High Tide is a great place to go whether you want to work for an hour or let the kids play in their play area. Great coffee, food, and service! And they serve Gaza Cola too! 👍🏾👍🏾

Myself and the group I was with had a brilliant time, the play area was so helpful. Coffee was great, we had some snacks which we could not fault and the kids were able to play so the adults could enjoy themselves. Staff were helpful and lovely, it was a comfortable experience especially when bringing little ones out can be so difficult. They also have baby change facilities which is a life saver. We will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful experience at High Tide Social! The owner and staff were very friendly, and they make a *delicious* Cuban sandwich that I will definitely be returning for. Overall, the space has a warm, welcoming vibe and I’m looking forward to going back!

Best breakfast roll in Margate. Nothing but positivity and a perfect fit in the community. Recently had our daughter’s birthday there and couldn’t recommend it enough. Above and beyond with the end result!

What a great little place this is! We were struggling to find some vegan food at 5pm on a Monday in Margate and then came across this place. I had the Egyptian Koushary which was absolutely delicious and so filling, just what I needed. My partner had the Falafel with VG cheese, pitta bread, salad and Tahini and they really enjoyed it. There was about 4 tables outside and probably 8 (?) inside. The service was really quick (although they weren't that busy) and really welcoming. Will definitely visit again when next in Margate.

This little restaurant is one of the best I've come across this year. The people are genuine and friendly, and you can trust the owner to deliver authentic and delicious Egyptian food. I tried all sorts of dishes, and every single one was faultless in terms of taste. The food is truly amazing and delicious – I never expected such high quality. From the bottom of my heart, I'd give it 5 stars and hope to return soon. Thank you, Shreen and Sharif, for making us so happy today. We had a brilliant time!

Just had a delicious, high quality Egyptian meal here at a very reasonable price! We had the ful and fattah- both were very flavorful with generous portion sizes. The staff (perhaps the owner?) and the space were really warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

Delicious fresh food. I tried the Fata chicken, tasted amazing. The rice was made in away you can taste that it is well cooked, not just streamed rice. I don't know what is exactly the sauce they put on the rice but it was amazing. The crispy bread inside the rice was a bonus. The chicken was awesome too The fact that is a family business make you feel that food made with love

Yes definitely not bad breakfast. In fact, excellently cooked breakfast in awesome atmosphere! Place is very clean (I was surprised how clean I don’t know why!) Service super friendly. There were one friendly lady serving and two chefs cooking! Wow! In such a small bus they squeezed Michelin Star experience! Food is art. All fresh and easily digestible. With fresh kimchi and heavenly methods of cooking their eggs.. Food was digested in my mouth lol Thank you so much!

Who wouldn’t want to eat brunch on a bus with a sea view? We were lucky to get a seat on the top deck just as someone was leaving (booking definitely recommended at weekends!) the weather wasn’t particularly summery but this place had a lovely vibe and great food to match. Definitely high end for a bus!

This charming café, set in a vintage 1980s double-decker bus, offers a delightful blend of nostalgia and culinary excellence. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with the top deck providing stunning views of the Margate seafront. The menu is diverse and caters to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan, and gluten-free options. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest feels welcome. The service is quick, and the food is always served hot and fresh. It’s clear that a lot of love and care goes into every dish. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone in Margate, and I can’t wait to return!

Quirky cafe right on the sea front. Staff are friendly and clearly enjoy working there. You do pay more than a classic greasy spoon, but the quality and presentation of the food is great. Keep up the good work.

So pleased I came here. Our dog was made very welcome and given some lovely biscuits. Staff were excellent, very friendly and informative. We only had a drink and a sandwich but what a sandwich it was! Butternut Squash at its best. I haven't had a sandwich that good in ages. Thank you everyone at the Margate Coffee Shed.

Great place for breakfast. The meaty is delicious and a big portion. Very fresh and so tasty!! The coffee is also great. Friendly and welcoming staff. The perfect place to bring a dog or sit and relax with a book. The downstairs is abit more crowded now that you can’t use upstairs but there is a nice sofa by the window.

Didn’t come to eat - I was slightly taken by surprise to walk into a bustling hipster cafe - but to gorge on the second-hand vinyl. An absolutely fantastic collection of mostly mainstream music on two floors. Blonde on Blonde £20, a rarely seen Nanci Griffith later release £20, another Dylan (Knocked Out Loaded) £9, Sting’s first solo album £5. The vinyl is provided by Ghost Papa, a record shop across the road. Next time I’ll make time for brunch/lunch too. A thrilling discovery.

This place is 10/10. Service = phenomenal. Super affordable and actually quite cheap for what you’re paying for. Atmosphere is homely with a separated area for working so that part of downstairs is more social. Great decor, great playlist. We both ordered the kimchi hash special. The really did the Korean influence justice (saying this as an East Asian person who has eaten too many minimal effort whitewashed token use of Asian ingredients in restaurants). Straight up delicious. They also take payment on order so it’s great if you need to rush off after. Breakfast and drink totalled to around £9 per person including an extra sausage added on for each of us

Me and my partner were staying in area for a few days we found this cafe a short walk away. Had a lovely full English this is a proper old fashioned cafe had one of the best breakfasts I've had in a cafe food was cooked lovely and had a perfect mug of tea. Lady behind counter was friendly and welcoming the cafe seems to run very efficiently. We're coming back to this cafe before we have to drive home today cos we enjoyed it so much. If your looking for a good breakfast come here you want be disappointed.

This is a proper greasy spoon with faded formica tables and vinyl chairs. The food was really good and arrived quickly. I had a big breakfast but want to try their mega breakfast at some point. It's £28 and if you finish it you end up on the wall of fame. If you finish it in under 20 minutes it's free. Staff were friendly and the place was clean. It just had a cool vibe too. Almost like a timewarp to when cafes were actually cafes and not weird hipster places with avocado toast. I'd recommend this place to friends and family.

Quite possibly the greatest veggie burger I've ever had, made and served by the loveliest team who customised and cooked it just how I asked. It honestly made years of disappointing 'spicy bean burger' meals worth it. The place should have a queue at its doors.

Can never fault a trip to Forts. Even when busy you get incredible service - I should know, I used to work in hospitality. There were 2 particularly lovely waitresses and they made our brunch even more enjoyable. Thank you Zara, Tuppy, and Joey for being so amazing

We had the most fabulous brunch in Forts and will definitely visit again next time we visit Margate. We had scrambled eggs with portobello mushrooms with mushroom gravy on sourdough toast, scrambled eggs with sausage and chimichurri plus one sweet tooth diner had the rhubarb cake with custard...and coffees were superb. Absolutely fantastic and we loved the ambience, lovely servers and experience. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you everyone at Forts.

Forts is a super cool casual spot. We came for a brunch and although it was busy, we only waited on list for 10 mins. We had toasties and they were spectacular. Filling yet fresh and tasty. (I had the bacon and my bf had the 3 cheese) And The coffee is the best I had in Margate, proper oat milk latte. Service was wonderful also. We will be back to try the rest of the menu!

I had the Falafel salad with added halloumi and others had hamburger. The combination of the ingredients in the salad was very tasty and the sourdough slices were toasted and buttered. The burger meat is amazin, i had a small bite from the burger after my better half said it is simply one of the best burgers he had! That says something. Thanks for being amazing, we'll be back! And the weather was yood so we sat outside where the atmosphere is quite chilled and warm

Having seen the reviews, we visited on a Saturday lunch time. The upstairs seating area was busy and a little loud but we had plenty of room and could still enjoy a chat. The food was superb. I had the Big Greedy burger (without tortilla chips) and my partner had the house burger. He was a bit worried that there we no chips on the Menu but we didn't miss them. We shared a side of huge hash browns and nachos. The burgers were amazing, and the sides and salads really tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Fab little restaurant for lunch and they had veggie and vegan options too. I'll definitely be back. Thanks guys!

Lovely place with some amazing food. They have quite a few vegan/ vegetarian dishes. Loved their Vegan hotdog. Other half loved his pulled pork bun. Belgium dark hot chocolate was yumm too. The sitting outside was full during the Saturday lunch time rush but had plenty of empty tables upstairs/ indoor seating space.

Lovely cafe with great food. I had the house burger, which comes with pulled pork, sausage & bacon, which was a really good burger and comes with a delicious apple and celery coleslaw. My mum had the falafel and hummus which comes with a variety of other sides and she loved that too. The waitress was great, efficient and not pushy. We would definitely be back.
