Sunshine Coffee & Restaurant in Shepway

Very good meal and excellent, friendly service. Thank you. Nothing was too much trouble for our charming waitress and all was good.

A friend and I booked a table for dinner. The food was lovely (although overpriced for chicken and rice £20:95). The service was good until the end when we were rushed to pay. They brought the bill without asking if we wasted coffee and then came straight back with the card machine asking if we wanted to pay half and half even though we hadn’t even looked at the bill or said smithing. Then another 2 waitresses came over again asking for payment. It was fairly busy but tables around us free so they didn’t need our table immediately.. Not a nice end to a pleasant evening.

Good food, good choice on the menu and quickly served. Great staff who go to great lengths to make you feel valued. Highly recommended

Fantastic cooked breakfast with fried bread and great coffee. Warm and welcoming cafe & staff would highly recommend.

We took our grandsons after a day out for an early supper. When we arrived we walked through into the restaurant area and stood and waited for a few minutes while the waitress totally ignored us and carried on a long conversation with a table who had finished. Finally she came over and said we could sit anywhere and went back over to table to continue her conversation. I then located the menus as the boys were hungry. When we eventually ordered the food with very little assistance it came and was fine but the service was so bad and unprofessional I doubt we will go back.

Never been here before but will definitely come again.. absolutely amazing food.. and so much.. such good value.. liver and onions and mushroom and cheese omelette 1st class..

I just wanted to say that the new management are so lovely and friendly. We popped in for some lunch today totally unaware that it had changed hands. But, the staff were so nice and the food was amazing! Portion sizes are fantastic and taste amazing. Service was quick and place was spotlessly clean too. If you were put off by the previous owners and thier increasing prices and decreasing portions then you will be pleasantly surprised. Give it go. Good luck with your new venture, we wish you all the best and will deffo be popping back in..

If you want good food that’s kind to your wallet, I’d look somewhere else! Foods alright but not worth the price they charge for! Watch out as every time I’ve gone they’ve overcharged and tried to con me any way they can, charging for extra milk and and additional £1.50 for a seemingly straight swap of cheese from bacon - £7.70 for some salad and a sprinkling of cheese on thin shop-bought brown is daylight robbery!

Popped in for something to eat and drink, very busy seemed to be short staffed as couldn't keep up with demand of people coming in especially when the heavens opened. No soft drinks available which was a bit disappointing though hot drinks were nice and well presented. Food ok though had to ask for cutlery as what we ordered couldn't use our fingers.

Lovely fresh food clean and friendly atmosphere lovely staff ! Child friendly great choice of kids meals and lovely milkshakes !

One of the few cafes in Hythe that are modern and comfortable. Soft dinner style seats and nice interior design. Food is on the expensive side, but the chocolate bar milkshakes are a specially yummy treat!

Coffee was good and staff attentive. Food was nothing special however the eggs benedict seemed a popular choice as I was leaving. I had a full English but for the first time in all of my regular visits to cafe throughout the country this does not come with toast or bread and butter. My understanding of full is apparently incorrect. Toilets were clean as was the restaurant. Our table did have a film on it from the cleaning products but was essentially clean.

Very good food! Chips were gorgeous! I also had the eggs Benedict which was great and the milkshakes got a thumbs up from my 2 children, my mum and myself. Waiting staff are lovely and attentive would definitely go back

We had veggie cooked breakfast and pancakes. Both were excellent. Crisp hash browns and the pancakes had plenty of maple syrup. I look forward to going back again.

The waitresses are always friendly and helpful, coffee are lovely and the food Is always delicious and cooked perfectly. We had sausage and egg muffins with chips (which are never greasy). A great place to stop for a bite to eat , always popular and I know why.

Service outstanding, food quality excellent, ambiance brilliant. Overall a superb experience which I will look forward to repeating

Avoid. A full English breakfast doesn’t even include toast!!! My daughters veggie breakfast was charged at £12 with one sausage. A glass of orange juice, a mouthful literally with the ice is £3.40!! London do not even charge these prices. They do not allow you to swap items, not told this at the time but charged for extras when not extras!

Had breakfast here both mornings on a two night stay in Hythe. Great breakfast menu with a good choice. Excellent coffee. Lovely friendly and hard-working staff. Cafe seating is comfy velour benches and the atmosphere has a nice vibe. Several cafés in Hythe High Street, but this felt the most welcoming, and we weren't disappointed. Highly recommended.

Great lunch here today, comfortable venue, great food and staff. We will certainly use again. Not sure how we have not found it before 🤔

Really enjoyed a wonderful meal here with the family today. Very good prices and wine was lovely, Chilean Merlot.

Well I wasn’t expecting that! Great service, fantastic food, lovely setting and we felt so comfortable in the sunshine cafe. We’re definitely coming back here and soon.thank you

The whole place has been redecorated and now is not as appealing to children and families. The prices have increased significantly. The decoration is very good, very plush. Not as enjoyable as before, shame.

Went for lunch and was overcharged. Meal was £7.90 and got charged £8.30. Won’t go there again. Was over priced before. Didn’t look very appetising and love looked like it was chucked on the plate. Never again.

Have visited this now Bistro before, but this time we were a little disappointed. Two ordered one of their toasties for a quick lunch stop, but when served it was just the toastie, no cutlery, no serviettes so had to call for service. Normally when...

Excellent mid-week 3 course meal deals. Giving the opportunity to try new dishes at a keen price. Staff are welcoming, polite, smartly dressed and groomed, giving a good service.

We have been coming to the Sunshine Cafe in Hythe for a few years now, however on our latest visit, we found the prices had gone way over priced, even in the current living crisis. They seemed to have refurbished the place, and although very...

We visited on Monday 18th July for breakfast. It was lovely. Very fresh, plenty of food and the staff are superb.

Lovely food with great portions. Amazing coffee and lovely service from Olivia. 👍 Would highly recommend and really good value. 💖

I visited the cafe on Friday for some lunch with my sister. The service was very good and the staff were so lovely. The food is freshly cooked and very tasty. I cannot praise them enough but please can you give us bigger sausages lol....

Sunshine Restaurant Hythe Kent, served a very tasty meal, their menu is vast, and cooked fresh, went in as it was Father’s Day enjoyed it, smart seating and decor.

I decided to stop here as it was early and my transport wasn’t available until 8.30 and it was only 7.30 Well I had poached egg on toast and a cup of tea. We’ll all I can say is that it was the best poached...

I flipping love this café! I’m a fan of simple grub and they deliver consistently lovely food - my favourites being the 1/4 pounder with cheese and breakfast. The prices rival the big fast food chains and you get a better meal both nutritionally and...

Nice clean cafe with pleasant staff and brilliant food. Prices are ok and situated in the high street with nice wide spaces between the tables so pushchairs can access with no problem. We will visit again soon 👍👍👍

Lovely food great choice on the menu for two adults and three teenagers. Good sized portions and nice drinks. Service was great worth a visit

Thank you so much for making our afternoon so special. Really nice atmosphere, super friendly staff, beautiful food. Thank you for spoiling my husband on his birthday! Will revisit definitely.

Me and my husband came in early Monday morning and was served by Karla. Me and my husband both had a coffee and a breakfast. Both was really nice. The place was really clean and the service was great. Will definitely be coming back!

We visited on 5th July. Ordered tea and a breakfast each. Were served very quickly by a cheery young lady. The food was lovely, a nice clean meal, which set us up for the day. Will certainly visit again.

This is one of our regular haunts because the food is great and good value for money. The chicken creole now comes with bulgur wheat but, as you can see from the photos, they are happy to swap for chips. This is a great meal...

Come here yesterday for a lunch for 2, ordered a cheese and ham toastie and a bacon and sausage sandwich with a latte and a large tea all come to a reasonable £13, the food was hot and tasted lovely and didnt wait for ages...

Had great lunch here with my wife, lovely food and coffee, tables all clean and attentive staff. Would eat here again and I definitely recommend.

Popped in for a lite bite lunch whilst in town. Very good toasties and a choice of bread, Lovely beverages and all current Covid restrictions observed. Good all round experience

probably the worst BLT i have ever had, staff were great but the pricey food was awful,lettice was brown , bacon under cooked and the cheapest white bread that money can buy avoid avoid avoid

Covid safe with sanitizer and safe distancing of tables. Food is always good when we’ve been here . Friendly helpful staff so would recommend coming here and feeling safe . Keep up the good work and thanks chef .

I enjoyed eating here. The food was nice, value for money and the staff were friendly. There were a variety of things on the menu including some healthy options and I would definitely return to try their milkshakes (you can customize your own from your...

Popped in for couple sandwiches cups tea. Service great .resturant lovely and clean,tables spaced out. Had sausage egg sandwich perfect 2 sausages And I had egg bacon sandwich only disappointment it only had1 small slice of bacon Love my bacon !!

Good value, friendly, good service, worth a visit. Regular cafe food, nice milkshakes and good coffee.

The meal was delicious 😋. Mixed doner, chicken shish and an amazing Greek salad - it was huge. The presentation was almost as good as in the restaurant! Ordered through Just Eat and it arrived 15 mins early. Excellent service in these circumstances.

Staff friendly, polite and efficient. Varied menu with food to a high standard and generous portions. Prompt service with 'a smile'. Premises spotlessly clean. Good value for money.

We had the three course set lunch menu, available Monday to Saturday. Great selection of dishes for each course, both hot and cold starters and a choice of sides with the mains.

Went with my friend to the Sunshine Cafe for the set menu at lunchtime. The food is delicious especially the homemade hummus. They also make cocktails which are so good. Highly recommend.

My sister and I popped here last week for lunch on our visit to Hythe, service was fairly quick for a very busy cafe, we had chilli con carne which was delicious followed by choc cake and cream. Whilst it is too busy and tables too close for our liking, it was still a very enjoyable experience and we will come back again.

Came in today, lovely food and lovely service, Definitely recommend and I will definitely be returning!

Had a swift lunch, no overly generous helpings to say the least and not best value for money either. A Latte coffee took ages to arrive and milk shake was served in a jam jar.

I have been coming to sunshine cafe for a while now. And I have always loved the food and the coffee very much. However. Of late this place has really lost its touch and respect for the customer and just no customer service. Now I have worked in customer service for about 5 years now. And I’am a barista myself. So for me I notice these things as a customer myself. The coffee it self has always been amazing. However currently it’s not. No effort at all is being put into making coffee right and it’s not consistent anymore. Also. The staff have no customer service what so ever and are rude and abrupt to the customers. The tall young lady with the blonde hair that was working on the day I came in was especially bad with the way she was carrying herself. Served other customers before us. Then when approached she had a really bad attitude. It’s a shame because this place has always had standards and morals and always feel welcome. But if late. It’s downhill and something needs to happen mainly with the staff. Years of experience has made me know how to be respectful and have great customer service. And sunshine cafe is lacking in that currently. I think staff need to be trained right so they know how to work in this industry

This cafe is my first choice if I want a quick lunch or early evening meal in Hythe. The good range of all day breakfasts will satisfie everyone. The lunch menu is also diverse enough to suit all the family.I have always had a warm welcome and attentive service. If you need something simply press the table pager.I like the ice cream milkshakes and large cups of tea, you can also have a glass of wine or cold beer.One thing that stands out is the cleanliness. The kitchen is compleetly on display so no place to hide and the toilets are spotless too.Even the menus are clean, something that is often overlooked, so why are they dog eared? We asked and were told it was kids, but that was a poor excuse. I have to raise this point because I state it as a pet hate in my bio. See my photos if you thing I am being pedantic.

Staff are all super friendly and food was fantastic! Would highly recommend 👌🏼 My new lunch spot :)

I had the nicest cheese omelette I had ever tasted with lovely chips and salad. My husband really enjoyed his plaice and chips.The lads who cooked the meals were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely look forward to our next meal at Sunshine cafe.

Nestled in the dwindling high street of Hythe lies the Sunshine Coffee and Restuarant. Very busy, but this should be expected for a Saturday. Massive delay between the drink and getting the food. Small portions and overpriced. Drinks are not included in the kids meals. Reasonably tidy. Only redeeming feature was the great coffee and that it is newly decorated. Will not visit again.

I have been going to Sunshine Cafe every Wednesday during the summer for lunch and I cannot praise the food or the staff highly enough. Food is always great, The Late Breakfast is my favourite. Special thanks to the Manager and Karla the waitress. Keep it up and see you again soon

Food was great. Service was great, atmosphere was great, prices were great. Highly Recommend. Its all great.

The staff were friendly , polite and very efficient , the food was of a high standard and reasonably priced , ideal place for a snack or meal .

In the middle of a heatwave this place serves the best iced coffee ever. A huge tankard of ice and coffee mush--absolutely brilliant.

Service with a smile and really good food too. Had a bacon and egg muffin and it was amazing. Perfect stop when your cycling the Coast.

Went here for lunch on arrival in Hythe for the weekend. We're given plenty of time to decide what to eat, and then had to press a button on the table to let the waitress know we were ready. I thought this was a very good idea. Didn't wait very long, (about 8 minutes) before the food came. Very clean looking meal, well cooked and very tasty. Decent cup of tea too. Staff very efficient, and friendly. Place clean and tidy, not too noisy. Toilets good too.

great place to eat Turkish food very good service and friendly staff enjoyed our starters and main course top class

We really enjoyed the fast service and friendly staff. The food was great and well priced. We will be back for sure. Like

Went for breakfast with my daughters lovely clean and tidy cafe and lovely staff very good value for money

We stumbled across this cafe and so glad we did! Staff were good, food was extremely reasonable and tasted good! Would definitely return here!

Myself and my partner visited on a Sunday morning during our trip to Kent. The service was friendly and food cooked and served quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Visit this very good cafe when we are in Hythe. The food is always very good.The staff are very friendly, always have a smile. Use the loyalty card here,it's a good idea. Great cafe,keep it up everybody. Thanks.

We have been to Sunshines many times. Today I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans. The first thing I notice was the plate size has shrunk. I had barely a spoonful of beans and a little cheese scattered on the top. What a rip off and its not that cheap here. Also I think their childrens meals are a bit expensive for what you get, very little. We did complain when the young lady took our plates and she said she would tell the cook. Nothing was said when we went to pay so we wont be going back. Its a shame the owner wasn't there as we often chat with him and would have told him how we felt. Such a shame as we always liked the place but value for money is a must, one very small spoonful of beans was an insult.

We use the Sunshine cafe quite frequently for breakfast, having often visited the accompanying Sunshine restaurant across the road from the café.

My partner and I are currently working in Hythe for around three weeks. I originally popped in one morning to grab two takeaway coffees and noticed how clean the premises are and how polite the staff were. We went back for lunch and have visited everyday whilst working nearby.

Amazing food, nice cheep and definitely worth the money, all staff is nice will definitely be back soon

Such friendly service from my waitress Antonia and great service from all staff in general. Food was great couldn’t fault it and so was drinks will definitely be coming back x

My sister and I decided on lunch here whilst visiting Hythe for the day, we did eat here before. Both of us had chilli con carne and pancakes with cream and golden syrup for afters as well as a coffee . Food was very nice, service quick and efficient. The only criticism was that due to it being so busy, the only vacant table for two was by the window and it was way too small and cramped for our plates, menus and condiments. Tables are placed too near together so it’s not a very private relaxing environment, too many people too close for comfort.

Well this is our second visit and we have nothing but high praise for venue , food and customer service. The tables now have waiter call buttons on them. Love the decor and that you can see through to the kitchen as I’m nosey . We had the set lunch meal which goes through to 4pm wow . Loved every bit of my dinner even though I never eat it all , well not that green leaf stuff. This place is suitable for young , old and in between which I will go in that bracket. We’ve had a lovely lunch . It’s nice to hear all the chatter going in around you . Well be back soon . Keep up the good work.

Enjoyed a great New Year's Day Lunch with family. Place was busy but service was prompt and pleasant. Variety of meals ordered including a breakfast, lasagne and burger - all arrived together, hot and tasty. Friendly staff, clean surroundings, nice atmosphere.

Let me start by saying I am currently staying in Hythe, Kent on an extended break from the U.S.(Greater New York Area / Manhattan). I have lost count how Cafe's, Diners, or Restaurants I have eaten in over the years as I do a lot of travel for various reasons (Work / Pleasure). So, I do have a taste for good food, quality, and price on my travels across the U.S & Europe. My friend intoduced me to a number of places for breakfast in Hythe, but I found myself returning to the Sunshine Cafe time and time again. Why? Because I know every time I come here for food the staff are SUPER friendly and literally go out of their way to ensure your experience is to your liking. The staff & waitress's at the Sunshine Cafe always go above and beyond and regularly check back to see how I, and other diners; Are doing. Now living, working, and travelling around America I have come to find this a necessity if I am to return time and time again. Friends from London have come down to see me why I am here and I have taken here for Breakfast, everyone enjoyed and commented how nice the establishment was and how tasty their food was too. So if you are like me, and agree with the things I look for while out eating then I suggest you visit the Sunshine cafe in Hythe. Today it was Sonya who made my experience extremely pleasant, the day before was her co worker / friend. The Management here is certainly in place as I would gladly come here again when I am back in the UK and staying in the area. Enjoy!

Had a lovely late brunch here. Can't understand the previous comments. We found the service good, food excellent, and all 5 of us thought it was real value for money! Particularly impressed with our waitress Sonia who was very pleasant and the hardworking chef who was a pleasure to watch beavering away in kitchen. Thankyou

This place is the worst ever food well overpriced over cooked and over here bring bag the good old English cafe

Vastly overpriced,small portions and grumpy staff,aviod this place.used this place twice now ,never again

Everything on menu is money orientated i.e. not worth the money charged. quality poor greasy oily served on stupid bamboo or wooden platter they think it improves the meal they are sadly misguided some of these appeared to be stained.

Absolutely disturbing when I went into the kitchen after complaining about finding a finger in my food, turns out it was an old chip but not the point anyway the guy was wanking into the mayo... can’t condone them actions..

Bad food bad staff bad restaurant, felt very unwelcome and the standard of food was extremely poor. After returning my food to the kitchen it got sent back in an even worse state

Think they need to take some happy pills so rude and you felt you had inconvenienced them by going there. ordered a tea had to ask for the milk and still took 5 minutes before they gave it to you never again AVOID

I have had many lovely meals at the Sunshine cafe. I had a breakfast there last week and as usual it was freshly cooked and the service was great. Food quality reliable and friendly and efficient service!

I ordered myself and my younger sister some breakfasts. My sisters food arrived and she enjoyed her food. 20 minutes later I still had not received my food. The waitresses kept walking past and looking over at the table but did not come over to check everything was alright with our food.

...and not at all disappointed.

We have been going to Sunshines for years, The food is always delicious and great quality all the kids love coming to Sunshines .ALL! the staff are lovely and friendly always happy to help! Good service and really good prices!

Variety of food and drinks on the menu. Nothing fancy..jackets potato’s, salas, burgers, lasagne, fish and chips that kind of food. Lovely food and didn’t have to wait too long for service. Clean and nicely presented place. Would definitely eat in here again. Have also had coffee in here on a business occasion. Not sure if open in evening

We have been here a few times in the last few months and it has always been a good experience. The food is always hot and plenty of it at a good price. They cater for all ages especially kiddies.

got there at 9.30 Sunday morning.

Le cadre, l'accueil, les plats : tout est parfait. De plus, la situation est parfaite. Je recommande vivement.

Personnel sympa et à nos petits soins, nous avons apprécié la cuisine proposée, surtout de l'agneau. nous y retournerions volontiers!

What avlittlr get. Great food well cooked and presented. Great prices. Well worth a visit. Nice to have somewhere to go that doesnt over charge for foid but also gives good quality and friendly clean service

Visited with family, nice and clean. Unfortunately the waitress was unable to smile, maybe she was worried it would crack the full face of deep make up she had on..

Had a breakfast and a couple of puddings and a coffee with friends, all was delicious and great quality - and at really good prices! The place is really nice inside, friendly staff, free wifi. We loved it!

Had an amazing fried breakfast , food arrived piping hot perfectly presented. My partner had chicken nugget and chips also arrived hot and the nuggets where great. Had a cinnamon coffee and this is what I was given , not only a great coffee but a work of art ! The servers where very polite and made this visit amazing!! Highly recommend !!!

The café seemed to be the only place open on a dull, cold, rainy Sunday. Waitresses were friendly and helpful. The food is very simple but well cooked and inexpensive. The coffee was very good. Worth a visit for fast food, good service and cheap eats.
