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

I popped here on my own (without any children!) to take an hour for myself after a very hectic and stressful week. It’s small and cosy but also gives off elegant vibes - it feels like it would be great for all sorts of occasions from parties to date night, to drinks and dinner with friends. I went for a mocha and they were accommodating with my specific order (easy on the coffee and more on the chocolate) which was appreciated, plus I’d heard they do great coffees and they seem to take it seriously which is great. I ordered the sourdough and seaweed butter which was hearty - too much for me to eat on my own! I was worried that I’d still be hungry as I ordered a small plate - the crab tagliatelle - but it was perfect. Crab tagliatelle is one to order for sure. Buttery, generous amounts of crab, enough chilli to balance it out and the pasta was excellent. It’s Saturday early afternoon and the weather is terrible. It’s not busy at all, which I just don’t understand as this is the first place I’d run to for lunch on a day like today!

Great cocktails, lovley surroundings, highly recommend a visit.

We stopped by here today after the last day of school. My glass of wine was exactly what I wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful; they happily made my kids a "cocktail" which they were delighted at. The truffle humous was delicious. We also utilised the Star Wars cards and other board games. Love Seabird, we will be back 😁👍🏻

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.

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

Highly recommended. Lovely menu with good quality fresh produce. We had breakfast freshly cooked and well presented. The venue is airy and spacious with a garden area also. Thank you

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.

Wonderful food and the staff are even better. Always a great pleasure to go to

Great food, good value and friendly staff! Overall lovely place to eat, drink and meet friends!

Lovely welcoming little place, the staff are very friendly and helpful, It's always a pleasure to go there which I do on a fairly regular basis, it's comfortable, with a nice atmosphere and best of all they do a banging sausage sandwich and hot chocolate 🌟 🌟

The couple that run it are really lovely people, the customer service is top notch and the food is even better once you try their sausage and egg muffin breakfast you'll never want to go anywhere else! You can get breakfast deals up to 11am try it

Absolutely lovely cafe, spent about 2hrs here today with 2 friends. Had a wonderful time with great atmosphere and delicious food. Both boys serving us were polite and very nice. All members of my party agreed this is a brilliant little gem.

This is a lovely cafe, the staff are very friendly and the range of food and drinks is extensive. There is some beautiful artwork on display and dogs are welcome!!!

Well, what an excellent find in Ramsgate. Great coffee. No parking, yet that’s not the fault of ‘The Wooden Box’. Atmosphere relaxing for food or drink. Well worth a visit if on the go.

Found this cafe on the way to the Micro museum. When we went in we were made to feel really welcome and was happy to rearrange the furniture etc. Lovely choice of food and it was delicious. Noticed they are dog friendly and it was lovely to see the artwork too. I highly recommend this cafe, and when I come back to Ramsgate I will be returning. Great hospitality, clean and tidy and lovely food. 😀

Stumbled, literally, across this charming Bistro. Van Morrison hit us on the playlist which carried on with Steely Dan, James Taylor, Joni Mitchel, CSN&Young amongst others. The soundtrack of my youth. Excellent brunch of full English. Veggie options were available. The Observer was on the table to browse. Service polite and engaging without being intrusive. Lovely way while away a morning/early afternoon.

I normally don’t write reviews unless they impress me a lot. Like this place: cozy ,neat and accommodating. Love it. One of my best places in Ramsgate

Lovely place for a brunch on a sunny Sunday: really relaxed atmosphere and super friendly staff

Fantastic venue. A lovely welcome and friendly staff. Delicious drinks (they make a fab Margarita!) and excellent service. Was lucky enough to see Josh Savage play on his tour. The intimacy and acoustics watching a live performance like this is pretty magical here. Highly recommended!

Brilliant place for breakfast

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

The breakfast selection is extensive, and on average, it costs around 6 pounds for a full breakfast (including a cup of coffee). The taste is quite good, with the bacon being lean. The owner provides friendly service, the food is served quickly, and the coffee tastes good too. Many locals come here for breakfast.

Brilliant service and amazing food. Not many places, if it all, you can get a Roast Lamb dinner that good. Thanks so much!

My wife and I are so glad we finally tried this absolute gem today for Sunday roast. The staff were friendly, the food was incredible - the portions extremely generous. We both chose the Lamb. Incredible value for the price. We will be back! Best roast in Ramsgate by far. Highest recommend.

One of the best breakfast I have ever had! Amazing choice (vegans there are options for you!), excellent value. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Unexpectedly, I came across a charming tiny local cafe just in front of the bay. I gave it a try, and I couldn't believe that an English breakfast could taste so well here. The price was affordable, though.

Fabulous cooked breakfast. Lovely people, nice atmosphere.

Ideal greasy spoon all day breakfast place with a cracking location. Cheap n cheerful but not lacking in quality. Icon of Ramsgate imo, no place better to get over a hangover with the fresh(ish) sea air

Stopped for a drink at this lovely place. Lovely friendly staff and amazing view of the marina.

A wonderful place, with accents, design and music Latino & Retro 80', 90'. Friendly and qualified staff. Extremely affordable prices. Also here you can find unique pralines handmade by the owner.I recommend this place with a great view of Ramsgate marina. Pets are welcome. Large terrace full of flowers.

I had a Belgian Hot choc here and it was absolutely beautiful and the nicest I have ever tasted!! We had a toasted sandwich which was delicious and served with salad, balsamic and tortilla crisps. The service was excellent and very friendly and the atmosphere was great. I cannot wait to go back. Beautiful views of the harbour.

Lovely place, obviously set up by someone who really cares, wonderful customer service, great experience, fantastic decor. We had coffee, scones and a sandwich. All tasted great. Clearly lots of care was put in every single detail. Thoroughly recommended if you find yourself in Ramsgate to have a quintessentially traditional British experience!

Beautiful, quirky tea room. The scones and proper loose leaf pot of tea were exceptional. Fun 1940s atmosphere.

Beautiful cafe with vintage British theme. Lovely staff, very good tea and reasonable prices. A must visit for Ramsgate. Classic bread pudding better than my Mum's😂

Staff are friendly and make you feel right at home. The decor too is one of a kind and I personally adored the little jumper my tea pot was wearing. However, both the tea itself and the scone were quite mediocre and the clotted cream far too hard so this place gets 4 stars from me.
