The Best Cafes in Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

The menus on this Google listing were way out of date so we found the prices much higher. Now updated! Charging extra for beans with a full English breakfast is cheeky.

Well, what to say? We left home at 5am for our 4th trip to the UK. After a bit of a ride we had our breakfast at this wonderful place. This small pitoresque breakfast facility is the hidden GEM near folkstone. This is a place to remember and saved into our "good food list".

Excellent small cafe. Super busy. Delightful staff and lovely service. Good home made food.

Very friendly staff and lovely food. Would definitely recommend

You’re always guaranteed a warm welcome at Café B, especially if you bring your best friend*. * dog

Just had Sunday lunch superb . Enormous helping very tasty . We'll cooked . Followed by a lovely trifle and ginger cheese cake . Highly recommended. Plus very good music 🎶

Great food, friendly service and v good background music. Worth a visit.

The koyla just opened today under new management and it’s incredible! The goat curry is so delicious—rich and bursting with flavor. The momos are fantastic too, really tasty! The mula ko achar and mango pickle are just wow, the perfect taste that paired so well with my goat curry and rice. The staff were very welcoming, which made the experience even better.Definitely a must visit! I wish I had taken more and better pics I was too eager to devour my meal!

A pristine fine dining restaurant with a warm welcome and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are attentive and the food which is beautifully presented is absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend and will certainly be returning.

Recently had the pleasure of dining at The Koyla and the food was so delicious! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and was bursting with flavours. The staff were attentive, friendly and professional. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

Excellent food, tasty and well presented. Imaginative starters. The Nepalese touch works well. Highly recommended. The acoustics aren't brilliant if there's a noisy guest two tables away.

Had a wonderful Afternoon tea for 3 people yesterday, which was delicious & perfect. Lovely cafe, very clean, friendly, owners & staff are very welcoming. Lots of lovely delicious cakes, savouries, sandwiches, to eat in or take away. Will definitely go again! Thankyou.

We had afternoon tea, there's a choice of fruit or plain scones, strawberry or blackcurrant jam, also a choice of cake. The food was very nice, and the service was very good.

This is one amazing cafe, a very warm welcome from the owners and staff who are fantastic. The service is top quality. The food is amazing. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone .I can't wait to go back

I would definitely recommend a visit to Fields Cafe in Birchington. The food and especially the wonderful and really special cakes made by the owner of the Cafe,Jamie are a real treat. The service and atmosphere is just great and it’s very relaxing and enjoyable being there. Today i tried his banana and pineapple cake with pistachio nuts on top!! Absolutely delicious. Large slice too!!

Amazing meat cuts and so tasty

We were staying locally for the weekend and popped in on Saturday afternoon. Pete was incredibly friendly (and generous!) and we ended up with great crevettes and salmon for dinner, which were delicious.

Superb country butchers and fresh fish stall too. Small range of really fresh greengrocery available. Quality sausages and tasty bbq range of prepared meats.

Fantastic meat and delivery so good Oder how much you need sausages fantastic one packet going to London for my sister as I told her the best ❤️❤️❤️

I had a super Breakfast Bagel. It was filled with bacon,egg and cheese,not the sliced plastic stuff either, and a pot of tea. My friend had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough. We both made Mmmm noises as we appreciated the gorgeous breakfast. Very welcoming staff,but I understand it's best to book as it's become so popular. I'd give it 10/10 Well done Bojangles 👍🏻

Been here a few times. Really good coffee, cakes, food and a good selection of proper teas. Always a warm greeting from the staff, all very happy and friendly. Dog friendly. Nice atmosphere. Would recommend 👌

Really lovley friendly people, dog friendly, and there's a nice little garden out back to sit in! I definitely recommend the fish finger sandwich! :)

My husband and I were sleep deprived, we were so hungry and our two young children were kicking off…the owners couldn’t have been kinder and our New York sandwich was delicious. The croissant they made our children had a heart made out of cucumbers on the side which nearly made me cry which goes to show how burned out we were but how grateful we were too. It really is the small things that go a long way and I highly recommend Bojangles. The coffee was really nice with a decent foam. Even after my toddler having a meltdown, I don’t feel too embarrassed to go back which speaks volumes.

Great tea room. They are dog friendly and have oat milk etc. Vegan offering was on the smaller side, but they have only just opened and I think are building up. It's definitely worth a trip.

What an excellent gem of a tearoom to discover! Food, cakes, drinks, all look delicious. Seating inside and out. Toilets are immaculate. Cakes baked on site. Well worth a visit.

Very clean friendly staff good for snacks and fablous coffee very peaceful and toilets clean top marks in fact top marks for everything

Lovely decor, atmosphere which are all aviation themed. Free WiFi on site and on a sunny day you can watch the planes take off and land in the air field outside. There is a field to do dog walking. Highly recommend the cappuccino and flat white. The former vibes with the distinctive plane logo imprint as seen on the photos. Coffee quality is far superior to that found in the chains.

This is an amazing find. The service was top notch and the iced coffee was divine. The dog was welcomed and watered. All in all a fantastic experience, I plan to introduce all my friends and make sure small local places helping the community are kept alive

Lovely place, central to Willesborough community. No prices, pay as you feel donation-based offering. Fantastic coffee ☕, cakes 🎂, hot chocolate 🍫

What an amazing place! Just passing through and thought I would stop off here to grab a coffee. Community feel, friendly staff and a "pay what you feel like" attitude is so welcoming. Would definitely find an excuse to pass through here again. Highly recommend!

An excellent and clean community café in Willesborough which offers top rate drinks and some food and has a "pay what you feel" attitude. Staff pleasant, two floors and free WiFi. Very good.

Great restaurant with friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Food was delicious and served in a timely manner. The WW2 decor has a very interesting history and adds an extra charm that you don’t get at a lot of other cafés. 100% recommend if you’re in the area and fancy a tasty brunch!

A quirky characterful themed cafe with the tone set by the owner and staff. Well worth a visit. It is a small place so a bit crowded and food took a while but lots to look at while you wait and it was worth waiting for. Generous portions well cooked.

Amazing cafe, staff are absolutely wonderful and cheery! Elz the man that owns the cafe is a proper laugh!! The food is lovely, I’ve been in a few times now and the two waitresses are very kind, lovely and helpful. It’s a clean local cafe. Lisa the cook is very friendly and lovely. Atmosphere is amazing, everyone talks to eachother and there’s 80’s music! Service was astounding like usual. And it’s a dog friendly cafe so bring all your pups!! Would urge anyone to come here with family or friends!!

The Hosts with the Mosts none feel on entering that they have ever been a strangers in this wonderful welcoming place. Chapeau to u both. Safe bike storage too.

To be honest, I read the reviews first before deciding to have my mid-morning breakfast during my one-night stay in Birchington. This little place is a gem! The lady who served me was ever so welcoming - I felt completely at ease! She seems to know all her customers by name and I was delighted to be part of such a warm atmosphere. My breakfast was perfect - I should have had second helpings! I highly recommend Zara's!

Lovely place, called in for breakfast this morning, so nice, we went back for a roast dinner this afternoon ! friendly service, good food served nice and hot (and on a hot plate) at a reasonable price. will definitely call again. well done ladies.

Proper English cafe, real tea proper food lovely service, feels like walking into a family home in the respect that everyone seems to be on first name terms! I had Breakfast No 2 with Scrambled Eggs and extra toast on the side! Went there with my best friend who knew everyone there! If you're looking for delicious food served in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with ample on street parking, this is the place for you! Popular with locals, and visitors like me alike!

This is a real treat of a café. Zara and her partner are so friendly and welcoming. The coffee is great and the food is yum, real homemade treats. We have been going for years with my aunt, but hadn't been in ages, however Zara remembered me and as usual had a lovely warm welcome. It's one of my favourite places in Birchington.
