Bricks Coffee House in Maidstone

We went with a group of girls on a very busy Saturday morning. We had to wait 10 minutes for a table, but were seated by a lovely lady with dark hair, really bubbly and welcoming. Coffee was amazing, I had a mint mocha, my friends tried the Christmas cookie latte and also said it was very yummy. All topped off with a mince pie for the festive season. Oh and this was my first mince pie of the year… naughty but nice. A lovely morning in a lovely friendly local coffee shop. Merry Christmas Ladies

5/6th time of coming here , always ask for decaf coffee, each time I’m up all night afterwards as I’m not given the asked for decaf coffee, I don’t ask for it as it’s a fancy I ask for it because caffeine does not agree with me keeps me awake & irritates my limbs , sadly I won’t be going there again I keep giving them a 2nd chance , but their not taking it 🤦‍♀️sad really

Amazing girls and service in Bricks! We come every week. So many extra bits for christmas and great music too! Our regular spot and will never go anywhere else

There was a long queue so I left my friend to order whilst I went to find us a seat, I could see a handful available. Was stopped and told it’s first come first served and as you get to the front of the queue you’re allocated a table. Seems fair in principle but does this mean I’ll spend 10-15 minutes queuing to: - then be turned away because there’s no seats? - be given a drink in a china mug only to have to just… stand there? - get to the front and be told it’s takeaway only (when the point of our stop for a coffee was to sit down?) Every other coffee shop seems to manage without this ridiculous allocated seating arrangement. Didn’t appreciate the sarcastic and repetitive “not interested? No? No?” as we left either. (The only thing I said was ‘ok thanks’.)

Awful staff so rude. AVOID unless yo are desperate. Just don’t want your custom and to be subjected to sarcastic ‘Bye, bye, bye, oh bye’ as we left was so rude after such awful service

Special mention to the staff who were super welcoming! had a nightmare of a morning, getting a flat on the way to work the girls took great care of me whilst waiting for a spare. With a slice of cake and cuppa in hand.

Was heading to Nottcuts Garden Centre and had seen good reviews about this place so decided to drop in. Happy to say the reviews were right for once, lol. Lovely staff, very friendly, and although they were closing early when we went in they didn't rush us at all. The cake I had, the ginger cake, was delicious. Moist and very tasty. The hot chocolate was even better. Can't recommend this place enough!!

This is a busy little cafe, staff were incredibly helpful, nothing too much 😁 (There is another cafe in Notcutts next door, staff in there were rude and surly, we had only just ordered our drinks and sat down and a member of their staff told us we had to drink up as it was 4:30 and the cafe closed at 5 and she wanted to clear our table.) Go to Bricks, have a lovely coffee with pleasant staff who are pleased you see you 👍👍😁

Love this place!! Really nice coffee, decent cakes and always friendly/welcoming staff 😊

Great coffee shop just a shame they don't have a loo

Great place for a coffee stop especially compared to other local places; lovely staff that make such an effort to accommodate and the cake choices are good - i can highly recommend the ginger loaf, a big piece that’s surprisingly light and non sickly . We’ve also had the toasted sarnies and the only slight negative is I wish they also did sourdough toasties here then it’d be perfect! But at least there’s always a heated sausage roll or toasted cheese scone & marmite until then 😊. Had the best iced cappuccino on warmer days, very well made here, as they’re never quite right anywhere else.

Nice choice of cakes and coffee, seating out site if weather is good, if you go on Sunday mornings the DFL 'runners' are in and you have to wait ages and have issues getting a table

Prices are a bit expensive, but the workers are just all happy and polite, very difficult to give anything less than 5 stars.

staff really friendly and helpful and the cherry blossom tea is lush my son had 3!!!. amazing cakes.

Could do with some vegan options, staff very helpful & friendly which makes a huge difference!

Lovely smoothie which was all I ordered. Very refreshing. Nice attentive staff especially the dark haired waitress. Really smashing girl.

Amazing tea and coffee, ☕. Would recommend.

Better than the chains, brought the drink to table.

Lovely place for a coffee,sandwich and cake.Lovely clean place.Lovely friendly and helpful staff.Always a great place to visit.

Their chicken, bacon and cheese focaccia is the best! Not brilliant coffee though

Lovely friendly ladies, had a wonderful hot chocolate. Haven't visited this place in decades, will come again for sure. Go have a look!!

This is a really lovely coffee house, decor and cleanliness was fantastic. The staff are so polite and friendly. Great experience 👍 Thank you

Their coffee is the best I've had! Perfectly balanced. Can't wait to visit again - the cakes were really tasty too.

Never disappointed visiting here. Always a lovely selection of food, friendly staff, and some good vegan dessert choices when it comes to the cakes to have with a coffee. I recently opted for the vegan Banana, Walnut and Chocolate Chip cake and the biggest slice appeared, a very generous serving. And very delicious it was too. Will always recommend Bricks as it's a lovely place to go....

Expensive, miserable staff! The white hot chocolate was undrinkable, thick and gloopy and sickly, we left it. Won't visit again anytime soon!

Fantastic coffee, friendly helpful staff.

Lovely place, but I didn't eat, so i can't comment. Very clean, great staff. Tables were a bit too close for me, I found it hard to hear what people i was with were saying. Saying that, I would visit again.

Rather crowded but very prompt service. Nice coffee but no decaf.

Such a wonderful stop off, great coffee and yummy side treats that I should probably not be eating. Served by lovely polite helpful staff, I recommend popping in here.

Have visited before so pleased to have a good selection of vegan cakes banana one was delicious. Coffee good with plant based milk. Friendly staff can give it 5stars

The new white ginger bread mocha was amazing! Never had white chocolate mixed with gingerbread but wow! Thankyou for always serving with a smile!

Really lovely coffee shop. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Caramel Macchiato is definitely recommended also the chocolage orange brownie. Staff friendly and welcoming

Busy coffee shop, really friendly staff.

Nice little coffee house with a good buzz inside. Coffee was good but a little expensive.

Amazing experience as always. The staff are so welcoming and serve your every need with a smile. This creates a lovely atmosphere. The drinks and food superb too. Love this place

Was going to order lunch for myself and my daughter but really needed the loo first . Could not believe they didn't have one ! On asking where the nearest one was , I was told quite sharply that it was in the main garden centre! Consequently we had lunch elsewhere.

Great coffee shop. Good selection of food/drinks, pleasant staff and nice atmosphere.

Decent coffee, tasty cakes and smiling staff, make for a great place to have a coffee.

Nice little coffee house at Notcutts, and an alternative to the Notcutts cafe if you want a drink and a snack.

I usually go to the cafe a couple of times during the week as it is on my daily walking route . The latte is perfect , the lemon cake is excellent but too popular !!! . The staff are wonderful, very efficient and very friendly , happy pleasant atmosphere . It’s a pleasure coming here each time . Shame I am out of the country for 6 months of the year . Good luck Steve Seth ( Scotsman ) x

Nice little place. Lovely staff. Sandwiches, I think, are well overpriced for what they were..two siimple cheese and ham no extras and a couple of standard coffees over £16.

My first visit to Bricks Coffee House was exceptional - the service was beautiful and the Mocha - gosh, the BEST I've ever had! From the moment we walked in, there is a warm and welcoming feeling, a place of comfort, fun and lovely energy. The ladies here are the sweetest. We're really grateful that we've found this place and it's now become a regular!

Delightful friendly coffee shop. Easy parking. Good espressos & charming staff. Easy parking & comfortable seating.

Awaiting appt at hospital. Ok sandwich but nice cake. No smoking outside.

Great place to go! Wide selection of food and drink and lots of seating!

courteous and smiling staff, fast and precise service, clean place, tables even outdoors ... and good food. I had breakfast there for 5 days in a row, I recommend it

Lovely place to pop into. Can get busy but always get a table. Reasonably priced food and super helpful staff

Great coffee, friendly service!!

Great staff, good coffee....looked after our dog. Lovely local spot, really unusual to get such good service like this!

Great coffee, cakes are delicious!!!

Wonderful little place! The staff are always very friendly and serve with a smile. We are self confessed coffee snobs so are very fussy about our coffee, this place comes up trumps!! The coffee is first class! Lovely atmosphere and very clean, a real little gem!

Nice, clean, good quick coffee's and cake

Friendly staff, great coffee and food!

Love coming here. Staff are always so friendly and helpful. Had a lovely mid morning coffee outside last week. There are a number of tables outside for the warmer weather. I'd highly recommend this place for drinks, sandwiches and snacks.

White hot chocolate and the caramel latte was superb! Raspberry and white chocolate muffins absolutely scrumptious!

Lovely coffee shop the coffee is superb very smooth. Lovely friendly helpful staff

Lovely small cafe, we meet our friends there frequently.

Lovely coffee shop , friendly , welcoming staff , very clean and importantly lovely coffee and cake -

Bricks has become my local coffee shop. The staff are friendly, welcoming and well informed about what they sell. You won't find a better tasting coffee either!

Came to bricks with my family this weekend! Big outside seating area with brolleys which was great! Kids loved the milkshakes. Amazing coffee for us adults too! My daughter has a nut allergy so we was advised on not only nut free cakes but the servers favourite nut free cakes! The server was really helpful and informative when it came to ingredients in their cake supplies! We was informed that bricks is having a refurb in the coming weeks,personally I think it’s lovely already but looking forward to the changes! Thankyou as always

A warm friendly welcome on a Monday morning. We visit Bricks every Monday with a group of friends! The staff are always friendly and very efficient. A big selection of cakes to choose from, and always amazing coffee. Thankyou girls!

The best place for coffee & cake! Couldn’t ask for better staff or a warmer welcome. Much better than any chain nearby! Good for families, friends & anyone for that matter. Bricks is the best 💖

We stopped here on the way back from our travels needing coffee and washrooms. We ordered our coffee and then asked for the toilets. Imagine our surprise when we were directed to the Garden Centre next door. As we had already paid for our coffees we had no choice but to return. Such a shame as the coffee and cakes were really nice. Checked up on this situation and apparently places have to offer toilets if there is seating provided for 10 + people which there definitely was. At least a notice could be put in the window before people go in.

Visited Xmas eve and it was really busy, staff were really friendly and helpful and coffee was lovely. Thank you, Happy new year

Allergy sufferers/vegans beware. My husband and I visited Bricks a week ago, we were both hesitant as we'd never been before and we both have dairy and gluten allergies. We decided to give it a try as it was very quiet which meant we'd have...

Have been going here for a number of years. Staff excellent and treat you very well. Good coffee and cake

We have used the coffee house a few times and each time the service has been very slow. We keep hoping it will improve but it never does. Today we went to get a takeaway latte. 5 people were working in the coffee house and...

We visited early Sunday morning the staff couldn’t be bothered to say good morning and the shelf’s were practically bare. The coffee was very good though As we left we said goodbye to the girls huddled together at the counter but not one of them...

Met a friend for coffee and we had warmed cheese scones (could have been cheesier ) they were very tasty. Very busy and great atmosphere. Serve all types of coffee and cakes.

We visited here for the first time and it will definitely not be the last! Fantastic service with a smile. Reasonably priced with great coffee. It was a lovely day so we could sit outside. Would not hesitate to recommend a visit.

Visited today... Four staff visible, chatting around the coffee machine... One of the girls drinking coffee. Nobody served us... It was like we were completely invisible. Really quiet in the shop... 2 other tables in use. We popped around the corner and had an excellent...

Friendly efficient service by staff who really care. A popular meeting place in a warm inviting atmosphere

Went here today for the first time. Really lovely atmosphere, nice coffee, pretty cakes and fabulous service from a young man called Harry. Will definitely go back.

We dropped into Bricks Coffee shop for a cup of coffee after a Sunday afternoon visit to the garden centre next door. We chose Bricks because the garden centre coffee shop looked busy and we wanted to try somewhere different. The inside of the Coffee...

thank you to the wonderful staff who posted my shopping bag inadvertantly left in the cafe. I recommend the Black Forest hot choc.

Good service, staff friendly. A nice environment but not the tastiest coffee. Food rather over priced.

This was our first visit and it will be our last. Service and food both very poor. Just have coffee in Notcutts.

Just a very good coffee shop. Larger inside than it looks from the road, seating about 50 inside with an outdoor seating area (in the sun, weather permitting) of about another 20 people. All the usual hot/cold and soft drinks, cakes, buns, sandwiches and baguettes...

We live local and was looking for somewhere out of town for a coffee and cake. We stopped here (next to nottcutts garden centre) and had hot drinks and cake. This is a smallish place so selection was limited. The main disappointment here though is...

Took my aunt out to celebrate her 91st birthday. I wheeled her around Notcutts garden centre to smell the roses, then up the ramp to Bricks for coffee and cake which was brought to our outside table (too nice a day to be inside, though that looked nice too).

Great coffee shop which really looks after you. Good quality drinks served at table. Did not eat food but it looked good.

I went for coffee with my carer and was impressed by this independent coffee shop, firstly there are a good number of disabled parking bays which as I'm in a wheelchair is very useful, secondly although the entrance is on a raised pathway there is a fairly gentle slope that makes it easy to get to the shop. Not only is there seating inside but also outside, which we took advantage of as it was a nice sunny day. The Coffee and the service were both good and at no point did I feel pressured to vacate our table. I would certainly recommend over many of the large chain coffee shops locally

I called in here for a quick coffee on Tuesday and after,ordering my drink they said they had no change and could I pay by card and this was at 09:30 am. What happens when they get busy? , after my drink I asked about the toilets and was told the only ones they have are round in the garden centre which is not a mean feat if your were in a hurry.

Great to go to a coffee shop where they serve good quality to your table. No waiting at counter. Friendly efficient staff.

If you want a tasty coffee visit here. Staff are friendly and food is very good, seating can be a bit tight but expected at busy time .

Another pleasant visit here with my parents, easily accessible from the carpark.

Visited here today. I had a latte which was reasonable. A little bland. I prefer a coffee with depth of flavour.

Visited bricks today, not for the first time. Staff are friendly and actually bring your coffee over for you unlike other similar shops in the area, coffee is lovely and the place is kept nice and clean. Nice that you can sit outside in the sun and parking is free. Loos are in the garden centre but its not that much of a walk. I will visit again soon!

lovely to sit outside and relax with a coffee and cake. Even had a dog water bowl for my dog to get a drink from.

Stopped for coffee, cake, and a well earned rest. Glad i did. The staff are friendly, the coffee great, and the edible treats are just too tempting. I normally sit indoors, and enjoy the peace with a newspaper, but i chose to sit outside. The weather was gorgeous, and i had time to kill.its nice to sit and watch the world go by. I often pop in, when ive been shopping in the garden centre. The staff, are very friendly, and obliging, and nothing is too much trouble. The premises are always clean, tidy, and welcoming. 10/10.

I visit Bricks Coffee House a few times a year when I'm in the area visiting friends and family, and I always feel welcome and relaxed. The staff are always really friendly and the coffee and hot chocolates always taste great. I particularly love popping in at Christmas for a rest after present shopping - it's always decorated so nicely and feels so cosy!

My first ever visit, in the area & wanted to try it out rather than the nearby (also very) average Costas.

Very hot day enjoyed a nice latte and slice of cake, very clean premises spoiled by a defective air conditioning, very humid and sticky inside

Only go if you are desperate.also there is no loo Tried a cold coffee , called a frappe. It was bitter and full of ice. Not nice My husband said his coffee was ok. Had a custard tart that was tasteless .expensive

I go here on a regular basis to catch up with old work colleagues, it is cosy and relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.

I visited here recently and had coffee plus cake. Lovely coffee however the cake just tasted of nothing! It looked great and was so disappointed!

Make a point of visiting if you are at the Newnham Court garden centre (Notcutts) as this small coffee place is in the same complex and yet is separate and much more pleasant to take a break in.

Popped in at 10am for a quick catch-up with a friend. Plenty of parking and quick and friendly service. Nice to be able to sit in the coffee bar area away from the speakers so it was easy to talk.

I visited here with my husband on 01-02-16. We wanted coffee and a sandwich for lunch. My husband had a tuna & cucumber baguette, and mine was cheese & tomato. My baguette was wet, and was sitting on a plate of water, rendering it soggy and tasteless. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food, and even more disappointed with the price. Two plain Americano coffees and two baguettes were almost £13! Disappointed. Definitely won't be returning.

The coffee here is very very good. Same price as the large chains for a flat white and I would say better quality. When served I made more effort to converse than the girl who served me. No thank you when taking payment which I really don't like. However, she took my order and then did say she would bring it over which was a nice touch. Biggest downside is there is no Wi-Fi. Daily I pop in to a coffee house to have a drink and something to eat and answer emails. Being unable to do this will definitely stop me coming back here. With Costa over the road and free Wi-Fi on tap, and a loyalty card on offer. I shall go there. Shame, as Bricks has a lot of potential. Would have been 4 star with the Wi-Fi.
