Johnny C's Bar & Bistro

We came here for brunch after being told by another fancy coffee shop just down the road that we couldn't come in with our dog, in spite of her being in a buggy. I have no problem with places having a no-dogs policy, but do object to being spoken to rather nastily. The welcome at Johnny's couldn't have been more different. They were very happy for us to come in with the dog and greeted us all warmly. We ordered scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, and coffee. The eggs were rich and buttery and delicious. We're both coffee aficionados, and agreed that the coffee was excellent - and we don't often rate coffee shops so highly. So if you're needing a coffee in Ilfracombe, go to Johnny C's and not the flint-hearted place down the road.

Had fantastic coffee and then lunch at Johnny C’s. One of the best places to eat lunch in my view! The owner is super friendly and clearly cares about providing good quality food, drink and atmosphere. Loved the diner theme, which is very classy (no chrome in sight)! The perfect place to sit in the comfy chairs in the window and watch the world go by, or read a book or chat to someone.

I come here every Thursday with my group of ladies doing knitting and crochet and we all really enjoy going there. So me and my partner went there yesterday (04/08/2023) for some lunch and we both really enjoyed what we had and because we enjoyed it that much we are going to make it a regular thing 😁
