping hot, the egg was perfectly done with a nice runny yolk for my toast to dip in to. Glad to see some chopped tomatoes instead of the usual half barely grilled one you get at Wetherspoons. Bacon, beans & mushrooms all very good. The hash brown was ok but prefer the smaller chunkier ones. Maybe a small orange juice could be offered instead of a hot drink? Will definitely be going back, worth cycling from the other end of town

Brilliant breakfast with friendly service.Also happy to help.Very clean Pleasure to have a good breakfast venue in Newbury

A nice place. Have visited quite a few times now. Never waited for more than 5 minutes for a steaming hot breakfast.

I come here regularly on a weekend for a good English breakfast and have the car hand washed/valeted next door. Open 7 days a week. Usually very busy and staff friendly and helpful and working very hard to ensure timely delivery. A great local cafe in my opinion and an asset to South Newbury . Food is plentiful, delicious and value money. Highly recommend.

Thought I would treat the guys on site to a bacon sandwich for lunch so popped in and ordered 7 bacon egg and sausage baquettes,service was excellent and the young lady made me a cup of tea while I waited,quick efficent and the lads loved it.Would be in every morning if we were local and had the time,very friendly place and very clean.

Everywhere I go for breakfast leaves me feeling slightly disappointed. Until now...The service was good, you go up and order at the till but everyone seemed friendly.The breakfast was tasty, filling and included black pudding which was a big bonus for me. Prices were reasonable.Will be back in the future.

By far the best fry up I've ever had will continue gojng back again and again , excellent staff , very friendly and welcoming would rather give my money to them than any chain store

Walked in to find loads of options on the blackboards. We both chose a full veggie fry up. I was allowed to change a few ideas which was fantastic. Food was freshly cooked and so tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Only down side is that it's so small that you end up a lot of the time sharing a 4 seater table with strangers. Have visited many times and has always been fantastic

This is a greasy spoon, every now and then I do pop in for a fry up and it's ok. Friendly staff you get what you pay for. Ok building not the best but ok. Parking ok. Will come back.

Good day TripAdvisor readers.My chums and I visited Kiki's on a sunny morning ready to fill up on a hearty traditional fry-up (cooked breakfast). We were certainly not disappointed! Breakfast was very well priced and well sized. Kudos on the choice of skimmed milk for my tea - a lot of places only carry semi-skimmed or full-fat.Good sausages, bacon and fried eggs - all cooked very well. Yum yum. The staff were all very friendly and helpful too - it is nice to see a smile in the morning!We sat outside in the "beer" garden (rear outdoor seating area, I am not sure I can call it a beer garden if it's not a pub. Anyhoo) and it was splendid - a great size and perfect for the sun.The only downside to the experience was the general run-down appearance of the buildings (and especially the building next door, which looked as if there had been a house fire that had never been cleared away).Parking - lots of space.All in all, I enjoyed my breakfast, so thanks!
