It was excellent. Sandwiches were freshly made and reasonably priced. Staf were friendly and efficient. Will definitely return.

Very good value for money, bread nice and fresh and lovely latte. Young lady serving was very polite and calm even though working on her own, which we noticed some members if the public did not appreciate and a please and a thank you would not have gone amiss.

Quaint setting, lovely you can sit outside if you have pets. The food is just OK. Sausages were similar quality to Walls or Richmonds. The bread was sliced very thickly. There was only one person in and was struggling to get everyone's orders. The coffee was OK.

Me and my family went here for lunch. We all ordered milkshakes as it was advertised that they served fresh milkshakes but what we got was a small plastic cup of Yazoo milkshake which for the price we paid could've got us a big bottle of Yazoo milkshake to share between us at Tesco. We also all ordered either a prawn sandwich or baguette which were filled to the brim and tasted lovely so not all bad. Certainly is a nice local cafe to visit for a small bite.

Love this place..I remember this as a shop! And the well. Us kids adored it. A bit of history for you.History of Broadstairs:Broadstairs, originally a fishing village, dates back to around 1080, and was originally known as ‘Bradstow’It was known to be a smugglers town in the 1700s, and you can still visit the Wishing Well at The Old Curiosity Shop, 9 Harbour Street which is where around 250 years ago a lot of contraband (tea, spirits and tobacco) was hidden from the Customs and Coastguard officers. There are many old and forgotten smugglers tunnels and caves underneath this area.Still amazing now. So glad I popped in so say hello to Mr Bones and his mate!

We went in there today. I ordered a cream tea and a tea. The lady behind the counter quoted a price which wasn't correct. She overcharged me. I challenged it and she agreed to the price which was advertised. No apology!!! I therefore asked for a receipt. This caused more confusion. Eventually s guy came over and asked for my phone number, saying he would text me a receipt. Never arrived. I heard the woman say "did you give him his receipt?" Sorry I asked!! One shouldn't be overcharged, two should get a receipt. Tea and scone were good.
