13/11/21- Another lovely lunch with with my daughter today. We’re always made to feel very welcome and the staff and service is always excellent. Loving the homemade cakes. 13/04/21- Lovely lunch at Phoebes. Good range on menu, large sandwiches/baguette/panini selection. Salads, omelette and jacket potato’s and breakfast menu before 11.30. All reasonably priced. Delicious homemade cakes, perfect with my Americano. Fantastic customer service and the owner was lovely. 14/04/21- My 7 year old daughter was so happy with yesterday’s visit, she insisted we came back again today. The food and service is excellent again and the space is Covid secure with a lovely sun trap court yard. Lots of space and social distance with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended, well worth a visit.

My Wife and I had been going into Phoebes for quite some time, always enjoying the lovely lunch selection, afternoon tea and amazing cakes on offer. We loved it all so much we asked the wonderful owner (Lesley) if she could make our cakes for our wedding. She was more than happy to accept and provided us with the most wonderful wedding cake and cupcakes, they really stole the show on the big day. Lesley made the whole process really easy on us and was happy to work with whatever we wanted, we even got to do a little cake tasting! We are so grateful for everything Lesley has done for us and our big day, and we will always be happy customers returning back to Phoebes for more sandwiches and afternoon teas!

Just listen to all the 5 star reviews and come here. Friendly staff more than happy to indulge reasonable requests and the eggs Benedict is PHENOMENAL. Proper stuff, you can taste the butter in the hollandaise. Will always come back whenever we're in the area!

If you want excellent food, freshly prepared with top end ingredients and cooked to order, then Tony's 'Street Chef' is the place to go. Highly recommend the Hersden Burger, but only if you are hungry.

Lovely place hidden away in a quiet corner. Great service, very clean, good value and nice portion sizes. It's unusual for a place to get a tick for all of these, but The Hub does. Can't wait for my next visit.

I visit regularly. It's a nice, cosy café with fantastic freshly made baguettes, sandwiches, paninis, and homemade cakes. They also serve fresh coffee, a small selection of wine, and bottled beers. The staff are friendly. When the sun's shining, there's a great secluded grassy area out front where you (and your dog!) can sit and enjoy your food and drink. It's a real oasis in this part of Sittingbourne. Enjoy!

Brunch & Brew

Rating: 4.8 (223) Price Level:
Brunch & Brew has been our favourite breakfast venue since we moved to Tenterden three years ago. Today, we had breakfast in the new venue on the High St and it's just as good as before. The food is as good as ever and the new premises have been done out really nicely. Service, as in the previous venue, is excellent. It's good reading on the menu that, as far as possible, the food is sourced from local providers. It was lovely seeing quite a few people in there early in the day and I hope that means the new location will be a success - it certainly deserves to be.

My mum has been to the Brunch & Brew many times before and always spoke very highly of both the food and service. Luckily for me we were passing by and mum said she would treat me to something to eat. What an absolute gem this place is, with it's superb menu and excellent service, all served up with a genuine smile. The breakfast that I chose was excellent, cooked to perfection and the presentation was immaculate, portion size was more than adequate. All in all I am highly impressed with the Brunch & Brew and look forward to visiting again. If you want great quality food and service it has it all, highly recommended. Visited again today and it is still excellent, this is now our go to place if we are looking for a breakfast, perfect every time. This probably the best place to eat in Tenterden in my honest opinion, great value for money. Brunch & Brew is also dog friendly, so it is an ideal place to eat should you have your furry friend with you.

We stumbled across this quaint cafe located off the main high street of tenterden. The inside is small and holds about 8 -10 tables but if the weather is good then there’s some outside space which looks out on the main high street. The cafe had a good varied selection of food and drinks. We opted for the all day breakfast along with chicken gyros and children meals. Price wise, you get a lot for your money. Staff were attentive and polite and food arrived in good time and hot. A very nice place to visit on a lunchtime stop off. A well earnt 5 stars! Definitely one to attend if your passing.

We have always had a lovely experience everytime we've visited and the new premises is just as good. The food is always fresh, with great portion sizes at a reasonable price. The staff are all super friendly, welcoming and go above and beyond to help with anything you need. This is definitely a firm favourite for us and we recommend it to everyone.

Spinach and feta patties is my excellent choice. One of the best places in Canterbury. Lots of options. Clean and nice place and great staff.

What a treat this was! Incredible food & drinks selection and even though the particular treat I came for had sold out, the wonderful staff there put something special together for me which was so delicious! Also made my husband another drink on the house as he had mistakenly ordered the wrong thing…no fuss what so ever and even when he insisted on paying for it, they said not to which was so lovely. Really went above and beyond for us and I can not wait to return many more times in the future. For the glorious food and drink, for the stunning layout and display of the restaurant and for the beautiful people working there and making it so warm and welcoming! Thank you very much 😊

Everything was incredible. If you would like to experience Greek culture this is the perfect place to go to. The pastry and coffee have absolutely no difference of that of Greece. Lovely atmosphere, very chilled out place, service is excellent, extremely friendly people. I would highly recommend.

Literally our favourite place in the whole of Canterbury! We're here at least once a week. If we lived in town we'd be here every single day. The food is amazing, the coffee is perfect and the girls couldn't do enough for you. Please support a local family business

Very friendly spot for a snack before touring Canterbury. To this American tourist it felt very welcoming and part of a local neighborhood instead of a too-busy, in-and-out, grab-and-go place you might find in town. Besides, we discovered Mr. Blobby!

I called in for brunch today and treated myself to a breakfast baguette which was served with a very tasty salad and a coffee. The food, the coffee and the service was first class. Would thoroughly recommend this establishment..

Very nice place with kind and helpful ppl working in it. The food and cakes looks very appetising. The cafelatte cake was moist, creamy and soft. I will definitely come back for the chocolate and orange one 😏👌🏼 The coffee has traditional flavours and barista had served it with creamy, steamed milk. Gluten-free and vegan cakes are available also. There is toilet in the premises. Prices looks reasonable considering that operating a shop must be costly nowadays.

Looks clean and tidy. Fresh hot pasty . Turnovers.Homemade. Range of teas. Good coffee. Does not do fried egg but that's due to not having the facilities. Still lots to choose from Quick service . Very polite . Passionate business owners. Not been open very long. One small step down into cafe Some nice space but compact. Couple of the tables would be awkward to sit on because of a pillar and table in walk way . Quite narrow. Wouldnt fit wheelchair through. Could use front of shop has two tables by windows with more room. Toilet available . Small but clean. Nice handwash and kitchen roll for hand washing. One step up to the toilet area. Wouldnt be able to fit a wheelchair. Dogs are welcome. Breakfast looks nice and seen some happy customers Can do cash or card . Gives receipts by email or paper. Sandwich very nice. Well presented. Bacon cooked well. Bread nice and fluffy. . Scrambled egg tasty! Served with salad crispy and nice dressing also some coleslaw on the side . Reasonable price and Inexpensive compared to most other local cafes Most places your looking at 7.50 a sandwich . Gluten free and vegan options available. Could have a nicer looking menu and a little more appealing advertising out front. Maybe a menu in the window to show what's available and the great prices. Parking isnt available outside but has some off road parking locally and a car park just down the road. Station road. Would definately go back again :)

Fringe + Ginge Coffee
72 Northgate, Canterbury CT1 1BB, UK | Coffee Shop P: Not available
Rating: 4.9 (347) Price Level:
Fringe and Ginge in Canterbury is a must-visit coffee shop that truly stands out. Their flat whites are smooth and velvety, with a perfect balance of espresso strength and creamy milk, while their mochas deliver a rich, chocolatey flavor that blends harmoniously with the coffee’s bold notes. Both drinks are topped with expert latte art, showcasing the baristas’ skill and attention to detail. The selection of bakery items is equally impressive, featuring freshly baked pastries, cakes, and other sweet treats that are hard to resist. Whether you’re in the mood for a buttery croissant or a decadent slice of cake, the quality is always top-notch. The staff contribute significantly to the café’s appeal. They’re super friendly, engaging, and incredibly efficient, managing the steady stream of customers with a smile. It’s easy to see why Fringe and Ginge is a local favorite—the place is often packed, creating a vibrant, bustling atmosphere. The only downside is the limited seating inside, which can fill up quickly, so it might be best to arrive early or grab a takeaway. Adding to its charm, the café is dog-friendly, welcoming four-legged companions with open arms. This small touch makes it a wonderful spot for dog owners looking to relax with a quality cup of coffee in a lively, community-oriented setting. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience some of the best coffee and baked goods Canterbury has to offer!

We went in for a coffee after roaming around the town the whole day on a cold winter day. Loved the beautiful decor, coffee was really good and we had a brownie which was amazing!! There are lot of quick bite options as well which we would love to try next time we are there ! Really cute place with lovely staff and good looking furniture! You can get some beautiful Instagram pics for your feed! Recommended!

I think I fell in love with this little cozy Coffee shop! The girls who worked there when we came were lovely. The place inside si small but a lot of natural light comes in so you don't really feel suffocated and there are outdoors benches and tiny tables. I took a Chai Latte and my boyfriend took a Long Black. We added a bag of coffee from their little shop, because it was a very interesting blend. The lady asked us if we wanted the beans grounded and then proceeded asking for what purpose was the coffee(to get the best grounding level). I found it very professional. The Chai is made with a mixed powder a little spiced. I usually don't take Chai when it's a powder because it comes out very sweet but this was one of the best Chai Latte I've ever had. So if you are like me, don't worry about taking this one, even if it's in powder!! The spices blended so well with the taste. And my partner was happy with the taste of his coffee too. Extra bonus for the aesthetic

Met up with work colleagues for a Christmas get together. We were there early evening and there was lots of space. As the evening progressed it got quite busy but service was still good. Lots of choice on the menu. Very enjoyable evening.
Rating: 4 / 5
The overall experience was good, but there’s definitely room for improvement. It felt like the restaurant was short-staffed, which impacted service quality. Attention to detail could also be better. I wouldn’t recommend the steak - was inconsistent—one side was well done while the other was medium, which was disappointing, but the chicken shish was perfect—juicy, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. With a bit more focus, this place could be excellent.

The customer service and experience here at Aroma Lounge Sittingbourne is truly special. The atmosphere decorations and lighting of the restaurant set it apart from almost all restaurants in this region of Kent. It's like going overseas to sylett itself with how nice and warm and accommodating the restaurant is every time I have visited. Hussain and the gent that always looks after me who I can't thank enough for the consistency and friendliness of my visits here it's a great place for families, groups, working dinners and single travelers like myself to dine and feel at home. Chefs and kitchen staff should be celebrated here as well as food is fantastic and always served with the highest quality of presentation and service. Every dish so far is delicious and perfectly portioned you won't not come back as the service here is very much always customer focused. Been a while leaving this review so forgive the delay but wanted to express how much of a great place Aroma Lounge is and how much it's growing in presence and experience for all guests and how good the staff are here really appreciate you and with the British Raj right next door these are Sittingbournes finest tandoors and other businesses could learn a lot about how these restaurants take care of customers and are actually genuinely welcoming.

What truly made my visit memorable was the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely friendly and attentive. They took the time to explain the different dishes and made excellent recommendations based on my preferences. Their warm and welcoming demeanour created a pleasant and comfortable dining environment. In conclusion, my experience at this Indian restaurant was truly outstanding. The combination of incredibly delicious food, friendly and attentive staff, and a clean and inviting atmosphere made it a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic and delightful Indian culinary journey accompanied by top-notch service.

Maybe our fourth or fifth time having dinner at this restaurant and we will continue to come back. We chose to come here for my husband’s birthday as it is our favourite place. The food does not compare to any of the Indian restaurants in sittingbourne in our opinion, it is much better quality and so much more flavoursome. The staff are so attentive and really go out of their way to make it an enjoyable evening with very generous drinks and service. If you have not tried this restaurant we really recommend.

I got anankoli chicken with roti and pilau rice; the menu had a range too for all dietary preferences. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and very classy. Best of all was the lovely, attentive wait staff who even gave me a free drink and beautiful ice cream dessert for my birthday! I would definitely recommend as all of my friends and I loved it and would go back again :)
