Rating: 4.9 (98) Price Level:
Service was very pleasant and the food was nicely cooked, the tea room is a bit on the small side and there is not a lot of parking, apart from that worth a visit.
Rating: 5 / 5
Visited for the first time today, we were met with a big smile and great service. My large breakfast was fantastic, good was fresh and hot. My Daughter cannot eat gluten so had to create a breakfast she could eat and the staff were very accommodating. Will definatley revisit.

Been looking to go here for a while after reading excellent reviews and can say did not disappoint. Lovely and clean, staff friendly and welcoming, seating inside and out. Food was lovely and nice and hot and good value for money, will definitely go back.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely environment, quality food. Not much capacity for larger groups, so you may not be guaranteed a seating on arrival. The food menu is reasonably limited, but what you do get is well presented and quality. Overall a lively calm small business that takes pride in its food and service. Highly recommended. Last of all. There are no off-road parking spaces, so you have to search around nearby for any non yellow lined parking spaces.

No.64 Coffee & Brunch
64 High St, Chatham ME4 4DS, UK | Coffee Shop P: 01634 786080
Rating: 4.9 (101) Price Level:
I’ve popped in here a few times for brunch or lunch, and the staff are always lovely. Everything is freshly cooked and well-priced. They also have a free little library, and exhibit art from local artists. Highly recommend No 64 for dining in or takeaway. The bacon brunch toastie is God-tier.
Rating: 5 / 5
The staff in here are wonderful. We came in this afternoon and our cousin (who has learning disabilities) really, really wanted a full English. They had stopped serving breakfast but these lovely ladies kindly made him his favourite!! They treated him with such kindness and respect, and even let him use the staff toilets. Lovely food and great coffee, the New York deli toastie was incredible. Highly recommend! 😁
Rating: 5 / 5
No.64 is a gem of a café! The service is outstanding, with warm and friendly owners who always take the time to chat and make you feel welcome. The food is delicious, like homemade comfort on a plate, and their freshly made pastries are a real treat. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and beautifully inviting. Highly recommend!

Lovely little coffee shop with some of the best brownies I have ever tasted! My go to if I want to give a sweet treat as a gift as they sell them in presentation boxes. Great sandwiches with interesting fillings plus vegan options and oh my word. The sausage rolls. Big thumbs up from me
Rating: 5 / 5
Googled a coffee shop as I was in the area, this adorable coffee shop came up first so I gave it a try. WOW it’s a gorgeous little venue, with the most amazing cakes and homemade sausage rolls. Staff are very lovely introducing themselves and asking my name when I said I’ll be regular due to being in the area twice a week until February. Sat on the side table working and everyone that came in was on first name terms so are regulars, it was so lovely to see. I’ll be back next week, thank you ladies

Wonderfull full English breakfast with tea and toast. Excellent service and served really quickly. Shall definitely go back.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nibbles is a fantastic café in a beautiful spot, run by the wonderful Dave and Lindsey. The food is spot on - big, delicious breakfasts and top notch café style foods - overlooking the sports pitch and a few moments from the ‘excellent rated water quality’ river Rother. On the border of Kent and East Sussex, Nibbles is a great place to come with family and friends to enjoy the food and surroundings. Highly recommended.

Second day visiting this wonderful little cafe. Good prices, very warm welcome & SUPER fast/efficient service! Very large group of us. Nothing was too much trouble. Food is absolutely delicious and all freshly cooked. Their homemade pizzas are gorgeous! Thank you guys! We will be back!

Lovely lil streetside café, went there for Sunday brunch and managed to make a "pick your own" vegan breakfast with some nice options. Oat and soya milk available, as well as Jimmy's iced coffee with Oat milk. They also get in a vegan cake daily too, had the lemon one and it was DELICIOUS! Well baked and moist. The chef (and possibly the owner) came out and had a couple of chats with us, he seems lovely. We'll be back regularly I suspect.

Came all the way from Belgium and stumbled upon the gorgeous place to have a real English Breakfast. The food is AMAZING, place is cozy and very clean. Had a lovely chat with the owners of the place and gave me some good tips for my further travel inside the UK. I can recommend this place for everyone and bike enthousiast. Ill def come back for this breakfast all the way out of Belgium !!

Rating: 4.7 (408) Price Level:
A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!
Rating: 5 / 5
what a fantastic location right next to the river and lock. really nice walks and actually quite picturesque. the cafe is small with good selection. great place to sit by the river and watch the world go by.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely staff and lovely venue to sit and watch the world go by. Great for four-legged friends as well. Always have a sausage roll and a drink whilst the dog has a ice cream. Can get very busy at times as it's a very popular place.
Rating: 5 / 5
Fantastic place to stop for coffee and a snack if out walking or mountain bike riding like I was today. Had a flat white - was excellent as was the sausage roll. This will now be my preferred mid ride stop for this route. Blankets available with outside seating so you can enjoy a coffee even on those chillier days. Stopped by again a few days after this review mid ride. Coffee and steak pasty excellent. Really pleasant place to rest for a while by the river. PS be sure to look out for the bold as brass Robin who likes to snack on cake crumbs etc! June 2022 update - seats and chairs upgraded - this place continues to impress!
Rating: 5 / 5
Great place to visit for a snack and a hot drink whilst on a ride or walk. Recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A lot of building works have been completed recently so the area is looking fresh and welcoming with a new outside seating and canopy incase it’s raining. Thanks again for the great hospitality

Cafe Riviera

Rating: 4.5 (323) Price Level:
Nice breakfast, I opted for a set breakfast of sausage, two rashers of bacon, chips, beans, toast and a fried egg along with a can of drink for £9.00. Some of the chips were a little overcooked/crunchy but the rest of the breakfast was nice. They operate a loyalty scheme of a free meal once you have collected 8 stamps from paid meals, they have the same offer regarding drinks too. They have customer toilets which were clean and in decent condition. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely place good for a meal with the fellas, lovely atmosphere, only have two issues. 1. Chips are slightly overcooked but still are delicious. 2. The playlist needs a little more reggae
Rating: 5 / 5
What can I say…. This cafe is amazing . Popped in while walking past and ordered 2 set breakfasts and two cans of cherry coke. Our order was taken by a attentive waitress and when the food turned up it was just what we needed , not greasy and cooked to perfection. Keep up the good work cafe Riviera . Five ⭐️

What a Gem! Can’t believe I’ve never been here before. They really know how to professionally run a cafe. The service was great, the food was delicious and well priced. We had warm scones, clotted cream and jam with coffees. The oat latte was made perfectly and we can’t wait to come back. They gave us promotional discounts for their Sunday roast and breakfast options. Will return, thank you!

You would never think you was on Chatham High Street, I felt like I was in a lounge on the Costa del Sol. The food was amazing, fresh, full of flavour and presentation was awesome. Staff are very attentive and very welcoming, we only came for a light bite and we are coming back again for the Sunday roast!!

The best breakfast I’ve had in years !!! Doreen’s Blackpudding is a revelation (already bought some on line!). Staff are superb and the places is immaculate. Fantastic !!
Rating: 5 / 5
This was my first time visiting Cafe Nucleus, and will definitely be the first of many visits! Quick and friendly service, excellent food, and a lovely atmosphere to dine in. What a treasure hidden just off Chatham high street. It’s a dog-friendly place too so if you have dogs, definitely head here. They even have a dog menu (I don’t have a dog myself so can’t provide much insight on that). Kind of pricey, but worth it
Rating: 5 / 5
We have visited Nucleus Rochester in the past, and Necleus Chatham is a charming restaurant and forecourt. Great atmosphere and food was great with quality ingredients. The server Lillie Rose was very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended to support local and will surely return

A wonderful little tea room on the side of the garden centre. Very cosy and friendly. A nice quiet spot for a bit of lunch! My full English was delicious 😊. The antiques shop was also lovely too!
Rating: 5 / 5
Me and my husband have made a Christmas tradition of coming here for breakfast every year when we buy our tree! It’s been about 5 years and we still love the food and the atmosphere 😊 they always have mismatch crockery and different salt shaker sets on each table and it’s too cute! The service has always been fantastic and you can tell that they use quality, local produce and really fresh bread. If it ever closes down we will be heart broken!
Rating: 5 / 5
Fab tearoom! Very clean, and ample room for wheelchair access. Friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is comprehensive and the food is amazing! So much more than a tea room… highly recommend a visit.

My mum and I came here the other day after realising that a new nearby farm shop didn’t have an eat inside area. In fact someone at the farm shop recommended it to me. Lovely staff, great coffee, homemade cakes, excellent service… was really impressed and will definitely be back!

Great food, I'm going to put it out there one of the best breakfasts in Medway, clean tidy great atmosphere, great service. With the added bonus of the in house baked cakes and baklava is one of the best I've eaten outside of being in turkey Highly recommend
Rating: 5 / 5
I was so hungry when I arrived at melz kitchen and chose to have the triple bacon burger. I thought it would just be 3 patties bashed together BUT when I recieved this mountain of a burger that was bigger than my hand. The freshness of the burger was out this world. Halfway through the burger I was full. The juicy burgers with cheese just melted in my mouth. I finished the meal with baklava and ice cream. I can Honestly say I have never tasted something so incredibly outstanding then I have this pudding the juicy flakey but crisp baklava with pistachio pieces was out of this world. I even took a portion home for later. The interior was clean and had a lovely smell of fresh cooked products. I would definitely recommend this establishment for a quick pit stop or a family meal. The owners were polite and welcoming. Would definitely come again. Child friendly too which was a bonus

Rating: 4.5 (552) Price Level:
Had a fantastic experience here. The food was great and of good quality. Portions were more than generous and especially for a kids roast. The atmosphere was very unexpected with someone playing the piano by the entrance. People working there were all very fun and bubbly to be around and engaged with the kids too.
Rating: 5 / 5
We have become regulars here over the past few weeks - the staff are friendly, kind and helpful, there is always a positive buzz whatever time of day you're here and the food is delicious. For fellow vegans and people who are gluten free, there are gf and vegan options available. Leah's has become our favourite place to visit at the weekend - If you haven't been to Leah's before, treat yourself!
Rating: 5 / 5
We really enjoyed our experience today at Leah’s bistro. There’s a lot of choice on the menu, something for everyone, and everything is freshly made and cooked. We really enjoyed the food, it was delicious! Prices are really reasonable too - 2 adults, 2 kids - lunch (sandwich and panini, 2 x kids meals), drink and cake each, worked out at about £40. Definitely will come back. Staff are lovely as well, really friendly.
Rating: 5 / 5
A few years ago (different owners I believe), this place was not much to shout about. But now it's a regular breakfast venue for me and business colleagues. The service is always excellent, swift and welcoming. The coffee is very good and the food... well, we wouldn't go back if it wasn't great every time! Pictured is my beans on toast, which isn't actually on the menu but is never any trouble. My friend has the vege breakfast which he assures my is top notch.

Update 2024 December Had a roast lunch which was promptly ordered and served by polite very hard working staff. It was plentiful in size but could have been heated a little more evenly, this was £12 there was an OAP option for £10 which was smaller apparently. I though the cheese cake a bit expensive for its size £3.95. Update 2023 Staff were friendly and patient. We had a roast lunch each which was served very hot, portion size were just adequate. They were amazingly quick at delivering our meal after order.

Had a cooling iced latte followed by a tasty breakfast. The latter was freshly cooked and just the right size. Service was "with a smile" and prompt. Quiet music in the background. Highly recommend Puddings. They make delicious cakes as well.

Great cafe with very friendly and helpful staff. Came here for a coffee on a Saturday morning and because it was so cosy and staff were lovely we decided to stay for lunch. Coffees and teas are good and the lunchtime sandwiches are good. Would have preferred a bit more salad in my sandwich and crisps rather than tortillas with sandwiches would be better but bread was fresh and fillings plentiful. I had Brie and cranberry. We shared a brownie and this was fresh and tasty too (although didn’t realise they came warmed up so would have been better if staff had checked we wanted it warmed up). Despite a few criticisms on the food I’ve still given it 5 stars as the (female) staff were so friendly and helpful and happily working - a joy to see. Lovely seating upstairs as well as the tables downstairs.

Quality Cake heaven! Not just good value breakfasts but under the guidance of Manager Sarah, Chef Brandon bakes the very best cakes.. period. I had a Black Forest Gateaux and it was absolutely delicious..
Rating: 4 / 5
Set 3 for £12.50, came with toast. Added black pudding for £1 extra ( two very generous slices I may add). Filter coffee was good. Hash browns could do with being alot crispier as were bit soggy. Bacon was very nice thick cut. All in all very good food. Told the breakfast wrap was very nice. No price on the board. Clean premises with friendly staff. Keep up the good work ✌️❤️
