Anna's in Shepway

We went to Anna’s tearoom for my friends surprise 30th Birthday. It was fabulous!!!! We had the whole tearooms to ourselves and the staff were so lovely and went over and above to make it extra special for us. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the afternoon tea was beautiful best I’ve had, would definitely recommend this lovely tearoom xxxx

Excellent! My friend and I sat upstairs sharing a table for two not far from the bar area. The waitress was very attentive, handed us a menu and asked if we would like to order a drink. I felt a little rushed if I am honest. I wanted a beer but they didn't have any although it was listed. We settled on a tonic water - £1.90 and a regular coffee - £3.20. The food choices were vast for a small establishment but we settled on a smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado & dill mustard sandwich - £7.90 and bacon, brie and avocado sandwich - £7.40. We were offered a choice of bread. Prepared post order and served with salad and crisps - beautifully presented and delicious. At no point did we feel rushed to finish our meal and leave. Anna's Tea Room was busy downstairs with people enjoying afternoon tea which looked very nice. Total bill - £20.40 so very affordable for a lunchtime outing. Definitely recommend

I can't understand the five star ratings. Tea and coffee were OK but the cake was ordinary and a little stale and the sandwiches were made with cheap bread and cold, pre-cooked bacon. We were very disappointed

Fantastic and lovely service. Excellent choice and everything done to perfection. Always a pleasure to go here.

Amazing food, well presented and a large range of food to choose from. Gluten free, dairy free and vegan are available on request. Such a friendly team of staff and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. The customer service was also excellent and prices reasonable. The cakes looked so delicious we could not resist having a piece after our meal. We will definitely be returning soon.

I visited Anna's for the first time today with my daughter. We had the cream tea which was the best I've ever had. It was so nice to be able to choose the sandwiches and cake you want. We even treated ourselves to a couple of glasses of bubbly each!! The atmosphere was very welcoming and calm. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Great food, great staff, great location, what more can I say. I would highly recommend a visit. Tip: best to book in advance, it's a busy place.

Unique little tea room in the heart of Folkestone. Beautiful food. Being gluten free - all my dietary requirements were met and the food was beautiful.

Came here for a private birthday function and was not disappointed. Food was incredible in taste and presentation. Staff were friendly and on point! Did have a peek at the cakes and that would've meant trouble - looking lush and spoilt for choice. Thank you for making the celebration special.

Amazing food and amazing service nothing was ever to much trouble to make my friends bday so special ❤️. I’ve also been before her bday for an afternoon tea it was so lovely fresh food , presecco was lovely 🥰 the service was so friendly so that’s why I chose this venue for a party 🎉 . Highley recommended definitely worth a visit .

What a cracking evening we all had celebrating our lady's grand birthday! The host was incredible and so welcoming. The first was delicious and presented to a high standard!! Yum. Will definitely visit again ☺️

Fab little, quaintly decorated, welcoming place. I had a birthday get together here and we had the cheese and meet boards which were amazing. Also had afternoon tea (with Prosecco of course) which was delicious. Have popped in for lunch and had a job to choose from the tasty menu and best of all they have cakes and cheesecakes to die for plus loads of gins

A place to go for traditional afternoon tea. China teapot and cups, nice interior design. Friendly staff albeit a bit slow considering it was less than half full. Good sandwich with generous filling. We didn’t have any cake, but they looked delicious!

We visited this cute little place today for lunch. Delicious coffee, the best sausage and chutney sandwich and as for the Mars cheesecake, well that was totally amazing. 100% recommended.

Never been disappointed with the choice of food, its presentation or table service (5 stars). Unfortunately, on my last 2 visits in recent months, the small dining area became increasingly noisy when larger groups shared joined tables and consumed alcohol. A tea room for me is somewhere to enjoy good food at leisure, have a quiet chat, and all in relative peace and quiet. So, sorry Anna's, not your fault in any way but I have since found what I want elsewhere in Folkestone but hope this review gives some food for thought.

Came here with my friend and our daughters. Was full inside but got seated in the beautiful garden area. We had the afternoon tea each and they made the girls a kids sandwich. All the food was delicious and we loved the scone and carrot cake. When, not if, we come again we will be trying out the gins!

Been here a few times for afternoon tea and always had a very good experience!! Last visit we had a baby with us and staff were only too happy to accommodate making space for the buggy and were very friendly. This tea room has a lovely vibe about it and we will definitely be going back in the near future and would definitely recommend!!

I booked a table here to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Having had a great experience here before, I really wanted my mum to have a special day. The online booking process was really easy and the correspondence I received was very helpful. I arrived with my young daughter and my mum and sister were already there. Our table was nice and the decor was lovely, which my mum commented on. We had the afternoon tea, the food was very tasty and there was plenty of it. I was however, disappointed by the service that we received. The lady who waited on our table wasn’t very friendly (I don’t think she smiled once) and made us feel as though we were a bit of an inconvenience. Having had excellent service last time, this experience was quite a contrast and I don’t think I’d go back because of it. Such a shame as it’s a lovely little tearoom.

A huge thank you to all staff at Anna’s Tea & Gin room! What an amazing place! Excellent service from the staff and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back!

Had an amazing lunchtime celebrating Carleys birthday 🎂 a big shout at to staff at Anna’s they were so lovely and accommodating and the food was simply divine..highly recommended 🍰❤️

I came with my family and treated my mum to a afternoon tea, they was very accommodating to everything we asked for. The food was amazing! Would defo go again!

On a visit from the US, they were very sweet, good service, understanding of dietary restrictions! 10/10!

Food and service were great. We had the afternoon tea and omlette. The carrot cake was one of the best we have ever had.

I just had the best afternoon tea ! The staff were so welcoming and done everything that can for me ! It was my nans birthday and they heard us saying about it and come down with a candle in our cake ! I’ve never...

Fabulous food and excellent service would recommend this beautiful little tearoom. Nothing is to much for the staff. definitely recommend Anne's

Amazing tasty food, great value for money and lovely friendly staff. The cakes are so nice I couldn't resist buying some extra to take home 😊 would highly recommend x

Went here for afternoon tea with friends. No complaints as far as the food goes (although you don't get a selection of sandwiches but that's ok) cakes, we're yummy & tea was good, but my god the staff were miserable & hostile! Seemed annoyed when...

Amazing......one of the best gluten free afternoon teas I have ever had. Visited with my Mum, Sister Niece and Grandaughter for their first afternoon tea and they loved it. Very friendly, attentive and great food. We would definately recommend to friends and family and visit...

Chose the quiche but it was not up to the normal good standard. Quiche had been heated so pastry crust rubbery. I was not asked if I wanted the quiche heated. Salad a bit tired and cold slaw had a pink dressing. Disappointed..

Great afternoon for my friends baby shower. Mark and his team went out of their way to arrange the restaurant how we wanted and nothing was to much to ask. The festive afternoon tea was delicious and very reasonable. Thank you for having us all....

Been coming to Anna’s for several years. The atmosphere is always lovely with the team doing everything they can, to make your visit as special as possible! The meals are gorgeous (personally recommend the jacket potato with ham cheese and chutney) and drinks exceptional. I...

Yummy gluten free sandwich and fruit scone, very knowledgeable about coeliac disease ( family member is a coeliac) , lovely little tea room

11 of us had booked for afternoon tea today, and we were not disappointed! We were served by two very attentive waitresses, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The service they provided was very personal , taking time to take our orders. The...

We stumbled across Anna's after walking by many of the eateries n Folkestone and we're so glad we found this little gem. The food was excellent. The staff kind and friendly. Lovely tea service. No wonder Anna's has top ratings through-out the web.

Afternoon tea was beautiful, Super child friendly, staff are so lovely! 100% would recommend! 10/10!

Absolutely amazing- , great atmosphere, great staff and outstanding food . Highly recommend this place if you are considering an afternoon tea. Food is plentiful and good value for money with unlimited tea or coffee... very attentive staff where nothing is ever too much trouble and a place to visit for sure

In the back streets and quite easy to miss but a beautiful tea room waiting to be discovered. We only had coffee but was tempted by their menu. Attentive, friendly staff who made us feel very welcome.

The Mothers Day afternoon tea was delicious. Easter Monday we had the cheese and meat platter. This was also lovely. Both were presented well and plenty for two people. I have had several orders now and they have all been great. Thank you

Lovely takeaway lunch presented on a tray. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good excellent quality good but having ordered before we were confident it would be great. Thank you.

We ordered two Classic Afternoon Teas which consists of sandwiches of our choice, scones, jam, butter, clotted cream, a piece of cake we chose victoria sandwich.As always they were delicious, fresh, and tasteful. As it was lockdown we had them delivered at home for a small charge.

This is the second time I have been here in October, and the service is top top. Amy is outstanding at service, polite, attentive and cheerful. The best service I have ever received in Folkestone!! I work in a pub myself and I have never received such brilliant service. The food is very nice and the place is charming and thoughtfully decorated. I highly recommend this lovely place.

This was a really nice evening with friends .Anna’s is simply lovely - always get a warm and genuine welcome in intimate surroundings .Tonight was a musical evening with songs from the last few decades - great singing by Tom and some funny stories too .There is a large drinks menu particularly if you are a gin fan and as a driver there was a fantastic choice for me to choose from.Shannon who looked after us tonight was helpful , knowledgeable and attentive .Top place - always hits the spot !

What can I say ....other than excellent on all fronts , great setting, great service, great value and wonderful social distancing controls. The whole ‘Afternoon tea’ experience was fantastic and I was so impressed, I have booked to attend a Gin evenT with friends in September fo share this little gem we found.

I've always wanted to visit Anna's and my friend treated me for my birthday. They helped her arrange a surprise for me. The staff were so welcoming. Everything was brilliant, the place is chintz overload and I loved it. The food was lovely and filling. All I can say is the cherry jam was a revelation. Look forward to revisiting.

I booked a table in the garden for myself and my daughter for a treat. The weather was lovely and the garden was delightful.We had homemade scones and a jacket potato and a lovely chilled bottle of Prosecco.The prices were good and the service outstanding. Thank you Anna’s and see you again soon

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing range of Gin!! Lovely girlie afternoon. We were a big group and the service was well organised and prompt never an empty glass! Will defo be coming again.

Annas never disapoints, lush food as always,great choices of everything, gutted it was a bit early in the day to sample the gin menu! Second meal out since lockdown has eased & felt totally safe here. Will definitely be back soon x

Great service overall. Delivered as promised, beautiful presentation and delicious food. Excellent value and brightened up (another) lockdown day!!

With the lockdown decided to order a picnic lunch for my husband's birthday. It was lovely meats.cheese, pickles salad biscuits and bread all attractively arranged in a wooden tray which you get to keep. I was recommended by a friend who had a lovely afternoon tea delivered.Plan doing that next. Many thanks to all at Annas.

Thank you so much for taking such a beautiful afternoon treat to my daughter. We live in Devon and she and our grandson so deserved this. Everybit was scrummy and scones as good as grandads!

Delicious food served here, breakfast, scone and tea, jacket potato. i really like it here, i wish they had more seating space as it is often busy. which is not a surprise as the breakfast, food, cakes served are delicious. I can't wait to enjoy an afternoon tea soon. Not many places in Folkestone where you can go to enjoy a sweet or cheese home baked scone but this is the one!

Very nice food, wonderful service. The cafe s beautifully decorated with a homely touch. We had a high tea which was delicious.

Yummy toasted tea bread! Always good value, always good food. Nothing too much trouble, friendly and efficient service. Spotlessly clean!

Great value, excellent service, menu offers plenty of choice and afternoon tea is a must! Give this place a go!

This place offers quality food at reasonable prices! Add the great service and atmosphere! Give it a try you won’t be disappointed!

My friend and l booked an afternoon tea, Mark was very attentive as we asked if we could swap our sandwiches for different fillings. Nothing was too much trouble, lovely homemade food, would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Thoroughly recommend. Beautiful quaint tea rooms, tuck away from the hustle and bustle of the high street. My friend and I had a fabulous afternoon tea, comprising sandwiches, homemade scones with jam & cream, homemade cake and homemade mince pie, with as much tea or coffee as you wished. Give it a try, you will NOT be disappointed

Went here after reading reviews. I wasn't disappointed, very friendly clean environment. Great food and service. Will visit again.

Went here today with my friend, would recommend it to anyone.we had a lovely breakfast.it is very clean and quirky.the owner mark is very friendly and welcoming. We definitely will be returning.

I went here today for breakfast with my mate, would thoroughly recommend to anyone, very clean, quirky and the owner was very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, will definitely be coming back again, and the cake was to die for Donna

Dont really want to recommend this place as its so lovely trying to keep it secret ! They probaly need larger premises ! Had the most delicious afternoon tea for four of us . Sandwiches ( egg mayonaisse, smoked salmon and cucumber and cheese /chutney) , scones ( plain , cherry and also cheese)and cakes all beautifully fresh and delicious .Endless tea . We had their biscotti cheescake which was really, really good ! Lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere too . Great little place and very good value .

I’m not sure what to write. Walked in after seeing an a frame offering me breakfast and a pot of tea, feeling hungry and seeing as I was meeting a blind date at primark I went in. I was greeted by a bearded gentleman who quickly seated me and took my order, off he popped and soon cane back with my pot of tea and a bowl full of sugar.

We are "ladies that Lunch" so we tried Anna's for something different and we had a marvellous treat. Cream Teas for 3

Spare of the moment visit nice warm welcome. Food as always is good fresh ingredients always presented well and tastes great .Nice pot of tea and prawn sandwich with salad back soon to try the cake .well done see you all soon .Dave

Fabulous service, cakes & scones (huge 😊) were delicious, had a very extensive menu with all sorts on it as well, a lovely little find, will visit again. Highly recommend.

This place certainly is a WOW !

Myself and my mum popped in to Anna's this weekend after hearing it had been taken over by new owners, and we were pleasantly surprised. The interiors are beautiful and clean, and the food was outstanding. We had the afternoon tea package with cakes, scones and sandwiches and they were all so delicious. The sandwiches were especially good! Anyone weary about this lovely establishment being taken over by new owners, have no fear, the food and atmosphere do not disappoint. I think next time we may even go into the garden around the back of the shop!

My second time here and it was just as good as my first visit last year. Everything is fresh with generous portions and tastes yummy. Sadly, I was informed that Anna’s is being taken over by new owners and I’m hoping that they manage to keep it as good as it is now. Back next month for my birthday so we shall see.

This small establishment is quite unique, serving dishes to cater for all dietary requirements, freshly made to order. It creates such a pleasant, relaxed environment, with 'vintage' style crockery, served by attentive and friendly staff. I just popped in for a quick breakfast, but their afternoon teas appear to be a speciality. I'll certainly return.

Ongelooflijk vriendelijk ontvangen.

A really fantastic place for breakfast. The couple running the café were delightful and the food was amazing really enjoyed the eggs Benedict . Great coffee and such a warm welcome will definitely return on a regular basis.

Very friendly and accommodating lady serving and coffee and scone was lovely, we sat upstairs so it wasn’t too noisy. Downstairs was a couple of women with young children.

Very cozy and lovely place in Folkestone. Ample variety of fresh food, including salads, sandwiches and delicious cakes. Highly recommended

Excellent food and friendly food. We had to take some away with us as there was so much. Good place for a mini celebration.

I visited on Wednesday with my mum and sister to celebrate my mum's birthday. We had afternoon tea and was not disappointed. Everything was really fresh and the scones are to die for. Great value for money, I couldn't eat it all. Can't wait for our next visit.

We visited Anna’s recently and it was a real treat. We had reserved a table in advance and were given a very friendly and warm welcome. There was a mouthwatering and generous range of beautiful home baked cakes available to tempt us and it was difficult to choose which one to try! We settled for the chocolate cake and the lemon drizzle. Both were simply delicious and I loved the little added touch of strawberries which adorned the side of our plates by way of a pretty garnish. The pot of tea was massive and for a tea lover such as myself this was heaven!

A little Gem in Folkestone, Great service and lovely food. Visited after reading the many reviews on here and Anna's didn't disappoint. We will be back.

Myself and my better half popped into Anna's for a midweek brunch.

I've been here many times in the last few years, and I'm always impressed. It's my go-to place in Folkestone.

Visited today with my mum and daughters for lunch. We enjoyed our sandwiches and jacket potatoes and the service was friendly and efficient. We appreciated the little touches like the roses and pretty tea service. Will definitely visit again.

took mum for an early afternoon tea - what a lovely venue - great food, fantastic service and very friendly service. We brought a bottle of fizz with us as they don't have an alcohol licence. We'll come again. thank you!

Was looking for somewhere to have lunch , my daughter googled a few places and Anna's had best reviews, we were not disappointed it was a lovely lunch , hopefully will be back

Having been to Anna's for a nice lunch with my daughters. I thought I would write a small review. The service is friendly and courteous. We had a selection of foods all of which were well presented and enjoyable. The deserts we chose were all homemade and so tasty. Overall, a lovely lunch meal at Anna's. We definitely will visit again.

I would be hard pushed to find a warmer welcome and jovial atmosphere anywhere in Folkestone. It is a rare thing to find a great menu that lives up to the hype! Service was swift and friendly, and when the food arrived complete with salad garnished with a lovely when spending a quiet lunch with my partner! The desert choice was tough, but went for the salted caramel cheesecake, this was a winner, delicious to the last crumb, still kicking myself for not licking the plate!

We had the signature afternoon tea. Sandwiches were tasty and great flavours but were disappointed that you only got the choice of one as the reason we choose afternoon tea is for selection. Scones were delicious however were disappointed by the use of fresh cream rather than clotted. Cakes looked and tasted amazing and good choice of flavours, but again only had choice of one. Unlimited tea and coffee and the choice of juice drink was great, beautifully presented and nicely decorated inside. Service was friendly however we were originally turned away after being told no tables were available. Luckily we asked if this was for the whole day because there was only a 20 minute wait which they would not have told us otherwise and we would have left! Recommend booking in advance if you want to visit.

Visited with my 2 daughters. We had the signature afternoon tea. It was fantastic! Delicious sandwiches, gorgeous warm scones and a difficult choice of tempting cakes. All beautifully presented And with pretty crockery. Very good value.

Cathy and Nick really know how to make a small business work. Tea, coffee and cakes are great. A perfect combination and long may it continue.

Great service and quality food! Decor and ambiance make this a place well worth a visit! Recommend the sandwiches which always impress.

This is a cafe/tea rooms with a character of its own. Small yet welcoming place, which appears popular with regulars.

On Sunday, my friends hired out Anna's for a private function for my baby shower and it truly was the best afternoon thanks to the hospitality of Anna's. Nothing was too much for them, topping up our tea and constantly checking we were ok. The place was packed and they delivered every request - just perfect hosts. Really really grateful! The food was amazing, especially the fruit scone, the carrot cake and the chocolate orange cake! Sorry about the mess left behind though!

A delicious afternoon tea where everything was home made, very tasty. The ham was lovely, scone and jam excellent quality. Lovely service, plenty of great coffee, many thanks

Visited today with my wife and daughter. Although I have been here before. This is the first time since it was taken over by new management. The restaurant is very pleasing to the eye and the management and staff extremely welcoming and attentive. There is a varied menu to suit all tastes and very reasonably priced. We all ordered jacket potatoes with different fillings. My prawn cocktail was excellent and one of the best jacket potatoes I have ever had. If you are ever in Folkestone this is a must visit. However, I would recommend that you book first.

Spent a fabulous afternoon at Anna’s, celebrating my daughters Baby Shower. Amazing hosts, fabulous food in beautiful surroundings. Thank you to Nick and Anna for making this special occasion extra, extra special!

We ordered whole cakes from Annas for a history exhibition launch at Sunflower House in Folkestone. We had over 120 people at the event and there were so many compliments for the amazing cakes! We had coffee & walnut, elderflower & lemon, carrot cake and chocolate rolo cake! Personally my favourite was the carrot cake - moist and sublime flavours! The chocolate rolo cake ran out the fasted! Not a cheap deal, these are made to perfection and are worth a bit of investment to make guests very very happy!

A charming family run cafe with fantastic cheese scones and huge slices of cake!Loved the beautiful tea sets !

We visited Anna’s today and we absolutely loved it. The attention to detail is stunning, from the beautiful tea cups to the roses served as a garnish. I ordered the avocado on toast with crispy bacon and it was hands down the most delicious avocado on toast I have ever eaten. We cannot wait to come back and try more. A beautiful spot for breakfast, thank you!

A little cute cafe with a homely atmosphere and family run.

I've made it my mission to visit as many cafes that "I've always meant to visit" during my mat leave. The only downside to Anna's is I may now struggle to visit any others. Came for brunch with my in-laws. Staff could not be more helpful, food was excellent and I've never seen such beautiful presentation at a cafe! To top it off, I ordered a slice of chocolate cake. It was, quite possibly, the best cake I have ever eaten. They do whole cakes to order and I will certainly be getting one for my birthday next month!

This place is defiantly worth visiting if you are in folkstone.

I visited here with my parents for my birthday after reading the excellent reviews and was totally bowled over.
