AMAZING!!!! In a word. We stayed in Dover for a couple of days, after our cruise, at a hotel down the street on Ladywell, and needed a place to eat breakfast. I googled Dover and there weren't a lot of fresh options near us. Well, this was right around the corner, opened at 8 am, and had a high review rating, so we decided to try it The owner, Sharon, was marvelous and charming. Not only was she personable but very knowledgeable about the area. She made the best cup of FRESHLY GROUND US style coffee I've ever had in Europe. My wife had breakfast tea with her own personal pot. I wasn't sure what to order because I wasn't "gung ho" about having baked beans with breakfast so I saw a sign on the table that offered corned beef hash, which is my favorite meat breakfast including steak and eggs. Sharon warned me it was a big meal and I said " Bring it on!" Boy, she was right (see pics). The corned beef hash was in a word GOURMET. It was served with home style potatoes, onions, fried eggs and bacon. Delicious and perfectly cooked. Sharon made our breakfast so relaxing and inviting that I hoped we'd get another shot at visiting before we left the next day but we had an early train ticket. Because we enjoyed our experience the day before, we made sure to stop by, have my delicious coffee and try the traditional English breakfast "burrito" she was going to make for me, if I returned. A new staff group was there the next day and I thought "oh great maybe things won't be as good" but actually Sharon had mentioned our visit to the gentleman running the cafe the next day which I consider 5 Star Service anywhere in the world. Thank you so much for your amazing food and company and hopefully we'll have the opportunity to return in the future to partake in the best breakfast delicacies in Dover!

What a gem. Sometimes there's those places that you don't want to review because you want it to yourself...this is one. Lovely to sit out in the conservatory area and such a bonus that nobody is smoking or vaping out there. Food portions and choices are great and I especially liked the refillable builders tea! They do a 'free drink for a 5 star review' thing. I would recommend scrapping this as it really doesn't need it...the place is worth a 5 star so be confident in yourselves. I didn't scan because..well...it's excellent and you deserve a great review. Staff are attentive and friendly, even though they're rushed off their feet. One of the best places in Dover. Highly recommended and I'll definitely visit again.

We arrived around midday and ordered two hot coffees and a waffle. Although it was busy, the atmosphere and food were very lovely!

Freshly made, delicious brunch. Lots of options for English, American, vegetarian, or international fusion style brunch. All day breakfast or lunch menu with full service espresso coffees and gourmet teas. I particularly liked the sweet and spicy Korean chicken and waffle.

Wellington’s truly impressed me during my recent visit. I ordered the wrap and the breakfast platter, and both were delicious fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The wrap was perfectly balanced, and the breakfast platter had a great mix of classic items, all cooked just right. I also tried the English Garden drink, which was refreshingly light and beautifully presented. It paired perfectly with the meal and added a nice touch of elegance to the experience. The atmosphere was cozy yet refined, and the service was attentive and welcoming throughout. Overall, a fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch, I’ll definitely be returning!
