Had a cooling iced latte followed by a tasty breakfast. The latter was freshly cooked and just the right size. Service was "with a smile" and prompt. Quiet music in the background. Highly recommend Puddings. They make delicious cakes as well.

Set 3 for £12.50, came with toast. Added black pudding for £1 extra ( two very generous slices I may add). Filter coffee was good. Hash browns could do with being alot crispier as were bit soggy. Bacon was very nice thick cut. All in all very good food. Told the breakfast wrap was very nice. No price on the board. Clean premises with friendly staff. Keep up the good work ✌️❤️

Great cafe with very friendly and helpful staff. Came here for a coffee on a Saturday morning and because it was so cosy and staff were lovely we decided to stay for lunch. Coffees and teas are good and the lunchtime sandwiches are good. Would have preferred a bit more salad in my sandwich and crisps rather than tortillas with sandwiches would be better but bread was fresh and fillings plentiful. I had Brie and cranberry. We shared a brownie and this was fresh and tasty too (although didn’t realise they came warmed up so would have been better if staff had checked we wanted it warmed up). Despite a few criticisms on the food I’ve still given it 5 stars as the (female) staff were so friendly and helpful and happily working - a joy to see. Lovely seating upstairs as well as the tables downstairs.

Lovely place good for a meal with the fellas, lovely atmosphere, only have two issues. 1. Chips are slightly overcooked but still are delicious. 2. The playlist needs a little more reggae

Nice breakfast, I opted for a set breakfast of sausage, two rashers of bacon, chips, beans, toast and a fried egg along with a can of drink for £9.00. Some of the chips were a little overcooked/crunchy but the rest of the breakfast was nice. They operate a loyalty scheme of a free meal once you have collected 8 stamps from paid meals, they have the same offer regarding drinks too. They have customer toilets which were clean and in decent condition. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.

What can I say…. This cafe is amazing . Popped in while walking past and ordered 2 set breakfasts and two cans of cherry coke. Our order was taken by a attentive waitress and when the food turned up it was just what we needed , not greasy and cooked to perfection. Keep up the good work cafe Riviera . Five ⭐️

The food in here was amazing, it’s a small family-run restaurant but they clearly take great pride in their food. We went for a good supply of all the starters, and they were all super-tasty. Our waitress went through and explained each dish for us, was lovely and attentive. Will most DEFINITELY be coming again!

Super friendly and helpful staff. A tasty selection of food. I would particularly recommend the fried chicken in sweet chilli sauce; it was delicious and crunchy!

This restaurant is such a little hidden gem! Tucked away at the bottom of Maidstone high street you can find this small Korean BBQ. The tables have their own grill built in so you can cook your own food. The menu is extensive and the prices are reasonable. There are also Korean drinks and bubble tea available too. As a group of 4 we shared the set menu plus a couple of extra dishes. I can highly recommend the rice rolls and the dumplings as they were delicious and the first to go from the table! The lady who served us was lovely and we didn't want for anything. She was attentive at the right times and our food was served very promptly. I will definitely be back!

We came on a Friday night expecting it to be very busy, but was not busy at all. We ordered the BBQ set B plus the seafood pancake. Food was amazing and service was great 😁 I'm so glad there's Korean food available in Maidstone. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area again.

Took my girlfriend here on an early date (we showed up just as they opened), we were welcomed straight away by our lovely server! We were sat down quickly and made our order. The food was absolutely perfect and the service was amazing too, our server constantly checked on us and gave us little tips on how long our food would take to be perfect which we both appreciated! The sweet chili chicken is to die for and we even had to order more! Can’t recommend this place enough and we will be going back as much as we possibly can!

We really enjoyed our experience today at Leah’s bistro. There’s a lot of choice on the menu, something for everyone, and everything is freshly made and cooked. We really enjoyed the food, it was delicious! Prices are really reasonable too - 2 adults, 2 kids - lunch (sandwich and panini, 2 x kids meals), drink and cake each, worked out at about £40. Definitely will come back. Staff are lovely as well, really friendly.

We have become regulars here over the past few weeks - the staff are friendly, kind and helpful, there is always a positive buzz whatever time of day you're here and the food is delicious. For fellow vegans and people who are gluten free, there are gf and vegan options available. Leah's has become our favourite place to visit at the weekend - If you haven't been to Leah's before, treat yourself!

Had a fantastic experience here. The food was great and of good quality. Portions were more than generous and especially for a kids roast. The atmosphere was very unexpected with someone playing the piano by the entrance. People working there were all very fun and bubbly to be around and engaged with the kids too.

A few years ago (different owners I believe), this place was not much to shout about. But now it's a regular breakfast venue for me and business colleagues. The service is always excellent, swift and welcoming. The coffee is very good and the food... well, we wouldn't go back if it wasn't great every time! Pictured is my beans on toast, which isn't actually on the menu but is never any trouble. My friend has the vege breakfast which he assures my is top notch.

Update 2024 December Had a roast lunch which was promptly ordered and served by polite very hard working staff. It was plentiful in size but could have been heated a little more evenly, this was £12 there was an OAP option for £10 which was smaller apparently. I though the cheese cake a bit expensive for its size £3.95. Update 2023 Staff were friendly and patient. We had a roast lunch each which was served very hot, portion size were just adequate. They were amazingly quick at delivering our meal after order.

Had a good meal here. Restaurant is nicely decorated. Slight confusion over the order. The owner is a bit too bombastic if you are looking to be left alone. Great they have Bombay Bicycle Club beer. Food was fresh and tasty but portion sizes are a little small.

Great place to visit for a snack and a hot drink whilst on a ride or walk. Recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A lot of building works have been completed recently so the area is looking fresh and welcoming with a new outside seating and canopy incase it’s raining. Thanks again for the great hospitality

Fantastic place to stop for coffee and a snack if out walking or mountain bike riding like I was today. Had a flat white - was excellent as was the sausage roll. This will now be my preferred mid ride stop for this route. Blankets available with outside seating so you can enjoy a coffee even on those chillier days. Stopped by again a few days after this review mid ride. Coffee and steak pasty excellent. Really pleasant place to rest for a while by the river. PS be sure to look out for the bold as brass Robin who likes to snack on cake crumbs etc! June 2022 update - seats and chairs upgraded - this place continues to impress!

A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!

Great place for a coffee stop especially compared to other local places; lovely staff that make such an effort to accommodate and the cake choices are good - i can highly recommend the ginger loaf, a big piece that’s surprisingly light and non sickly . We’ve also had the toasted sarnies and the only slight negative is I wish they also did sourdough toasties here then it’d be perfect! But at least there’s always a heated sausage roll or toasted cheese scone & marmite until then 😊. Had the best iced cappuccino on warmer days, very well made here, as they’re never quite right anywhere else.

This is a busy little cafe, staff were incredibly helpful, nothing too much 😁 (There is another cafe in Notcutts next door, staff in there were rude and surly, we had only just ordered our drinks and sat down and a member of their staff told us we had to drink up as it was 4:30 and the cafe closed at 5 and she wanted to clear our table.) Go to Bricks, have a lovely coffee with pleasant staff who are pleased you see you 👍👍😁

Was heading to Nottcuts Garden Centre and had seen good reviews about this place so decided to drop in. Happy to say the reviews were right for once, lol. Lovely staff, very friendly, and although they were closing early when we went in they didn't rush us at all. The cake I had, the ginger cake, was delicious. Moist and very tasty. The hot chocolate was even better. Can't recommend this place enough!!

Had the 3 course Christmas dinner today with my wife and some friends. We’ve been before and had the pies but today had the Christmas menu. Food on both occasions was amazing and great value. Generous portions ( the Christmas main meal was a self serve carvery) great atmosphere and attentive staff.

Stopped by for a Sunday lunch on my way home. The only space available was in the garden so worth booking ahead! Turns out Sundays are carvery days... not normally my thing but I really enjoyed mine. Tried two meats and both were excellent. The trimmings etc were all very good with special mention for the cauliflower cheese! A very good lunch!

We visited here on Saturday for lunch, we have a nut allergy and what struck us first was how we was greeted and asked if we have any allergies or dietary requirements which was very reassuring. The whole team went above and beyond to cater for us and the food was all made from scratch and was phenomenal. We decided to return for the Sunday roast the following day and once again we had a matched experience. This is the best pub we have been to and won’t be going anywhere else in a rush!

Super happy with with the cctv and burglar alarm systems Kent Fused Electrical installed in house. I can check the house and who’s at the door from my phone as well. Tom gave me a great price with the quote and really went out of his way to make sure the systems he installed were what I needed for my situation.

La Villetta is such a lovely part of the food scene in Maidstone. It’s a cosy, independent restaurant with really flavoursome and seasonal menus. Our starters were amazing, we shared a selection of olives, burrata and polpettine and they were delicious both separately and together! It was a little slow to get our mains but my chicken was beyond flavoursome, I would even say not for the faint hearted. It was so buttery and creamy, i loved it. My husband had the mushroom gnocchi which was not as deep in flavour but still quite good. The gnocchi looked as though it came from a packet but honestly compared to the chains that are available in our area, the food here was much more homemade. We also tried one of the italian beers, Birra flea (margherita), it was so nice I’ve had a google to buy some. Its malty and savoury in flavour so goes so well with all of the food. We didn’t go for dessert but they do an afogato with baileys in it which went down a treat! The waitress was really lovely and helpful with the menu. The only odd thing is that the floor feels a bit wonky under foot! This is a really charming place to eat and the food is much fresher than anything else you’ll find in Maidstone. We will definitely return.

Really delicious authentic food, long wait times. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime when we were one of three tables. We shared the arancini and bredaola to start, and then had the ravioli and risotto for mains. Everything was super delish and good portions, shame we didn't have enough room for dessert.
