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

Perfectly placed to get a good coffee on your walk, they also sell treats for your doggo. Staff are friendly. If I had a niggle it would be that they close too early in the summer.

Great drinks. Everyone loved them. Great service. Thank you

Lovely frappe after and during a walk around the rec. Staff are always friendly.

I have to say that today I had the pleasure of being served by two lovely ladies. Scarlet and Daisy. They were so welcoming and explained everything in the menu to me, as I am a partially blind veteran. They not only helped serve me. They also helped carry my items to the bench. Due to my disability this would have made it impossible with my stick. They simply are a credit to the hat hat team. I most certainly will be be telling all my chums down the veterans rooms about this most wonderful friendly location. If only others would follow in there clear professional work ethic. I was surprised they were both not in senior management roles here. Marvellous!

Loved it here, popped in with my young son who’s obsessed with Jaws and boats. He had a hot chocolate with all the ‘trimmings’ and we shared a delicious carrot cake and I had a good coffee. The location is very special, right on the creek, a really nice atmosphere. The owner was friendly and despite being busy with orders was really quick. Looking forward to our next visit.

Quint’s Retreat is totally unique. I honestly don’t think there is another place like it on the planet. It’s a magnificently brilliant and fascinating and cute and interesting little cafe beyond Standard Quay just before you head out to the countryside, full of memorabilia from the film Jaws - which, if you grew up in the 80s like me was a staple part of growing up. But that’s not why you go here. You go to see the lovely JoJo and because she makes the BEST. SOUP. EVER. Who knew leek and potato soup could taste that good?! Such a brilliant experience that I’m grateful to have on my doorstep.

We love visiting Quints. The fish finger wraps are the best around and Jo is a lovely host who always makes you feel welcome . Lovely views to enjoy across the creek too.

Lovely little find after a chance recommendation. Small menu and just filter coffee, which was nice but I loved the quirkiness of it. Had a relaxing time in a little sun trap and a wonderful cheese toasty. Would definitely go back again if I was in the area.

Really cosy. Open fires. Delicious food and generous portions. All veggie. Friendly people. We'll definitely be back.

What a fabulous little gem of a place. The food was amazing, all sorts plus vegan and gluten free. It has the quaintest indoor and outdoor seating areas, and the staff are really friendly and helpful too.

Wonderful cafe and general stores with a wide range of teas, coffee, and fresh goods. Loads of comfortable spaces to sit, chat, and enjoy. Open fire. Very welcoming.

Such a lovely place ! The staff are so friendly and kind ! The food is so tastey and the place itself all feels like a warm hug

We called in for a coffee and were greeted by the friendly staff. We enjoyed the coffee and hearing customers around - they were all pleased too. There is a well kept area through the shop that can sit plenty of customers. It's lovely to be able support the local community and businesses.

My first visit to Whitstable. Decided that I fancied cake, as you do. Found this place that had a white chocolate and pistachio cake, couldn't resist. It was delicious! My parents had a massive bacon butty in doorstop bread with at least 8 rashers of bacon! Well worth a visit if you are in Whitstable 😁🍰☕

Very lucky I stumbled across this cafe today. Spent 8am - 4pm working from here and had the yummiest food and very warm and kind hospitality from Clive (Owner) and Cyd (Manager). Can highly recommend the avocado on toast (with bacon) and the brie and bacon ciabatta. The world needs more cafes like this 🙌🏼 - I'll absolutely be back.

The BEST bacon sandwich!! Lovely coffee shop with friendly and welcoming staff and great selection of cakes, will definitely be returning soon 😋

Always a good place to have a drink (hot or cold) and a bite to eat. Had a large cappuccino (huge) and a bacon and sausage roll. Lots of bacon and tasty sausage. Before or after a walk.

Very picturesque. Great selection to est and drink

Good selection of brownie and tray bake type cakes. I didn't eat this time, so haven't rated the food, just stopped by for a cold drink on a 10k run round the creek. Nearest toilets that aren't in a pub! Great location for a rest outside overlooking the water. There are also inside conservatories and the nearest to the counter has air con for days when it's just too hot.

Best breakfast of my life. Get the green eggs while you can! Service here is always so smiley. The community and creative aspect is perfect. Thank you to everyone who contributes here. Great space!

One of my favourite spots in Faversham. The food is delicious (amazing scones and cakes) and it is great to grab a bite and see what has been created in the studios. It is a great place and some of the art on display is truly impressive. Top spot in Faversham. 😊

Really lovely sitting in the courtyard having a homemade lunch, Roast Pumpkin and we think Moroccan black beans (cannot remember 😂) and a slice of bread (gluten free bread for me which was yummy) if anyone knows which beans they used that would be helpful as want to make it at home 😄

This was a first visit to the cafe - good range of vegan and GF offerings. Swift service of coffee and scones. Lovely range of items for sale in the craft area.

Absolutely lovely food and lovely service. We were in there today with our baby and staff were amazing. So attentive. They helped us get the baby in the high chair as we had no idea what we were doing. They gave her a snack and were really great when she got upset for milk. They were adamant that we didn’t have to clear up the food she dropped - but I will always clean up after her! All in all a wonderful family brunch trip - often people can be negative towards young babies when we go for food but you guys were great. Thank you again. We will definitely be back for a roast too - because that looked amazing!

Delicious tuna salad ! Generous portions with some juicy olives, light coleslaw and red onion. Always such good friendly service. And their coffee is the best in the town! . I often grab a cappuccino on my way to work and I always choose Moonlight over other cafes for my early morning pick up. Fab cafe !

The staff were really friendly, patient and displayed great customer service! I wasn't too keen on the food, but I think I just ordered the wrong thing, all the others on my table enjoyed their food 🙂.

Lovely little cafe , unfortunately they weren’t serving food as it was late-ish for them but the staff were really nice. The coffee the lovely lady made was perfect and rather surprising the milk they used agreed completely with me. Generally it has an after taste, but this one was pretty unique. It’s a clean, charming place too. Looks rather reasonable in price too.

All round 5* experience... Not fast food, but great food made as quick as they can. Impeccable service, quality food and reasonably priced. Couldn't recommend enough! Will be visiting again soon.

Up there with one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. Fresh and hot with great quality ingredients all served quickly, and only cost a fiver! The staff are so attentive - nothing is ever too much. Can’t wait to come back and try lunch!

We recently had a breakfast wrap from Dolly’s diner not long after they opened, it was delicious. Both myself and my husband commented afterward how we didn’t feel like it was greasy and didn’t give us that bloated feeling after. Super friendly, clean and great menu selection. Also fantastic value for money.

A great addition to Faversham, Cafe Guild serves great food. We have had breakfast, light lunch and cakes. Eggs Benedict is always a favourite and the staff are refreshingly welcoming so will definitely be coming back. 👍

Nice bright and clean ambiance. Pretty inside. Friendly table service. Lots of choices including pancakes and French toast!!! We only came in for coffee and of course we needed to have the apple pie and nata! Had a nice relaxed coffee after exploring the area. Apple pie to take away and one of the slices barely made it to the car! Will definitely come back again to try the other stuff in the menu!

Lovely little cafe with fun 50s music playing at just the right level so we could still talk easily. We had hot salt beef and dill pickle sandwiches served with crisps and salad, they were delicious! My husband had a cappuccino and I had a pot of tea and proper china cup and saucer. This place is fabulous and we'll be back for cake next time we're in the area!

Yesterday, my husband and I had lunch at this cafe for the first time. We were immediately impressed with the professionalism of the staff. They were very welcoming, knowledgeable re their menu and products and nothing appearing to be too much trouble. The quality of the food was very good for the reasonable price. The cafe being very clean, light and airy with pleasant, but not too loud, background music. Unfortunately we don't live in this part of the country otherwise we would be regular customers. One of the owners, who introduced herself as Hazel, to ensure the food etc was all we wanted it to be, was very pleasant. We would definitely recommend this cafe and would highly rate it.

Had a lovely full English breakfast. The luxury hot chocolate was absolutely delicious!! It's a lovely cosy little establishment.

Fantastic food. We had the full English, all dietary requirements were catered for. The staff we so attentive and friendly. We couldn’t have felt more welcomed.

The bacon sandwich was spot on. Great quality bacon, perfectly cooked, with soft, buttery bread and just the right amount of ketchup. Not too greasy, not swimming in fat like some places. You can tell the new owner is making some real improvements. It’s just what Faversham needs, and I can’t wait to come back!

I once lived in the swale area close to Faversham and always termed Cosgroves as a favourite. Now I live in the west Midlands but still upon seeing family back here in North Kent I couldn't resist coming back here where friendly staff remember me well. One place for a meal or coffee should not be missed.
