Coffee Shops & Brunch Spots To Visit In Kent

How do you take your coffee in the morning? Do you choose the Instagrammable microbubbles of a flat white with oat milk?

Ashford

Ashford Designer Outlet, the place to go when pay day comes around and you feel like treating yourself, or when a special occasion is around the corner and you're on the hunt for the perfect pressie. And don't we know it, shopping can be a little tiring, unless you're a shopaholic and can go for hours! Either way, we know you'd appreciate a good rest and some good grub! It's a good thing the Outlet has plenty of food and drink options for you to grab that much needed latte or delicious brunch. With heated outdoor seating and your favourite restaurants like Nando's, Wagas, and Pizza Express, we know you can't go to them all so you'll have to pick a favourite...

Herne Bay

Here in the little seaside town of Herne Bay, there's plenty of little coffee shops that'll give you just what you need when a brunch date comes around, and The Green Door Deli is a local favourite. Brunch, lunch, delicious sweet treats and of course the all-important hot beverage. Another gem in the town is the CS Coffee Lounge. Now, if you're one of those people that makes your brunch date wait, drooling over their food whilst you're busy snapping away at your food for the gram, then you'll be right in your element here. And just wait until you see the pretty interior... Flower walls and pretty pink furniture, trust us, you'll get that Insta-worthy pic in here! We had to mention the Bay Leaf - a Sri Lankan café, serving delicious coffee, cake and lunches in the heart of the town. We wouldn't blame you if you wanted to go on coffee shop crawl of the town, we'll quite happily join!

Whitstable

Head to the heart of Whitstable and you'll find Tea and Times, a local family-run café with a wide range of home-made sandwiches, cakes, and hot dishes for those colder days. Or, fancy brunching in a castle? We thought so! Why not venture into The Orangery Tea Room at Whitstable Castle and enjoy their freshly baked scones or a selection of mouth-watering cakes with a view of the castle gardens. Feeling a little more peckish? Breakfast and lunches are available too!

Thanet

Now for something truly unique... A bus café? Yes, a bus café! Down at one of our favourite Kent seaside towns in Margate, you'll come across this gem of delights, which is quite literally, full of delights! From big bites, to small bits, vegan, to vegetarian and just in case you thought it couldn't get any better, let's throw in the fact that you might spot the words 'award-winning' on the menu a couple times. They quite literally serve up the breakfasts we all need. No seriously, one of their award-winning breakfasts is titled 'The Hangover', and we can all agree that a delicious breakfast is needed after too many tipples (don't worry we're not here to judge!). Heading to Ramsgate? We've got just the place. Archives Homestore & Kitchen has all you need for that perfect brunch dream. Offering delicious all day breakfast/brunches, freshly prepared quiches, soups, salads and cake as well as promoting excellent local makers, producers and growers - it's a no-brainer! Over in Birchington, Quex Barn is the go-to place for a delicious treat. Their restaurant serves up the finest local produce with a little something for everyone, but head there for a lunch and their selection of dishes definitely won't disappoint.
