Had a great experience at The Hat Hats Coffee in Whitstable, located inside the food court on the first floor of South Quay. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I was thrilled to find they serve OATLY, which is my go-to oat milk—something you don’t find everywhere. I’m not a fan of other plant milks, so this was a big plus. The coffee itself was excellent—strong, bold, and full of character. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

So I didn’t actually know about HatHats until they started serving coffee onsite at my work in Discovery Park, when I first had one of their coffees I was so impressed, the coffee was SO good & the staff were so friendly, just a pleasant break away from the desk! They’ve now opened up a more permanent coffee shop within Discovery Park, which is brilliant, their sweet treats are always amazing (so good.. I took one home for my partner!) We then stumbled across them at Whitstable today, which was a pleasant surprise. Again, greeted by a lovely young lady and as always the coffee & sweet treats were amazing! HatHats really have got things right - seriously good coffee an extensive premium drinks menu, dairy alternatives (including Oatly oat milk), delicious food, lovely staff & we can’t wait to return next weekend - thank you! I definitely recommend a visit to any of their stores.

Very good coffee - for those with a sweet tooth (like me) there were plenty of flavoured syrups to choose from! Also frozen yoghurt specifically for our dog. Situated on the first floor of the South Quay development, with seats and armchairs giving views over the harbour. A really pleasant spot and highly recommended.

Lovely coffee and friendly staff in a great location! Also a great idea to have the app that rewards regular customers. My only complaint is the music. It's way too loud early in the morning. It may be ok later in the day when there's lots of people around, and it becomes part of the general hubbub. But first thing in the morning I suspect customers want to just come in and chill (I do anyway) and not have to listen to a selection of 80s/90s bangers. Great that the South Quay Shed is dog friendly, too.
