Always lots of people using this local shop so we decided to pop in when we were there. Quality of the breakfast was amazing, must be great for those visiting on cruise ships when they come to the town as its so close. Served with a smile and friendly conversation by staff who really care about the work they do! Will definitely be back again!

Been on holiday to Folkestone and on the last day me and my family decided to check in here for breakfast. The full English was delicious, the mushrooms well cooked, the bacon wasn't too dry nor too juicy, just perfect. Lovely staff and good customer service. I also want to say that since I arrived in Folkestone I've tried quite a few latte's from a range of cafés but the Market Square served me with the best Latte yet. Definitely recommend.

Attractive little café with friendly staff, good food, a selection of delicious cakes and great coffee, conveniently situated in the centre of Dover. There's a good amount of seating inside, and the café is nicely decorated, with a light, welcoming feel. There's a nice range of freshly cooked lunch options to choose from, and the service was efficient. Recommended if you're looking for a good coffee and cake or lunch stop in Dover.

A cosy cafe with a solid menu. The food is amazing here (I don’t have any photos because the sandwich I ordered was gone in seconds), the drinks are nice. I would visit this place again whenever I’m in Dover.
