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

First time there and will definitely be back. Extensive menu all prepared fresh to order, really good food. We had a mixture of hot (omlettes) and cold food (baguettes & salmon avocado toast) which was all delivered to the table together. Some outdoor seating and within walking distance of Walmer Castle. Friendly staff and good value. Also sells small antiques!

Visited here on my way to Walmer Castle after seeing the reviews. Fab food, friendly staff and a much welcomed cup of tea after walking from Deal on a very hot day. Would thoroughly recommend if you are visiting Deal 😊

A warm and friendly welcome on arrival. We sat outside as today was unusually warm for February. We both had omelette, which were excellent followed by cake, which was also great. Recommended.

Fantastic cafe on all levels! Friendly welcome and service from Charlie and team. Delicious food, we had poached eggs and crumpets. Excellent coffee. Eclectic garden/decor!

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 😁🍰☕

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

Popped in here last minute for breakfast as the other cafes were busy and rushed. Service was lovely, portions were generous and coffee was delicious. We sat inside but there was nice seating out the back and would recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. Prices were really reasonable - I got the bacon sarnie and left full and happy.

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.

Been here a few times. Really good coffee, cakes, food and a good selection of proper teas. Always a warm greeting from the staff, all very happy and friendly. Dog friendly. Nice atmosphere. Would recommend 👌

Really lovley friendly people, dog friendly, and there's a nice little garden out back to sit in! I definitely recommend the fish finger sandwich! :)

An all round great spot. Amazing food every time and coffee that really hits the spot, all delivered by the genial staff. We love a breakfast here to start to our day!

My husband and I were sleep deprived, we were so hungry and our two young children were kicking off…the owners couldn’t have been kinder and our New York sandwich was delicious. The croissant they made our children had a heart made out of cucumbers on the side which nearly made me cry which goes to show how burned out we were but how grateful we were too. It really is the small things that go a long way and I highly recommend Bojangles. The coffee was really nice with a decent foam. Even after my toddler having a meltdown, I don’t feel too embarrassed to go back which speaks volumes.

It’s more than just a place to eat. Friendly service and good food. All vegan with a great amount of options. I like to sit on their little couch to chill down and read the recipe books they offer.

It filled me with joy knowing nothing on the menu was off limits - the only difficulty was which of the many offerings to choose. I went for the mac and cheese with truffle, the mister had peanut curry. Both dishes were fresh, filling, and full of flavour. The team are welcoming & friendly, service was brill and the food blew us away. Herne Bay is so lucky to have this amazing place 🌻💚

So great to have a vegan spot in the town! Super varied and delicious food menu with lovely staff. Don’t be put off by the odd location, it’s very cosy to sit in or take away to sit on the beach. Will come back!

Beautiful Cafe! Such positive and vibrant vibes ✨️ Great customer service! Makes the most mouth-watering vegan milkshakes and Smoothies, not to mention their delicious budda bowls and cakes! 100% recommend this cafe to anyone who wants amazing food and service!

Lovely place...first time...great mocha and baguette...super people. Couple of tables outside and a garden area if you have a doggie... ...will be going alot more...😃 Large mocha £3.60, bacon brie cranberry baguette £5.50

We sat downstairs which was nice and peaceful. The place was busy and the waiter was apologetic about a delay. We hadn't noticed a delay. Service was perfectly prompt. We had the smaller breakfast with tea. We loved it. The hash browns were a particular highlight as was the fact you get an actual pot of tea each (my wife went for a green tea I think). Perfect place for an English breakfast. We will definitely be back.

There are many good things I can say about this place. At the top of the list is the super-friendly host. She will make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The interior itself is very cozy, with some space downstairs as well. I was here on a quiet day, but I can imagine this place buzzing with energy when full. As for the food, I had the best English breakfast I've had in the UK here. The ingredients were of good quality and cooked to perfection. It definitely filled me up. The cakes were great too; the Brazilian Carrot Cake is a must-try. I was told the menu will be expanded in due course, so I'm really looking forward to it. Will most certainly return when I'm next in the area.

10/10 full English breakfast. Cute courtyard to sit in and really friendly and welcoming team. Only small comment is the coffee could have been stronger but a great place for a top quality brunch in Thanet

I was really impressed with cafe solo. We went there for breakfast and I really couldn't fault the food - I wanted a good fry up and that's exactly what I got. The milkshake here is also some of the best I've had around Canterbury, actually made using ice cream with a dollop of cream on top. The only reason I haven't put 5 stars for the food is because it didn't wow me like my other 5 star reviews, but it was still very decent. The staff were super friendly but gave us the space we wanted to eat together, the space was clean, and we were even surprised with complimentary Turkish delight. Overall, would recommend. They have a small carpark, but there are supermarkets nearby.

Perfect little Cafe if you're in the Wincheap area, fair prices, huge portions, great flexibility on build your own breakfasts. They have an extensive menu and even offer smoothies if you want to counteract the fry up 😋 Polite and efficient staff, overall great experience again!

Me and my friends stopped by this lovely restaurant for lunch and it was absolutely amazing. The guy who served was so polite and the environment was so friendly. Cute interior giving out retro vibes.The food was in hearty portions and the cappuccino was out of my expectation! The froth was perfect and airy with the chocolate powder dusted evenly on top. I highly recommend this place if you want something simple but delicious.

My family and I had a lovely breakfast in this cafe. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, special shout out to Megan 1.0 for looking after us so beautifully. I was so hungry I forgot to take a photo of my vegetarian breakfast (which was delicious). So I took this one off the outside seating area :)

Been coming here for a while now, never fault the service, food and even the price. Staff are lovely, food is delicious and all well worth the money, would highly recommend. Best cafe in Thanet!

I have Been two times now, and both times have had lovely service, lovely cooked food, even the jacket potato and salad was lovely my mum loved that especially as you got the offer of beetroot aswell. I had today the mega breakfast with additional black pudding 7. 50 all in. Great value. great service, always welcomed with a hello and how are you. Also has in place covid adhearance for people worried about that with sanitisation before you enter and screens around the counter. Roasts look good too aswell lovely veg, meat, Yorkshire aswell as fresh milkshakes that I see everyone having when in there. Must try one next time 👍 give it ago it will become like me my go to cafe 👌👍

Great value Cafe serving decent food, well cooked and served with a smile. We had an omelette each, mine with chips, and my Dad's with a freshly prepared salad...plus coffee...for £15

Fantastic place for a full breakfast. Food is always cooked to perfection. Staff are lovely and very competitive prices Update: We went on a Sunday to try the roast, 3 seperates were ordered ( chicken, pork and beef). All came out together and all were piping hot and were absolutely lovely. Now we are torn for roast or breakfast next time we go

Fantastic breakfast to start the weekend. It’s a beautiful setting and we loved the dishes, in particular the American pancakes, savoury, sweet and satisfying.

I went with a friend to the Grinch Afternoon tea. I've been to several of the afternoon teas.. not reviewed till now. I've made a point of doing it today as it was once again a 'can't stop smiling' experience. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. The menu is lovely and so creative. It's the attention to detail that I always love so much. Even down to things like the 'ice' shard and the little tart with the lane grinch logo on. Each afternoon tea is obviously well planned out and any dietary adjustments are made so they still fit the theme. You get so much for your money and I love that you can box up and take home the rest. The drinks are also never ending, very generous and you are never rushed even when you can tell they are getting ready for another sitting. (Happened on another occasion- a friend and I had chatted for so long we were the only ones left. The staff were still really friendly and chatty, answering random questions I had.) There is beautiful decorations everywhere which are hand painted and details galore. A really nice touch was a candy cane on the grinch plate and there is always a puzzle on every table. To the team, keep doing what you're doing, you're bringing a lot of joy, cleshay yes but true, its very much appreciated. To anyone else, pick a theme you like and get booked in.

I had breakfast at the Lane for the first time today after my partner had been with some friends for lunch and loved it, i was so excited and the breakfast definitely did not disappoint. The pancakes and coffee were delicious, the service was super quick and friendly and I would love to come and try some of the items on their new menu too !

Great little place. Very friendly and great service. I had the American pancakes with streaky bacon and maple syrup. Normally this isn't too special but this was prepared very well. Ordered a cappuccino and it was surprisingly good too. Fair pricing and great food. I recommend for sure!

This place is a must, if your looking for breakfast! Nice staff, dog friendly, good atmosphere, right next to the sea. The food was amazing, the English breakfast comes with tea or coffee included for only 12 Pounds. And you can NOT complain about the portion sizes here, if your hungry this is the place for you. Absolutely recommended.

Nice cafe right by the beach. We had our breakfast here. A big and a regular English breakfast and tea.All very tasty especially the sausages.We sat outside watching the world go by. The staff even feed the dogs sausages.

A great start to our Sunday morning - super quick service, good coffee and tasty pancakes! Prices are reasonable and an excellent location.

Wow, what an awesome cafe! I work just round the corner at the university and have been meaning to try this place for a while. I was not disappointed! The decor and vibe of the place is very welcoming, and the service was impeccable. I ordered the set 2, which was great value for about 8 quid considering it includes tea and toast/bread. Every part of the meal was cooked perfectly and the ingredients are good quality. Sausage was nice and herby too which is just how they should be. Will definitely come again more regularly to support such a well-run establishment with superb food and value.

Absolutely gorgeous breakfast! Friendly staff and a lovely, traditional cafe atmosphere. Will definitely be going back!!

Nice breakfast spot, good prices and portion sizes, food came quick, helpful staff

Great food, friendly staff and flexible with food choices. Worth every penny
