My favourite place in Margate (with the pub right next door holding a close second!). Superb coffee, incredible food, amazing views and the loveliest staff. A proper small business built up from scratch and surviving the lockdowns to become part of a community. They have great special events, shots and tasty cocktails as well. Especially recommend the beans and banana bread, so delicious!

If a dip in the sea hasn't woken you up, then it's time to grab a flat white from Big Shot. The service, atmosphere and coffee will leave you feeling like a big shot.

Best banana bread in the whole wide world. The only problem is you’ll want another slice. Hats off to the chef, I believe he’s called Jeff

First time visiting here and it wasn’t very positive. Iced coffee completely tasteless. Couldn’t taste any coffee what so ever, atmosphere felt a little awkward and stressful. Wouldn’t be back.

Big Shot is always superb - the coffee is always on point, and the food delicious. The waffle with egg and bacon is one of the greatest dishes served in Margate and probably the UK.

I hate to be that person who leaves a review with any negatives, but I do feel like I want to feedback my experience. Due to how popular and busy the coffee/cake takeout area was, and how small the building is, having a large group of people in there for a bottomless brunch was just a bit of a nightmare. We were upstairs squeezed into a corner with a constant flow of customers pressed up against us awaiting their takeout coffees. I'm not fussy on how my drinks are served but my friends were very unimpressed when they received proseccos in a large glass tumbler, and also when the food menu was totally different to that available online. We did have to wait 30 mins to receive our first drink which was irritating given that we only had a 1.5hr slot (but I do believe we ran over this time in the end). My only other minor complaint would be that we did not get given a prosecco bottle to keep on the table, we were just given top ups by staff as and when, and the prosecco was warm when served - they also ran out of orange juice after only a short time, we preferred the mimosa option because the prosecco was in all honestly really difficult to drink. Again I feel awful leaving negative feedback because the staff were lovely and very accommodating, but I do think the whole 'bottomless brunch' idea needs revisited as its such a busy and popular place for coffee, overall it just didn't feel like that bottomless brunch experience we had hoped for, especially for the price of £38 a head.

They put a lot of effort and attention into what they are doing. I love their coffee, not acidic like the thankfully not too long-lived, London trend blends. They have a more "Arabica-like Italian style blend" in my opinion (but I should have asked really) my preference and daily going to pleasure. Vegan cake options (very nice) and if I am correct, all hand made (?) or at least the banana loaf is ! Get in and talk to the staff. They are lovely!!!

Popped in for a bit of lunch and although very busy managed to get a table. Staff as always were very friendly and food lovely as usual. This is a small local cage which has a lovely welcoming atmosphere which would highly recommend. I had the Colonel mustard cheese sandwich and my wife had the 3 cheese grilled sandwich both of which were delicious

We had brunch here and hugely enjoyed it! The menu is small but varied and all the options were very appealing. They aren't marked on the menu but gluten free options are offered by substituting the bread in most recipes with potato hash. I had the burrito and my partner had the bacon/cheese toastie - both were delicious and well presented. Big Shot has a super cute mascot shaped like their giant tea mugs, so we picked up one of their collaboration beers and some locally roasted coffee to take home with us. I wish this place was local to us, we'd be regulars.

Lovely cafe on the seafront, with a delicious menu. The mapled bacon is fantastic, and made on site, as were all the pastries and treats. The eggs were also incredible. Don’t think I’ve ever been so excited by an egg. Everything was great quality and homemade by one of the owners, Jeff. Who was great and clearly took pride in giving us a lovely breakfast. Also picked up a lovely print by a local artist there as well. Will defiantly be back next time we’re down.
