The Harbour Cafe Bar Kitchen in Thanet

Enjoyed my meal immensely. Attentive, friendly staff and charming interior. Loved the fresh flowers.

The menu was very promising with a good selection of vegetarian dishes . The staff were friendly and we were promptly seated and menus were brought to us quickly. We settled on the wild salmon fish cakes and the manager kindly agreed to replace the chips on one order with extra salad. However when the food arrived we were sadly disappointed. The fishcakes were of a very poor quality, mainly potatoe based they were incredibly mushy and there was very little salmon in evidence and were quite greasy and tasteless. The chips were obviously frozen but again poor quality and over cooked. The extra salad to replace my chips was again poor quality consisting of mainly roughly chopped lettuce. We did give our feedback to the manager who gracefully didn't charge us for both plates as I left my fishcake as one was enough and only hunger drove me to eat the first. We won't be returning.

Lovley cafe close to main beach in Margate and the Turner Contemporary. A friendly welcome and good food. Dogs also welcome inside. The food was tasty and of good quality. Can reccomend the mediterranean Quiche with chips and salad which had a very good salad dressing and the hand cut ham egg & chips - the ham was divine. Good coffee and a great window seat to watch the world go by. 10/10.

Lovely cafe with a really welcoming interior. The menu is very much my taste with a good selection of options from fishcakes to quiche to burgers. There is also a vegan menu. I have no idea why people have put mean comments on here which are just not valid. Its a very nice place with great staff and service.

Staff were genuinely lovely and we were able to bring our dogs which was the only positives...we ordered to veggie breakfasts, they were cold, basic and portion size was contradictory to the cost. We sadly will not return.

ordered a full english and the bacon still had a pulse it was pretty gross. after mentioning it to staff, instead of getting it replaced I was offered to pay £2 to get a new cooked batch

Pretty cafe in a nice spot in Margate. Lovely coffee and hearty breakfast. Staff friendly and cheerful. Food service was relatively slow given we were only 1 of 2 tables in the cafe when we ordered. Consequently we had to extend our parking time. On the one hand at least it’s cooked fresh, on the other hand it’s only breakfast: how long does it take to fry some bacon and eggs? Overall good experience and would return.

Do t know why this place had terrible reviews.. just sat here with a bit of sunshine.. great service.. best sausage and egg sandwich.. big doorstep bread and good butter, great quality Cumberland sausages and amazing local eggs!! Coffee was illy and service with a smile and really reasonable prices.. keep it up.. 🥰

Lovely food and a great atmosphere. Inside and outside dining. Nice place to visit.

As many others have said - nice location, lovely staff, awful food. £16.50 for some cheap, unseasoned lamb offcuts slapped in a supermarket pitta. £13.50 for a poor quality burger. They have everything they need here for a top quality little restaurant, and it's a real shame the quality of the food is so poor.

The price should reflect the quality of the food, £4.50 for oven chips and Aldi’s ketchup is savage. Can confirm the pictures on other reviews are true. (Ask for take out coffees if you pop in for one - cups are half the size if sitting down)

Friendly and helpful to someone who is just going gluten free. Great ambiance and lovely decor. My cousin and I had a lovely relaxing lunch.

Nice relaxed place with interesting understated decor, good quality food and efficient friendly service on margate seafront.

A good location looking out to the sea. They set up a few tables for us outside and bought out a few more chairs for our party of 20 and 3 dogs. Quickly took our orders and the orders came out within a short time. I had the home made fishcake that was good. Everyone appeared to enjoy there meal.

We only went in for coffee and cake after walking the dog on the beach ( dog friendly) This is my second visit in two weeks and both times the service has been fast and friendly Great coffee and my family enjoyed the cake I will be back again absolutely spot on

Upon my arrival in Margate, I needed a warming coffee. The Harbour Cafe was the perfect choice. My latte and home made carrot cake were delicious. Two lovely young ladies happily served me and chatted with me. The atmosphere was extremely friendly and happy.

A beautiful cafe with a lovely view, nice staff and absolutely abysmal food. It’s a shame because I want it to succeed, but the shocking cheapness and lack of effort put into the food prevents me from supporting it apart from buying a frankly mediocre coffee. Of particular note is the burger with nothing but a bun and sauce, an absolute ripoff.

Fantastic cafe with great food, staff are lovely and friendly. Lovely location. Highly recommended 👌

What a lovely find 😍 Delicious sausage and bacon sandwiches this morning. Lovely fresh, thick bread slices. Brilliant friendly service too. We'd definitely return

Not vegan friendly breakfast, you get the veggie breakfast without the egg, no replacement allowed.

We traveled to Margate for a day out during the October half term, we wanted to go to an independent Cafe for breakfast, as we walked through the old Town, all the Cafes were packed with people then we stumble on this one which was completely empty (which we soon realised why). the waitering staff were very friendly and efficient. the tables were very close together. we both ordered a cooked breakfast, one veggie, one regular, I don't like eggs and every time I go out and order a breakfast, everywhere will substitute the egg for something else. when I requested a swap, the waitress told me that the chef has a no swap policy which is ridiculous this day and age , eggs are very expensive currently, I know as I work in the food industry as a professional chef. when the food was delivered it was of basic quality and no where near worth the price tag, we won't be returning here until they get a chef who understands customer service and not using cheap ingredients to flog to the public.

Lovely location and equally lively staff. Nice straightforward menu of breakfast, brunch and lunch items. Great veggie breakfast.

Well where to start, went in with my son, had to fetch our own menus and had to ask for drinks list, one member of staff had a smile but the others looked like they would prefer to be elsewhere. An older lady who I think was Manager or owner was more interested in telling the staff to tell people on the tables out front they couldn't eat food they had brought elsewhere on them. Food was lack lustre to say the least, wild salmon fishcakes that hadn't got any salmon, just potato cake with the worst salad I have had, the veggie option didn't excite either. I know times are hard for all small businesses at the moment but cutting corners and still charging inflated prices isn't the way to survive, it wasn't very busy and tbh I can see why but if you are failing and your enthusiasm for what you do has gone then perhaps the time has arrived to let go and walk away. I would have passed my feelings on to a member of staff if they had bothered to ask if everything was OK but they didn't and after paying over £40 for the experience a goodbye or thankyou would have been nice but sadly this didn't happen. I work in the food and drink sector and know what standards should be in place regarding customer service and unfortunately this place falls short on all of it.

Waited ages for a menu. Coffee was warm not hot. We sat on a small table outside that was seated for 4 people. When the food came the plates didn’t all fit on the table, instead we all had to have them hanging over the table. We asked if two of us could move to another table and was told we couldn’t (there were lots of empty tables). We all had an English Breakfast. Was basic but edible. Sauces offered were Aldi own brand in the bottles. Paid £8.90 for one egg, 2 x bacon, one sausage, one slice of toast and small spoonful of beans. When we asked if we could pay separately by card the owner said they were too busy and suggested one of us pay and then transfer each other the money. Definitely style over substance. Would not return.

The staff at this seaside cafe were lovely and attentive, but the food didn't match up. My partner's halloumi salad was sparse and lacked dressing, almost as if the dish was thrown together as an afterthought. The pita bread was probably straight out from the packet, it would've been nice if it was toasted or heated. As for my burger, it was disappointingly small and overwhelmed by a heavy, sweet sauce. In comparison, I've had much more substantial and better-tasting burgers at upscale restaurants for the same price. While the staff did their best, the food was a letdown. We won't be returning.

Shocking service. Waited for about 10 minutes with staff passing by and not shown to a table, asked staff twice and still no table. IT was not due to a lack of staff, I saw at least 4 faffing about, moving tables, moving umbrellas. Gave up in the end and when to the Bulls Head around the corner, and highly recommend anyone looking at this joke of a place does the same.

Very nice and pleasant service. As for the food, it's bland, tasteless, I have the impression that it has no spices (especially the meat in the kebab). Barren. The advantage is that you can come with your dog.

As we sadly discovered on arrival, that our hotel did not offer breakfast, we were forced to find somewhere else, to eat breakfast on our two days in Margate... One that was recommended by the hotel staff, wasn't really our cup of tea, as it didn't offer what we would call a Full, English Breakfast. We therefore walked back into town, and the Harbour Café was the first one we came across. We absolutely loved the menu, the whole look of the place, and the staff were charming, and extremely tolerant of me wanting a weird mixture of stuff. The quality of the actual breakfast was fantastic, and we actually tried to go back the next day (on a Wednesday), but for some reason, it was closed when we got there at about 10 to 10... (The website says they're open at 9am on a Wednesday, but closed on Thursday, so maybe they'd changed their hours, as it was because there'd been a Bank Holiday on the Monday?) We were very disappointed, as we would happily have eaten there again. We can't recommend it too highly!

Visited this cafe with friends in August, food was lovely (especially the coffee) and very friendly staff! Will be visiting again.

Me and my sister had a lovely lunch here. We sat outside in the sunshine and thoroughly enjoyed our halloumi pittas with chips and salad. The service was great, lovely waitresses. Food came quickly, was hot and fresh.

Absolutely rubbish, second rate cafe with poor quality food, 50p Panini s, for nearly £7!! Processed meats, cold, poorly presented. Mocha in a tea cup, cold americano. Feel sorry for the youngsters fronting the place.

Dreadful paper flowers out front, chipped tables, food not good (chorizo panini was not a panini but a home baked flattened bread and only 2 slices of plastic chorizo, cheap ham, minimal cheese, no dressing, salad difficult to find. Will not go back. Young serving staff were very good.

Went to the cafe for a coffee was not expecting rude service! We debated whether to have food but decided not to. Was shown to the table by a lovely girl who told us the kitchen was shut for 15/20mins but we could sit in. Got sat at the tiniest table at the back. Waited ages for someone to come over so I had to get up and ask for someone to take our order. Ordered 2 coffees and when stated that was all we would like the waitress (maybe the manager?) stared at me and rudely said we could not just have a drink. I stated we was never told we could not just have a drink. She then rudely said that there are other customers who need our table because they was going to eat and we was not. I said she could cancel our order but she then said it had already gone through so she wouldn’t do that and then said we needed to drink our coffees quickly and leave so she can give out table away. I felt super uncomfortable. On a positive note, our coffees were nice! Will not be coming back!!!!

Let's start with good things. Location, interior and staff were great. The food however was very basic and lacked any passion or spark. Being a long distance cyclist, I could eat this somewhere in the small village as a way to fuel myself while ignoring the vagueness and absolutely primitive approach to cooking. However this is a prime location next to the sea. Competition is fierce here and you are charging customers as a restaurant, but serve food that some "greasy spoon" cafes would be embarrassed to sell. I strongly encourage the owners to rethink your approach. You have a nice place in a good location, don't try to "milk" customers just because you have guaranteed footfall and someone will always come. You can do better than that.

You better believe all the negative reviews here. I regret I haven't checked before walking in. No Idea how this place survives as business. (Clearly owners don't care to improve) Great location and friendly staff ... Still, I can't forgive the lack of effort: Serving this food to the customers especially with that price tag is a joke. Even the sauce served was from Aldi's own brand. Come on! I like Aldi when I do my shopping, not when I pay money for eating out. The burger was the smallest and the most boring I've ever seen. Both dishes looked so sad and tasted like nothing. Speechless. I think I better don't waste more time writing here.

Amazing staff amazing food ,staff couldn’t be more helpful .very clean and great atmosphere.will definitely be returning and recommending x very happy x

Amazing staff, food and atmosphere is amazing. Hidden gem.will be recommending and returns for sure xx

Lovely cafe, great service, very friendly and welcoming! We had a homemade burger which was delicious, with scrummy chips and fresh salad. It was so good we came back the next day for a Full English and received the same friendly welcome and good food. I thought the prices were very reasonable for good food, friendly service, lovely decor and great location. ❤️

Lovely experience, good food and friendly staff.

Popped in for a cuppa and tempted by the smell was persuaded to have bacon sarni! Young servers were just lovely. Super friendly and attentive but not too much. Tea and bacon sarni good - fresh produce and sufficient at reasonable cost. Nice environment, lovely decor. Window tables great for people watching

Absolutely delicious breakfasts and coffees. Faultless. On the pricey side but totally worth it for the excellent service.

Food ok but condiments were budget which suggests the same for rest of food. Staff very oddly asked us to move to different table despite no demand for the table we had. Outside furniture unstable, inside looked quirky, pretty clean but would not bother eating there again due to weird request to move and food quality.

The CHIPS, the CHIPS! Heavenly! The staff were so inviting and friendly. I had a vegetarian meal and we spoke of the late David Mosman, RIP, husband of the chef, who was a taxi driver and later built the cafe from scratch. If I lived in Margate, it could be a "regleear" place to eat. The meal was for two of us. Such nice ladies!

Like other reviews you are paying for the location. Very simple food certainly not worth the cash. Great setting and fabulous staff just let down by over priced mediocre food

Rude. The entrance was barricaded with a sign to wait to be seated but no one was there. After waiting a bit, I went in to ask (it was not busy-almost all tables empty). The young lady was friendly and asked me to wait a little more outside. On my way out the manager gave the young lady a hard time because people weren’t kept outside, then asked me if I was just on my own (which she didn’t try to hide that she wasn’t happy about), told me she can only serve me breakfast (not lunch). Really unwelcoming attitude. Left. Went to Café G down the road where food was great and service was lovely!

Lovely coffee, nice vibe. Friendly staff

Nice Illy coffee but your only paying for the location. A full English was £9 but was very basic and you can taste everything is bought in Aldi so not worth the price. Then was asked to pay cash instead of card.

Lovely interior & friendly staff but food really poor. Ordered 4 paninis & the filling was almost non existent in all of them, we were mostly eating toasted bread. I ordered mozzarella & tomato - one cherry tomato in each half & a smidgeon of cheese if you looked for it. Just not worth £6.40. Hot chocolates served in small coffee cups - never had such a small hot choc before! Shame as lovely fresh flowers in bottles everywhere & gorgeous exposed brickwork walls - just need to add some filling to the paninis please!

Little on the pricey side but nice as a treat.

This is the 2nd visit to this delightful cafe We opted for the continental platter. Great service and good food on both visits.

We like the food here - some say it's a bit pricey but the quality is dependable. However we are sick of being monitored. We almost always order food and in fact probably eat & depart quite quickly but never quickly enough it would seem. During most recent visit our meal was constantly interrupted - about 8 times I think - by staff enquiring whether there was anything else we'd like, removing the salt & pepper, removing cups the minute they were empty etc. etc. And yet there was plenty of space for more customers. It's horrible. On this occasion it got so bad there were barely 5 minutes between each 'visit', sometimes they were less than 2 minutes apart! Heaven forbid that customers might relax and enjoy, even just a little bit! I do not think this is anything to do with the staff but is at the behest of the owner who stands guard and apparently does not like customers. We've just had it with the place.

Quick bacon and egg sandwich with coffee. Nice cafe and friendly staff. The egg was runny and the sandwich tasty, easy breakfast. Coffee string and good quality.

Staff friendly and faultless, and sat us immediately. Fast service, however as soon as a bottle of Aldi ketchup was put on the table I was sceptical. Food arrived, amazing chips but the rest was extremely overpriced for the quality and effort put in. Lamb kebab was just a thin cheap lamb steak sliced into a pitta. Halloumi kebab was dry and basic which lacked flavour. Kids meal also overpriced for just one small sausage and a hand full of chips. Didn’t even come with beans/veg or a drink. Wouldn’t return because of these reasons.

Honestly better off going to weatherspoons, it’s half the price, the same quality food and you don’t feel like you’ve inconvenienced them massively by bringing a pram into the establishment. This wasn’t just us experiencing this, we witnessed another couple with their young child made to feel like an inconvenience. The young staff members were pleasant enough apart from the male waiter who weirdly and awkwardly hovered around after handing us the bill watching us count the money. Also for the price of the very average food I’d expect better than Aldi condiments

It was around 2/3 in the afternoon. We walked for 15 minutes to find the all day breakfast but could not and when we came here we also got told they stop serving it and our only option was fish and chips which I am not a fan of. When approaching the fish shop this kind lady followed us and called us back saying they do serve breakfast(she was from this cafe). The service was very good and food too💖.

Service was attentive, food was basic but tasty. Ham, egg & chips, 2 Home made small fish cakes, side salad, chips, 1 small glass of wine & a tap water £35! Sorry, but this is Margate not Marbella! You’re better off finding a nice cafe and paying less than half these prices!

We liked our short time there. The staff are polite and helpful.

Very specific instructions here from the lady we presumed is the owner. Told where to sit, though many empty tables. No extra salad allowed instead of chips. ‘Just have it how it arrives’ we were told. Made to feel welcome by all the other staff...

My husband & I took our dog for a walk on the beach at Margate. After walking for an hour, we needed refreshments. We walked along looking at places to eat and The Harbour Cafe Bar Kitchen caught our eye. We decided to give it...

Beautiful breakfast and very welcoming staff. What a lovely vibe.

The food was bland, overcooked and poorly presented. Also the chips were frozen chips and it seems everything else! Best described as - ‘mum had been to Iceland’. We were visiting for the day, hadn’t booked anywhere so had limited choices ( also there were...

Absolutely delicious bacon sarnies! Great coffee too. Lovely staff. We’ll be back. X

Friendly staff, affordable food. Vegetarian options.

Distinctly weird atmosphere. 6 of us in total, 4 adults, 2 kids. We were seated by a friendly and polite waitress and just after we’d all got settled were then, for no apparent reason, asked to move to the back of the room, which meant...

Terrible atmosphere. Too little ham in panini. Small very strong 'latte'

Want to start by saying the staff were lovely, and really made an effort to accommodate us, especially as a large group. We were able to walk in and they pushed two tables together to allow for us. It must have been busy, as they were a little frazzled at times when they came over, seeming to forget a couple things here and there. One being, when I asked for the door to be closed as it was really cold and everyone had to wear their coat/jacket inside. The waitress said they would ask if they could. The answer was either no, or they had forgotten, which wasn't the end of the world but not ideal. When it came to paying, we decided to pay the bulk and split our bills after we had left, and found some extra costs that didn't make much sense. For example, I ordered a Veggie Breakfast, and asked for scrambled eggs instead of fried: they charged me £1.80 to do this? Maybe it was a mistake, I'm willing to understand as they were busy. But if this is regularly the case, it's really extortionate. Otherwise we enjoyed our meals, though maybe slightly pricey because of its beach front location. They were also kind enough to wash out my travel mug and put a coffee to go into it. I wish I could rate this higher 😔

Rubber scramble eggs, processed sausages, white bread only. Asked for it to be done again and received exactly the same underwhelming plate of food! Tiny portions. Over priced. Nice coffee saved it from being 1 star.

Great breakfast, fast service, perfectly done toast :)))

The food is simple, and satisfactory after a day at the beach. While the prices seem steep for the meal, you're paying for the view so sit outside on the patio covered by umbrellas to make the most of your time at this cute cafe. I thought the salmon fish cakes would have more salmon inside, it's mostly potato but still came out piping hot from the fryer. Toilets are ok, but I wish there was a hook on the door for bags/jacket.

Nice little cafe. We stopped for lunch. I had the home made burger, my daughter had sausage and chips from the kids menu. The kids meal did not come with any vegetables. Some baked beans wouldn't have gone amiss at least. My burger was homemade and quite tasty, and came with cheese. However, other than that it had a squirt of tomato ketchup and mayonnaise on it. No salad or anything. Flavour wise it was very much like a big Mac. Overall, the food was fine, but not great, and the prices were expensive for the quality. The burger was about £14, for which I'd expect more. Service was good

Pedantic and rude main server, maybe the owner. Seemed to grudge the fact my friends and I sat down and one of wanted to eat a main meal, my friends wanted drinks and would have ordered a snack each too. She asked us to move...

From being seated (which in itself was not as straightforward as it should have been - they wouldnt seat us in the corner table with a parasol as that table had 3 chairs so wanted to put is on the table with no shade because...

Very good great food and very clean premesis and very polite staff.

Good service nice people and reasonably inexpensive

My friend and I stopped by for a light meal after spending the day on the beach. The welcome was warm and genuine. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options are also available. Food options 10/10 Food Presentation 10/10 Food Quality 10/10 Ambience 10/10 Service 10/0...

We were really disappointed with not only the food but the whole experience at this restaurant. Firstly wanted to say that the young girls working there are really lovely and gave great service (they get the star) Other than that, the service from the manager/owner was terrible. We were rushed to our table, and everything was immediately an inconvenience. I ordered a white wine spritzer.. no ice .. so I said on just wine with a dash of soda.. told soda comes in bottles so you can’t have a dash you must have the whole thing. Again I felt like I’d really troubled her! Drinks ordered we ask for a little time to order food.. not allowed we must order everything we want now! Not only is this discouraging customers from ordering extra drinks, sides, deserts, it’s just downright rude! Food came.. I had (homemade medetaranian quiche); a microwaved , soggy bottomed bland , aldi quiche with oven chips and a basic salad.. my friend had (lamb kebab) , plain lamb in a pita with Tesco tzatziki and oven chips! We asked for mayo.. supprise supprise no mayo! We were just given aldi branded ketchup in its original bottle.. no shame! The owner was clearing plates before people had Even finished.. folding away tables noisily,, huffing audibly at other customers… we just felt we were being pushed to leave. And again payment was problematic.. we had to go inside to pay and we weren’t able to split the bill!? In 2022?? Must say the girl serving did genuinely seem embarrassed at the lack of ice/mayo/payment facilities… but I think the owner really needs to step up! Our bill was nearly £40 for all this may I add! Beautiful prime location that seems wasted on rude service and terrible overpriced food! Won’t go back .

Surprised by the poor reviews here. We visited on Monday lunchtime, were very touched by the warm welcome from the manager and had great service throughout from the lovely team working that day. The food was perfectly nice - nothing fancy, but then we weren’t...

The food was bland using cheap ingredients that were not worth the money. overpriced so would not recommend or return here either.

One of the few times I didn't read reviews before eating at a restaurant thanks to being hungry, tired, and in a foreign city. I found the burger and fries excellent, and the waitress was lovely to me. Cozy seaside spot.

Very disappointed, instead of being grateful they treated us like we didn't order enough.

Lovely atmospheric place to have a bite to eat. Had a very tasty breakfast and mug of tea. Lovely friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

Worst breakfast I’ve ever had (microwaved eggs, cheap beans etc.) + a waitress in a Liverpool shirt.

Was really disappointed with the quality of the food used. I had a veggie platter which consisted of the cheapest lettuce, Tom's olives and hummus with no taste! Also coffee was really small . I should have read the reviews first then we would have gone somewhere else!

To avoid, there much better places in Margate. I wish I read the reviews first but, as others have stated, it looks quite a pleasant place but the food is a very sub standard affair and way overpriced - a tourist trap to be avoided. A real shame as it's in a great location.

…of not judging a book by its cover. The cafe’s in a prime spot, looks good and inviting from the front, a theme continued inside, and with the menus. But the food - when we went it was mediocre at best. Others have mentioned a...

I’m sorry. Lovely setting and venue but no, you simply can’t charge £15 for a lamb kebab where the lamb tastes like it was reheated in the microwave. Real shame as this is a major missed opportunity

Delicious full English breakfast! A gorgeous little gem of a cafe on the Margate seafront. Staff very attentive… and dog friendly too!

It was nice to sit outside in the sun but the food is way overpriced and poor quality. I ordered lamb kebab which was £15 and I expected shish kebab and not scrappy pieces of lamb you get from a late night takeaway. Really poor

And it is. The manager should invest in a business guide. Sitting customers at the front shows popularity, but they were saving those tables for ‘groups’ or ‘fours’ which never arrived. So we were squashed into a corner. With luggage. At least six people came...

Lovely cafe along close to the Turner serving fantastic doorstop bacon and egg sarnies and full English.

£14:40 for 2 glasses of small wine - not even a large glass. And I can quite confidently say everything there is bought from Aldi hence why nothing sold by the bottle. I asked for the house red which was priced at £5.90 (which is...

Sadly appearances of the cafe do not match the quality of food or ingredients. If your in the market for a standard English breakfast, then this place is for you. A slightly more upmarket greasy spoons. As other people have mentioned, Aldi condiments, and little to no food presentation. No choice offered for type of bread in sandwiches and breakfasts.

This is a nice atmospheric cafe. But we were disappointed with the food for the price. We ordered ‘wild salmon fishcakes’. While tasty, the fishcakes were quite small and had hardly any fish in them - mostly potato. The side salad was small and unremarkable...

Popped in randomly for a light lunch. Good menu selection, should be easy for everyone to find something. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Great to have gluten free options, which we needed for one of us. One mistake was fixed immediately with apologies and no fuss. Great alternative to the café at the Turner. Card payments taken, to correct an earlier review which said they were cash only.

Gently quirky, pretty environment. Fresh flowers being prepared as we were there. Very friendly, thoughtful proprietor. Food delicious, nothing fancy but very well done. Great Illy coffee.

My husbnd had errands to run in Margate so we decided to remain in the old town and locate breakfast. We arrived at the Harbour Cafe and weren't too sure whether it was open, but there were plently of staff inside so we entered. We...

Delicious food and they changed the menu to give me exactly what I wanted and seemed happy to do so.

Owner unwelcoming and food overpriced. Was charged £1.80 for an extra slice of toast and extra to have eggs scrambled! The set breakfasts do not come with mushrooms. Waitresses were great and the food was ok.

We experienced such a lack of willingness from the owner of this cafe to provide sunshade cover despite requesting it at the outset. Subsequent ill mannered attempts by her to express her frustrations upon us reminded us of throbbing gristle. Meal was okay. Waitress helpful....
