Stopped in for quick lunch while on a cycle loop from Broadstairs. Excellent food, great coffee, lovely couple running it. Will definitely be going back.

An absolute gem of a place. We had the breakfast Burritos (one as a veggie) which were the perfect blend of ingredients, the crispy hash browns adding some bite. We struggled to finish them! Smoothies were gorgeous. So many other excellent breakfast/brunch options from traditional to options you would find in a bistro like avo on toast. Oh, one option has prosecco! They do cocktails too and have a lovely small garden out back. The prices are incredible value. Just go!

Went to meet friends for breakfast. Easy parking. Premises were lovely, clean, welcoming and the staff were friendly and helpful. But the food....oh my days, absolutely delicious! Freshly cooked, well presented, hot and perfect sized portions. We will definitely be visiting again and will recommend to others. Oh and it's dog friendly too! Bonus!

We stopped here for coffee and toast, while on a walk exploring the area..This is a little gem of a cafe. Great coffee and toast was some of the best we've ever sampled. Stylish decor and great background music. A great vibe. Thank you. We wish you success for the future.

Absolutely go here! We tried Juliet’s first which was so overcrowded and the menu uninspiring, so drove the short distance to Village Kitchen which was soo worth the trip. My partner had the full English which was hearty but not greasy, and I enjoyed some scrummy avo on toast. Lovely tranquil little garden out back to enjoy the sunshine and really quick/friendly service too. Smoothie’s delicious as were the coffees! If we lived closer we’d be back all the time!
