Decent Coffee here and nice inside but unfortunately Not Dog Friendly so you have to sit on the street.....real shame

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Always welcoming. The best food at a great price. Best milkshakes and in town! As trying to eat healthier, they were more than happy to change a meal up for me, replacing chips with salad. Very tasty. Their jacket potatoes are great too. Happy to do food to takeaway as well.

Our favourite neighbourhood cafe serving traditional English breakfast and brunch menus. Nothing fancy, but I can say their burgers, chips and spaghetti are unbeatable. Weekly visit is a must! Staff is extremely attentive and cheerful. A great pleasure to recommend.

Lovely place with very friendly service! Exactly what you’d expect from a traditional English cafe and very good menu choice (including build your own breakfast). Food was hot and delicious! And the best part is they have a mr whippy machine so you can have an ice cream for dessert! Prices were on the higher side but still reasonable.

Lovely coffee, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. However, the furnishings are looking a little "tired". I sat in the corner on the long couch, and the "plastic" (?) covering is peeling off in many places, giving a rather shabby look overall. Like the fact that I can have a Loyalty, and I will be back whenever I return to Tonbridge.

It's well past time for senior managent to support the team here and refurbish the place. I've been twice in the last couple of days arriving to a cosy space only for the ancient AC to start blowing cold after 45 minutes. I really don't want to cross the road to somewhere else -the coffee's not as good- but I might enjoy the environment a bit better!

Nice food and drinks. Very expensive though, especially when a perfectly nice pastry from LIDL next door is only 69 pence rather than between £3 and £4+ each!

Extremely lovely staff who always perk up when spoken to and always make time to have a chat if it’s not too busy. The coffee is very pleasant and fresh, and I the croissants are heavenly.

Patient staff and very friendly. Quick service aswell. It’s a little bit pricey but you pay for convenience, perfect for an early Sunday morning when nothing else is open. Good quality food.

Popped in on my way to work as it was a cold foggy morning and needed an early morning pick me up. Ordered a small hot chocolate which was made and served in about 30 seconds flat so very good service. Turned my gloomy start to the day into a good start. The hot chocolate wasn't exactly cheap at £3.10, but that's just the cost of things now days. Incredible flavour and will definitely be back on dark and dingy mornings throughout the coming winter.

A must if visiting Tonbridge, Jimmy's cafe is just the best, tasty food, great service and a welcoming atmosphere. I've become a regular on a Sunday morning for my cooked breakfast.

This wonderful cafe has to be of the most child friendliest places in the UK. Tucked up on a side street in Tonbridge I only found it because I googled cheap places to eat while on a day trip to the town. The children's meals were wholesome and delicious and altogether perfect. I had a fluffy baked potato and prawns in a delicious mayonnaise with a beautiful side salad. It was all a great eating experience for a family of noisy hungry children! And the staff are very friendly and obviously love having children in to eat. They also make a proper mug of tea. I can strongly recommend Jimmy's Cafe. The photo doesn't do the potato justice. I was so hungry and the freshly cooked smell enticed me to dig in before I had taken the picture. It really was top notch yummy!

I don’t know why I had missed this nice place as a local. The menu is nothing fancy, but food is hot and freshly made to order. Price is incredibly cheap. I bet it’s one of the cheapest places to eat in Tonbridge.

Lovely staff, tasty food and coffee, great decor and excellent atmosphere. We had the pancakes with bacon and streaky bacon, and the bacon special bap. Really good quality bread and lovely fluffy pancakes, with a latte and a mocha, which came to about £25 total. Very much recommend 😊

At 1PM on Sunday the place was packed, but we were lucky someone was just leaving, so we did get a table. Looks like it's very popular with locals: everyone was chatting with everyone else, except us, of course. The cafe is nice and clean. Pancakes with compote were really nice.

This is my favourite local branch of Costa. The staff are all so friendly, They go above and beyond to deliver great service. I’m always impressed by the energy and enthusiasm the team have here.They have nailed the successful running of the shop, fast paced, always on top of cleaning and the atmosphere is always warm cosy. Highly recommended a visit.

To be honest, I had a salted caramel frappe but my mum had a flat white but firstly it was to milky but second of all the size was as big as a normal coffee so it was way to big for a flat white!!! Service was great, lovely ladies and good seating.

Another coffee shop wasn't really a suprise in Tonbridge, thankfully Costa is my favourite of the three big chains (no names mentioned). Popped in today for a bit of lunch and a drink. Service was really quick despite a queue. Got the pigs in blankets panini/roll, and my favourite, the black forest hot chocolate. Probably the nicest present one I have had and I've been having these hot chocolates since they fist came out.
