Cliffs in Thanet

Delicious breakfast, great music, wonderful team. Very reasonable work space and good WiFi and a fantastic hair salon where I always get me hair done at. A loyal customer for very good reason!!

So good the coffee and the vibe just like Rotterdam

The coffee has really improved under the newish owners as have the staff who are now really friendly and helpful.

Didn’t come to eat - I was slightly taken by surprise to walk into a bustling hipster cafe - but to gorge on the second-hand vinyl. An absolutely fantastic collection of mostly mainstream music on two floors. Blonde on Blonde £20, a rarely seen Nanci Griffith later release £20, another Dylan (Knocked Out Loaded) £9, Sting’s first solo album £5. The vinyl is provided by Ghost Papa, a record shop across the road. Next time I’ll make time for brunch/lunch too. A thrilling discovery.

The food is amazing. Lovely staff. Our regular spot. Great working space upstairs.

Visited this Hidden Gem of a restaurant while I was vinyl shopping in this Neighbourhood. It’s draws you in and has a wonderful energy that you seldom get in restaurant culture this place has it . Cool staff and very approachable I visited last month Friday 25th October I walked in and spoke with Emily who was working that evening. I was impressed with the decor so it had album covers and vinyl for sale so it was a no brainer. I made a reservation with Emily for 8pm as I wanted to explore the rest of Northdown Road . I came back on time I sensed this was one of the hotspots in Margate. I was given a nice spot not tucked in a corner . I ended up chatting to my right two Girlfriends who were on a catch up date I had a lovely evening there and my food choices were good . I could of eaten my dishes again. The chef was present also and was checking on feedback from his dishes which was nice to see. I didn’t go looking for this place it kind of found me so glad to have experienced it .

Very polite and welcoming food was great would definitely return and recommend

Incredible food, coffee and atmosphere

Excellent breakfast, lovely way to start a Saturday morning.

Smaller portion than expected for the Meaty breakfast. But tasted very nice

My grandaughter wanted me to take her out for lunch. She chose this as wanted vegetarian. The menu had very little choice. We both chose the hallumi wraps on the Special board. When they arrived, the wraps each had two rather small hallumi slices. A bit of red cabbage coleslaw with spinage and too much mayonnaise (which tasted like cheap mayo). For £8.95 each wrap, I thought this to be overpriced for what we had. The retro music and surroundings may appeal to some but not for me. I wouldn't go back. There are better places and places which offer better value for money.

Took my grandaughter who is mainly vegetarian. Not a lot of choices but we both choice Haloomi with honey in a wrap. Hers was plain. Mine with added redcabbage in mayo and a bit of sweet chilli. The haloomi was two small bits each. We also had a cup of hot chocolate and coffee latte. The bill was over £25.00 for so little. Starving so had mire to eat when we got home...A rip off for what we got! The place was not very tidy or impressive. Don't think I'll return! Sorry!

Lovely staff. Great brunch spot. Recommend

By far the best Vegetarian Breakfast in Thanet by miles, the Hash Brown's are to die for. Lovely Coffee as well, and they sell records which Is a very welcome bonus!

After traipsing around hungry we stumbled on this place and were delighted by our experience. Front of house was spot on, great comms with each other and faultless service. The food itself was delicious, not huge portions but great flavour combos and thoroughly enjoyed. It was on the higher end of pricing for breakfast, £40 for two of us to have breakfast and a tea each which is a bit more than I’d like to spend usually but it was good quality and I would definitely visit again!

Always in here as the atmosphere is amazing. Coffee is always perfect and the food is incredible. Not one bad coffee or meal and i’m in here almost once every two weeks or so. Never disappoints. Staff are all friendly and always helpful! Deffo check out the vinyls if you have time as you never know if they have one you’ve been looking for in there.

Went in for breakfast and had a vegan crumpet slider, which was great. Lots of vegan options. Really nice coffee too. Great service and a nice atmosphere.

Nice staff, cool interior. My coffee was bitter

Wonderful staff and absolutely delicious food. Absolute perfect eggs and hash browns. Friendly and helpful staff. Well worth the short walk from the main town.

Really cozy atmosphere and very welcoming people

We went there to get coffee for breakfast for our group and ended up buying croissants. They just looked too tempting. The shop is a great place to linger. It's so unique with all the vinyls and so.

This place is 10/10. Service = phenomenal. Super affordable and actually quite cheap for what you’re paying for. Atmosphere is homely with a separated area for working so that part of downstairs is more social. Great decor, great playlist. We both ordered the kimchi hash special. The really did the Korean influence justice (saying this as an East Asian person who has eaten too many minimal effort whitewashed token use of Asian ingredients in restaurants). Straight up delicious. They also take payment on order so it’s great if you need to rush off after. Breakfast and drink totalled to around £9 per person including an extra sausage added on for each of us

Lovely, chilled out spot for something to eat and drink. We had two Americano's, one bacon sarnie and a sausage sarnie. Great taste, highly recommend. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Music wasn't too loud, a good atmosphere. venue was accessible but not sure is the toilet was.

Really interesting menu and delicious food. Great vibe. We loved our visit.

Nice quick service very pleased

The service was very friendly and accommodating, as I’ve come to expect from Margate. The hashbrowns were particularly good.

Great food and nice atmosphere for brunch

Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Lovely coffee and a menu with lots of choice for vegetarians and vegans. The best vegan sausages we've ever had!

Phenomenal Breakfasts!!! Such great vibes, service and the food is outstanding. Can’t recommend enough. Don’t skip the hash browns either!

Food was amazing I had the crumpets slider and a cold beer!!

Love it. Sweet staff, chilled atmosphere, Great coffee, gluten free treats, fresh and tasty breakfast/brunch! Recommend the big breakfast plates and the crumpet sliders.

Dismissive service, awful coffee.

Amazing place. You should visit.

Great breakfast spot and the best coffee I’ve had in a while! Great service and vibes overall as well. Would definitely go here again, if only for the another coffee.

Great coffee, great breakfast, cool place. What more could you want.

We came here for a pop-up restaurant and the location was brilliant. Great space and ambience, the atmosphere was fab. Loved the music system. It was loud and basey enough to want to bop in your seat but quiet enough to be able to talk with your friends. The pop-up itself is incredible and such good value, I've been recommending it to everybody.

Great place for breakfast. The meaty is delicious and a big portion. Very fresh and so tasty!! The coffee is also great. Friendly and welcoming staff. The perfect place to bring a dog or sit and relax with a book. The downstairs is abit more crowded now that you can’t use upstairs but there is a nice sofa by the window.

Friendly staff here at this cool spot, grab a coffee (up to 3pm), browse through a pretty good selection of vinyl, prices are on point, so not necessarily any real bargains. They had a Grand Puba album on the wall, which was tempting.. There is a hair salon upstairs too, and lots more vinyl..

Awesome brunch spot that also happens to be a record shop and hairdressers. Food is incredible with its luxurious plates guaranteed to fill you up. There’s a coworking space too if you want a desk and coffee for the day.

Dog friendly, all day breakfast options, gluten/coeliac friendly. First stop on my trips to Margate, every time.

Coffee is great, lovely atmosphere and good team..)

Everything you could need from a cafe oh and it has the best hair salon upstairs and coolest vinyl.

Coffee was bitter. Staff could be friendlier

Came for brunch and couldn't fault our experience. Staff on top form, food was superb and the atmosphere warm and buzzy. Even our dog Leni enjoyed the snack and bowl of water she was given! Will definitely be back!

I went in there for a vinyl and the people are lovely, friendly and just a pleasure talking to. It's a quiet yet warm and cozy cafe that sell not only food and drink but vinyls and books. It's a nice cafe to go to for a nice look around or to have a nice snack. I overall recommend it.

Appalled I frequent this place 3 times a week Usually order 2 lattes @ £3.00 each £18 pwk I walked in, as usual he was too busy talking to his mates at the bar. I didn’t particularly want to wait at the counter, placed my order and sat down. He then shouted over my order to me. He was obviously grieved I hadn’t waited at the counter. Subsequently upon leaving Mr over Zealous decided to put 36pence on the cost of the coffee, when I enquired why, it was because he had to carry the coffee from the counter to the table. This know it all could do with a lesson in humility. The smugness of this guy is repugnant. Skinny dip suffered the same way. I did use a few expletives on my way out, I’m now officially banned. Oh dear oh dear. X

Cool cafe with workspace upstairs. Very friendly staff delivering good service. Excellent coffee and sandwiches. They have a good menu, and I will return to try more!

Delicious vegan breakfast! Lovely staff too.

Good coffee and service. Thanks 👍

Popped in here on a recommendation from our apartment host . It was as good as he said I was ! Super friendly staff lovely coffee and delicious food ☺️ you must 100% gooo !!

Absolutely love this place. Only discovered this gem a few weeks back but its quickly become a favourite of mine. I bring my dog here once a week for coffee and a bite to eat. The staff are wonderful and the decor is really nice. The food is delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

A unique venue: a cafe, vinyl shop and hairdressers. A hipsters paradise. Great a food and very helpful staff made this a memorable experience.

Best breakfast and coffee ive ever had, would give 10 stars if i could

First time my partner and I have been here, it was wonderful! The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the free bacon for my dog, she was so happy. I'd definitely recommend and we'll be coming here again!

Lovely, chilled out spot for something to eat and drink. We had two Americano's, one bacon sarnie and a sausage sarnie. Great taste, highly recommend. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Music wasn't too loud, a good atmosphere.

Lovely people.Great food.Only had two items but both were excellent.Poched eggs and a sausage sandwich.Seems inadequate to describe what I had as merely a sausage sandwich.Lived in Margate pretty much my whole life.I’ve seen in the last decade a surge for food excellence that may upset some of the one disappointed reviewer on here.Take the advise of the positives.So to recap. Great staff Super friendly And what a sausage!XX

Food/coffee excellent but be aware when paying by card, the staff like to add on their tip, personally i think it should be up to the customer to decide if they want to tip for the service they received

Miserable chap made us feel very unwelcome. As the saying goes - man/woman without smile shouldn’t have shop!

Shame it hasn't got decent.coffee.

Welcoming café with a great atmosphere and a stellar smoked salmon breakfast. Dog friendly, too can be a problem in Margate.

Great atmosphere. You can also go upstairs and use your computer for a small cost.

Loved this cafe! We stopped by on a late Sunday morning, it was super busy but the staff were so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. They squeezed us in after a short wait. The food was delicious if you want a good breakfast, and there were a nice variety of choices (especially for veg/vegan). The coffee was so good! Seemed like a really great team of people that enjoyed working there together and an inclusive community. I can’t wait to go back when I’m next in Margate. Extra thanks to the barista for the album recommendations 👍🏻

Came in for a birthday breakfast for my daughter. I was not disappointed. Great vegan selection.

A very quirky and unusual place. Great customer service and at really good prices. Not your normal, run of the mill cafe, but something different. Really enjoyed the visit and can't wait to go back again. No loud music, just the sounds of laughter, chat and the coffee being freshly made. Perfect.

It's good, provided you like to eat a lot of sourdough. The choice of music was challenging.

This is a great little coffe shop if you like vinyl! Coffee is lovely. Unfortunately the breakfast was really cold. Shame as it looked amazing! You can even listen to the record before you buy!!

Great venue, lovely food, but no prizes for urgency! Breakfast arrived 25 minutes after we’d finished our (very small) cappuccino’s. No one on the front counter paying attention, clearly no connection between front of house & kitchen. A coffee refill while waiting the chased-up food would have been appreciated.

CRACKING breakfast (rebaked beans are a touch), and an excellent record selection. Really enjoyed.

Cool retro vibed coffee and record shop, with friendly staff and lovely food. Gets busy but has lots of seating, both up and downstairs.

Bacon sandwich looked really good when it came but it was very dry and wasn't offered any sauces tried my uncles one with the balsamic glaze and spinach and the flavours just didn't fit well.

Friendly hipster café, serving snacks and beverages. Worth a visit.

I love visiting Cliffs for their amazing breakfasts! The atmosphere is really relaxed inside and the staff are always really friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! The falafel breakfast was SO good!

Lovely food that’s healthy and tasty! Very nice aesthetic atmosphere to have a coffee and some food with friends or family. However, when I did go u felt like it was a-bit tense as some staff were snappy but may have been because they were in a rush but yea. Also the upstairs sofa furniture wasn’t the most comfortable seat but besides that all the times I’ve been it’s s great place to go especially when studying or revising

I’m a regular at Stirling Hair Salon upstairs and love the whole vibe of Cliffs. Excellent coffee, lovely and efficient team, great inclusive and friendly atmosphere. Wonderful ❤️

Awesome slightly alternative twists on breakfasts and brunch. Great coffees and such an airy shabby chic place.

Pet friendly, arty clientelle music orientated with a posh grub menu, notnthe cheapest place but they let in your dog which is great!!

What a gem of a place! Popped in after seeing a recommendation on social media. This place did not disappoint. Querky establishment with outstanding food, full of flavour and something different from the standard Margate breakfast menu. Friendly staff, a cute dog and they really have thought of everything, with a corner of kids toys so the adults can chat away with little distraction. Free WiFi too! A huge central staircase to open up yet more seating and I was pleasantly surprised to see a hairdressers tucked away upstairs but it was busy and welcoming and actually I didn't notice any extra noise from hairdryers etc. It was dissipated by the tall open ceilings and expance of windows and space. A true delight in Cliftonville, Margate

Only came here for a coffee but it was pretty decent. Good selection of records on sale and for pretty good prices too

Great food staff and local recommendations from the drummer dude. ❤️ we will be back soon. Need to check out the records.

Wonderful place to stay and eat. Good food, great people. Definitely going to visit again.

Beautiful place and amazing food. Love the staff, super friendly and helpful.

Amazing! Recommend to anyone. Best breakfast/service/atmosphere! Great selection of vinyls and coffee!

Amazing vibe, great service, epic food (the grilled cheese sandwich leaves you speechless) and the music is wonderful. A true gem of a place!

Great food, lovely staff but 11am on a Sunday has many kids , it ain't quite

Weekends are busy and it can take up to 50-60minutes to get your order...

I visited this café on Wednesday morning (23rd August) with a friend and had a brilliant visit. Served by two guys who were so welcoming, one made us a delicious iced coffee using agave syrup (new to us!) which was probably the best I’ve had. Food was so good too! Lovely to find a cafe in Margate with healthy options and a great atmosphere.

I go to this cafe every time I visit Margate! The coffee is delicious, and the meaty breakfast is divine. I really loved their eggs and the addition of pickled onions. They're really great with dogs too, and the fact I can add to my record collection over breakfast is a definite plus.

Tasty food and great coffee in a relaxed, no stress environment. Highly recommend

Wanted a quick coffee but turned away, here 50 mins before close but turned away, as a vinyl collector this place was meant to be a bonus, paid for parking g aswell.

Lovely space, nice food, and second-hand records upstairs.

Very loud which ironically is difficult for me with partial hearing

The food was good and the house dog was super cute! Good spot for a date!

What a gem! Great yoghurt and granola with lovely cup of tea. The music is making my day better, the place is filled with vinyls, cd's and cassettes. Staff is very kind, quick service. What a joy to visit!🎧

High quality coffee in a relaxed environment

What a gem - and amazing people!

Food was excellent, the service was a bit laid back and an oversight meant that 2 drinks were missed and had to be chased up. Not the end of the world. Clearly popular. Hope the place continues to do well because the food and drink are very good

One of the best brunch spots in Margate!

Very slow waited 40 minutes for mumbled eggs on toast

Lovely brunch menu. Staff were friendly and helped with a little issue with no trouble.
