After a 20 mile cycle ride it was a welcomed site.
A well earned latte and a bacon roll.
The food is good and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
I will be going there again and recommend for a break while out and about on the River Medway.

Was so nice to sit along the river and just watch the world go by. The pancakes was so nice. Coffee was good.
For my first time was a bit unsure where ans how to order as there was no signs. Service was not all that gr8. But loads of smiling faces. Was a bit of a hurry but go there and just take it as it comes.

They have a few tasty vegan options. The coffee and hot chocolate are tasty. It was nice that they had vegan hot chocolate, it was nice to enjoy and it tastes really good. It's a sweet little place to go to eat in the sun, feed the birds and enjoy a meal by the water.
They also do boat trips wher you can eat and drink during the trip (have to pre-book and preorder food before trip).

Lovely stop on our bike ride with delicious cake and coffee, plus friendly service. We've visited several times and will keep coming back.

On a sunny afternoon we sat under the shade of trees and had lunch and coffee. The servers were very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. The food was good - pictured is the ploughman's, and my family had a sausage sourdough bap and an English breakfast, both of which were enjoyed. I had an iced coffee which was nice.

Had a pretty nice experience here and glad to see it open (as it was a Monday). Friendly staff and lovely to sit outside on a good day, yes there are better places to get a good coffee nearby (my cappuccino was very milky) and apart from cakes or pancakes we didn’t see food listed though I see from online I think they do sandwiches etc. but it was around midday so maybe no board put out yet. I think it’s worth a visit if you’ve been for a river walk and you need a drink or ice cream and a rest 😎

Lovely place by the river to enjoy an all-day veggie breakfast or a delicious ploughmans with chutney, slaw, salad, and a selection of cheeses. Great food, awesome menu of clasics, great atmosphere, great beverages and coffee, excellent value for money, friendly staff and a cracking location by the riverside. Really popular too. Next time your in Maidstone shopping, forget Mc'D's, stop off and unwind it really is just awesome dining. Can't wait too drop in again. 1000/1000.

My new favourite place to visit for coffee in the summer. Perfect spot by the river for refreshments. Lovely cake and brilliant for vegan options too!

We had a lovely lunch down here on the boat. It was red hot and we had some drinks and some lunch, I had a lovely salad and they went out of their way to cater for our 2 year old. There was a basket of toys for the little ones too. There are some nice looking cakes, but we didn't get that far. There was a wide selection of San pelligrinos too.
We sat in the boat, watched the river and the boats go by, they waved as they went past. It was a really pleasant aspect of Maidstone. I have often driven past the river, and not thought it looked nice, but it really was from down there.
There are tables outside, and you don't have to get on the boat to order or have your food and drink.
