We visited The Pup Cup dog cafe in Tonbridge yesterday lunchtime with our black lab, Bo, and had the most wonderful experience! We enjoyed an iced coffee, cappuccino, and a delicious blueberry, banana, and strawberry smoothie, along with three tasty paninis. Bo was thrilled with his puppy-chino too! The staff were incredibly friendly and clearly have a genuine love for dogs, which made the visit even more special. The cafe itself is fantastic, with many differently decorated rooms that add a unique and charming touch. We were so impressed that we’ll definitely be back! On top of all this, I accidentally left my keys at the cafe, and I was so grateful that they had found them and kept them safe for me to collect the next day. I can't thank The Pup Cup enough for their honesty and kindness—you are truly a credit to Tonbridge!

This was a lovely first experience. Welcoming friendly atmosphere, super food and great coffee. Prices are comparable to other well known coffee shops. The ambience is wonderful, dogs are well catered for, actually having own blankets, treats and water. The building is grade 2 listed, with loads of atmosphere but very small. However, well worth the visit. Thank you Pup Cup for a great experience.

Super impressed! We visited the pup cup cafe today with a family members dog we were looking after (although, I wouldn't wait till you have a dog with you, because anyone can go in for food or a coffee!). The owner was really lovely and inviting, and explained that we could sit in any of the 3 beautifully decorated dog themed rooms that were spread across 3 floors. We chose the top floor, and was treated to comfy seating, and everything we needed for our meal. Even better (so the dog would say!) was a box full of dog toys, fresh water, treats and a secure place to tether your pooch, should you want to keep them close while you're eating. For lunch, we had the best paninis we've ever eaten and the most delicious fresh fruit smoothies (ask for the Pina colada!) and not forgetting the pooch, who had a fresh cream treat, especially for dogs. Would I recommend this cafe? Absolutely. And we will be going back soon, minus the dog 😊

We have visited The Pup Cup today for the first time to celebrate the birthday of our tiny dog Nala. It was an amazing experience! There are lovely cakes (also some gluten free) and coffees available for humans. We also bought 'pup cup' (sort of a whipped cream suitable for dogs) for Nala. She loved it! There is also a shop in the building to buy accessories for your loved one(s).

We had a lovely and very tasty breakfast at Jels Cafe. The milkshake was amazing. The staff are all nice and friendly and happily provided a bowl of water for our puppy. We sat outside under the awning and enjoyed our food. Would recommend.

Such a lovely homely cafe. The breakfast was just what we wanted. A classic greasy spoon, with speedy service and a smile. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, great spot for a quick bite with family/friends/children etc.

I came in for lunch with family I hadn't seen in a while as we'd heard good things about Jel's Cafe. A good number of options to choose from, I had a large English breakfast and a sanpellegrino lemon, whereas everyone else had jacket potatoes. I got hash browns and black pudding as extra as it didn't come as standard, but the meal still was reasonably priced. My aunt commented saying the jacket potato was the best one she's ever had outside of home cooking, so will be back to try that myself!

I love this cafe! Perfect place to go if you have little ones with a toy corner packed full of books games, puzzles and drawing. Every cake I have ever purchased here has been absolutely delicious. Coffee is great. And today took my little one for lunch, lovely little jacket potato with cheese and beans. And all very reasonably priced. Not to forget the very friendly staff.

A lovely, friendly and relaxed place to get a hot drink, snack or delicious cake when you visit Longmead. Plenty of space and some seats have a lovely view of the park. Everyone made welcome, including small children and dogs. A bonus are the lovely hand-crafted items for sale, including hand painted pottery and woodwork. Great place to pick up a little gift.

Love this place! It's somewhere I'm happy to go into on my own. Tasty bacon rolls, toasted sandwiches, cakes (the best brownies) Lovely hot chocolate on a chilly day. It's welcoming. They also cater for functions. We had my daughters 50th birthday party here, we all had a good time, including the owners/staff. Thoroughly recommend!

We visited The Old Fire Station Café in Tonbridge on a Saturday morning and had a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and our dog was made to feel just as at home as we were, with free dog treats on offer! The coffee was excellent, and the breakfast was equally impressive – fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly spot with great food and coffee, this café is a gem. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to others!

A nice chill place for meet-ups and coffee. Unfortunately, there were no vegan or dairy-free options for savoury dishes (and for sweet-only a slice of fruit loaf which they said was milk-free), so I had a bag of crisps with my friends while they had nice toasties and cake for lunch. Would go again for coffee though.

What a lovely little cafe. Owner and staff are all very welcoming. The food i ordered was spot on, full english breakfast, bit pricey and a tea or coffee would be nice in the price but if you want a treat it's lovely. They use sausages made at the local butchers on the same parade, which were good. The service is quick and polite. It's all very, very clean still, and the toilet is immaculate. All in all, it's a very lovely little cafe and I would highly recommend 😊

I had an absolutely delicious toasted bacon and cheese sandwich which was full as opposed to the usual 'lick and promise' one gets in many places. The strawberry milkshake was the best I've had in years. The prices were right on too. They also had lovely looking cakes on display but I was too full for that. I'm going to invite friends to meet me there for coffee and cake - it's a lovely spot, with dedicated owners and friendly staff. It was yummy that I forgot to take photos - I will next time!

Been here twice now! Food is always top notch and fresh. Meat is straight out of the butchers next door and everything is cook to order. I had Mary's Almighty breakfast on my first visit and struggled to finish it (so big) and on my second visit I had Eggs Royale. The hollandaise sauce was made from scratch in house. Delicious!

This is probably the best place to go for coffee in Tonbridge, I'm not been anywhere else in Tonbridge so I can't say anyone is better. What I would say is that this place is hard to beat in Tonbridge for speciality coffee. It serves I believe it's own bespoke blend by cast iron coffee, based in Sussex. The view out the front window of the castle is pretty good too. I have also been to its previous premises in Tonbridge which was the old fire station, both places serve excellent coffee. 'nuff said!

Amazing coffee next to the river offers a picturesque setting to enjoy your morning cup of joe. The coffee is rich and flavorful, with just the perfect balance & super smooth. The ambiance of the river adds to the relaxing experience of sipping on a delicious cup of coffee.

A great spot to enjoy the atmosphere in Tonbridge with a view of the castle and river just off the high street. I brought my family from Germany who had reservations about British food and the food they had changed their opinion completely. The service was wonderful and we felt very welcome. The coffee was great and the staff knowledgeable and helpful, so we all got exactly the drink we needed.

Authentic and cosy, The Bakehouse is a lovely place to have a croissant with coffee or a tasty sourdough bread with poached eggs. Probably the most delicious sourdough I have ever had. Their espresso is impressively good. A few charging points for the laptop professionals are available on the 1st floor. If you visit Tonbridge, I would definitely recommend breakfast at The Bakehouse at 124.

I have to give the Bakehouse 5 stars for their bread alone: their wholemeal and their light rye are (very consistently) the best sourdough I've had: excellent flavour, fluffy texture and a crispy, chewy crust. What is disappointing is that I can't eat more of their bread: they're only open until 2:30pm, 4 days a week (and not on Sunday) and they sell out of bread most days.

Great venue for a party! Really love the way this place has been done up - congrats to the team behind it. The space is perfect with an area for a DJ and dance floor, space enough for people who want to chat to do so away from the music, drinks were well priced and the staff were great and so convenient being in the middle of town. I would recommend to anyone looking for a venue to host a party. Should also say I had popped in for a coffee the week before the party and their cakes are delicious as well :-)

A fantastic edition to the high street. A few little teething problems when it opened but it’s found its feet and I love going there. Perfect place for cocktails at night and taking your kids for a hot chocolate in the day. The little children’s play area is a thoughtful and very welcome detail.
