Would be useful for the cafe to open later in the summer months other than 5pm, food orders stopsbefore 4.30, but drinks (tea), cakes and ice creams served up to 5pm

Little gem of a cafe, really nice and cosy, ideal for watching the angry sea outside. Staff were really friendly and prices seemed reasonable for some nice hot food. Would happily visit again.

Update - the cafe has had new outdoor furniture - brilliant it's designed for multi generational and ability families see photo so sensible. My favourite place this summer in Folkestone. Fresh food, good for veggies and dietary restrictions. Friendly service and sea views

The location is great. Staff friendly. Good selection of drinks and food. The best advice I can give to make this a 5 star venue would be to improve the efficiency of their order process. It should be split into order taking and order fulfillment. At the moment every window takes the order and fulfills it plus payment which makes it very slow.. almost painfully slow for simple things like 1 ice cream.

This really is the only choice in the area and for a quick snack lunch it was great. The food was simple enough for kids and the fresh thick milkshakes were their favourite. The hot dogs were frankfurters unfortunately, not sausages, but the bacon roll had really thick bacon and was a pleasant surprise. Wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but would happily eat here if in the area.
