This is my favorite cafe by a mile. The lemon drizzle cake is to die for - and I do not even like lemon drizzle cake. The Victoria Sponge cake is the best I have ever had. I love the wall to wall books too.
Lovely to see life back down The Old High Street. Such a treat to be able to join the coffee lovers with a sweet protein treat. This is a lovely little coffee shop with staff who take time to listen. Really enjoyed my morning treat it's a great place will be visiting again soon!!😊❤️
What a beautiful little place this is me and my daughter visited today and I found a book I've been searching for for years had lovely cake nice glass of chardonnay and sat reading for an hour in this lovely place staff we lovely and friendly such a warm feeling fab
When we left we said to the staff : "If we lived here we would come in every day!". Great coffee & tea leaf tea, cheery efficient staff, smart intelligent design interior ( with loads of Books ) . . . perfect wifi and we went TWICE during our one day visit to Folkestone for the Triennial. A coffee shop jewel.
One of my favourite places in Folky now. The staff are all so nice and the service is excellent! The coffee is great 👍. Food is good too and its has a really great vibe with a mixture of locals and visitors. A absolute must go if your passing through Folkestone. Thank you.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the gingerbread powerball was delicious. Like the peppermint tea in a pot too. I will be back.
Enjoyed a lovely lunch here today. Loved the tables - couldn't resist leaving a chalk drawing. My idea of bliss - food and books. Staff were friendly. Great place in Folkestone xx
Lovely place for a light snack, every dietary kwirk catered for. Cakes scrumptious and fantastic selection of hot and cold drinks. Super wi-fi connection and very friendly staff. Toilets immaculate. Wish I lived closer.
We visit Kent every August but hadn't been to Folkestone before. Had a pot of tea and a cheese and ham croissant, both of which hit the mark. The staff were pleasant and the piped music from the late 70s was very up my street. Have said we'll return to Folkestone next August; a visit to the café will be a certainty.
The best cake in Folkestone without doubt - coffee cake, carrot cake and blueberry and vanilla are all amazing so please don't stop baking. Love coming here for cake and coffee 😍

Beautiful coffee shop with lovely, attentive staff and gorgeous cakes. Walls are lined with shelves of old books
I LOVE this cafe! It's a great addition to Folkestone. The staff are excellent - they are friendly, warm, helpful. The coffee and food is delicious. A great atmosphere whether you are lunching alone or meeting up with friends. The added bonus is its dog friendly! If you're in the area it's well worth a visit
Our go to coffee stop � always had amazing service and by far the best coffee/cakes in town!
One of my favourite coffee shops. Love it. Best cakes ever and large portions. This place is my guilty pleasure. Well done every one there. The staff are brilliant.
We had a quiche which was to die for, the best we had out in a long time. Nice people.
Love coffee shop, fair prices, very generous portions, I had slice of banana bread and shrugged to finish it, lovely coffee. We had to wait a little bit for our order, which completely understandable, given his busy the place was. We will definitely visit again soon ☕🍰
This is probably my favourite coffee shop I've ever been to and I never seem to visit often enough!
The cakes are amazing, literally like a doorstop and hard to finish by yourself, I like the fact that half of them are vegan and you wouldn't have a clue because the taste is just as good 😁
The sausage roll has to be the nicest sausage roll I've ever had, but I have a massive soft spot for a bit of caramelised onion 😍🤤 it is a posh sausage roll though, not your typical one but worth every penny!
Coffee wise it's great, I'm no coffee expert but for me it's nice enough. I've also tried the chai which isn't particularly traditional chai but a very western chai recipe, sweet and lots of cinnamon- It's fine but could be more authentic.
As for the decor and atmosphere, as everyone says it's so cute and cosy.. definitely love this place and the staff are always so lovely and amazing, really friendly and make it a joy to come in 💛
Upon entering, one is immediately enveloped by a warm and inviting ambiance, emphasized by towering bookshelves laden with an impressive collection of books that reach up to the ceiling. The staff exudes genuine friendliness, ensuring a delightful experience. And to top it all, their coffee is exceptionally well-brewed, boasting a rich aromatic scent that tantalizes the senses. Highly recommended for both book and coffee enthusiasts.
What a darling coffee shop! I have a thing for cafes that have books as part of their decor. It gives a place a really homely feel.
Great coffee, cake, and food selections. The staff are super friendly, and doge are welcome too. Can highly recommend the Victoria sponge cake if your a fan. The sponge, cream, jam ratio is on point!
Loved this place, service was friendly, and they even got brownies out ready for us. The whole place has a great vibe, and I'll definitely be visiting again! The chalk tables were cool to draw on too which made the short wait for our drinks almost non-existent
Hands down the best coffee shop in the universe. No joke. I used to live in folkestone now live abroad and a visit to Steep makes me want to return. Amazing staff super friendly, hard working, great music, GREAT BEETROOT COFFEE and vegan cakes to die for. If you don’t go here you are missing out in life. GO TEAM STEEP STREET!
Probably the most delicious tarts we had on our south east England tour!
The service was super friendly and loved the library atmosphere.
Prices are fair and all topped by delicious coffee! Would recommend!
Amazing cafe. Large choice of cakes, pastries, savoury snacks.
The hot beverage are also very tasty.
We loved the atmosphere and how the staff welcomed us.
The decoration is also very nice.
Lovely Coffee and tea shop with delicious cakes and huge portions. It’s our first holiday in Folkestone and we are going every day to Steep St, to read and write. The atmosphere, the food and the drinks are all equally good. Waiters are friendly too. Sometimes, you have to wait a bit to get a table but it’s worth it.
Such a lovely place. Love the window decorations~coffee is good and so is croissant. There seem to be loads of books 📚 in there. Maybe I will come back one day just to read ;)
