The Lookout in Thanet

Slower than a wet Sunday. Simple take away order took the best part of 30 mins and they weren’t even that busy. And it wasn’t that nice when I eventually got it either. Plenty of better options nearby.

1st visit to the look out cafe asked for 2 cappuccino they where lattes I could not even drink mine the service is something that needs to be address shame because it was a beautiful day weather wise

We enjoyed a very good filter coffee here, they give you a mug with its own individual filter on top so it's nice and freshly brewed. A great little café and happy to say there's toilets nearby too.

Stopped a couple of time while walking the Westcliff Prominade. I had a cup of tea and a bacon and egg bap, but they also serve fried breakfasts, chips, burgers, sandwiches, Omlettes and Jacket potatoes. Seating inside and out with great views.

We started at Herne Bay and cycled to Ramsgate via Monkton and Minster. Arrived at the Look Out at about 10.30. Beautiful views across Pegwell Bay. Sat in the autumn sunshine enjoying the coffee and the views.

Often stop off here for the nearby loos when in the area and today decided to sit a while to enjoy the good weather and the view with a really lovely cup of coffee from this little promenade cafe.

Awful and rude service, owner looks grubby, no mask and basically unwelcoming. As for the supposed coffee, not worth the random pricing and threw it away. Shame as it's a good spot but clearly in need of a makeover and better owners. Far better places within a short distance, won't be returning any time soon.

We stopped here for lunch on 2 occasions. The view is great. The food is basic and the pricing is a little confusing. We have had toasties and a breakfast. The toastievwas OK and the breakfast was OK. Bacon very salty and sausage not good. The owner is always very friendly her staff not as friendly. If you want basic food with a good view this is the plc ace for you.

Offer a good range of snacks and have a small seating area. Friendly and helpful. Taking good care to comply with Covid precautions. Great place for a sunny day to sit outside and admire the views. seems to be popular with the locals. Roadside parking nearby.

Had bacon and egg sandwiches, a side of beans and tea. Service really good. Food, tbe best greasy-spoon in town. Vibe, freindly and fun. Local cafe for local people so go there to sample real Ramsgate.

Rude, obnoxious staff. Said they were not serving food at 15:45, popped to the toilet & came back & they had served food to a group of eight. Don’t even bother with this place, a real shame.

Three of us each had a lovely scone with jam and Clotted Cream, plus tea for £3 per head, they even happily substituted a soft drink for one of the teas. Very friendly ladies running the place. It has a great location and view. Sadly only two tables in the shade, but otherwise great place to stop off when visiting the Grange, Pugin's church or just wandering along the cliff.

That's it in a nutshell really, basic but good. Great view out to sea. My wife and I had two slices of cheese on toast on brown each and a latte. Very nice indeed

Went for an ice cream and no welcome no hello! Rude staff and when we got the ice creams with a flake it was mouldy with hair!! Never ever again! Dont waste your money!

Visited over the bank holiday and will not be returning. This could be a little gem, but very unwelcoming and food very bland and expensive.

Trip one last week, the tea was ditch-water and the service was resentful. Trip two, just blatant rudeness. Walked out without eating. That's two local's who won't be spending any further time or money at this place. They got the name right - "LOOKOUT" I don't expect quality service from a sea-side café, but a little bit of courtesy can't be too much to ask. No Michelin stars for this "eatery."

We've used this place a few times but our last visit was awful. The staff seemed to resent us being there, were rude and when the food came it was cold and inedible. It's a shame as previously the man serving (who wasn't there this time) was very helpful and informative about the area and we enjoyed it very much.

Great scenery and a stop for lots of people on walks and bike rides.The Cafe is small and this can cause big queues.Foods not bad either

This seems very much a traditional seaside café offering all you would expect in a straightforward English breakfast.The staff were friendly and helpful enough, and yes there was await for the food because it is cooked freshly to order. Very much a place for locals who seem to go there most days. Great view across Pegwell Bay.

Stopped off here when my wife & I were out for one of our famous short walks, they always end up been long. LOL. We only had a drink but the staff were so polite and jolly. The tea and coffee were just right. It needs a bit more advertising I think. We didn't even know this cafe was here.

There's little more than a welcoming grunt when you enter here and it gets worse. Following such a lack of hospitality we limited ourselves to a couple of hot drinks, a tea and a coffee. Both were incredibly weak, making us wonder how anyone could get that wrong given the tea is three ingredients, and the black coffee a mere two.

Great view but terrible service. Staff get orders wrong. Take ages before food arrives and not friendly. What a shame as the location is lovely. Other customers also complaining of the service at time of visit. Best avoid in my opinion.

had a lovely breakfast would deffo recommend sat outside and watched the world go by, the food was hot and plenty of it

Pasamos unos días de Londres visitando a mi viejo amigo en Ramsgate.

Relación calidad-precio 5 / 5 4 / 5 Tipo de comida de la cafetería tradicional británica (patatas asadas, tortillas, sandwiches, queso en la puerta tostadas, patatas fritas). Siempre es una buena oferta, raciones no son cutre. Bueno ver generosas porciones de ensalada, también. Ver +...

Este lugar era muy agradable se paró en una copa y terminamos teniendo comida estupenda limpio y ordenado y el personal es muy acogedor y feliz - fue un placer comer allí volveremos pronto Gracias muchachos.

Una fantástica cafetería cuando andaba con o sin un perro... Ciertamente no es el más grande de café, pero una gran relación calidad-precio y unas vistas al mar y genial para sentarse fuera y ver el mundo pasar... Vale la pena una visita

Gran ubicación para tomar una bebida fría en un día caluroso o una bebida caliente en un día muy agradable disfrutando de las vistas whilt sobre el Goodwin Sands y la costa hasta Kingsdown.

The staff in this cafe are fun loving and so friendly makes it a place you want to visit time and again.I can highly recommend a full English breakfast cooked with good quality food ( Heinz beans and bacon not salty ) with a beautiful view of the English channel.Very dog friendly inside and out.

Dropped in to this little gem on our coastal drive today, ordered a coffee then saw the rock cakes, then the wife saw the crumble so added those on! All scratch home made and lovely. I even added a bacon and egg bap for "desert". Don't judge a book by its cover and give this little place a try for a great British caff experience!

Popped in on a whim with a mate , sat outside and ordered a full English , lovely lady served us a cracking brekkie with very nice sausages and real deal fried bread ! This little place has amazing views over pegwell bay !

We stopped here for tea and toast on our way into town. Felt the good was nice but unfortunately the one member of staff was not very friendly. Hardly spoke and I had to call to be served she could see I was there but just carried on washing up. It's not somewhere I would stop again there are other nicer places nearer to the town

A nice enough place to stop if you fancy a quick bite and a refreshment. I thought it was a little pricey for what it is. I mean a sarnie and a cuppa tea for over £4.00? I mean it's hardly haute cuisine. It is what is it: a greasy spoon, style, no fuss cafe. I feel that owners are simply guessing what the price should be. Price should match quality and I didn't feel that I got that. Outside seating is available but it's all a bit ramshackle with kids seats and tables. It could do so much better both in terms of food,drinks and decor. It doesn't take alot of push the boat out and I would hope they improve things because they are in no shortage of tourists and locals alike.

Parked up on the West Cliff and decided to stop here for a cup of tea and a piece of toast. The staff were very friendly and made us very welcome. Toast was lovely made with crusty bread very pleased with the atmosphere.

The best thing is the view, it really is something else on a clear day you can see right round the bay. The second best thing is the cuppa, served up in a mug and great value. Oh & I quite forgot the staff, lovely ladies. It gets very busy on a warm sunny day.

The Lookout Cafe on the clifftop at Ramsgate on a hot, sunny May morning..Young families with icecreams, pensioners lunching on jacket potatoes piled high with fillings, freshly brewed coffee, tea served as weak or as strong as you like it, home made cake...and bacon butties made with good quality bacon and really fresh ' real' bread. Only a few tables indoors, but plenty of seats out in the sun with views straight across the Channel. Just as a day at the seaside should be!!!

So nice to look out to sea and enjoy coffee and cake!!!! Truly a little gem!!! Just make sure that you have a jacket as can be a little chilly even on a warm day!!!
