Honestly the staff are overly accommodating, food was lovely, I felt comfortable, I had ordered a latte without thinking to ask for oat milk so I didn’t drink it. I was asked was everything ok and this was rectified straight away. I was given a new one with oat milk. Not sure if I paid for twice as I didn’t look at the receipt but I was very much willing. Lovely service. They accept dogs also

Most flavourful and well cooked breakfast in Maidstone. We had the Big Builders Breakfast, one with scrambled, one with fried eggs. Both excellent. Midrange price for top end food. All the food was perfectly cooked and all hot. Will be going back to try other meals. Coffee lovely too. And dog friendly!

Great little cafe next to the park. Delicious breakfasts, with awesome sausages! Good selection of cakes and light bites too. Can’t wait to visit again.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here with my family, service was amazing/speedy and the food was delicious! By far the best avocado toast I’ve had from a cafe!

Finally a local brilliant breakfast place. Good and drinks were brilliant and came out fairly quickly even with it being very busy. The sourdough toast is so fresh and perfectly toasted. It was a tad confusing if you just sit or wait at the door. But you can just take a seat. Also found out it is dog friendly which is a nice to know. Overall it was a great experience and wo will be returning!
