The Best Cafes in Boughton Lees, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Me and my girlfriend are regular here, easy choice for a fantastic brunch place for me. Brilliant food, lovely atmosphere and staff with affordable prices. Halil is a star, love eating here as always. And the orange juice is worth it on its own to come here!!!

Really good cooked breakfast.😋 Friendly efficient service! Good to chat with the local regulars. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Came across this little gem and have to say we were not disappointed! The service was great as was the food! All freshly made and everything cooked perfectly! Will definitely be back thankyou!

Very friendly service, breakfast was delicious everything was perfectly cooked and really good value for money. Good menu, plenty of choice and the option to add on to your breakfast which is always nice. Will definitely be returning

Went for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised with the food and service, which was very friendly. If you are after a traditional, quaint British cafe, then this is the place to go in and around Biddenden. I would happily go back here for food and drinks again. Highly recommended.

This is a little jewel in the countryside. A lovely family-run business, with generous portions and the food is delicious. Service is brilliant with very friendly staff, and the location is beautiful. Highly recommended place to stop for lunch or a quick coffee!! Be warned, it can get busy at lunch time!

Been coming to the Bakehouse for years now. Location is beautiful, wonderful decorating inside and out. Emma and rest of staff are always friendly and very helpful. Food is locally sourced and beautifully cooked. Might have to wait a little if busy, buts will worth it. Refreshing to attend a business that promotes the use of cash

Probably the best coffee experience I’ve had in the UK. Visited today with my best friend after they had raved about this shop for months and it beyond exceeded my expectation. Despite being a relatively small cafe, the atmosphere was so welcoming and enjoyable! You can see where they roast all their beans in house too! We had gorgeously crafted oat milk Flat Whites and had the opportunity to sit by the fire on such a cold winters afternoon. Despite probably overstaying our welcome because the fire was so toasty, the staff were so kind and patient as I perused their tea options, debating which to buy as a gift for my partner. Overall an incredibly delightful experience and I would recommend to everyone to visit this small local cafe! Support local!

A MUST visit if you’re in the area! This is one of those places that you walk into and it immediately feels like home. You’re greeted by the wonderful smell of fresh coffee roasting as you get out of your car. The staff are so warm, friendly and inviting. We enjoyed a delicious range of coffees, hot chocolate’s and iced drinks along with some amazing home-baked treats (definitely don’t miss out on the famous bloss pie!). There’s also plenty of place for kids to play while your coffee craving is fulfilled! There is no doubt that this beautiful coffee roastery is run with such a love and passion for people and coffee. I would come back from the other side of the world just to visit again!

Lovely rural ambience. For the main part seating is outside, nice on a sunny day. Dog able to come too. Very nice coffee, and unusual Canadian origin bar/cake. Thoroughly recommend. Staff friendly and very welcoming.

Lovely cafe! It’s got great tasting coffee and cakes. The seating spaces are varied and include a usual cafe space, pretty garden and office den for home working.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Just had the best and biggest breakfast for a great price served by very lovely and happy lady's. Food was hot and fresh. Will definitely be back here to try some more of the menu. Thank you lady's, was the perfect treat after being away

Me and a friend went in and had the special breakfast. Best ever. All I can say if you are hungry go in and try tge food it’s top quality all at reasonable prices. On top of that the service is first class and staff are friendly, fast and efficient. Place is spotless. Go see for yourself.

I’m so glad my office moved to Ashford and this is now my fave place for lunch. The food is well prepared and tasty - some of the portions are huge. I always have the eggs royale which are impeccably cooked and the smoked salmon is beautifully flavoured and lean. It also does its own freshly squeezed orange juice, which goes down a treat.

Visited the cafe today for some lunch with my family. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the lovely girls behind the counter. The cafe was extremely busy and we were made aware there may be a wait for the food, which we were fine about. I feel this is a very well run establishment and well done to to the girls in there for managing the cafe, whilst being so busy - all with smiles on their faces. Food was amazing and fair priced with huge portions! Had my little girl with us and the waitress was very attentive! Will definitely recommend to my friends and family and will most definitely be returning when next in Ashford!

Lovely service! Always have a nice little chat and talk about things. Food is so beautiful, me and my partner come in here quite a bit and it’s always top tier food! Staff are so friendly which is lovely! We love this cafe!

Had lunch with my friend on a rather wet November day . I had steak sandwich and chips he has lasagne. We had tea and coffee in two big mugs . Came to 18.50 so excellent value . Food was very good. Nice steak and he enjoyed his lasagne . Plenty of it as well quick service and very friendly. I'm not local but I do visit fro. Time to time and would happily return .

I love this cafe the prices are really fair and the food you can rely on to be tasty every time!! Ayten is always super friendly and remembers the things I like which makes the experience better Ty Ayten 🙂🙂

I have been here many times, had breakfast today, but have eaten at lunch time, today one friend had Sunday lunch(roast) its lovely, proper roast potatoes, so nice, my other friend had pie, mash+liquor, they are freshly cooked, the staff and owner are lovely, polite and prices are great. And you can take photo's of the big tank outside

What a delightful gem in the heart of town! My partner and I stopped by on a whim today and were pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive, quick, and delivered with a smile. It was heartwarming to see the café acting as a welcoming hub for the older generation, with staff so familiar with their regulars that they knew their orders before they even sat down. This is exactly what a cafe should be! The portions were generous, and the value for money was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food and great service, lovely place, friendly staff

The staff are very friendly, polite and attentive. Service was great and quick. Food wasn’t that bad so i can say wow. Very reasonable price and well worth a visit if you are looking for a quick bite when shopping in Ashford.

Visited today with my friend after shopping and loved it. The atmosphere was lovely as well as service and food was reasonably priced. Highly recommended 👌

Had a breakfast here for the first time, staff friendly, efficient service and generous portions. Very good would recommend

I love the food here , a good proper breakfast!! A good selection of food to choose from and the bread And butter is proper bread and butter ! I'm talking fresh bread 🍞 My only dislike is the noise levels ,not their fault at all. But when there's a lot of people in the cafe it's extremely loud, but you can eat outside if it's a nice day. The prices are reasonable but it's cash only. Parking is limited but you can park along the road and walk up. Wheelchair and pushchair accessible.

If I could give this 6 Stars I would. First time here. Lady who served me was full of life and chatted and joked with everyone. Proper sized mugs of tea and coffee. I had a bacon baguette and they used Tiger bread which made it even more delicious. Others were having the full English and they also looked very good. Toilet and facilities were in immaculate condition. Slight downside was they only took cash. However, if ever I'm in the area again, it would be my first choice.

Best fry up in Kent! We only ever come here for breakfast, so we haven't tried their lunch items. However, their breakfast is incredible. They have a few different fry up options for you to choose from, I always get a set 1, and I change the option for chips or bubble to hash browns. The set 1 and other options comes with crusty bread or toast and a tea, coffee or cold drink. It is cash only, but there is a BP around the corner with a cash point. However it does have a £2.50 charge.

Excellent food including lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Staff are very friendly. Lovely atmosphere and surrounding grounds. I especially like the bird table screens where you can see the birds feeding while you enjoy your food and drink.

Just love being here tucked away in this peaceful location! Such welcoming service with a smile and amazing food....whatever you have! I love the cheese scones and toasted sandwiches.

Lovely local food, good service and just a nice place to sit, enjoy nature and meet up with friends! The bacon sandwiches are the best, but so is everything else on the menu.

Best Christmas lunch in Ashford!

Quite good english breakfast for 6£, tasty oats, super friendly staff!

I needed to find an establishment in Ashford that could make and deliver cup cakes for a 90th birthday celebration. I do not live in the area but The Little Teapot was recommended to me by a friend. At quite short notice, everything was sorted for me (super efficient) by Russell and Jacqui. The cup cakes were beautiful and were delivered on time. Highly recommended.

Loved visiting here! Been here twice in the last month. Lovely friendly service and a great selection of food. Gluten free options too. Not keen on the foamy milkshakes but the coffee is delish! I’ve just revisited for my birthday and OH MY GOD the afternoon tea is amazing!!!! Literally so much for all displayed lovely! The taste is incredible and the staff work tirelessly to ensure the customers are happy! My favourite place ever!! Don’t delay!!! Go and Visit and see for yourself :)

I had the smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich on wholemeal bread, with a salad garnish. My friend had a scone, clotted cream and strawberry jam (other fruit ones available). Pot of tea and a coffee. The menu was nicely varied with some classic options such as Jacket potato, brie and bacon to name a few. Nice themed decorations about tea and cakes with teapots around the ceiling on a winding shelf. Friendly staff.

Great food!! Lovely, immaculately clean cafe and very friendly staff.

Excellent jacket potato with tuna. Std all day breakfast ok. Had better elsewhere for the money. The burger and chips coming out of kitchen looked good. Has a child menu and extensive varied menu. Staff efficient and friendly.

I visited on Friday 1st November with my grandson for a light lunch whilst we were in town. I never usually leave reviews but the service was excellent and the food was lovely, I would certainly recommend this café and will visit again.

The food is so yummy and the servers are always so welcoming and friendly. My favourite cafe in Ashford by far :)
