Customer Review Summary
Portions are not praised by everyone. One diner found a quite small pre-sliced sausage and half a slice of fried bread, and felt it was not cheap. Another reviewer says the cafe is somewhat hidden from the neighbouring supermarket car park, so non-locals could easily miss it. The one negative review says the kitchen closed before 3 with no clear display of closing times, and a few reviewers suggest it as a stop on the way to nearby historical attractions around Dover.

“Stopped here with a friend on a motorbike ride-out. The food was freshly cooked, tasted good, only problem was portion size. One quite small sausage, which had been pre-sliced. Half a slice of fried bread. And it wasn't cheap. My friend asked for brown sauce which was served in a ramekin, aka a GÜ pudding bowl. IYKYK.”
- Marius A.
“Cozy place with great coffee! Somehow hidden (as not visible from Lidl’s car park) so if you’re not a local you could easily miss a great coffee break”
