The Best Cafes in Chattenden, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

Protect these guys at all costs. Very glad to have a new great local coffee shop and bakery. Decent local roast coffee, and their fresh cinnamon buns are stunning as you can actually taste it and are not packed with sugar which is amazing. Totally lives up to the hype in the area, heard of them from a friend and decided to pop over to try their coffee.

We love coming every weekend to third wave for coffee and their delicious pastries. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. LA and Scarlett who work there are always so friendly and welcoming, they always deliver a great service. We will be back next weekend.

My daughter and I love Third Wave Coffee and it has become our Saturday ritual to pop in for coffee and cake whenever we can. The pastries and cakes are amazing with lots of different options to try. We went before Christmas and I had the best sausage roll i've ever tasted- baked by Roni i believe. The coffee is great too. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and lovely- LA especially. Our favourite cafe in Rochester...

Absolute gem of a place, found completely by accident looking for somewhere to have a cuppa and wait while my Niece took her theory test round the corner. A group of ladies were just leaving after having what looked like a delicious afternoon tea; and the owners were absolutely fantastic and extremely welcoming and accommodating in letting me wait, even though they had closed while I was waiting. There were examples of beautiful homemade birthday cakes on display, that the owner makes freshly to order, to your requirements, and the menu looked great. I will definitely come back here, even though we don't live locally. I would make the journey, purely based on what I experienced this afternoon and how lovely the owners are. Very highly recommended

Lovely food and great service big portions reasonable price highly recommend.

This is a long overdue review for Cafenetics. For years now we have always been a fan of this Cafe and their food. They have the best cheese sauce ever, generous servings and ingredients, fresh salads, delicious curries, etc. We love everything about this place. Thank you Tahmina and Asif for the best service and for always serving good food. More power!

I was blown away with my order from Beantown! The staff were lovely and helpful when ordering. I had ordered once online which was great but my load fries were much more than I expected. I also had a lovely vanilla chai iced latte. My girlfriend’s American breakfast also looked amazing and her hot chocolate was top-notch. I would recommend and will be making another visit again hopefully to also get some cannoli and arancini which I’m sure will be amazing as was my pistachio croissant I had.

Wonderful breakfast. Good quality produce, well presented and good portion sizes. The cappuccino was really well made - much better than the regular chains! Do not leave without sampling the Canolli - delicious! Lovely friendly waitering team.

This is our 5th time here, we love it. The staff are enthusiastic, lovely and can suggest the best items. Good coffee, breakfast served late and a nice mix of lunch items. Dog friendly and they make a fuss of your fur children. Good for dates, brunch, lunch and with friends and family. We tried the afternoon tea this time and started eating before taking a photo sorry

I came here today, had some food and lovely drinks, absolutely delicious! Staff were amazing & so polite, I would definitely recommend and will be back! ☺️

Very lovely atmosphere for dining out! Excellent service and food was just magnificent. The menu is very versatile and has many options, lots of drinks to choose from too which was great. We didn't have to wait long and the staff made sure we have everything we need. One of the best places to go to if you want a cosy yet exquisite evening. The location is close to Rochester castle so if you want you can have a nice walk after dinner. Me and my partner enjoyed every second. Definitely coming back again for brunch next time!

This restaurant is STUNNING. My favourite place I’ve been to so far in Rochester. The only downside (for me) was the lack of main meal options. I’m not a fan of meat, and they only had meat options. The chef did end up making me a vegetarian option which was a cauliflower steak with roasted veg, which was really lovely of him. But I would love for a chicken option. The bruschetta was the best thing I’ve ever flipping tasted like OH MY. And the staff are WONDERFUL.

Great place for authentic Italian food. The pizzas and other food ordered like risotto were very well presented and tasted good. All fresh produce, the service was relaxed and friendly. Good wine selection. It's great for large groups or lone diners. Reasonabley priced too. Clean and well presented. Definitely would recommend visiting here.

What a lovely place for Saturday brunch in Rochester. Very good menu options, including vegan and gluten-free. I enjoyed my pea and mint soup, and the staff was very attentive to my food intolerance. My friend enjoyed vegetarian truffle pastry with veg and mashed potatoes. Very nice and clean restaurant, lovely ambient and staff.

I had the No 4 on the set menu and the food was tasty and good value . The bubble, egg, sausage, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, beans and toast was spot on. I also loved the fact that the owners looked after and chatted with the older customers who were in the cafe at the time we visited even though they were very busy.

Great cafe with close by parking. Perfect for a good meal before exploring Rochester. It's definitely more value than some of the more pretentious establishments along the high Street. Definitely recommend Legends.

Friendly staff , tasty and good sized food popular cafe too , cash and card

Popped in for breakfast on day off. Excellent quality food, friendly staff and clean. Best fry up had for ages. The price however was the best thing for the quality of food 😋

My first visit today 14.06.24 for lunch, I took my seat and found it to be the most comfortable chair I have sat in for a place to eat, the table had every condiment needed for what was on the menu and what a menu! Everything is locally grown - fresh, full of flavour and cooked to perfection! I had a cup of tea that came with a Jug of milk so you can pour in your desired quantity. The waiting staff were happy, pleasant, friendly, quick to serve, quick to seat customers and constantly asking "is everything okay"?. Tags is light, airy, spotless clean. Music plays in the background which is perfect and easy to listen to and I am sure I caught myself "tapping my feet" to it. I highly recommend Taggs in Hoo and look forward to my next visit. Thank you Taggs!

Absolutely love it there very friendly and lovely food and drinks definitely going there again x

Really enjoyed my ham and cheese croissant with salad garnish and crisps on Friday 16th February. I also had the Turkish Delight hot chocolate which was out of this world! Will definitely be back and tell my friends to check Lenny’s out.

What a find! A stones throw from the main tourist street is Lenny's. Simple food, amazing cakes and sensible prices. Indoor and sheltered outdoor seating ( dogs outside). Beautifully maintained toilets. Afternoon tea, with the trimmings, £5.50!

The poor lady serving was on her own and was very busy, but nothing was too much trouble. A lot of the food had sold out but she managed to get us some bread as our autistic son was fixed on having some toast. Also dog friendly. Would recommend.

Naomi has been so friendly and accommodating arranging a lovely afternoon tea, unfortunately at the last minute we were unable to attend but she boxed everything up for us to make sure we didn’t miss out. We ended up ordering some more food and cakes to takeaway and everything was absolutely delicious! Looking forward to going back for another visit. Would recommend to everyone.

Great sized venue with plenty of seating very long wait for food and drinks but the staff were super friendly

We have visited a few times and each time it feels comfortable warm and welcoming. It naturally feels like you can just relax
