What an amazing find! The Corner cafe serves the tastiest, most wonderfully cooked breakfast and lunch classics…and they have a cake trolley with beautiful home made cakes (the Bakewell slice is to die for) Easily the best cafe in Deal!

First time there and will definitely be back. Extensive menu all prepared fresh to order, really good food. We had a mixture of hot (omlettes) and cold food (baguettes & salmon avocado toast) which was all delivered to the table together. Some outdoor seating and within walking distance of Walmer Castle. Friendly staff and good value. Also sells small antiques!

A warm and friendly welcome on arrival. We sat outside as today was unusually warm for February. We both had omelette, which were excellent followed by cake, which was also great. Recommended.

Visited here on my way to Walmer Castle after seeing the reviews. Fab food, friendly staff and a much welcomed cup of tea after walking from Deal on a very hot day. Would thoroughly recommend if you are visiting Deal 😊

We’re a family of three who came on a Sunday morning for late brunch. As I mentioned to the service ladies, we loved their restaurant! The place is packed with collections of novelty/ relic and antique style of things and plants, even the black board with food of the day is a cute being. We did wait 30mins for food to arrive but the time we spent was worth while. Delicious delicates, thoughtfully displayed, worth the money, worth the photo post on Instagram, worth the like. Thank you guys!

Great cafe visit today , in fantastic spot, especially for sunny days. Had the a fresh and well dressed Greek salad, lovely quality cheese and big portion. Decent tea in a proper teapot. Quirky, interesting decor. Recommend.

Really impressed with this place. A bistro feel but cafe prices, with tasty lunch and drinks for less than £20. New local haunt in the town for us

Finally managed to have a bite here after trying for ages. Luckily for us, the rain kept the numbers down from going outside on this day! Gotta say the wait was well worth it. Tasty food, decent sized portions, very customer friendly prices and polite staff in a great establishment (especially if you pop downstairs). I would describe the dishes we had but the photos should give you a clue! Most definitely going to visit again and hopefully catch it on a sunny day, at the right time.

Amazing food at a really reasonable price. I had the tikka bread, girlfriend had the moules frites. Both were so good. Would recommend anyone to eat here if you’re in Folkestone, just a short walk up from the beach, through the old high street. Definitely coming back!

This is a lovely, lovely coffee shop, the atmosphere is warm, friendly and relaxed, the Manager/Owner and staff are calm and friendly and the place itself has 4 different seating areas - 2 are outside - the courtyard at the back is a delight. Super clean loos always a good indicator I feel - the whole place feels ‘loved’. Coffee is really good too … but the cake! Wow! THE best gluten free Lemon Cake (also choc brownie) I’ve ever had and so fresh! The icing on the cake is that they are SO dog friendly .. we really enjoy going there and so does our Teddie! Thanks for the doggy treats too!

The Best Coffee in Dover by a country mile. The staff here are great, friendly, and attentive, always ready to greet you with a smile. Whenever I visit, I always see a few familiar faces, indicative of the consistency of service. Could not recommend more. Food is simple Café food, done well (They stock Gluten Free Bread!), and there is a large selection of fresh pastries and cakes. Get in early because it fills up quickly, and if you visit in the summer, there's a beautiful, suntrap, courtyard garden out the back.

Discovered this charming restaurant while on a day trip in Dover. I found the atmosphere of another era, simple, authentic and friendly. After a quick browsing at the menu I went on a quest for an ATM as cards aren’t accepted. We had the breakfast 1 and 4, which are generous and tasty. But for me the surprise was the latte which was outstanding, of much better quality than many coffee shops. So if you visit Dover, don’t hesitate to stop by.

We visit this cafe as we are members of the EKR. We travel down from Lincolnshire quite often and head for the café in the morning. Always welcomed very clean great atmosphere. Food is cooked fresh & hot, good sized helpings, always empty plates. The breakfast sets you up for the day, recommend the brake van.

Excellent food made by the most charming lady! Three of us got either an egg and sausage or an egg and bacon sandwich, and we all loved them! Soft bread, delicious sausage or bacon and freshly fried egg - all for a reasonable price. Plus, we had a delightful conversation with the lady as she fried the eggs for our sandwiches. Bring cash or go to the cash machine around the corner like we did. No card accepted.

Having walked past this place on my way to the station for years, I finally went in the other day and it is just brilliant. The lady who runs it is lovely and she made me the best tuna salad roll - really quickly. The coffee is excellent and nothing is over-priced. Not walking past there any more if I can help it :-)

We casually discovered this place and were amazed by what it is. Everyone is welcomed and anyone pay how much he can. Even though it is a a social enterprise, the quality of the food is very high. We ate a roll with bacon, eggs and sausages. Lovely! Volunteers were friendly and polite. You should try it!

FirstLight Bistro is a charming little cafe in St Margaret's Bay that serves up amazing breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the staff are always happy to help. I've tried both the vegan and regular breakfasts, and both were delicious. The vegan breakfast is made with avocado, tomato, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, and toast, and it's packed with flavor. The regular breakfast is also very good, with all the classic ingredients you'd expect. I've also tried the sausage rolls. They're absolutely delicious, and they're a great option if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. For dessert, I recommend the biscoff or fruit bun. Overall, I highly recommend FirstLight Bistro. It's a great place to go for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee and cake. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

The First Light Bistro, now under new management, has truly transformed into a culinary gem. The star of the kitchen, Amy, has worked wonders with the menu, delivering dishes that are both inventive and delectably satisfying. Each bite is a testament to her skill and passion for cooking. The service is equally commendable—prompt, attentive, and unfailingly courteous, which adds to the overall delightful dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an exceptional meal. However, due to its growing popularity, it’s advisable to book a table in advance.

Really special little place and your order is made with care. I had fresh squeezed orange juice, a very smooth biscoff latte, and a avocado toast, all which made a great start to my Monday morning. Team was sweet and attentive.

Super enjoyable brunch with the family and dog! We really enjoy going to here, but it is not a place to go if you're in a rush... The service is notoriously very slow due to minimal staffing. Those of us that love the food and coffee accept this, but it's fair to say that it could be much speedier This place has a cosy, compact feel with windows around the majority of the perimeter, great for a bit of people watching... and is always full! Beautifully cooked food that ticks all boxes... Flavoursome, nicely served and filling. You won't leave feeling hungry

Had a weekend brunch at this nice cute cafe. Ordered the chicken and waffle. The presentation is lovely , and taste was great too. The only thing that caught me by surprise was that the waffle was quite soft and I thought it wasn’t cooked through. I let the staff and cook know and turns out that they use a batter that makes softer waffles as opposed to the crispy one that we usually have. They were very nice and made a crispy version for me afterwards, thank you, will be back!
