What Isabel Baker likes about John Boys Cafe:
This is a review of Hockley Cafe. We were impressed by the cleanliness and welcoming staff. The portions were large and freshly cooked. We ordered baguettes, expecting the usual size, but were pleasantly surprised to receive two large pieces each filled with delicious ingredients. I had the marinated and freshly cooked chicken in mine. View all feedback. What William Martin doesn't like about John Boys Cafe:
This café doesn't stand out from other similar eateries, but I wouldn't call it a greasy spoon as it's not as dingy as some other places. It's a typical café with standard café food. The prices are reasonable, the space is generally clean, but a bit cramped and small inside. View all feedback.

Popped in for a sandwhich, suppose you could say brunch. Reasonable prices. Good clean cafe. Sandwhich was good. As was the staff.

First time in here and really happy with the food. Definitely would come back.

Hockley Cafe is a cozy gem in the heart of town known for its spotlessly clean premises and friendly staff. Although the coffee can be hit or miss, the food is freshly cooked and generously portioned. The full English breakfast is a standout dish, served with a smile every time. While recent changes in ownership have resulted in decreased service quality, the original owner's dedication to excellent food and service is sorely missed. Despite this, Hockley Cafe remains a popular choice for locals and visitors alike.
