Seaview Cafe in Canterbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely love this little gem of a cafe! Breakfast was really delicious, service was great, very friendly and efficient, cafe is very clean, prices are extremely competitive, and the sea views are obviously stunning! Highly recommended! I really wish I lived nearer, or I'd be back there very frequently!

Lovely place amazing views stopped here for breakfast on way home from spending few days in Kent dog friendly which suited us breakfast was amazing tasty and filling service was good and quick

Hello we love Seaview Cafe always a warm welcome 😁 best Cafe in Town Visited by all couples Families and plenty of people with their dogs .😁 I usually only post positive vibes In response to Claire who ever if I am eating my food I do not want any dog to sit at a table...it is actually NOT allowed due to hygiene standards. Perhaps easier if you had sat outside and enjoyed the Seaview Coast Line😊😊

Excellent cafe, food excellent both in quality and value, it has always been consistent every time we visit. Very friendly staff, and very dog friendly also, they made a real fuss of our three dogs. (A previous reviewer has marked them down for not allowing their dog on the furniture, it would never occur to us to allow ours on furniture when out in a cafe or pub!) Will definitely return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Previous review says not friendly? What a load of rubbish this cafe is totally dog friendly! The staff are very friendly always got time to say hello. The food is cooked fresh and prices are very reasonable. Been to the cafe on a few occasions and can honestly say if you want a hot reasonable priced meal with good service and dog friendly sea view cafe is the place.

Lovely views from the outside tables but windy if the weather is not favorable so we sat inside which can be a bit tight for seating.... breakfast was good and doorstep toast with a lot of margarine.. you cannot pay by card.. ( probably they have been ripped off at some time,) so good job we had cash to pay all in all 8 out of 10 :)

Brilliant cafe proper crispy chips and hunky bread, with an amazing view best cafe in Kent, traditional unfussy no pomp or sign of gentrification. Ok just the triple cooked chips! But that’s allowed. Love this place

We went along to this cafe this morning....we sat down in a cramped area of 5 tables .. the rest of the tables were outside.but being windy we opted for inside there were 2 woman preparing food in the kitchen and a guy wondering about picking up used customet plates after about 5 minutes we all thought mmmm no table service ?? So we went to the counter and ordered the food ... 3 minutes later the owner came in and took another couple's order who had just walked in !!!! ... she must have heard the coments our friend said about the service.... the food we ordered arrived .. .not a lot on the plate for the amount of ££££'s we spent there.. but it was ok and doorstep bread slices smothered in butter ....ok the service and the size of the meals only get 3 star ... which could have been a 4 or 5 if it had not for the small portions and poor service

Just had a lovely English breakfast, 10/10. Reasonably priced with a great view. Coffee and thick toast included.

Visited the last 2 Sundays and what lovely setting to eat a beautiful breakfast staff very helpful and hard working can't wait to return

We've known this cafe for years as family have lived ved here for a very long time and we visited often over many times. A trip with our dog bought us back here for lunch as so many places are expensive (albeit through no fault of their own) and we promised ourselves we would return to see if it is still as good value as it used to be. A beautiful bacon and egg sandwich (with rustic thickly sliced bread)and cheesy chips, 2 teas and all less than half price for one meal at other places. We're pleased that this little place survived covid and the latest cost of living crisis! No thrills but polite and helpful staff and fantastic views. Dog friendly is a bonus for our boy and all our 4 legged friends that walk along these shores. Long may you continue to serve Tankerton and see you again very soon 😊

What a lovely little cafe in a magical setting. The service was friendly and good. One of the few places that only take cash. Magic icecreams.

Ridiculous prices, went for ice cream and came to £9 would definitely recommend scoops for anyone looking for icecrem that isn’t over priced!!! They charged us £2.80 for a kids ice cream absolutely ridiculous would not recommend

This cafe is ideal for walkers, dog friendly and has helpful polite staff. It is not for those who read the fiction books set in Whitstable and expect the same experience as the overpriced establishments in town. The food is cooked to order and helpings are generous. The other diners are a slightly older crowd but friendly and there is a good atmosphere. In the summer it is a joy to sit out on the cliff top and look out to sea, you feel totally relaxed. The ice cream is really cold and is one of the best in the area. Even if you are on your own you will find a friendly welcome from staff and diners. I recommend the full English breakfast, prawn sandwiches and 99 icecream.

Regularly visit this cafe that we call the black and white cafe on Tankerton slopes! We travel here for breakfast and we would rather come here than anywhere else and if we do go anywhere else we say we wish we had gone to the black and white cafe! The breakfast is first class, ample, fresh, free range eggs, grilled bacon, no fat on the plate, they serve black pudding too! The set breakfasts come with a plate full of hot buttered toast, from freshly cut bread. If you order a sandwich here you best be hungry! The cafe has sweet little old ladies from nearby care homes having tea, lots of local people who come regularly, lots of people like us Who travel to come to the cafe, and on rainy daye any builders working nearby take refuge and have a hearty breakfast. Very friendly place and has lovely views over the sea and beach huts. And well behaved dogs are welcome too, couldn't get better? Yes! Its clean, spotless, and they also sell icecream.

Lovely café. Staff super nice and good fish and chips. Sat outside with great views of the sea. Will be back !

Fantastic. Ordered small breakfast that was cooked to perfection, on par with many top brand hotels. Well done and all for 6.80 absolute bargain.

From the moment we walk in a nice welcome from Anne, nice and clean, ordered breakfast and OMG absolutely beautiful thick cut toast great portions and nothing seems to be any trouble Highly recommended

On a warm sunny day this is an excellent place to have a breakfast, it is a shame that the coffees were not as good as the breakfast meal, unfortunately none in our group had tea so maybe that is better.

At first the breakfast seems a little pricey. We both decided to have the small breakfast. priced at £6.80. But we was very impressed. Excellent real uncut bread toasted. Extra toast delivered without us asking for it. Left there absolutely stuffed. Would definitely use again

We stop for food here whenever we are in the area on our way to the coast. The cafe is in a good location overlooking the sea and offers a small inside area and several tables and chairs outside for better weather. It is very...

Does what it says on the tin. Good food, good location, friendly staff and service what’s not to like? We ate here after doing park run. Tables very clean, food was cooked to order with good produce. Yes they only take cash but this was...

We had a fantastic full English breakfast overlooking the sea. We ordered from the window at the front of the building. Everything was nice and clean and the staff were friendly.

Came across the Seaview cafe by pot luck and thank goodness we did,we both had a lovely sandwich whilst enjoying the great views of the sea on a picture perfect day

Lovely people- amazing view The chips were divine, the burger bun was nice. I have to say the burger wasn’t very nice Probably avoid the burger and go for something that is deep fried. There were seats available and there is a toilet next door....

Lovely all day breakfast, fast service, friendly staff, dog friendly and a good view of the coast. Can’t ask for more.

We go to Seaview for breakfast before walking. Lovely staff, great food and reasonable prices. Busy little place so that says a lot. In 2020 we havd been lucky enough to go more often. Ond our favourite places for a breakfast.

Sadly didn’t even get to sample the food! Visited Tankerton beach on a very rainy day. On this part of the beach there is no other cafes or restaurants so after a very long walk, we happily headed up to this cafe to discover it...

I first wrote a review of this place a couple of years ago and it really wasn't good. However, we were out for a stroll over the weekend and as you are not exactly spoilt for choice along this stretch we decided to give it...

Several weeks ago had a great breakfast at this cafe. There were plenty of other customers. This week visited again at the same time and the business was closed! Web site states that the cafe now opens at midday.

Food is well below standard for the price paid. Building is really far to small to be able to cope with the demand.

Was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed with the service, quality of food nor the prices. The breakfast I had was more than enough to satisfy a healthy appetite. Definitely going back.

Only called for what we were told was coffee and given a hot mug of brownish liquid from a machine that tasted of nothing. In fairness we didn’t eat but the ‘coffee’ was possibly the worst I’ve been given anywhere

We pop along from broadstairs for a breakfast or dinner.all food is scrummy.as is the drinks.sometimes a bit cramped on seating as it’s a busy cafe.lovely views on a clear day to sheppey,Southend,or the old estuary forts. Today,Thursday we went along for dinner at 1.30....

A simple but very good seaside cafe. Recommend the bacon and egg sandwich. Scrummy. All freshly cooked. Enjoy sitting outside in the better weather.

Lovely food , staff are usually lovely as well but I went into the cafe to get a sandwich with my other half and children and I’m pretty sure it’s the owners daughter who was crying and loosing her temper at the chef and making a scene causing riffraff while my family and others were watching on. Very unprofessional and disgusting behaviour.

Location - Now this is one of the many highlights of this cafe, The location itself is beautiful and literally as the name implies you can get a wonderful sea view from inside and outside the cafe, should the weather be good or bad there is seating to suit the are and afterwards why not stroll along the beach? VERY IMPORTANT NOTE TO ADD IS THAT DOGS ARE WELCOME WHICH FOR US WAS NICE BUT FOR SOME MAY NOT SO PLEASE BE AWARE.Appearance - Lovely little cafe and when I say little I mean little. can seat maybe 20 people? overall makes the appearance seem cosey and is a beautifully decorated little gem by the seaside.Food - Now people may think that a fry up is a mere, well a fry up but I have to say out of all the surrounding areas the breakfasts are the best hands down, The sausages actually taste like they have meat in them and rather than chips they have roast potatoes which are great. Nice big portions and proper bread all go down a treat.Drink - What can I say about a cafe? they do lovely coffees and if you grab a cold drink like juice or a can of something it is always cold. no issues in this department what so ever.Service - Servers are lovely, most of the people who visit this cafe are regulars and the servers know everyone by name. The food is cooked fresh and is out in a prompt manner and is presented well. servers are always smiling.Value - The average price you would pay for a decent fry up. please note that if you want a fry up but are only willing to pay £5 for a big plate youll be given garbage if you want a decent one you pay the extra couple of pound.Would we come again - Silly questions, we come here whenever we plan to ruin our diet with a calorific full English. Its a lovely cafe and we will always come back.

Called in for lunch during a walk along the seashore to Herne Bay - we quite often avail ourselves of cups of tea [very strong no nonsense tea] to take to the beach but dont usually stop to eat. We had toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches, lovely thick granary bread stuffed with, obviously cheese and tomato. Unfortunately let down by the accompanying salad - the cucumber and cherry tomatoes were fine but the lettuce and salad leaves were old and tired, well past their sell by date - I virtually never leave food on my plate but even I couldnt get it down. A pity otherwise I would have awarded 4 stars.But as everyone says, great location - you can see across the Estuary to Southend on a clear day, with the WW2 forts and Wind turbines on the way.

Seaview Cafe cooks magisterial meals - I've only been there for breakfast but this mighty kitchen puts most others to shame. Quality produce covers the breakfast plate - large enough to surf on. Their sourcing of the brown bread is brilliant - tasty chunks soaked in butter. The outside dining area is one of the great places to eat - the quiet sea and comfort of the swimming huts. The only area where they might wish toi invest is their coffee - it passes muster and for most of their customers does fine. However put a really top notch machine in and you would be in foody heaven. The staff are the best. Priceless.;

A great location for this friendly (and dog-friendly) cafe. An old-fashioned menu of cooked breakfasts - with very good bread for the toast - and smiling staff. Decent value too. Can get busy.

Petit resto typique tant recherché pendant notre séjour avec une vue magnifique sur la merPersonnel super agréable et patient tout en sachant que nous sommes français Le breakfast est tout simplement délicieux et est servi copieusementTrès bon rapport qualité prix

Although we live locally we don't eat here much, only a few times over the last couple of years. This morning however, we dropped in for a quick bite of breakfast - the quality of bread, generosity (as well as quality) of bacon was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyable.... don't remember it being quite this nice previously. Lovely staff, nice to sit outside in the fresh air too. Great time... we'll try and be more regular in future :)

We always like to pop in here on a working day when we can. Quick service, nice breakfast and the best toast you’ll get in town!!!!

Stopped by chance on bank holiday Monday. Seating outside and inside. Had full breakfast- probably the best I've ever had out. Two slices of fresh toasted door step toast and big mug of tea or coffee. My partner had omelette and chips it was huge! Will definitely be back soon.

What a lovely place to get breakfast super friendly staff and very accommodating changes to the choices. The breakfast was fantastic we both had the medium one and found it wonderful tasty, hot, high quality items the toast was excellent as well.

Popped in for a quick sandwich after waiting ten minutes in queue that did not move left and went elsewhere. A pity as I was looking forward to the egg and bacon sandwich. Serving staff disorganised not helped that at a busy period two staff members were outside smoking.

After reading the last review I’m quite shocked as I was actually sat opposite the poster. The young waitress she is referring to was never once rude and the whole situation has be blown out of proportion. This is a busy cafe and very popular. Occasionally things can get forgotten that’s part and parcel of being human working in a busy kitchen. I found the service to be the complete opposite all the staff were happy and checked to make sure we were enjoying our meal. They were friendly and welcoming. But I suppose the difference is I wasn’t rude to the staff or condascending unlike they other diners. Yes the cook was having a cigarette break but I also witness the elder lady (who is old enough to know better) go over to the cook and threaten her something along the lines of look at my daughter like that again and watch. To be honest if I was the manager of the cafe they would not be the type of customers I was looking to entice. So to the staff at seaview I would think yourselves lucky that they have no intention of returning. I however will definitely be back and will also recommend. Keep up the good work. Just a shame people who are out for a free ride feel the need to try and cause a scene to avoid paying full price.

Went to this place with my family and Granddaughter. Cafe is situated in lovely location overlooking the beach/sea.

Generous portions, good ingredients, everything cooked to order. Try the Big Breakfast (served all day), you need a big appetite! Dog friendly. The only problem is getting in or even parking anywhere near on a sunny day (summer or winter) since both the Cafe and nearby Tankerton slopes are popular. Great sea views over the Thames Estuary while you wait!

café over looking the see at Whistable, we didn't manage to get a view, but had some home made cake and coffee, good value and pleasant atmosphere

Nice food fresh hot plentiful good ingredients. Staff are not friendly which is a shame as the food is excellent. Even though dogs allowed he wasn't welcomed. No dog bowl or little treats Visable.

fancy a pit stop on your walk along Tarkenton slopes - this is great cafe with lovely views, fabulous bread and latte, dog friendly and staff polite and helpful

Lovely full English breakfast 3 different sizes on offer cooked to order! Reasonably priced with great artisan bread. Very dog friendly

My 2 children and I had to wait for ages for any service despite the place being half empty and several members of staff not appearing to be doing anything. I noticed two of them were eating with their fingers whilst preparing meals for customers in the kitchen behind the counter. Some of the tables had not been cleared and the place looked generally dirty and uncared for with a strong smell of frying and wet dogs. The floor was wet and very dirty. Service, when I was eventually served, was poor, the 'waitress' was almost rude - no smile, no please or thank you and such poor spoken English, despite being English, that even my 6 year old commented on her poor grammar! It was difficult to find anything remotely healthy to eat. The food (traditional cooked breakfast) was hot and tasty when it came but not very well presented on the plate. The tea was stewed - very much 'builder's tea'. The prices were reasonable for this type of 'greasy spoon' food. The best thing about this cafe is the views over the sea and beach.

The Seaview Cafe might be small but the view is great. Very friendly staff and their grilled ham and cheese sandwiches are the best. Or try their cheesy fries, they are delicious. And you can even bring your dog!

Great value breakfasts with choice of sizes. I had a medium, 2 rashers, , mushrooms, beans 2 sausage, egg, 2 toast and tea for just over £7. Wife had scrambled eggs which she said had a bit too much milk and not that yellow. Proper sauces on table and help youself to jam, marmalade or marmite. Definitely a better place to get a breakfast in the area. It's dog friendly, so expect many doggies going woof as you eat.

Stopping for a few days in Tankerton and we popped in here twice in 2 days-so great fresh cooked home food-best Liver and Mash I have had for years and great mug of tea(cheers for the extra tea bag)

We visit this cafe 2 or 3 times a year - driving all the way from Hertford for their amazing breakfast followed by a walk along the front. We both felt that today's offering was not really worth the drive - the fried eggs had insipid yolks, the fried potatoes lacked any greasy yumminess, the bacon was bland and the lovely thick toast must have been shown the butter knife only briefly. It all tasted as though they have changed supplier to someone cheaper. Most cafes serve "proper coffee" as well these days and we've not minded in the past cos the food has been so good. Think this will have been our last visit. They were still busy which is good so perhaps it was just us?

I have visited this Cafe on a few occasions and have never been disappointed in what I have eaten. If you like a good old fashioned fry up then this is the place to visit for breakfast. They also cater for the more discerning taste if you would like something lighter.

We had a breakfast in this café and it is well worth it , a large plate full of a full English breakfast that sets you up for the day. Lovely friendly staff and dog friendly.

I had a spare five minutes from work and found sea view cafe, the staff were very polite and the food was excellent

I popped in here on Bank Holiday Monday to buy a frozen yoghurt for my dog. It was towards the end of the day and two staff were busy cashing up - too engrossed to notice me a couple of feet in front of them waiting to be served (I had located the freezer and helped myself to the item, which I placed on the counter by the till), No acknowledgement, not even a request for patience; the service, when it happened, was cursory. I probably wouldn't bother returning...

Had breakfast here with friends at the back end of July. Wow! Staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. It was a busy morning but the staff accommodated the five of us. I had The Big Seaview Breakfast. Didn't need to eat again until dinner time! Great views of the sea/beach.

The sea view does great food and has a beautiful view to complement it. The ladies are always welcoming and they make the best cuppa in Whitstable

After a walk along the front we decided to make a stop for a drink and bacon bap. The menu was vast with many well priced and great looking choices.

We have eaten breakfast here on a few occasions and it has always been excellent and consistent each time. Freshly cooked, plenty to eat, service brilliant, and to top it all dog friendly. The weather was great so we sat outside and the views of the sea make it a great location.

This is a gem - indeed I don't wish to advertise how brilliant it is. It could only be in England. The service and food are terrific - you could travel miles and never get anything like it. The place is small, is clean and run by the most amazing ladies. The breakfasts are to die for - top end ingredients cooked to poerfection. My only gripe is the coffee - they should invest in a new machine - at £2 a cup it is okay but superior coffee would be welcome.The toast is so good you want to dive into it - the eggs perfectly cooked as are the tomatoes. Brilliant, just brilliant.

If you are ever in the fabulous location of Whitstable, then this cosy cafe, with very friendly staff will go that extra mile to ensure you enjoy your meal. They serve excellent and tasty food - typical of cafe grub. The cafe also has stunning, panoramic views of Herne Bay and the beach - with space outside too, to soak up the sun.

We've visited the café a few times now at a variety of times. It's a lovely café near the front which a great range of food from standard tea and scones to Asian special curries ! The bacon sandwiches were great with lovely smoked bacon from the local butchers next door. There is a nice outdoor garden at the back which is nice for sunshine snacks too ! They guys running the café are all real nice folks !

We Always visit here for a friendly atmosphere and a fantastic breakfast with a good mug of tea. Food is cooked well and staff are attentive. We now pop in with friends and family and they all enjoy the food here. Also great views outside when eating on the slopes. This has been our favourite breakfast place for 16 years. Never disappointed x

Stopped here for an ice cream and a cup of tea.

You know how you mean to get something to eat but the time flits by, well it was one of those days. 1.30pm to be precise. Popped into this seafront café and ordered the small all day Breakfast. I would hate to think what the large one is or the medium. Served on a hot plate with buttered toast. Yum yum. Followed by a home made piece of Victoria Sponge and a coffee the latter being part of the breakfast deal. Lovely views across the North Sea- no Vikings today. Well worth a visit. Can be very busy.

Beautiful location of this cafe on the grassed area above the beach, so stunning coastal views. Was recommended to go here by someone walking along the seafront, which was a good call!

I visited with some of my residents. Fantastic home cooked food, the service was great and the staff are very friendly. Definitely coming again.

My friend and I stopped off at this little cafe with Bill the dog.

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the cake was really delicious. A really cosy nook to stop in if you are walking along the beach. However, I had a lot of difficulty manoeuvring even a single buggy around and I felt really awkward and apologetic just being there with two young children - a shame as it is a lovely spot.

Nice little cafe on the slopes at tankerton, food and service very good, nice to sit outside and watch the world go bye

food is well cooked & place is clean. Smallest breakfast starts at £6.50 & prob worth about £4. the downside is one of the women in there is like the female version of Foghorn Leghorn ( very loud ) , if you go take some ear defenders

Welcome retreat from blustery walk on Tankerton Slopes. Generous portions and good decent food. Very good value for money. Staff are very welcoming and would definitely go there again after a walk.

Excellent food all round from a nibble to a full blown monty good service all year round.Starve 24 hrs before a visit as you will be fed for a week .Well done to you all .

My parents and I took my youngest daughter here for lunch today and we were all in agreement that The Seaview Cafe was a brilliant choice. The food was delicious, good value and generous in portion size. I can’t wait to go back again!

A nice retreat from a walk on a bitterly cold winters day, Setting is rustic, but clean, staff are friendly and welcoming, food/drink was much better than expected. Will certainly use again

Being the Christmas hols I didn't feel like cooking breakfast every morning so we hopped in the car and travelled to one of our favourite places to eat. Disappointedly it was closed over the break, so we wracked our brains for another venue and hit upon the Seaview Café in Tankerton.

Took a drive along this coast and stopped off here for some brunch. A typical old fashioned seaside cafe overlooking the sea to Southend. The menus was fast with all food freshly cooked. We chose to have a bacon bap and a bacon sandwich on brown wholemeal bread, with a mug of tea and coffee. I must say the sandwich was excellent and the bread was thick and flavoursome, with plenty of bacon. Looking around all the food looked mouthwatering and wholesome. The staff were friendly and could not do enough for you and to cap it off it was great value. An enjoyable find and a delicious snack!! If you are passing through, I definitely recommend giving the Seaview a try.

A real favourite of mine. Classic basic food well cooked and fast service. Sausage bap is marvellous. Great views of the sea. Not amazing value but the venue is compensation.

What a great find in a lovely location. The full English breakfast is fab and was served piping hot. Just a shame there isn't more outside seating. Would definitely return.

The breakfasts here simply cannot be beaten, just make sure that you get some exercise afterwards to work this one off

The café is situated on Tankerton Slopes overlooking the sea. We had breakfast at an outside table with friends and their dog. It was very busy and there was a wait for the food, as it is all freshly cooked. It was excellent when it arrived and a reasonable price.

No food, visiting for just one night. Very disappointed, no food. Staff walked out we had to walk to another place to eat. Height of the season they need to get it sorted.

Qué mundo de maravilla este pequeño café es, un buen desayuno, que era abundante y un gran precio.

Guau. Lo que es un desayuno fabuloso. Tenía el vegetariano y estaba encantada con la cantidad de comida y el sabor. El pan era integral puerta con tostadas de mantequilla junto con una taza grande de café. Con las vistas al mar una experiencia increíble.

Situated on Tankerton Slopes over looking the sea this dog friendly cafe serves excellent all day breakfasts at a reasonable price. All freshly cooked you may not be served immediately but well worth the wait. Excellent home made cakes too.

On a positive note this cafe is brilliantly positioned with fabulous views. Its basic interior could do with a smarten up to make it less canteen like.We wanted a small veggie option and were shown a breakfast of 2 eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, saute potatoes, 2 slices of toasts, plus tea or coffee for £6.60. Very good value but too much food so we asked for a scaled down version just beans and mushroom on toast with tea and coffee. The waitress didn't seem to know the cost so we were surprised to be charged £14.40. Apparently this was based on mushroom/beans on toast with drinks added separately. The food itself was plentiful and perfectly nice albeit not that hot. The tea had a passing acquaintance with a tea bag and the coffee was really bad. Can't understand why they don't have a decent machine. But we really felt overcharged.

Can't beat the scrambled egg and salmon on toast with a wonderful view of the Sea. If you haven't been just go, sit, watch and eat a big portion of some lovely home cooked food ❤️️

2 coffees to go this morning; we took one sip and poured the rest out on the grass. So called coffee was out of a machine and tasted like weak Mellow Birds with a scoop of powdered cream in it. Yuk - £4 down the drain. Come on: it's not rocket science!

We found this place by chance but it exceeded our expectations. Liked it because it served homemade and tasty food. Liked it because:Mushroom soup - my 20-month-old son had that and absolutely loved it with some nice soft breadJacket potato- I had it with prawns and it was just how I liked with some lovely roasted skinBacon sandwich- husband had that and it was generously loaded with bacon. Nice bread too. Heard the people from the table next to our to pay compliments on their food which seemed to be English breakfast. Unfortunately it is a small space so only saw one high chair. It might not be great for several small children but if it's a nice day and you don't mind to feed them in their prams outside, you might just have some lovely food with reasonable price and a great view.

Called in with friends for lunch. We weren't looking for health dining, so had good range of brunch/hot and sandwich options.Nice staff; traditional cafe type service, which was fine.Good food; good value; happy to eat there again.

Housed within a stunning Edwardian (possibly) building, the Seaview Cafe is as good as you will find anywhere in England. Regularly frequented by locals, the standard of cafe food was fabulous. Sandwiches made on excellent bread were door stoppers - delicious to eat. The puds were terrific - nothing fancy but thoroughly tasty. The women behinbd the counter and in the kitchen were excellent - focused and friendly. Places like this need to be supported by locals, and in this case, they justifiably were.

Great place to visit at the end of an early morning walk by the sea with my family. Good simple food that everyone enjoyed, and good tea and coffee. Recommended

Whenever my family and invisit my mother who lives in Herne bay, we go to this cafe. You cannot fault the service or the food. It's all freshly cooked to order and always served with a smile. The staff are friendly and cannot help you enough. It's always busy and also allows dogs inside, and there are always walkers from surrounding area in here as well. Good home cooked food which is locally sourced,
