Gerry's Coffee and Art House in Thanet

Needing to put its boast to the test, I was first surprised at the prices, then the range of treats on offer 😊 Flat white and a dark chocolate Tunnock’s Teacake. I cannot testify to other establishments in town, but this was the best coffee I have had in ages. If in the area, take the weight off your feet and rest awhile with a very tasty coffee.

I had the toasted tea cake with coffee and it was delicious. This was how I wish all Coffee Houses were like, it was highly pleasurable.

Don't miss this little gem tucked away in Albert Street. It is a lovely, comfortable, coffee shop which is friendly and welcoming and serves a delicious hot chocolate. I highly recommend a visit.

Just off the main street in a courtyard behind the shops we found this small café. The lady serving was very friendly and made two very good cups of hot chocolate at a very reasonable price, on this occasion we declined the cake, maybe next time.

What a nice welcome, a nice friendly place to enjoy a cup of tea,coffee and a snack,and chat nice and clean Disabled toilet making this my new watering hole

Gerry's feels like home. It has a fragrance of toast, and is snug, and cozy. The art is appealing, and the music plays at the perfect level. The coffee is a delight - as is the service - and the cake amazing.

We found this great little cafe by chance last week. It's situated in an interesting, quiet little courtyard complete with a rather unusual brick-built 3-piece suite. The cafe has a shelf of art-books to read while you relax in the very comfortable leather chairs. It seems to be a community hub for local people and we felt completely at home in the surroundings. Excellent coffee and tea. Will be calling there again.

The waiter was really rude. He got angry because we moved to another table as some people were talking too loudly. He cleaned the table while my friend was having coffee. He asked us to leave as soon as she finished her coffee. He seems to dislike foreigners in his café. I recommend going to other cafés in the same street.

This little cafe is tucked away in a courtyard, but it is worth seeking out. Welcoming, good coffee and reasonably priced. Nice place to stop off for a snack away from the hustle and bustle.

We had an amazing hot chocolate and mocha which were very good value especially with the free extras they offer with the drinks. The food looks amazing also and they owners seem very friendly. Will definitely return next time I come to Ramsgate. A little difficult to find but definitely worth it once there.

Overall they are a great cafe who serve amazing quality food. However the service I received was not up to standards. I felt uncomfortable with his service

We've been coming to Gerry's now, for at least 5 years, and have always enjoyed the time spent there. There's relaxing background music to accompany one of the best hot chocolate drinks I've ever tasted. Really friendly staff with the bonus of no one rushing you. Excellent quality of food, though it has to be said, it is limited, but there is a very reasonable variety of food, so please don't let that put you off. We would certainly recommend this place to anyone if asked where to eat at a reasonable price. Lots of 'regulars' so that in itself must say something. Hope this place stays for a Very Long Time to come, because it would be very hard to replace,

Despite living in Ramsgate for years this was the first time I'd visited Gerry's although I'd always thought it looked nice. There's art on the wall, it specialises in milkshakes and ice creams, and has a little toy area for kids. We went in after school on a quiet Monday with our children and ordered desserts and drinks. There were only another couple of tables full so not busy by any means. My son decided he wanted a drink so I gave him the money and sent him to the counter - just like he does everywhere else. Then my daughter decided she needed a cola so I did the same with her. They snapped at my son and told him to wait but happily served my daughter. When I realised what had happened I asked what the problem was and they said he wanted them to tell him what drinks they had - not really a big ask I would have thought in a cafe especially as he can't read. I gave him a hug and asked him what he'd like and he said he felt bad asking for a drink now so could he just have a water. Neither drink arrived and I had to go back up to the counter and ask, after which they reluctantly brought the cola and a glass. We waited again for my son's water which never surfaced so I had to go up with the empty glass and ask them to please fill it from the tap. My son is being assessed for ASD so I can only assume they just thought he was being difficult but we've not had any problems anywhere else and I sincerely hope this was not the case. What should have been a lovely treat for him turned into a situation where he felt different and unfairly treated. I would suggest a course in neuro diversity but to be honest Ramsgate is full of great, friendly cafes so we just won't be back.

Picking up Sunday paper and stopped for coffee asked for strong black and got it. Very nice and relaxing in an art environment.

A relaxed and peaceful coffee shop set away from the bustle of the town hidden behind other shops. Relaxing background music, local art on the walls. Food brought to table by relaxed and friendly staff. The prices are low but the food quality and drinks are excellent. I would hate this place to get too popular as it is such a lovely relaxing place - but I would hate it to close through lack of patronage as I would like to continue coming here for the foreseeable future.

We came across this coffee shop as we were exploring Ramsgate. It's hidden in a square away from the busy streets, having said that it was busy. It has outside seating which would be good in the summer.but no sun on the day we visited :( We enjoyed a light lunch and coffee in very pleasant surroundings. We will certainly we visiting again.

Very nice coffee house just hidden away off York Street in ramsgate, good coffee and cakes, well worth exploring

Totally underwhelming and disappointing . Took a friend in here for a cream tea. They didn't have any scones, but offered a strange alternative.

Lovely little coffee house. Nice and quite away from the busy town. Nice reasonable prices Clean Hidden Jem

Great find hidden away in a courtyard off a side street in Ramsgate and only 2 minutes from the sea. Excellent coffee, delicious cake, prompt and pleasant service. I shall definitely make this my coffee stop!

Popped in here for a cupper with my wife on our way to see the Christmas lights turned on, glad we did. This is a great little cafe, tucked away between Harbour Street and York Street. I think most people miss it. Will try the food in here next time. Well worth a visit.

I visited this coffee house with family. I enjoyed delicious cake and a lovely milkshake. This is a small but family-friendly place and I look forward to returning.

Gerry of Gerry's is the perfect host regardless of whether you are having a cup of tea or a full home-cooked lunch.

Limited menu, presumably due to limitations in facilities. However, everything is freshly made and always uncludes little touches and flourishes e.g grapes on the salad, fresh baked baguettes. The milk shakes at £3 are amazing.

This establishment is off the beaten track, tucked away in the old part of Ramsgate off York Street (near the Harbour Street end), but is well worth a visit. Great coffee and good selection of snacks, ice creams and cakes. There is always a warm welcome from Gerry and his wife. The premises are quirky, nice and clean, and there is access for wheelchairs. We enjoyed sitting at one of the tables outside. Good value prices for the quality of the food and beverages.

very laid back ,both gerry and his wife are loverly and food is all made from fresh and and the coffee is soo good not to mention the milkshakes and desserts, would reccomend to all my friends

They were very welcoming and there was a lovely atmosphere. Comfortable seating and good coffee. Very close to the harbour in a good location.

We went on a hunt for ice cream in the town, as we wanted some shade and a sit down.

De terrasstoelen werden nog buiten gezet en ze waren nog niet officieel geopend. We konden toch al plaatsnemen op het terras op deze heerlijk zonnige dag. Zeer vriendelijke mensen bereid tot een praatje en de latte is hier in ieder geval prima!

Everything was awful the owner done nothing but put the surrounding places down, moan and go on about politics. Never will I go back again the coffee and food isn't worth a mention. Disgusting

Great place, bright, clean, charming polite old fashioned warm service. Generous portions, great value, hospitality done well

My first visit. Friendly, almost familial. 80-year old Waitress....plenty of Art-work, and a big Courtyard for overflow. Coffee to each of our specifications. Best of all, Gerry has chosen the right type of Potato for baking : served to perfection.

My wife and I popped in here on New Year's Day. Gerry was friendly and welcoming. Nice hot chocolate. Lovely atmosphere. Jazz playing. Art on the walls, of course. Will be paying many more visits.

If anyone knows of a selection of better flavoured coffees I would be pleased to hear of them. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into selecting the product for the customer. Nice selection of snacks, ice creams and cakes too.

Our visit was the one and only time I will bother. It takes more effort than just a suing on the door to be a called a coffee shop

came across this place by accident but was pleasently surprised nice comfy seating ,very realxed place with old jazz playing in background lots of coffes and cakes and milkshakes are wonderful and very reasonable prices have been back a few times now

Visited this place for the first time today and what a delight the staff are so polite and welcoming there is a calming and most relaxing feel to this place and would definitely recommend it.

I visited Gerry's with my son and family for lunch. He couldn't do enough for us, for example, suggesting the two little girls shared a round of sandwiches as they were large. We returned later in the week for ice creams and coffee and he brought out "extras" for the girls. This is a little oasis away from the hurley burley of Ramsgate Harbour and seafront.

Popped into Gerry,s got a nice welcome for a small tea shop a nice varied menu,jackets,salads,sandwiches,cakes,things on toast.A little of the tourist track this was the old tourist office.Nice and clean,friendly customers,easy access for wheelchairs

Gerry is the most affable host, he really does make you feel at home, with his interesting conversation - which he doesn't push on you, but as you become a regular you want to talk with him - and the rustic soups and breads (my personal favourite on the menu)

Love going to Gerrys for coffee both Gerry and Ruth are always so friendly and welcoming and serve such lovely coffee

Zero customer service, rude staff. A real pity as its a nice location, and could be a great place but if you're not friends with the staff or owner, you may as well not go.

great place to have a coffee and cake and relax for a few hours, friendly staff and price anyone can afford

Popped in on a Saturday morning for coffee and a slice of cake. Have always wanted to give this café a try. It's in a lovely location in the old town. Cafe was not that busy, only four or five people. Unusual, quirky décor...........liked that as its different. Went in, sat down......didn't know if you waited to be served or had to go to counter. Man and woman serving. No welcome, hello, sit down & we'll come over etc etc. I ordered a coffee, which was more froth than liquid. I was starving so ordered a piece of coffee cake. WELL, when the cake arrived (five minutes after the coffee), it was so tiny...a mouse would still have been hungry. My partner had a warmed up scone and herbal tea, which was alright. I found the service slow and lacked friendliness and choice. It has good potential, and there were aspects which were good (clean, good location) however.......not the best....we wont go again. Sorry...........

Took 10 minutes to get a cup of coffee - and there was only one person in front of me. NOT dog friendly, or any other kind of friendly. Very loud man giving his opinion to all an sundry about local politics - not what you want when you want to relax. Cheap, but not of good quality and I prefer to remain silent about the art.

Found this unusual cafe in the old part of ramsgate, near the harbour. Good selection of homemade cakes and scones as well as teas and coffees etc. Very reasonable prices with friendless service. Seems to have an air about the place that the locals like. Seeing as I often walk into Ramsgate quite often I will be visiting again.

Had lunch with a friend for the first time in Gerry's today. It was a great experience. The food was lovely as was the coffee. For a real treat try the hot chocolate that's awesome! The atmosphere was great and the service very good. We will definitely be returning.

This cafe is tucked away off a side street, ideal for those days when it's a bit blustery on the front. The cafe serves a selection of breakfast goods including Gerry's porridge 'how you like it', available with a range of tasty additions. My partner had two soft boiled eggs with large soldiers, I had a baked potatoe with tuna, which came with a nice salad including walnuts. Plain and simple and good value for money. There is also a good selection of artwork to browse.

Gerry's is a very friendly coffee house, they have lots of different teas and coffees to choose from,

A haven for the idiosyncratic with many a conversation shared between tables. Great coffee but could do with a more adventurous menu to tempt more people in. Best pitstop in town.

We visited here shortly after it opened and were pleasantly surprised. It had a good atmosphere and was full of local art work. Gerry is very interesting to talk to and is very proud of Ramsgate.

Tucked in a courtyard out of the way, this place had it all - great coffee (seems a bit rare in Ramsgate), amazing cakes, terrific personal service and a great atmosphere - highly recommended
