Weird question maybe? but we are coming over on the Dover-Calais ferry on Thursday morning. Some of our group are taking the Eurotunnel so I am looking for somewhere to regroup the other side. Does anyone know of any good cafes to stop and grab some breakfast. Decent parking essential obviously! Any advice appreciated.

You'll struggle a little in that area TBH. The first peage toll at Boulogne is the best place for rendezvous for Ferry/Tunnel groups but although its got toilets and parking there's no food.
Try Montreuil Sur Mer, the main square just another 15 mins on from there. Lovely town about 10ks off the autoroute.

Thanks for the tips guys, Dover is ideal but we need somewhere the other side as a regrouping point! Will have a look at both of the suggestions above. Cheers. Jim

not exactly scenic, how about Sangatte now the Gendarme/refugees holiday has ended? near to Auchan, out the back exit hang a right, assuming someone will want to top up, not too far from the ferry or Eurotunnel.
seem to recall big parking space near Mairie and a few small bars bit further down?
drive down the coast to Wissant, cross country and pick up the 16.

About 4 miles from the tunnel on the way down to Rouen. Its the first service station on the right, OK food.
