Cafe Nucleus in Medway

Have been here twice now, and it's one of the best breakfasts around. This time we were seated upstairs and it was even more fantastic. I can't believe there's a cafe this good in Rochester. The service was amazing, we didn't have to wait at all for our incredible food and drinks and it was delicious. Highly recommended. Coming back soon.

Would definitely recommend!The food was very tasty. Didn't have to wait too long and all the staff were very friendly.Only downside I would say is it's quite small. So as a large group we had to be sat on two tables but because of it being small we were still quite close and could talk to eachother.

Absolutely wonderful! Fabulous food, mostly locally sourced and set in the most glorious building. First class service, staff couldn't do enough for us. We were so well looked after. Better than top London restaurants I've visited, even Michelin starred. Can't wait to go back

Really great food and fantastic value for money too! 3 drinks, 3 mains and 2 desserts for £60. Service and atmosphere/decor were both lovely. There were vegan options for my friend, all the food was of an excellent quality and the portion sizes were generous. I had the chai latte, croque salmon, and the peanut butter stack. The sandwich was lovely, but the latte and dessert were phenomenal, absolutely recommend both, especially the peanut butter stack if you have a sweet tooth!

We have visited Cafe Nucleus in Rochester twice now and only found out about it for less than a month!The first time we booked was a fluke, we were looking to have breakfast outdoors somewhere and thought this looks nice, lets try. We were in for a treat! And I can officially say that in and around medway this is definitely my favourite place to have breakfast/brunch.I have always said the way staff treat you really makes or breaks a venue for me because there is so much choice around. Every single staff we have come across in this cafe is genuinely attentive and very friendly (but we particularly loved Ivan's vibe!).Lets start with the outdoors experience first:The trees and plants give it a tropical garden vibe and it it a very zen location.The outdoor decor is very nice and I loved the additional touch of having blankets on the chairs to wrap up in because everyone knows what the british weather is like!There is attention to even small details like the latte glass which is insulated keeping the drink warm outside whilst not burning your fingers.We tried the full english and the canadian breakfast on this trip and they were both very scrumptious!On our next visit we opted to have a seat inside. The building is truly magnificent and the christmas tree next to the opulent fireplace definitely makes if feel elegant but cosy.This time we opted for the caviar with scrambled eggs breakfast and the beef with horseradish sandwich, both of which again was superb.I quite enjoyed the bloody mary too, very well spiced!And do not forget on your way out to have a look in the gallery which has some very interesting prints and original art pieces to admire and purchase. I think I am definitely getting one myself on my next trip.Now for the only downside, I definitely advise to book in advance as they do not have many tables (especially indoors). Also the booking times are in around 1hr time slots and so you sort of are always on edge about having to leave.

I was looking forward to afternoon tea the atmosphere was lovely as was the surroundings. What I was disappointed with was the fact that when I booked I mentioned a seafood allergy twice and when we arrived I was assured they had taken this into account. The food when it came was on a 2 tier stand with salmon sandwiches tucked in on the same plate with everything else and no provision made to substitute the salmon that I could not eat for an alternative. I got to eat 3 little sandwiches. We then asked for one of our party to have coffee instead of tea which was accommodated we requested lactose free milk only to find out on the second cup that the first was not lactose free which caused my friend no end of stomach problems later. I also thought for £30 a head they could of done better as I consider this quite expensive for what we received.

Top notch cafe to enjoy a coffee/tea with a nice slice of cake ! Staff is very helpfull and friendly. The choice selection for cakes is super, and these are really of extra-ordanairy quality. Sitting outside enjoying the sunny weather on their tiny terrace is a pleasure you shouldn't miss.

Oh I should say it’s a best place you can go, lovely and polite staff.The tables were all booked but one of the staff kindly came after us and said there is one cancellation.The east of the branches we hade was perfect. I definitely recommend here.

Found at the end of the historic Rochester high street, Cafe Nucleus sits in a grand building with the thrill of London minus the crowds. The decor at first drew me in with carefully thought out artwork peppered over every floor. The grand piano that sits on the first floor offers a classy feel as do the attentive and friendly staff.In true fashion, I ordered a full English breakfast which was quite possibly the best yet. There was an option of white, brown or sourdough bread and a chance to modify the dish. The herbs and vegetables were fresh, there were plentiful baked beans and the meat was cooked just right. I also tried the vegetable sausages which were equally juicy.Thank you for having us!

This was an amazing find. After walking the length of Rochester High Street without a lunch booking, we nearly disputed until we came across this fantastic venue. Howard was amazing in getting us the last possible table, then looking after us for lunch, and when we returned for a well-warned drink after exploring the city. Could not recommend more highly, but make sure you book!
