The Mulberry Tree Coffee Shop in Maidstone

This is the second time that we have visited for breakfast and it is one of the best cafes around this part of Kent. The quality of the food served is excellent and the service is excellent. It's actually fantastic to find a café now that has excellent service! The sausage muffin was lovely - with good quality sausages and the espressos that we had were strong and tasted good. The whole cafe has a lovely atmosphere and is spotlessly clean. The servers are very attentive and helpful. Definitely one of our favourite places to come for breakfast - I must try the cakes next time I come!

Virtually no vegan options except one main meal. My daughter had to pay for a med veg & cheese panini without the cheese & without the coleslaw. We'd had delicious vegan soup on a previous visit, but this time there was no soup on the menu.

Jacket potato with chilli con carne was great. Fast service Great lunch, nice people and a filling meal.

Took my parents to lunch here and was extremely impressed by your friendly attentive staff. Even though they were very busy they gave excellent service and the food was great too. Thank you 😊

Always loved this coffee shop yes its expensive, you could probably get a 3 course meal for the price of a hot meal, and drink here, but non the less the girls are very nice and very clean, everything is kept immaculate after people have left the table, so no complaints there, the only thing that i dont like is when people have finished their meal and drink they sit for ages talking with empty plates and cups on the table, they should be asked to leave the tables to make way for people waiting in line.

I feel I should keep this place to myself as it is very COVID safe (though I have noticed in the last couple of weeks tables getting closer together) and the food and service is both very good and at a good price. It is though getting very busy and may now be squeezing g too many in.

This is a nice clean place with good eats but expensive.The staff are on the ball and always cleaning the areas where people have used. I was not happy with the overpriced soft drink having to pay £2.15 for a small can of diet coke 330ml and they do not have ice.A bit of extortion going on there i think.I can shop at a discount store and get 4 small 330ml cans of diet coke for £2. and they are still making a profit so why is this place so expensive for soft drinks? In another coffee shop i only paid £1.85 for a 500ml diet coke so whats going on.

Come here often and like it, but on this occasion came with my daughter who is vegan. No options for lunch except a curry. Asked if she could have beans on toast with no butter but was told no. In the end I asked again as my daughter had nothing to eat, eventually they said as they were not busy they would do it. I don’t see why it was an issue, it takes quicker to make then anything else on the menu. In the current climate you’d expect vegan options available.

The Coffee Shop is very popular and getting a table can be problemtic - expecially at lunch times. Dishes are good quality - presenation very attractive - pleasandt 'smiley' staff.

I have been visiting this coffee shop for years and thought it was time to give it the excellent review it deserves! The food is excellent, fresh and tasty. The coffee shop is great for families as high chairs are provided and there is plenty of room for wheelchairs. Well worth a visit.

Went for lunch o Saturday and it was busy but we didn't have to wait long for the food. The cheese and onion chutney was very nice and filling with crisps, salad and coleslaw so excellent value. My wife prawn sandwich was also good. Only issue was that a can of soft drink was £1.95 which I feel is too expensive, I future would just have tap water or tea.

Fabulous food, well cooked & presented by helpful, happy staff. Well worth visiting when you are at the garden centre. They serve cold food as well as cooked & have a lovely selection of cakes, pastries, jams, preservatives as well as sweets & ice cream.

Popped into the Garden centre to pick up a few bits for the cold season, the smell of food was fantastic !!!!! Had no intention of having food, but just could not resist. Pot of tea, cakes, very good indeed. Staff young but a nice change to see young people with manners & a correct demeanour. Overall a good experience, very popular, get yourself in early !

I've just discovered this café inside the Brookside garden centre in East Peckham and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious and the drinks were too, great portion sizes, amazing quality and I don't have a bad word to say. Can't wait to go back!

This establishment runs like clock-work. The staff are friendly and efficient. Service is fast. Prices are fair. The fudge looks great! You can purchase various speciality food items. Best of all, it is a lovely, clean place to sit and enjoy a coffee.

Very friendly service but when I saw the receipt and the £1.95 I paid for a can of 330ml coke i nearly fell off my chair. Safe to say I won’t be using the coffee shop again

Great range of food good quality and freshly prepaired Friendly helpful staff Plenty od seating Very good breakfasts and great cakes

The food here is what you might expect with the range and quality of your average garden centre cafe. The staff are very good - friendly and efficient - and the food is perfectly adequate overall. We go often and expect what is served so are not disappointed. The toilet facilities on the other hand are below standard and managers need to look at this issue as the water isn't hot, the soap gel isn't often sufficient and the whole ambience is unpleasant. Does rather put you off your food...

Called for a catch up lunch with a cousin. Good selection of food. She had the cheese and onion quiche with salad, I had the cold poached salmon with prawns in sauce, salad, new potatoes and baguette. It was very nice but I only had three very small halves of new potatoes and two really small bits of baguette. For dessert my cousin had apple pie and icecream, I had the pancakes with maple syrup and icecream. The icecream is softer freeze from a machine (they also sell cornets and 99s) so very nice. The desserts were a good portion, if I’m being picky then I would have liked a bit more maple syrup. We shared a pot of tea.

Lovely for a quick bit, though portions were very generous. Despite being very busy, tables were clean and staff very attentive. Great for families with ample steaming space (for pushchairs) and very good by changing facilities. Food and drink was very hot and delicious.

Prices for ploughman’s expensive for what you received. Two thin slices of ham , 3 slices of cucumber! A segment of tomato, a few leaves of lettuce, coleslaw, 4 small sweet onions! Pickle and a small baguette. It was fresh and nice but very small potion.

Stopped here for lunch. Staff efficient and busy keeping it tidy. I opted for a cheese and onion toastie the wife had cheese and caramelized onion sandwich, both were served with a small side salad and a few crisps. My toastie was white small bread tasteless cheese and the bread was also tasteless. My wife's bread was not much bigger and again tasteless cheese and the pickle was not caramelized onion. The coffee was the only saving grace. Was it worth the almost £16 we paid for it definitely not.

Came across this place whilst waiting for a meeting, you get good service, food and coffee. If back in the area will call in again. There is also free wifi

This cafe is Brilliant. The staff are happy and welcoming. The food is delicious and good value. The staff clean the tables (and chairs if necessary) and sweep around and under the tables after each customer. The place is spotless.....and the staff may greet you with cloth in hand but there's still a big smile!

The coffee shop is situated at the back of the garden centre. Sandwiches were lovely and fresh they come with crisps and salad.

Had a lovely breakfast here. Portions are very good and food very nice and hot. Reasonable prices too. Only complaint would be that you only seem to be allowed 1 sachet of ketchup each. In such a lovely cafe I think proper bottles of sauces would be better.

Called here for a quick breakfast snack on our way to an event .We both had bacon and sausage sandwiches and flat whites. Really friendly staff and service. Appreciated the quality of the sausages and the bacon. Great flat whites so good I had 2!

Para una cafetería jardín, esto es bastante encantador. Un montón de asientos, con una buena selección de comida y bebidas, y los camareros son un crédito para el lugar. . . atento, cortés, servicial y amable. Un soplo de aire fresco. Sin duda recomendable.

Tarde en el día, pero el personal era todavía muy hablador y servicial después de un largo día. Llevamos a nuestro hijo discapacitado a visitar la gruta y luces, que eran sencillamente impresionantes, el mejor que he visto en cualquier lugar. Si tienes una silla...

Tenía un café y tarta después de visitar la gruta con Santas mis nietos. Excelente relación calidad-precio, encantador, amable atención chicos que celebran Santa con una historia, todos lo pasamos de maravilla!

£2.50 each!!!! No marshmallows or cream in a tiny "cup" The hot chocolate had no chocolate in it. Did get a replacement and then was told we could of had marshmallows and cream if we'd asked! Should we not have been offered?? Friend just opted for a refund after it leaving a nasty bitter after taste.

After years of going to the other coffee shop up the road and having very average food we popped into brookside Garden Centre and decided to have lunch. I'm gutted I haven't been here before, the food was just lovely generous portions, lots of choice and a whole gluten free menu. Nice chirpy helpful staff lovely layout a really lovely place for a coffee or lunch. I'll be back soon.

Lunchtime visit, to the restaurant, although busy, service was excellent, the menus were clearly displayed, plenty of choices, also a Gluten free, for customers who need this, food was served piping hot, ample portions, beautifully presented, inexpensive price, excellent for wheelchair users, plenty of space, before reaching the restaurant,theres a variety of all sorts of things to see, gifts, books, plants, and lots more, the garden centre is well stocked, amble around at your leisure enjoying the peaceYes, there is ample car parking

Trying to make the most of an all too short visit to her English family, our 3-year old Australian grand daughter and her English dad, were taken to one of our favourite haunts. Good coffee, range of food and smiling service, all at easy on the budget prices with fish, animals and Postman Pat ride with lots of interesting things to browse and buy, made for a memorable visit.

Easy access for wheelchair, lovely coffee and delicious cakes. Lots of seating. Accessible loo. Very good garden centre to wander around before or after coffee.

This is a very good coffee shop for all ages with good seating and all very clean. The food is very good. I popped in for lunch and will come back again.

Have been here a few times now with my wife for lunch . Good prices usually very busy but service is good. Good wholesome choices . I would recommend this place if you are in the area.

Enjoyable lunch with a friend, excellent menu choice and all very fresh, local produce. Staff efficient and friendly.Cafe is clean and well kept.

This is a favourite haunt of mine. I only visit the garden centre to have lunch and a coffee.!! The service is excellent and the food is fabulous, there jacket potatoes are gorgeous and the portions are very generous and the fillings are tasty. The specials menu is varied and good value. I cant fault this place the only criticism I have is I would love a salad for my lunch unfortunately these are not available here :-( However I still visit twice a week !!

Dropped by for a coffee and browse of the garden centre - which also was hosting Santa's Grotto - which has been booked up since August ! a few spaces left if you get lucky though. The cafe was very well presented, on offer snacks and cakes but also homemade lunches, jacket potatoes and our choice a delicious leek and potato soup served with french bread. Staff were very courteous and brought drinks and food to the table - all in all a very pleasant atmosphere.

good quality food served during lunch time up to 2.30pm then the main courses finish. after that its cakes and buns ect, the only criticism is they have started to charge extra for things like mustard vinager ect which seems a little bit mean at 7p a time, other than that the service is very good.

This coffee shop is situated within the rear of Brookside Garden Centre, It is very clean & well presented.There is a good choice of hot food, pastries & beverages. The tables are cleared promptly and even the floor is swept under & around the table when vacated. It is always busy, reflecting the choice of food, which is sensibly priced. There is a good sized car park to the front & side of the Garden Centre.During the run up to Christmas, there is a fantastic display of Christmas decorations for sale, plus a Santa's Grotto which children & parents will find amazing! Santa' s Grotto opens in November. We would recomend this coffe shop and garden centre.
