Jemima's Tea Room in Thanet

Popped in for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Staff were very polite and helpful. Worth having a look around as they sell a number of local goods.

Provided an afternoon tea for my wedding reception, and it was absolutely lovely, with many guests commenting on how nice the vegan sausage rolls were. Highly recommend a visit to the tearooms

A group of us visited today for afternoon tea. They were able to provide gluten free and vegetarian options. Staff were very pleasant & helpful. Food was lovely, good value! Would revisit!

The coffee is awful, weak and tasteless. Cakes sometimes old. Such a shame as the village could benefit from a good coffee shop.

Stumbled across when out cycling one weekend and was made very welcome. Friendly attentive staff and good quality fayre. The following weekend I was out with family on our motorcycles, their intended destination was closed, as we were only 10 minutes away, I said "I know where to go". We were made just as welcome and my party were equally impressed with the choice.

I've recently gone gluten free and have struggled to find anywhere that provides a decent gluten free menu if anything at all, thankfully I'm a regular at Jemima's and am really amazed that in places where I would usually only be offered a prepackaged brownie or a bowl of soup minus the bread roll, here I am offered a full menu that is gluten free and vegan friendly. I had the vegan glow bowl and was not disappointed.

Staff weren’t interested in us at all. Food was over cooked and bland. Alright for a lunch but nothing special and bit of a journey away for us. Asked for no tomato with my meal but it arrived with a tomato! Good thing I’m not allergic..

Had a panini, cake and coffee here and would recommend, all were delicious and well priced. Service was good, clothing, bags and accessories are interesting and nicely displayed. Fairly busy, many of the customers were obviously regular visitors and there was a lovely ambience about these tea rooms, will definitely revisit .

The tables and chairs are tired quite uncomfortable. The tables needed clean ing cutlery did not look clean. Food was nice but cake dry. Did not feel very welcome but they were busy. It is a shop as well as a tea room selling clothes etc. I was expecting a lot more and was dissapointed.

Lovely quaint tea room. Lovely cup of tea. Very nice friendly service. Nice day to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and people watch.

Fabulous quirky tea rooms selling coffee, delicious cakes, clothes and handbags. What's not to like!!

1st time here last year and what a surprise great service excellent food always a pleasure to go here for a treat

I eat here regularly and must say the doon bags and pork pies are the best in Kent. The coffee was the strongest brew I have had in years and reminded me of some of the weasal coffees in asia

Lovely cozy tea room. Buttered tea cake out of this world and a great cup of coffee Also sell a small collecting of knitwear and handbags. Brought a bargain bag in the sale for £14.00

I went for lunch and ordered a bacon, Brie and cranberry panini and it was lovely! The prices were also very good! I paid for lunch and it came to £13 for a vegan toastie, my panini, a cup of tea and a can. The clothes in their were beautiful too. The only let down was the soya milk hot chocolate.. I didn’t really taste the childcare but hey, apart from that it was a lovely experience! And I will be going back!

Stopped in for coffee and it was like an episode from The Twilight Zone. The four people already in there were enjoying their hot drinks so when I waited for over 10 minutes for my Americano with milk poured in despite my requesting on the side,it was all a bit strange. Everything happens very very slowly. No urgency. Just very very slowly. Hard to work out what the “shop” is all about. Littered just about all over the place are various “novelty items” you can buy- none of which really relate to the tea room and most of which you’d expect to find in a village bazaar. . My Luke warm coffee was finished quickly and I left wondering what had just happened.

My husband, son, daughter in law and I had a lovely lunch here. Delicious food and friendly staff. The craft items for sale were of a high quality. I bought a very pretty top. Going back again soon

Cosy little cafe With lovely staff . Family I think Very nice Food and very low prices Coffee ☕️ average Free wifi and we will def return Outside seating as well

This is a nice place to come. However, it's not really open early enough for breakfast. When I had one there recently, it took a long time to come, and was just warm when I got it.

My friends and I had a private baby shower here. It was perfect. The tea room is quaint and pretty. The menu of hot drinks varied and fairly priced. We had afternoon tea the sandwiches were delicious and the homemade cakes amazing. We had a lovely afternoon and our hostess was polite and attentive.

What a lovely little gem. Staff lovely food gorgeous. We ordered the ploughman’s platter to share which was really good. A couple of ladies asked if we were going to eat it all as it was so big. We did!!! Mum had a cupcake for pud and I had dairy free banana loaf which was moist and gorgeous. Will definitely be back. Next time it will be afternoon tea I think.

Excellent service. Staff/owners were extremely helpful ref making an effort for a friend's birthday tea.

Visited with friends had an assortment of good food. Pretty tea room, tables are a bit close together but it was not too busy when we went.

Arrived in Minster early for a doctors appointment and as Jemima's is at the end of the road we went in for a coffee. Made very welcome by staff and although we only had a Latte it was very well presented. Jemima's has recently been extended and has been very tastefully decorated. A great place for a coffee and cake break for locals and visitors alike.

Excellent friendly service in a charming village café. I visited with a group of friends and have enjoyed coffee and cakes - cakes being their speciality. If the conversation dries up and I'm sure it won't, you can always look out of the window onto village life - ongoing outside and always entertaining, come rain or shine! The café has a lovely secluded tea garden at the rear for those that like to take in the sunshine and fresh air.

We popped in for a pot of tea, a cappuccino and two toasted tea cakes. The staff were friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed our snack. It's a shame we don't live locally as we would definitely return.

Dropped by this tearoom by chance last weekend , we arrived at 4pm which is their normal closing time ,but the young lady serving invited us in and told us that they,re where,nt in a hurry to close . My partner had a creamed tea , whist I had a cheese scone with my tea . Both we agreed were homemade and lovely and fresh .

Had a shock when in a group this morning in that we witnessed cleaning of cobwebs with a broom to the ceiling of the tea room over the area that food and drinks were being prepared! Wow, not good. Shame because the two ladies serving were polite and friendly but the lady with the broom should have been advised not to do this whilst premises being used for food preparation during opening hours..........Basics!

lovely to sit for coffee, cake or for a light lunch. The shop has some lovely gifts to purchase without being too pricey either.

Tiny, quaint place with a friendly atmosphere.

Lovely place, nice friendly atmosphere. Regulars in there are so welcoming and friendly. The coffee and cake is so nice. In the summer there is a nice seating area. A real gem in Thanet!

Had a wonderful time with a very dear friend who I'd not seen for some time. We took afternoon tea; savouries, cakes, biscuits and the most delicous mince pies. Tea pot re filled lots of times. Everything tasted as if it was put together with care and pride. A joyous wee place. Thank you.

Friendly with great gluten free menu which is unusual for a tea shop. We go regularly and sit with our dog in their garden. Fab coffee too

Really cute small tea & gift shop. It's mini but cosy - nice atmosphere. I only stopped here as was awaiting a friend who was visiting family. I was delighted with the free wifi too which I didn't expect.

I visited with my 2 yr old son for a treat. He had a child's hot chocolate and we shared a scrummy slice of chocolate fudge cake. Now he wants to go in every time we pass the place.

A great place for the traditional afternoon tea. Really great choice of pastries along with a wide choice of beverages served in the traditional setting of the old English tea room

very nice coffee shop lovely cakes and service staff very pleasant and helpful nothing is too much trouble

Delightful cafe and rooms offering great choice of home made cakes. Tables in the garden at the back very handy in the warm weather. Staff go the extra mile with their welcome and good service.

This is a lovely cafe with a well looked after garden to sit and relax with friends and family whilst indulging on team and cake. The service was relaxed and friendly. I'll definitely it'll go back- the lemon meringue cake was delicious.

A lovely little cafe in the centre of Minster. Like going back in time. Pretty, flowery decor. Clean and tidy. Relaxing. Friendly staff. Good tea and cakes. An assortment of crafts, cards and decor items to look at and buy. Nice quiet place to relax with a cuppa and tasty snack.

Spent the day at Jemima's Locket today for a friends baby shower and it couldn't have been better! All the cakes, scones, macaroons and sandwiches were amazingly fresh and tasty. The tea and coffee was unlimited, and the price was excellent for what we received! I would recommend this tea room to anyone looking to have afternoon tea, you won't be disappointed :)

Cream tea was amazing and service was excellent well worth going to minster for there's even a vintage shop next door

Absolutely love Jemimas Locket. You can always find lovely bits for girlie presents or just to treat yourself. The tea shop is a delight from bacon sandwich to afternoon cream tea PLUS If you phone ahead you can make sure they have lots of gluten free yums. Staff are really friendly too. What's not to love?

I am lucky to live in the village and meet friends regularly in the tea rooms. The cakes are yummy - lemon meringue is my favourite, and when sunny the outside space at the back is lovely. I love sitting inside and looking at all the goodies for sale. The staff are also really friendly and the cafe is my 4 year olds trip of choice for our days off together!

Me and a friend decided to have a walk only to stumble upon a quaint little tea room. We received a warm welcome and were greeted by the smell of fresh coffee! I myself suffer from a gluten allergy so am usually stuck for choice, HOWEVER, I was delighted to see they served gluten free brownies. They were Devine! I would highly recommend and will be back soon to enjoy the sunshine in the lovely outside area.

Lovely looking place and was looking forward to a lovely coffee and cake. My Americano came in a large mug with milk added already! It was replaced with no fuss and did come back as an Americano should (black) but again in a large mug. It was a weak mug of hot brown liquid! I'd also ordered a piece of Victoria sponge to get a slice of very homemade, dry cake with no sight of any jam and covered in hundreds and thousands sprinkled on a sickly sweet icing. It was a real 'village' experience.

Lovely little tea rooms.. Delish coffee and cheeky bacon butty. Very comfortable and i felt relaxed being on my own.

This is a lovely café with good food at reasonable prices. There are also lots of lovely home made cakes for sale. There is a large selection of crafts items for sale, well worth a visit.

Visited here whilst living in Minster for a few days dog sitting. What a fabulous café...wonderful coffee, cakes and all sorts of food served. We had coffee and warmed cheese scones...they were to die for. Our littlie had banana milkshake which he loved, even dunking his cheese scone in it!!!! Within the café there is so much to see and purchase for wonderful gifts, lots made locally I think. The ladies were extremely caring and go out of their way to cater for your every need. They are in the high street and on a good day there is seating outside the back.

We visited here for a festive afternoon tea. We thought the food was delicious tasty and presented beautifully. The attention given to our table was perfect giving us time to chat but coming over when we needed refills to our teapots. Loved the atmosphere and there was so much to see as the tea room sells beautiful craft ware. So even if afternoon tea is not your thing it is well worth a visit for the craft ware. I would definitely recommend Jemimas Locket they even box up the goodies you are unable to eat!

Went for afternoon tea with my daughter in law and 2 granddaughters, I booked in advance and asked if we could have plain scones. Everything was perfect, thank you also for the girls cream tea, we all had a lovely time and would definitely go again. Excellent value for money as well!

Have lots of problem getting gluten free cakes for my colleagues at work. Called in on monday and left my number. The lady called me that afternoon, baked the most amazing cake and I picked it up the next morning. Fabulous service

A great little tearoom , cosy warm free internet as well, fresh cakes and sandwiches , very friendly and helpful staff. Recommend the Tea and Crumpets ,very tasty. Jemima's is also a little craft shops as well.

The moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm and friendly service and no long waits to get your order. Also have wonderful home made cakes and scones. Lemon Drizel is a must

Oh my days.. how excited was I when I was told not only did they have soya milk for my tea but that they also had cakes without dairy?! A really lovely lady served us and we enjoyed a lovely morning in sweet surroundings. I will definitely be back with all my friends. I look forward to snug winter mornings inside and enjoying the garden next summer. Thank you for a great little find. !

lovely food and little gifts can be bought at reasonable prices.very nicely decorated with tablecloths and napkins.

I have been to Jemima's Locket numerous times since moving to Minster this July. Today my boyfriend and I had afternoon tea and it was delightful. The staff are very polite and accommodating. It couldn't be a more pleasant place to enjoy tea and cake, or have a spot of lunch. Bright and joyful atmosphere but most importantly the tastiest home made food.

I don't know what the previous reviewer had on her agenda, but my wife and I had a lovely refreshing stop in this lovely teashop in this attractive small town. And Jemima's was an attractive and quirky little place in the nicest possible way, as we do so well in England. Jemima herself was welcoming and friendly, the 3 cakes we ate, home-made, were really delicious, and the mug of tea was just right. We shall refresh ourselves here again the next time we are in Minster.

Welcoming staff with a lovely interior and suntrap outside; unfortunately my friend and I were disappointed with the quality of the cake & drinks. The red velvet cake was dry, the cola was a cheap brand (and a very small glass) and my friend's iced coffee wasn't what you'd expect it was just ordinary coffee made with water and ice cubes. Shame, as the little suntrap was perfect place for chilling with a cuppa and slice of cake.

My cousin and I had lovely coffee and walnut and chocolate cake all home made with a very nice hot chocolate. We enjoyed browsing the items for sale and both left with multiple purchases. Including handmade cards, tea themed mats and yet more cake as a take out for family members. Well worth a visit just check opening times. Minster itself was quiet on the Easter Monday but looked a nice place for a wander.

Since writing my previous review. We were treated to a cream tea by two friends of ours. There is a choice of classic tea; savoury tea with cheese scones and a vegetarian tea for only £8. There is a wide range of sandwich fillings, and homemade cakes. Tea/coffee was unlimited and the tea served in a teapot! If you are looking for somewhere in area to bring a visiting friend or relative, Jemima's is the place.

Lovely little shop in the heart of Minster serving delicious food.... Especially the home made cakes!!!!!! :-) definitely worth a visit....

I love stopping off here - a family-run cafe and shop with a friendly welcome. I can have a pot of tea and a piece of Brenda's lovely home-made cake or a tasty panini while I write letters or read, catch-up with Brenda and Gemma or chat to other customers. The decor is colourful, vintage style, with items for sale for home and garden. I always feel better after a stop here. The hardest thing is choosing which cake to have.

We popped in on a Monday and found the lady working here to be very friendly towards us. We had some sandwiches made, on wholemeal bread and they were delicious. Good local ingredients for a fair price. Well worth a visit.

A little haven of pleasure in the village of Minster. We have been going here for a few months now (whilst the dog has his hair done a few doors down!) There are delicious sandwiches made with proper tasty bread, melting hot panini and proper home-made cakes. The tea is served in a pot..

I was in Minster visiting family with a friend and decided to give this lovely little coffee shop a go as I remember growing up as a child in the village where it had previously been a betting shop and a gents outfitters in years gone by.

A great place for a cup of coffee and a cake on a January cold winter's day. Warm and welcoming to a pair of cold and worn out bicyclists!

The only reason I have given no for the meal section, is that I have not had a meal in Jemima's so cannot give a rating for them. However, the cakes are delicious. Beside being a little shop selling all sorts of different and original items. Jemima's is a lovely little tea/coffee shop, serving cream teas, homemade cakes and light lunches. Highly recommended for meeting friends etc., The only place in Minster like it. A charming little 'old fashioned' tea shop in the middle of the village. (I use 'old fashioned' in the nicest sense of the word). Run by lovely Jemma with lots of help by mum. No loud music, wonderful. Highly recommended. My husband and I meet every week with a friend for a coffee break.

If visiting Minster this place is a must, nice menu of different teas and coffees, cakes and lots more plus its a nice gift shop and not to expensive.
