It's not about any of the ratings. The Guv' and I had a decent mug of tea each. A very nice rock cake each, and all for a fiver. In these times that was good in my book. Plus, we were sitting on a bench overlooking the sea. Absolutely no complaints from us. Well done.

Just what you'd expect from a seaside breakfast place - the BLT is just the best! Ever. Thank you for such a nice meal we could spend with friends at this fantastic location!

Nice selection of food and very friendly staff. Food is good quality and very tasty chips. Here on a grey rainy day but it's still quite busy.

We visited the cafe after attending Pegwell Bay Parkrun down the road. Fab little cafe which was dog friendly. Stopped for breakfast and mugs of tea. Lovely views over Ramsgate, mild enough to sit outside too. Staff were friendly and its popular with locals as well. Free parking and toilets locally. Would highly recommend. Thanks.

Nice views across the bay. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Fast and friendly service. Can be a bit breezy if you sit outside. Bacon and mushrooms bap was delicious!
