The photos dont do it justice! Very friendly service; food is so fresh and tasty (especially the bread). Family owned and run - which you can tell from the service. Our favourite was the banana bread with bacon and banana. Would recommend and hope to visit again soon!

The food was tasty and the staff was friendly. The restaurant is also dog friendly. However, I am not a fan of drinking tea with a plastic cup. The menu is also quite limited.

Absolutely lovely place for breakfast. Were really good with my partner’s allergy and made us feel really confident ordering. Will definitely be returning and working our way through the whole menu. Would recommend booking as it gets very busy … probably because it is just so lovely: food; staff; everything!

Nice busy place, where dogs are allowed. Nice quality breakfast. Salmon breakfast is very generous with the smoked salmon, huge portion.

Food very nice, good range of drinks (which were taken by order at the table and served quickly). Staff are young and kitchen area is small - they have to do a lot with a little to make it work: so ensure you go in with a laid back mindset and don't mind waiting a bit for food (as it joins the queue), it's a popular place for a reason!

What makes the place cosy is atmosphere & happy, welcoming staff. It is a place that can feel like home the first time you visit because the staff here are amazingly friendly. The best cup of coffee I have had ever. The cakes are amazing and very generous portions. Lunch menu had some lovely and some different & healthy choices such as bagel with halloumi. All meal served with salad. Big portions n very reasonable prices which never burden on ur pocket. Very busy at peak times but well worth being patient for table. Must recommend this place.

Proper English fry-up. I had a great breakfast here the other day, full English breakfast with a cuppa tea for £10. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I will certainly be back.

Friendly, delicious, generous portions and a great selection. I admit it, I’m from the States. When we come to visit, we adjust our expectations about breakfast out. We wandered into Whitstable Cafe sort of by accident, and we were hungry. The menu here is extensive, and everyone found something terrific. We had Bubble with Tiger Toast (a stack), bagel sandwiches from around the world, delicious espresso drinks, a gorgeous avocado toast with salmon and chili flake, omelet and more. We stayed in the comfy diner-style restaurant longer than we expected, and came away well-sated for a very reasonable fee. Thanks, Whitstable Cafe, we’ll be back!

Service was quick and easy, the coffee was lovely and the breakfast was great. The bacon, sausages and black pudding were all very good quality. I forgot to take a picture before I ate the breakfast but the image speaks for itself!

This was my first visit to F&G (in a party of four) and it was really very pleasant. The venue has great decor, nice background music and was very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive, and all four of us really enjoyed our food. I would definitely return.

Wonderful place! I enjoyed a delicious omelette with pomme frites. However, the coffee was disappointing. Both my partner and I ordered cappuccinos, and we found the milk either tasted off or the coffee itself was a strange flavour. The drink was more like a milky latte with a little froth rather than a properly made cappuccino. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. I would recommend this spot for breakfast, but next time I will opt for a regular Americano.

Beautiful little spot on a blustery autumn afternoon. Nice and cozy space, but equally enjoyable outside with a fresh scone and tea :) friendly owners too, feels like a home from home

Quirky little place that I never knew existed. Great for watching the sun set and a drink on the beach. Not the greatest amount of choice but very friendly owners and locals without masses of tourists or overcrowded beaches.

Fantastic little beachfront gem 😁 Off the beaten path (hidden away from the DFLs 😉). Friendly, laid back tea rooms with pints on tap - gorgeous pints of Guiness. They are pet friendly and have a beer garden. Also covid safe... and homemade deli bites on weekends.

Always a nice cup of tea and piece of cake here on the walk from Seasalter into Whitstable. A quiet place set back from the beach along from island walk. You can get a beer and light bites music on some evenings, and a big screen for special sports days.

Definately, the best Coffee in Whitstable! Fabulous service . My Cortardo was made to perfection. My partner loved his hot Chocolate and we shared a great cinnamon bun! We were given water without asking and got a seat in the window. Lots of nice things to buy. These lovely people are passionate about their Coffee and it shows. Well done!

A nice place to grab a proper coffee. These guys know their stuff - proper process and knowledge of their beans. Definitely a place to grab and go, however they also have some beautiful design goodies across the shop, so be sure to take a wander around.

Coffee served the proper way, with a small glass of water. This is the quintessential coffee shop in whitstable. Friendly baristas and the best coffee and books! Love this place.

Really great specialty coffee in Whitstable on the main street. The baristas are really knowledgeable and friendly. The pastries are also really good. It's a small space, but really inviting. Great magazines/reading materials in the store as well. Perfect spot to just hang out when in Whitstable.

2021 just got better! Tankerton has needed a proper skilled barista for years and now we have one! I am super fussy about my coffee and the care, time, attention and taste of my coffee here was second to none. Owner and team were super welcoming and friendly. Space has plenty of seating and is bright and stylish. There’s even vegan cake options and even more importantly for me - they use Oatly Barista for their oat milk option. The Union beans were super smooth. Highly recommended! Welcome to Tankerton Kafeine!

We old codgers moved 30 miles away a year ago but still come back to Whitstable and Tankerton for afternoon strolls. Always call here for coffee etc never try elsewhere. It is faultless and extremely attractive in all respects.

“After a friend’s recommendation, we decided to check out this café, and it quickly became a favorite! The cozy, inviting atmosphere paired with an incredibly friendly team made us feel right at home. The coffee was exceptional—rich and flavorful, easily some of the best we’ve had. We ordered the mozzarella panini, sticky toffee cake, matcha, and caramel iced coffee, and every bite and sip was a delight. Being just a short stroll from the beach adds to the charm. I enjoyed it so much that I promised my husband we’ll be making this a regular spot!”

Great little place. Very friendly and great service. I had the American pancakes with streaky bacon and maple syrup. Normally this isn't too special but this was prepared very well. Ordered a cappuccino and it was surprisingly good too. Fair pricing and great food. I recommend for sure!

This place is a must, if your looking for breakfast! Nice staff, dog friendly, good atmosphere, right next to the sea. The food was amazing, the English breakfast comes with tea or coffee included for only 12 Pounds. And you can NOT complain about the portion sizes here, if your hungry this is the place for you. Absolutely recommended.

Land + Sea in Whitstable is a gem in the Kent dining scene, offering a well-crafted blend of British coastal cuisine with a modern twist. Located near the picturesque waterfront, it sets a cozy yet upscale atmosphere that feels both inviting and refined. The décor reflects the coastal charm of Whitstable, with nautical touches and a relaxed, intimate ambiance. The menu at Land + Sea is thoughtfully designed around fresh, local ingredients, especially the seafood, which takes center stage. The tapas-style dishes are a particular highlight, allowing diners to explore a variety of local flavors in shareable portions. The cuttlefish, for example, is tender with a perfect char, often dressed in a light, tangy marinade that brings out the best in its delicate flavor. The cod cheeks, known for their buttery texture, are lightly seasoned and seared to create a crispy exterior with a soft, flaky center. Paired with a lemon or aioli dipping sauce, they capture the essence of Whitstable’s fresh, ocean-sourced cuisine in each bite. If seafood isn’t your preference, there are still plenty of choices, like expertly prepared steaks and seasonal vegetable dishes that showcase the quality of Land + Sea’s ingredients. Drinks-wise, the wine list and cocktail offerings are curated to complement the menu, with options ranging from local vineyards to creative, fresh-ingredient cocktails. The atmosphere at Land + Sea is a charming blend of coastal elegance and warmth. The interiors are tastefully nautical with a modern, relaxed design that’s equally suited for casual meals or special occasions. The staff add to the experience, striking a balance between attentive and approachable. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and provide helpful recommendations, ensuring each guest feels welcome and well-cared for. Overall, Land + Sea in Whitstable beautifully captures the essence of coastal dining, with fresh, flavorful dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s a must-visit for seafood lovers and anyone seeking a memorable meal by the sea.

Food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. We had six small plates and all were layered with flavour and textures. The art work in the restaurant is so eye catching and suits the vib. Chef talked us through a few plates and the whole service was friendly. Definitely coming back!

On a recommendation of a chef friend of ours, we booked lunch on a beautifully sunny Wednesday last week. Lovely reception from the staff. Menu is tapas style but infinity variable. We ordered five dishes to share, and this was plenty for the three of us. the food freshly cooked in an open kitchen and is nicely presented but tastes brilliant! Posh cheesey chips are magnificent. Would happy recommend and come back when we are next in the area. Good wine list, some really interesting alcohol free wines reasonable pricing.

I wouldn’t normally write a Google review but the food was so fantastic that I had to. We ordered multiple tapas style dishes and I liked every one so much I wouldn’t have been able to pick a favourite. They flavours are imaginative and the food is well presented. The staff were also very attentive and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Land and sea!

What a place. We drop in regularly for the amazing Portuguese custard tarts and coffee (my partner is from Lisbon and she says they’re amazing). Just had a Sunday roast (beef and chicken), with a chicken liver pâté starter, bread and butter pudding and the most insane blood orange and vanilla cheescake and WOW WOW WOW. We loved it, the kids loved it - best restaurant food in Whitstable. Easily. Highly recommended. ❤️

HatHats Coffee South Quay Shed (Whitstable Harbour)

South Quay Shed, Harbour, Whitstable CT5 1AB, UK

4.5 (73 reviews)

P: 01227 204025

Lovely coffee and friendly staff in a great location! Also a great idea to have the app that rewards regular customers. My only complaint is the music. It's way too loud early in the morning. It may be ok later in the day when there's lots of people around, and it becomes part of the general hubbub. But first thing in the morning I suspect customers want to just come in and chill (I do anyway) and not have to listen to a selection of 80s/90s bangers. Great that the South Quay Shed is dog friendly, too.

Had a great experience at The Hat Hats Coffee in Whitstable, located inside the food court on the first floor of South Quay. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I was thrilled to find they serve OATLY, which is my go-to oat milk—something you don’t find everywhere. I’m not a fan of other plant milks, so this was a big plus. The coffee itself was excellent—strong, bold, and full of character. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

So I didn’t actually know about HatHats until they started serving coffee onsite at my work in Discovery Park, when I first had one of their coffees I was so impressed, the coffee was SO good & the staff were so friendly, just a pleasant break away from the desk! They’ve now opened up a more permanent coffee shop within Discovery Park, which is brilliant, their sweet treats are always amazing (so good.. I took one home for my partner!) We then stumbled across them at Whitstable today, which was a pleasant surprise. Again, greeted by a lovely young lady and as always the coffee & sweet treats were amazing! HatHats really have got things right - seriously good coffee an extensive premium drinks menu, dairy alternatives (including Oatly oat milk), delicious food, lovely staff & we can’t wait to return next weekend - thank you! I definitely recommend a visit to any of their stores.

Very good coffee - for those with a sweet tooth (like me) there were plenty of flavoured syrups to choose from! Also frozen yoghurt specifically for our dog. Situated on the first floor of the South Quay development, with seats and armchairs giving views over the harbour. A really pleasant spot and highly recommended.
