“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.”

“It was the best tomato soup which I tried. Smooth, rich and buttery. While eating it could not remember what it reminds me, and then realized that it tastes like the very-very good Ukrainian borsh, only missing beetroot, cabbage and meat”

“Hands down the best cafe in Rochester! The coffee is consistently delicious, the sandwiches are amazing and the cakes are to die for! L.A. who served me was so warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, and she was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all the amazing food she creates. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming with thoughtful little touches such as a “help yourself” water station. If you are looking for a consistently excellent cafe with reasonable prices and lovely staff, I can’t recommend Third Wave enough!”

“Right next to the castle in a 16th century building, I couldn't fault the food at a very reasonable price. There inside and outside seating and booking inside is recommended. I had a sour bread toasty and shared some triple cooked chips. Both food and setting are first rate.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Fleur de Thé - we coincidentally came on the first day of their Christmas menu, so we blindly had the Christmas Croque Monsieur and the Turkey sage and onion stuffing sourdough sandwich. The Christmas Croque Monsieur was gorgeously decadent - a cheese lovers dream! You absolutely will not need to eat any more, it is so filling in the best way possible. My mother enjoyed the turkey sandwich. Lovely atmosphere, service was prompt, only downside was they ran out of the gluten free cake because it was so popular. Highly recommend this place, lovely to have it in Medway, and will return. It initially seems expensive for Medway but the quality is excellent and so worth it.”
