Cafe Darcy in Thanet

Lovely well priced cafe in Margate. Food I cooked well and nice selection

The food here is stunning - the black pudding is the best I've ever eaten. It's now my go to place when wanting a fried breakfast in Thanet!

We was on our way home & decided to stop & have breakfast here…. Was very nice,will be visiting again when we return to Margate.

Found this very nice cafe by chance today 28/9/24, we had a lovely jacket 🥔 and a toastie, with two large mugs of tea, very reasonable priced, charming serving staff 😀

Great Bacon and tomato sandwich.

A lovely cafe with great food and exceptional service. Plenty of options and the food tastes freshly cooked.

Wonderful gem of a place. Great eggs benedict, colorful interior, and good coffee. One of the few places open before 10 on Sundays.

Visited 3 times in a 4-day stay locally. Café has been refurbished recently and looks really lovely. Outside area at back too. Staff very friendly, good value for money, best of all the food was delicious!

My poached eggs were hard some may like them so but not me having said that I will go again

Incredibly great food and service fir a very affordable price!

Amazing atmosphere, lovely service, very tasty food with sensible prices 10 out of 10

Fantastic place. Cannot recommend highly enough. The staff are so nice and there's a great atmosphere. Good vegan options and very reasonable prices

Toilets - steep steps - not great for people with walking difficulties like myself, but the food is 10/10

Nice breakfast but the cafe and toilet area need a really good clean. The downstairs to the toilet is filthy and the toilet itself isnt what a cafe should be like. Food cheap, service friendly but please get some cleaning materials.

We went this morning for breakfast. Very friendly welcomming staff. The food piping hot and very good value for what you get. Sadly though it is let down by its clenliness. Cobwebs in the window, filthy stairwell to the toilet. The toilet itself is in dire need of tlc and a good clean. The toilet basket was also full and considering we were there for 9.30ish it wasnt all from today. Whilst i agree with other reviews for the five star food reviews its just isnt there with its housekeeping.

Great little café, really good service, nice and relaxing and also the best full English in town potentially best I've ever had.

Visited with a friend on lunch break. Fast service, great food and pricing.

What a lovely little cafe. We came here for breakfast and it did not disappoint Great food. The staff were quick and attentive. The price was also a big plus, not overpriced like some places. Would definitely recommend and if in Margate will visit again. 5 stars.

Very busy but incredibly clean cafe, ordered Ham and apple chutney sandwich, fresh soft bread,the right amount of ham and very delicious chutney, Husband had small breakfast again it was perfect. It's a winner for us

Very nice staff. Nice quality bread & a freshly made sandwich.

We had family visit us so we decided to walk into Margate and have lunch in our usual cafe. We know the food here is well priced and good quality . The prices have increased recently but still good value for money. Staff are great and very welcoming

One of my favourite places to eat in Margate. The food is fresh and great quality, reasonably priced and the staff are all very friendly and accommodating!

Great breakfast this morning, can't fault it. Delicious.

Really nice little cafe. Good food and price.

We had the darcy breakfast amazing. Hot,plenty of it. And a very good price. Recommend it 👌

What a wonderful cafe: Great staff, great food and not at all expensive. Lunch was 'Liver and Bacon with mash, brockley, carrots and the best onion gravy I've ever had'. Will be coming here again and again.

Exceptional! Quality ingredients at reasonable prices. And, they offer a gluten free (GF) breakfast - fabulous.

Good old fashioned cafe. Good food, piping hot. Great service. Best breakfast out I've had in a very long time - will be my place to go in future visits to Margate!

Friday 15th December 2023 This cafe today was visited it is a 2 roomed cafe today it was clean and well run by staff that knew what they were doing this cafe served many breakfast dishes none expensive I got the D'Arcy costing 6 pound 75 with cost of coffee on top see picture on cafes site. I was very happy with the service ambience of place and the food I was served. Well done all involved

Top place. Loved the hot food that hit the spot today on a cold Wednesday. The Butcher's Sausage was cooked perfectly and the Cottage Pie also. Veg nice as they come. Easy 10 out of 10. Will use again no problem. Cheers.

Yes very friendly service nice and clean

Cafe Darcy is one of my happy places in Margate. The food is always very reasonable in price, cooked well and filling. The staff are welcoming and always happy to help and have a chat. Very well positioned to start your day with a nice cooked breakfast with a number of vegan and vegetarian options available. The photograph shows the pancakes, poached eggs and avocado with bubble and squeak on the side and the top plate of pancakes bacon and scrambled eggs with hash browns on the side. A particular highlight is the way Tracey decorates the place for Pride, Halloween and Christmas.

A good traditional cafe and sadly not many like this about now. Good food and service recommend to anyone.

We usually have a light lunch and found this place ideal. The fried “breakfast” looked delicious, but we went for the very reasonably priced jacket potatoes. How they manage to profit at that price - under £6 - when there was what must have been a tin of tuna is a mystery to us.

We arw on a short break here ans came here for breakfast. Good, friendly service and good food. Thanks.

Great Brilliant breakfast every time with great service and great prices. We will be back time and time again and we often bring out guests with us

We visited here today with family so they can see what this cafe has to offer. The family were firstly amazed at the vast choice of food on the menu . When the food came out they were taken back at the a,punt of the food on the dishes and the prices .

Great menu, staff and food .Will be back for some more bubble ,it was lush ! .

Food was very nice and a decent price , even brought the dog a bowl of water 👌

Lovely little Cafe, Excellent Coffee, Vegan Breakfast and Eggs Florentine. Hearty sustenance, lovely local people...perfect start to our day 😍

I have never been to this café before, but as a special treat we went out for breakfast for my birthday. I had the vegan option with a soya latte. It was delicious. My mum loved hers too. It's great value for money, good sized portions and it was served really quickly. We are looking forward to having another special treat out. Thank you Cafe Darcy.

On our daily walk into Margate we sometimes stop at Cafe Darcy for breakfast , brunch or lunch . Today it was lunch and I ordered Cheeseburger and my wife ordered tuna Sandwich and we shared a bowl of chips . The service was excellent as was the food . The only difference this time was the chef , the owner was on holiday and his brother stepped in . They both look alike as was the cooking . Staff great as always on the ball pleasant and polite .

Omg! Ordered a 3egg omelette with onions, mushroom and ham with salad and all I can say is DAAMMNNN… best omelette I have had in a very long time - cooked to perfection and tasty 😋 My partner had the darcy breakfast and his plate was cleared ASAP 😂😂 would definitely recommend if you are in Margate and it’s right by the beach too! Thanks you Darcy staff, pleasant and delicious brunch

Back again and still the best breakfast I know of in Thanet. Two of everything breakfast at £6.75 was quite tasty and big enough to fill me up. Add on a bottle of water, and a Hot Chocolate and the bill still came to less than £11. Service was as always fast and polite, quality good and comfy seating in the window tables was a pleasant way to watch the world go by.

We walk regularly into Margate and sometimes call into Cafe Darcy for brunch or a snack. Service is normally good and the food is excellent value for money. Today we only wanted something light so we both went for the cheese burger with trimmings ,

We often walk into Margate from home and we always past Darcys so try to call in. We use this cafe for breakfast or brunch normally. The meals are cooked fresh and the menu is varied from breakfast to lunch and winter warmers on a special board . The prices are very good and we always laugh when we hear Londoners down for the weekend amazed at how cheap the prices are . Staff offer a excellent service at all times .

We had milkshakes and some lunch. Friendly staff, food priced well, very surprised when we ordered our burgers. They came with side salad, coleslaw and onion rings. Excellent value for money and fresh food. Definitely recommend. The breakfast looked amazing too, again really good value for money. Thank you!

everything was off the charts ! I went for the biggest breakfast for a great price. The food was amazing and the staff were great

We had walked into Margate and on the way back passed this place so decided to pop in . We found a table and was told the waiting time for food was 15 minutes but know it’s worth the wait . We ordered our drinks and the food soon came . As you can see from the photo delicious and worth the money .

Fantastic service from beginning to end. Gluten free bread and sausages and brown sauce! Food was piping hot and young girl serving was a pleasure. Fantastic

This was a very last minute late lunch choice. Walked in to a friendly welcome and a good choice of food, especially with one vegetarian in our group. All had a filling lunch, much needed cooling drinks and a rest. The bill was very reasonable....

Stopped for lunch here - lovely food served quickly. Who doesn't need a cheesy chip butty? Worth a visit if you're in Margate.

10am visit for breakfast, and as is my want had their large Elephant Hill breakfast, which is simply huge and filling! Service was instant, no waiting, my order was amended slightly to ask for the beans in a separate bowl, done as requested, and arrived...

Love this place, friendly staff and extensive menu, food and service brilliant

Sunday morning just after 9am met up with a friend for breakfast. I had the Elephant Hill large breakfast at £8.25. Consisted of 2 Bacon, 2 Black Pudding, 2 Eggs, Large meaty sausage, mushrooms, grilled tomato and a large buttered toast. All ingredients were of...

I popped into Cafe Darcy a few months ago and it immediately became my go-to for lunch (and sometimes breakfast) They have an broad menu of all the classic go-tos for breakfast and lunch, an extensive selection of drinks and they cater for gluten-free and...

Lovely breakfast. Reasonably priced. Nice place, clean enough , apart from toilet not great but that is just me being fussy. Food was really good.

My husband and I visited today, Easter Monday and both thoroughly enjoyed the great selection of teas and food. We both ordered the breakfast which was scrummy and the service was also great. Thanks for a great start to our day, we would visit again...

Visited Easter Sunday for 2 takeaway breakfasts. Great value, big portions and very tasty breakfasts 100% recommend

We come here regularly and it's always great! The food is so tasty and made with fresh and quality ingredients which are always perfectly cooked. Very friendly staff and customer service is fantastic. If you haven't been here yet, I would highly recommend you get yourself down here!

We have had numerous breakfasts in this cafe so decided to try something different. I ordered a cheese burger that came with salad and dressing and my wife had a prawn sandwich with salad. I will let let the phot show how good it was...

Most lovely service and a perfect well managed staff. Nothing is impossible for them

Have come to cafe darcy before and it’s been passable… on the last occasion I was handed the kids menu for my 5 year old. When the waitress came to take my order I asked if the milk that comes with the kids meal could be exchanged for a different child’s drink and my child doesn’t drink milk. I was told it can’t be. I asked if I was expected to pay for a different child’s drink to which the reply was “yes” I said that I don’t find that fair in the slightest seeing as a cup of squash is cheaper than milk and just offering milk with the child’s meal doesn’t leave much of a choice. I said we’d leave it. If it was me id have tried to accommodate as much as I could. Then, after saying what my child would like I was told it wasn’t available. I chose something else, was told that wasn’t available. I asked what was available and there must have been one thing on the child’s menu available. Why wasn’t this told to us as we were seated and passed the child’s menu? I said that we’d rather go elsewhere and it’s a shame as we’ve visited the cafe a few times. Instead of the waitress being apologetic and trying to find alternatives so they received our custom she just stood there and laughed. As we walked out we were blanked by every member of staff. Cafe darcy is nothing but a wannabe glorified greasy spoon with awful customer service.

£8.25 got ,me a large breakfast and a bottle of water, good value for the area. 1 Sausage, 2 Bacon, 2 Slices of Black Pudding, Grilled Tomato, Beans, Mushrooms, 2Eggs and Thick cut toast. Quality was reasonable, the mushrooms however did appear to be from...

The food was cooked to perfection and the staff are lovely and friendly

The best eggs Benedict with bubble and squeak I've ever had! Super friendly staff and top notch food! Can't wait to return 🥰

My hairdresser recommended this cafe for a breakfast so we thought give it a try . Although it was 2:15 we went in and was able to order our breakfasts . Well when the food turned up we were amazed at the size and quality...

They offer a fantastic gluten free range of foods. My son is coeliac so it is perfect. They knew all about their food when i made enquiries. We would be definitely coming back again

Foods alright but didn't enjoy being told where I can and can't sit by staff.

Lovely cooked breakfast Clean Staff very pleasant

Lovely food Quant place lovely staff

Major let down after work colleagues were raving about it. FIRSTLY I ordered 2x bacon sandwiches. The bacon was cooked in reused oil so it was black on the surface and DRY! AS A BONE. Awful. SECONDLY. It come with hash browns. 2x for each sandwich so there were 4x hash browns that I NEVER ORDERED but mus have PAID FOR. So weird to PAY for something you did not order. THIRDLY. They need to take the FLAT WHITE off of The menu as they do not know how to make them. You can't just pretend to know. I basically received a FROTHY COFFEE. The only reason I'm not giving it a 1🌟 is I'm going to give it a second chance. If still bad I'll give it a 1🌟 if good then we will see.

Good service, squeezed our order in before they started to close up. Great hot chocolate!

One of the best breakfasts I have had, black pudding was lovely, everything else was cooked perfectly and well presented on a suitably large plate. It wasn't greasy and was very hot when it came out, I cleared the plate bar a few beans and a small bit of the chunky bread. Would 100% come here again. Update... 27/01/22 Again, absolutely brilliant breakfast 👌 Piping hot, perfectly cooked and super tasty. My new favourite place for a breakfast, The Darcy with extra mushrooms and extra black pudding. Yum 🤤

Great little café on the road to the beach. Clean, friendly, clearly popular with locals/regulars. Chilled atmosphere without music overdone. Temporarily working around the corner, will be back.

Lovely little place, gorgeous breakfast with all the trimmings and good quality products, great value too. Lots in the menu to choose from😋 Lovely friendly service from the staff as well, what more could you ask for I’ll be back ❤️

It is always a pleasure to come to café Darcy. Excellent food and service and good manners every time.

Really good value all day breakfast on Sunday lunchtime with good quality sausages and nice thick bacon. Really pleased to have found this place on a cold Sunday walk.

Cozy café, lovely staff and brilliant food! The perfect Sunday brunch.

Friendly, clean, lovely coffee! I shall return!

Cozy place, waffles, hot chocolate and ham toastie was very shmexy. Staff were nice and friendly, a great place to start your day of crime with.

Lovely staff, lovely cafe, would recommend to anyone visiting the area

Lovely place lovely staff x x x x

best breakfast in town, filled me up for the day

Delicious breakfast and great value

Used to be a really good traditional cafe selling tasty breakfasts and grills - known as Kallis. Now a poncey eaterie selling rip off price food and drinks! Quality fair but no real value. A venue for the geeks and the down from London brigade! Not for the hard pressed locals! Doubt if I'll be back!

Glamorous Surroundings, Glamorous Staff....service a tad relaxed. A good place to chillax.

What a great breakfast been here a couple of times so taste and quality ingredients.

Very good English cafe- good portions, well cooked, at a very reasonable price. Also swapped my sausages and bread for gluten free with no fuss or extra cost.

Lovely food ,and friendly service 😋

Me and my husband visited for breakfast, and as a pancake lover, I must say, the pancakes were a dream! Hot, fluffy and tasty! My husband had “The Darcy”, and was chuffed to bits with his “dippy” eggs. The coffees, were so smooth, and the...

I came in here yesterday with one of my support workers after having going for a walk, the coffee was lovely, friendly staff.

This is the second time my husband and I have been to Cafe Darcy. The food is always excellent quality and hot. The environment is clean and inviting, and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning for breakfast soon.

SimonJacksonForTheDr (0 review)Our first time visiting this place as we have only lived in Margs a couple of months, let's just say we will be coming back. We had the Eggs Benny and The Darcy Special and two coffees. We both left very satisfied. The Banger's were banging ! The eggs lovely and runny, and the hash browns and beans also lovely. I prefer streaky bacon over back but recognise that is my personal preference, it was perfectly tasty too. Coffee was nice , staff attentive but not over bearing and lovely comfy armchairs by the window allowing us to watch the world go by. Value for money was perfectly priced too. If you want proper ingredients then happy to pay a fair price for them . We Dded a couple of pounds tip for the meal , but is there a wayTo give the customer the option to add gratuity percentage when using the card machine as it is unknown whether the tip made it to the staff, I know there is additional charge for this but I feel your staff may feel more benefit if it prompts the customer to ask if they want to add gratuities at the point of sale as I never carry cash anymore.Thanks Guys! And keep up the good work .

The food here is absolutely lovely. Butchers sausages and doorstep toast. Super value for money and all super fresh. Thank you

Great service, lovely breakfast and such reasonable prices. Breakfast exceeded expectations and was freshly cooked and locally sourced. Small business supporting small businesses is what we love to see. Will definitely be back!

Had a take away jacket potato. Absolutely lovely! Friendly staff, quick service,and delicious. Will definitely go again x

£3,60 for one of the worst sausage sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was ok, but the sausage tasted like it had been cooked a month ago and reheated twice or three times. Never again

Good range of snacks at fair prices.

Excellent breakfast. Good choice and great value.
