Visited on a quiet, slightly cool and windy Wednesday morning so had the place to myself. Lovely cappuccino and a sublime bacon breakfast sub, very welcome after a breezy walk along the beach and harbour! Very friendly staff, a real hidden gem nestled in by the Leas Cliff and behind the Shoreline development. Well worth a visit.

Me and my Family love this place it's lovely for all types of food my son is anaphylactic to cows milk and they couldn't have catered to his needs more and the food is delicious 😋 we always go here before we go to the adventure playground. Picture is so you can see prices.

Been to this fantastic café twice now and both times were great service, incredible food and drinks in cosy surroundings. Proper excellent coffee - very good dirty chai (chai latte with shot of coffee). The cheese toasties are absolutely amazing, all of them are delicious and come with sweet pickled pears. The cafe is an old funicular station with comfy seating and you can also sit in the old carriages. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended, a real gem if you're in Folkstone.

Lovely little cafe by the seaside! The building is from late 1800s and still preserved intact. Service is super friendly and the food was delicious! We had the Vietnamese breakfast bapz and they were sooo good!! 100% recommended!! - beautiful place to sit outside in good weather

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Came along with a friend who is now a regular and I cannot wait to go back. Cake is delicious - especially the vegan pumpkin spiced slice made by Michelle who works there. Highly recommended 🙂

As a vegan in folkestone now you're totally spoilt for choice but this is our absolute fave for brekkie. The sausage bap with onion chutney and the sausage roll were both 10/10, so good we went back 3 days in a row. Coffee is excellent, really well made by someone who knows what they're doing. Can't stop thinking about it & looking forward to going back already!

Folkestone is a lovely town, I used to live here and I often visit. I’m always looking for new places to eat and drink.
This cafe is cool!
I had a delicious bacon brioche bap, but they forgot to bring our tea!
No problem. After a gentle reminder, the tea came, AND a refund!
Superb customer service
Well done!
There’s even cool background music!
