It really nice. The breakfast was really tasty and we had it at lunch time. I like going there as its on the East Kent railway and being in the countryside good for relaxing.

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.

I found this place on Google maps on a visit to Dover and I could not be happier with my experience. Warm welcome by all the staff. Friendly and helpful. Decor was fresh and the place was bigger than I expected for a high street cafe. Food was cooked perfectly.

TEN STARS for this place. Scone warm with butter and jam was out of this world. Hubby had eggs, bacon and toast. MOST FRIENDLY PEOPLE EVER. LOVED THIS PLACE
Rating: 5 / 5
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!

Rating: 5 / 5
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.

Gourmet Kitchen
124A Sandgate Rd, Folkestone CT20 2BW, UK | Cafe P: 01303 255762
Rating: 4.6 (230) Price Level:
Excellent full English, happy to accommodate one change and what a delight to find a chef who knows how to cook tomatoes and add herbs to enhance. This is a rarity! The quality of ingredients was excellent, bacon nice and crisp as requested, delicious sausage. Friendly and warm service, clearly a popular place with some tables reserved. I asked for both my drinks (chai and flat white) to be extra hot. They were reasonably hot but not extra hot. I always ask everywhere I go because I can't bare tepid drinks! Highly recommended! Thank you 😊

Just came across the cafe while taking a walk and took our chance for nice little brunch, turned out to be really amazing the coffee and the food was spot on. Highly recommend the place

I've never been able to get into the Gourmet Kitchen when I have visited. Folkstone, what just happened that it was quiet when we walked past today. The 4.7 rating on Google is very, very well deserved! Service is excellent, The atmosphere very convivial and the food is amazing. I have a soft spot anything with pastrami and gherkins and I was not disappointed with the lovely toasted sandwiches we ordered. The bagel avocado, mozzarella and roasted tomato bagel was epic 🙂. We will be back!

A very tasty brunch, fresh with quality ingredients, not greasy at all. I had a vegan and my partner a full English brunch. We both left happy and very full, with a piece of cake and a sourdough bread to go 😊 The staff is very friendly too. It's not the first and definitely not the last time we will visit!

FirstLight Bistro
1-3 The Droveway, St Margarets Bay, Dover CT15 6DH, UK | Cafe P: 01304 279863
Rating: 4.7 (230) Price Level:
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.
Rating: 5 / 5
Absolutely one of my new favourite places to go! The staff are always super polite and welcoming, and do whatever they can to ensure you have a lovely experience. Food is A-Ma-Zing!!! And super affordable. I recommend you get their homemade cakes 😍 Highly recommend!

Fantastic little cafe in st Margaret’s Dover the good was amazing and the portion sizes were generous aswell nice atmosphere and the staff were all friendly and talkative aswell would definitely recommend to anyone in the area
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

I don't know how the bar is, but in a daytime it's the best place to take a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

We needed a fast breakfast and they have been super kind and fast, delicious cakes and good cappuccino
Rating: 5 / 5
They do very good food with nice generous side salads. The staff are friendly, hardworking, folk and it's a good place for coffee. The clientele are a mixed bag. If you're lucky it's peaceful, but at other times the bling bling tracksuit mob turn up and treat the place like a pub taking loud phone calls in various languages.

Good priced breakfast, decent portion and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the coffee was not very good therefore the 4 stars.

Amazing menu even though we had a fry-up. Great coffee, too, and very well priced. I've done many reviews and am ranked in the top 10 of Google restaurant reviewers, take it from me. You will not be disappointed. 5/5 fabulous 👌

Amazing little café! The staff is very friendly and fast. The selection is very good and very affordable. Food is well made and delivered quickly. Everything on the plate, from panini to fries to salad was delicious! They also have amazing coffee that's very professionally made and delicious dessert. Recommend for tourists passing through and any locals that haven't already found this gem.

Great place to eat on Cheriton High Street near the bus stop. I had a small breakfast which was tasty and cooked lovely, nice and hot, the egg was nice and tasty, along with the sausage and bacon, and beans. The fried bread was very nice too. Comes with a cup of tea. Good price for a breakfast £7.50. The service was very quick and the staff nice and friendly. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Stopped in for a breakfast to take with me to the train station. I ordered a decaff iced coffee, and a bacon, brie and cranberry panini (£10.90 all together). The coffee and food came quickly, and I took it away to eat. The panini was delicious, and the iced coffee was good too, just could have done with some sugar added to the hot coffee before it was poured, but I didn't ask for sugar so that was my error. The manager was around checking things and the staff were friendly, wearing their hair coverings and were presentable and clean. I'd recommend this establishment and will very likely be back again, next time I'm in Dover.

My first visit under the new management, very pleased with the quality of food and coffee, straightforward menu. Will definitely come back to try breakfast another time!

We didn’t realise this was a halal restaurant when we came in but actually really enjoyed the halal English breakfast - everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty, and they were very good on ensuring my food was dairy free. Kids also enjoyed calamari and chips, and a panini, and generously sized smoothies. Service was exceptionally friendly. Definitely recommend!
